What we did, was add a folder on the desk top called "Storage" which went to their network share. It was hammered into them in training that any files, etc. they wanted to save went to the "Storage" folder. We also hammered that "Recycle Bin" was actually Trash...look at the icon. We still has some that used the bin for storage but they didn't last long. If users can't do simple things like that, then they should be non-users was manglements position. Worked pretty well.
Well, the whole key to their BS is right here... "It helps improve ads and..." Ads = cash in the corporate coffers. Everything else is eyewash.
The real only way to stop them is turn the phone off or as the article says, delete the app. I do question the "deleting the app" as it will still pop up in the "uninstalled" menu which means some shit is there waiting. My ex deleted FB from her phone and even the icon for installing. It kept coming back from the dead.
The communist party of China doesn't seem to care.
Why should they? They have more people than they know what to do with. Looking at some of the failed policies in the past such as 1 child per family, it's not's going to get any better. The people are under the watchful eye of the government and any behavior not the norm is punished.
It does seem though that they have changed in one area... profit is now king but at the expense of everyone else.
Remember that the RAF has shrunk from 75000 people in 1990 to 35000 today (on paper, actually probably much less).
If they follow most bureaucratic policies in government and even the corporate world, there's a hell of a lot more management and admin types then worker bees who are actually doing something. And as we know in IT, outsourcing is never a good idea for optimum performance.
I think this is being over analyzed. Kids are kids and don't want to hang out with mon, dad, and grandparents. When they older generation moves in, the kids move on to someplace else. We saw this with the place ran by "Tom" (MySpace, remember them?)... He sold it as the kids were moving on to FB while the old folks didn't until they sorted out where the kids moved to.
Some of the newer Ford vehicles here in the States have that also. It will gently move the wheel while sounding the alarm but it's gentle enough that light hand pressure can override it.
Disclaimer: I'm not fond of these things at this point. Too much can go wrong including giving the driver a sense of well-being and immortality.
That usually works but yes, local instructions are supposed to take precedent. Saw a case in 'Nam where two Huey Cobras were taking off and requested the normal "break left" (local rule due to other A/C) out of the pattern. Tower came back and said "Break right". Needless to say, one heard and responded the other didn't. Two choppers down and 4 guys dead because of that.
“It’s dangerous to upload your face to a random app,” Robert told The Register on Tuesday. "Once your photo of your face is uploaded, you lose your rights on it. You have no idea how your face will be used."
This is a true "no-shit-Sherlock" moment. But most users either haven't a clue or don't care because it's "new and shiny."
Per the article, he was in the "high occupancy lane" which is supposed to be used only then passengers present. A single occupant is a no-no. And he really must not have paying attention as usually firetrucks with emergency lights on are quite visible from a distance which means he didn't notice other cars moving over to the other lane that is if there were other cars in that lane. I smell a porkie.
So why don't they find another way?
Pick one or more:
1) Profit is more important than delivering a properly tested OS.
2) They are the only game in town for most businesses. Linux just isn't there yet for most of them.
3) Having users do the testing (forced obviously) is cheaper than doing themselves.
Seems that just by the fact you have one these "things" means you've handed over your privacy to strangers. And privacy is one of things that's slowly disappearing in the world with cameras on street corners, phone calls being recorded (for "quality purposes" of course <rolls eyes), and various agencies slurping everything they can from the Internet.
I'm not sure why they're "needed". Maybe it's "nice" not to have to leave note on paper for family or something.
