It's frustrating to read articles like this written by people who obviously don't travel much and therefore have no clue what they are talking about.
- Yes there are way fewer overhead bins than there are possible space for. This is a very well known thing to anyone who has ever boarded a plane.
- Not having carry on bags is an unworkable solution to anyone who ever has to connect anywhere, or values their time in any way.
- Checking bags adds a minimum of 20 minutes on either side of the flight in the best of cases, and when you have a delay and rebooking, not having checked bags will very often be the difference between you making the flight on the same day at all or not at all.
- The real problem, as any frequent flyer knows, is that airlines don't enforce their sizing guidelines. If they actually did, then a solid 30% of carry on bags would be refused at the gate because they are too large to fit properly in the bin and take up more space than should be allowed.
You are misreading and misunderstanding this whole paragraph.
The purpose of 10.4 is to allow zoom to send your call to other services, like say YouTube for live streaming, or any of the dozens of other services that integrate with their APIs. Without 10.4, three quarters or more of Zooms use cases would no longer work.
It is depressing how few people seem to be able to read or understand basic legal text nowadays.
Service Generated Data is *very clearly defined* to not include user generated data. Service Genrated Data would include data like APM, error logs, aggregate stats around how many customers use features. None of this data us PII.
It is depressing how many CISOs and others reposted this drivel.
Because Apple makes a shitton of money selling ads on iOS using its Ad ID.
Wait, did you seriously buy into their marketing BS about how they care about your privacy? Apple cares about making money, and that's it. They hamstrung Google and Meta on iOS simply so they would have a monopoly on advertising trackers on the platform.
If Apple can convince your cohort, herein referred to as "you" for simplicity, that everyone else is toxic, then you'll only use Apple products. If you only use Apple products, Apple has higher quality user data about you than their direct and indirect competitors, herein referred to as "anyone else" or "others". This means Apple is uniquely positioned to sell more effectively targeted advertising to you than anyone else. This is especially true when Apple takes steps to improve privacy and security for you by making it more difficult for others to track you.
Apple said they cared about your privacy [from others, not from them]. To be clear, I'm trying to be objective. They're not selling individual personal data or recklessly leaking your data. They have promised to keep your data secure, and I think they've often lived up to that promise, especially compared to others (full disclosure: I own a multitude of Apple devices, but I'm not a fanatic).
However, the bottom line here is that using Apple products means you're putting a kind of centralized trust in Apple, and Apple never said they wouldn't take advantage of that trust where possible.
i'm not denying anything. the comment i replied to stated that developers can use iAd to "display [ads] in apps to receive a percentage", which i pointed out is no longer the case.
in no way does my comment deny that there's other ads sold by apple (there are, obviously, e.g. app store search ads), but that's a completely separate issue from the specific iAd program the parent comment was talking about.
The same way anyone makes with ads, you charge people to show them to others. Apple's ads division alone has revenue in the same ballpark as Netflix. And now that they're cracking down so that first party is the only way to go, they will do really well.
What data do they collect? Where/how do they collect it? Are they mining my camera roll and notes or just my browser history? What about my text messages?
Oh wait that’s because they created that rule for others
Go Settings -> Privacy -> Ads
>>You may still be served ads based on the criteria listed below. Your personal data is not provided to third parties.
Contextual Information
On the App Store, relevant ads may be selected using your search query, information about the page you're viewing, or the app you're downloading. On Apple News and Stocks, the type of story you read may be used to select relevant ads. In addition, information about your device’s keyboard language settings, device type, OS version, mobile carrier, and connection type may be used to serve ads to you. If Location Services is enabled and you’ve granted permission to App Store, Apple News, or the Apple TV app to access your location, your location may be used to serve you geographically relevant ads in each respective app.
I dont really care except about the icloud popup on my mac which is annoying. But notifications on the phone mostly for apple music sometimes appletv, preinstalled app for the watch and for apple home products, some guide popped up for apple home once, theres a space in the pull down menu for apple home I probably removed it, mail campaigns for new products i probably unsubscribed. Obviously a lot of copywriting in the app store. Anyway I already have the ecosystem so to speak so its not expensive relatively to just buy icloud but I have no need for it. Music is worse than spotify. Appletv I watched only for "for all of mankind".
When my phone’s eligibility for renewing applecare approached I got a red bubble on my setting app and there was no way to say “yeah, I got it but stop telling me” except by waiting for the eligibility to run out.
Nearly every company does that. There’s nothing particularly nefarious about Apple here.
This may surprise you, but Microsoft, Google, Samsung, Amazon, and nearly every other major tech company use similar tactics to try to get you to use their other products.
Im not surprised I just answered in hyperbole because to not notice or pay attention to any ad surfaces or product placement in iOS, presumed if you use it often, I envy that level of mind filtering
I have an ipad, an iphone and a macbook pro, and the only time i get asked to “buy more icloud” is when i’m running low. I got an add to try out apple music once when i got a device and maybe whenever i get a device i get ads for subscriptions, once. You’re exaggerating
Yes I'm exaggerating I'm glad it was noticed
I should make my next comment on this site sagely and confucian again rather than attempt hyperbole humor against the largest company in the world on a venture capitalist tech forum
I don’t know of any mainstream computer platforms with any less of that sort of advertising. No, Linux desktops and de-Googled Android phones are not mainstream. I don’t understand why Apple is being singled out here.
This is cynical to the point of uselessness. This is true of anything any business does. Customers still benefit even if a company is "only doing it for the money", or whatever.
Exactly, now you get it. It's especially true for FANG, which literally exists only for the purpose of squeezing as much money as possible out of us.
I'll give you an excellent data point on Google as an example. They don't care about click-fraud, at all, because it makes them money. In fact, it makes them so much money, I don't think realistically they could exist without it. When I was a teenager I ran a network of websites, one of which three of my web developer friends actually ran ads on frequently for their websites. We got attacked by a massive click-fraud botting attack (shady competitor wanted to get us kicked off of AdSense). Anyway, $843 of my earnings that month got flagged as click-fraud. $55 of that was actually ads that were run by my friends. While Google happily ripped that money away from me, my three friends never got anything refunded nor any indication that their ad buys were subject to click fraud.
They committed three person-years, not three years. This project would need dozens of person-years over a three year period.
Also a comment on Github is not a binding support contract. Meta executives could deprioritize this project at any time... hell the person making the commitment could already be laid off, we have no clue. As someone who worked in big tech for a long time, trust me - it needs to be in writing with an exec signature.
Tobi didn't write any of this. He probably has never even read it.
