RidgeRacer Posted April 16, 2020 Report Posted April 16, 2020 Yes, and iMessage has end-to-end encryption. Not even "the man" can see dick picks come across "the wire". I know I've said this to you before, as you have brought up things like 23 & Me. Avoid them like the plague. Laws governing genetic privacy are way too weak, and if the data exists, the government will get access to it if they want to. It was a personal internal struggle for me when I decided to get GlobalEntry. I had to give "the man" my finger prints for the first time, ever. Do I trust DHS with that data? No. But, the convenience of PreCheck/GlobalEntry was worth the additional exposure I thought. You can never completely mitigate the data privacy risk, as that would mean you'd have no electric devices connected to the internet, but you can limit your risk by avoiding unnecessary data sharing.I can't believe I'm admitting this publicly but I'm not gonna lie. Apple's announcement yesterday has me thinking hard about making the switch from Android. The amount of phone that you're getting for $399 is insane. Plus the security and all. Damn. Only possible deal breaker is that the design is severely outdated. 2 Quote

I’m super pumped about that phone too. I hate having to replace my phone, and with my iPhone 7 succumbing to planned obsolescence soon, I’ll sure as shit be getting this one for $399. 1 Quote

For me, I'd be going from a 6.4 inch screen to a 4.7. Plus 1080 full HD to 720p though....I got some serious thinking to do. My current phone is only a few months old but I have sort of a phone problem. Quote

PSUFrankenstein Posted April 16, 2020 Report Posted April 16, 2020 that's interesting, I'll have to check that out....I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Active, which is basically indestructible and waterproof. It fell off my car once doing 50mph and survived with only a scratch. But it's 3 years old and probably won't last much longer anyway. Quote
Shadows Posted April 16, 2020 Report Posted April 16, 2020 Waterproof is bullshit. I ran with my phone in the rain and now the USB port doesn't work. Quote

I have plenty of ink, so I'm not worried about it...paper I can take from work if I need it since I have to go in 1 day a week anyway. "work from home" supplies were pretty scarce when this first started, not sure how it is now. I was considering getting another monitor to replace my second one, which is pretty small and old. Trying to get one shipped at a reasonable price was about as difficult as finding toilet paper Quote
tarponhead Posted April 16, 2020 Report Posted April 16, 2020 And in other news per the John Hopkins website the US positive inflection point in the curve is pretty evident [emoji106] 4 Quote
mbike-ski Posted April 16, 2020 Report Posted April 16, 2020 likewise, our home printer has printed more in the last few weeks that the 4-5 years we've had it, ordered new cartridges yesterday. Sucks having a single small monitor, been emailing stuff to myself and using the ipad as a second... 1 Quote
