I’m pretty sure this was in the book of revelations.

The Iranian president has reportedly died in a helicopter crash.

Unless your ISP is running a cloud service, it wouldn’t be their problem. AWS, Azure, Google etc would be the ones hit with stronger identification requirements.

This so resonates with me, I used to think he was amazing. Now I wouldn’t buy a Tesla because of the petulant man-child.

Op was so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

You’re kidding right? The company made $89.5 billion revenue in the quarter to September 2023. If they’re on the decline it will probably take a few hundred years to show.

They could lose billions behind the couch each year and it would be a rounding error on their bottom line.

I Imagine they’ll use whatever connections are provided to them by their AI overlords.

The VPn may be necessary if their IP address ranges are being blocked, or it could be to get around an API limit?

I wouldn’t be surprised if they are doing it to block AI from hoovering up all of their data.

That’s a possibility, but if it’s locked they won’t be able to log into it to access your data or factory reset it, which will make it essentially worthless to them.

Gluing the SIM card tray will add to that worthlessness but will also prevent you from being able to legitimately sell, trade or give away the phone.

No. It’s the Apple or Android account that is logged into the phone and whether it is connected to a mobile or WiFi network that will determine if you are able to remotely wipe it or not. They could remove/replace the sim but the next time it connects to one of those networks and has an internet connection, the remote wipe command will activate.

Your phone should always be locked with a pin, Face ID etc. if it isn’t the person can just log in to it and access all of your data or factory reset it.

Of course the last quarter was weaker, a new iPhone is about to drop, people are waiting for that. Penalising retail employees is harsh given they can’t do much it.

Yeah, cos it would make sense to hire newly arrived individuals from potentially non-friendly countries.

Damn.

Friend had this and he was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease.

True, but we don’t have any practical alternatives for them.

So stop making any technological advancement because of the potential impact of e-waste? Not saying it’s a bad thing but it will have have its own environmental implications. No new energy development, we have to rely on existing oil and nuclear technology rather than investing in making renewable energy sources cheaper and more efficient.

Apparently it’s based on a plug invented in 1878, according to the BBC.

Headphone jacks are a 19th century invention, if having them restricts innovation then I am all for removing them.
