I know someone who got the snip pretty young because he and his wife didn’t want kids. Years later friends of ours had kids and it changed their mind. He got it undone and they had a kid.

Seems like a minor thing to do and condoms are the worst.

I know I’m earning this downvoted spam, but…

This requires you to use enterprise-oriented features that blast you with warnings telling you not to do it. After you ignore those warnings they can install anything they want on your device.

This is basically sideloading for corporations.

And it is exactly an example of what will happen (and be quite common) if regular sideloading and alternative app stores with no Apple validation are forced on us.

It’s a problem on Android, already. Banking apps disable themselves if your device is rooted due to malicious Trojans that exploit that feature to gain easy access to your data.

I tried to read the books this is based on and felt like I was being punked.

The writing in the first chapter, specifically around the dialogue of the man on the stage who is telling the story about his wife’s father was so incredibly stilted that I couldn’t get through it. It was unfathomably badly written dialogue that I can only imagine it’s something lost in translation that triggers every pet peeve I have about dialogue.

And most people rave about the books. So this is probably a me problem more than anything. I just don’t understand it.

So as long as they hired some writers to do a better job at the dialogue I might be one of those people who likes the show and not the books.

edit: dialogue

They showed up in their finest work attire, which took, likely, 3 or more hours to put on.

You know nothing of respect.

That’s not a gotcha. It’s literally what people want in iOS and already have an alternative available that they can choose.

Apple-bad people want to remove the choice.

Or they can buy iOS products and not Android ones?

…do you know what enforces all of that?

The App store…

Specifically it limits what APIs can and can’t be used by apps and forces the use of entitlements to access features of the hardware.

Downvote if you want, but entitelements are part of the code signing process which this article is trying to avoid. And jailbroken apps already don’t have the protections you’re talking about.

It’s not uncommon for people to datamine not public API all over Apple’s frameworks and the only thing preventing the usage is App Store policies and static analysis tools.

I can’t wait for the day when all it takes to install an app on an iPhone is to click a link and you’re done!

That way all it will take to infect my parents’ phones with malware capable of scraping copious amounts of my data will be normal phone usage that Apple can’t protect against!

And now that AI is capable of simulating voices reasonably well, a phone call from mom asking for sensitive information can be done through her phone by anyone!

I feel like this post, and a frequent problem with these types of conversations online, is that it confuses millionaire and billionaire.

You might be able to become a millionaire if you invest in a retirement fund your entire working life. It’s basically required to do so if you expect to retire middle class.

But you cannot work or invest your way towards becoming a billionaire. You can only get there by being extremely wealthy to begin with.

She matched with him knowing full well who he is and that he’s in her class, though, so it’s kind of on her.
