If you don't trust the software to do what it says, then none of this matters anyway since they could have added this in silently ages ago or they could push custom firmwares out to targeted individuals to do it.

Everything is based on the trust of the OS and hardware so it's not a useful point to make.

They show it clearly above the slider when shutting down. Since this is a feature virtually 100% of users want on. This seems appropriate.

For the average user they are the same thing. "off" is not even a state the average user uses. It's either open and connected to the network or closed and in sleep mode.

I would think the normal drain of a battery sitting on the shelf is more than this feature uses.

The security of key fobs is not a great concern when the windows can still be smashed.

It's absolutely a good thing that these cameras are required with how many children are run over frequently as drivers reverse their cars.

It literally tells you about this right next to the slider to turn off. If you tap the message it lets you turn it off. I see absolutely no issues with this.

looks like another 10 years at most going by the current rate. And I expect it will speed up at the end when we reach something like 90% and some sites go v6 only.

I get away from this by just not caring about work or what happens on a personal or emotional level. If I'm getting paid good money and I'm physically comfortable, I'm not really bothered what is going on because I won't stress or lose a minutes sleep over it.

Eventually I want to save up enough money to be self sustaining off investments and then spend my time doing whatever I want to do.

It's not a currency but a utility. You can't buy and hold bandwidth like you can currency.

>scanning on your phone (not in the cloud)

The scanning only touches photos which are stored on iCloud. Yes it does it on your phone but the reality is the same on iCloud or Google Photos. Both Apple and Google can push out changes live to every phone without warning, so what they may do in the future doesn't really matter. Only what they claim to be doing now. This is actually a more privacy friendly approach because it would be compatible with encrypted cloud storage.

Yeah I just went from an average Adelaide job to a highish end Melbourne job working remote from Adelaide and the change has been amazing. Almost everyone from my last company just left for remote jobs paying way more.

Companies seem to hand out only crumbs for pay rises but are willing to drop mountains of extra money when hiring fresh people. In 3 years of working at one company, they gave me an extra $20k in pay rises. After leaving that job for another one, My pay went up $60k AUD in one go.

This makes no sense. If you want to hide, just tap the warning and it gives you the option to turn off the feature.

So it works best for everyone. The average person can track their stolen phones now. And people hiding from the government can still turn it off.
