Bing is still a thing. Bing offered Apple a boatload of money to be the default search engine in Safari. I’m sure Mozilla could make a deal with Microsoft.

I also wonder if they could just prompt the user to select a search engine from a randomized list, and then get paid from whichever service the user picks?

Some browsers sell placement spaces on the default start page to make money as well. It would be another revenue stream for Mozilla and it’s easily updatable by the user directory don’t want any of these default sites.

Aww. Gruber is mad he was left out of the loop and isn’t such an Apple insider after all.

I bet you might have a court case if you could prove that the dealer had disabled this advertising “feature” during your test drive.

Is that an 8-track tape deck? 😉

If you disconnect the car’s cellular network, do the ads go away?

It’s still usable, it just reverts to the old school Roombas. Press clean to vacuum. Press dock to return to charger.

Works fine without the app.

Another company squandering their patents and market advantage. Reminds me of TiVo.

“Go steal data on Mars” is a rockin’ sign. 👍

This is a great way to get Apple to pull manufacturing out of Brazil.

EVs don’t need fancy brakes because they use regenerative braking.

VW lost the plot on product names years ago.

There are currently no plans to ship this (or the slightly larger longer range model) in the US. 🙄

Dumbasses.

And you were clever.

Your definition of “rolling over” is different than mine.

• They’re requiring a warrant for the information. They don’t just hand over stuff at any request.
• They review the warrant before handing over the data. They don’t provide data in 100% of cases.
• They offer users end to end encryption, which would certainly make it difficult for the data recipient to decrypt if the data is handed over.
• They don’t offer the government a “backdoor” to make it easy to decrypt user data.
• They offer users the option to encrypt and store the data locally rather than uploading it to Apple.

What would you have them do differently when the warrants issued are valid in the legal sense/approved by a judge?

With a warrant. Fortunately end to end encryption is still available in the US (for now).

Do you have citations for “Apple has rolled over for law enforcement in the past”? I’m wondering if this is country-specific.

Fortunately you can still back up your devices locally, and store your photos locally, and these backups can be encrypted.

Grapple? I left Meta. There was no grappling.
