Lots of freedom and democracy there…

I remember when apple put out a software update to intentionally throttle the phone’s processor, to save charge on it’s irreplacable battery. I hope this prevents companies doing this sort of shit as well.

Wow, I sure am glad that the kerb is there to protect those blades of grass!

Based.

THE TOES!!!

Shaun did a really good video about this 2 years ago.

I generally don’t care about people mocking heads of state but saying Xi Xinping is either Hitler or Winnie the Pooh is offensive.

I noticed before that they mave massively changed their website since I posted this link. It seems they got bought out/bribed by a VPN company to change their site into redirecting to an ad. This is the link to how it used to look: https://thatoneprivacysite.xyz/

Great. Now people are going to read up a bunch of bs generated by a language model and confidently spread around “hallucinations” as facts.

If security is that important then why wouldn’t apple make the phone display a pop-up or splashcreen to the user informing them of the modification, whilst still allowing the phone to be used? There is no need to render the device unusable, just leave the choice up to the user. I think it is much more likely that these measures are taken to monopolise the repair of iPhones and overcharge customers. I think talking about this as a life-threatening problem is quite overdramatic.

Apart from Nazis.

Fuck off.

They want to promote controversial opinions to get more engagement. Simple as that.
