    If you don't trust the software to do what it says, then none of this matters anyway since they could have added this in silently ages ago or they could push custom firmwares out t…

    They show it clearly above the slider when shutting down. Since this is a feature virtually 100% of users want on. This seems appropriate.

    For the average user they are the same thing. "off" is not even a state the average user uses. It's either open and connected to the network or closed and in sleep mode.

    I would think the normal drain of a battery sitting on the shelf is more than this feature uses.

    The security of key fobs is not a great concern when the windows can still be smashed.

    It's absolutely a good thing that these cameras are required with how many children are run over frequently as drivers reverse their cars.

    It literally tells you about this right next to the slider to turn off. If you tap the message it lets you turn it off. I see absolutely no issues with this.

    looks like another 10 years at most going by the current rate. And I expect it will speed up at the end when we reach something like 90% and some sites go v6 only.

    I get away from this by just not caring about work or what happens on a personal or emotional level. If I'm getting paid good money and I'm physically comfortable, I'm not really b…

    It's not a currency but a utility. You can't buy and hold bandwidth like you can currency.

    Yeah I just went from an average Adelaide job to a highish end Melbourne job working remote from Adelaide and the change has been amazing. Almost everyone from my last company just…

    Companies seem to hand out only crumbs for pay rises but are willing to drop mountains of extra money when hiring fresh people. In 3 years of working at one company, they gave me a…

    This makes no sense. If you want to hide, just tap the warning and it gives you the option to turn off the feature. So it works best for everyone. The average person can track thei…

    That has nothing to do with this change. It doesn't even seem like they had their phone turned off for this to be in play anyway. The most likely answer is that they hit a bug in t…

    This is sort of more of the same as what I was saying. Android phones have horrible hardware flaws and they don't gain much attention. At the same time as "You are holding it wrong…

    Depends on what amounts we are talking. You and the people you know are probably already on the top end of pay and can chose anything. The devs I know saw $40k-$60k AUD pay bumps b…

    It's just another barrier. With enough hassle, people will move to stealing other easier things. When find my was released, phone theft went down massively. Not every criminal want…

    And for those people, you can turn that setting off. It even warns you about it on the power off screen. If you don't trust the setting to actually turn off, then you shouldn't tru…

    Almost all of the digs at Apple have been things that apply industry wide and it is an interesting observation. There was one recently worded something like "EU to require Apple to…

    They have two use cases. You can use it to just click a link and close but the use case they go for is a full social media like reddit where the full features of an SPA make sense.…
