Anonymous Coward User ID: 76939023 United States 06/19/2020 01:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This started rolling out awhile ago and it has nothing to do with cell outages, in fact they need the active signal to push out the updates. No, I don't agree with it and no I don't want it but it wasn't done in secret either. If and I stress IF they're telling the truth, you have to install an app from the app store in order for it to actually do anything. This is just the framework for the apps to function. Allegedly none of the tracking can work if you turn off bluetooth even if you have an app installed that enables the tracking. All that said I think it was dirty to install it without asking, it's a clear privacy violation with all kinds of potential for abuse by black hats, government agencies and law enforcment. Unfortunately most places have suspended or ammended privacy laws to allow this crap to be installed on our phones. If a lawsuit ever kicks up over it I'll be signing on you can count on it. |

Turning them off appears to keep it disabled. Quoting: FuckBoris You can't even fucking turn it on at all without an app installed that uses the API, for fucks sake. Hey fuckstick! Why would they install it on phones if they didn't intend to use it! $3.50 It’s already on the phone, we can’t delete the app. I tried it. |

That is my arm now; broken for 7 months User ID: 75569412 United States 06/19/2020 04:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It has my heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation percentage, and interstitial glucose level (all excellent) but no Covid-19 app or extension. If someone here has seen where it is in an Android, please screen shot it and post the imgur or site of your choice to show where it may be found Mine definitely has MFA and location enabled, as the Gov WAN and cloud cannot be accessed by it from a location I should not be in or if it is not me on the device. Last Edited by Louis in Richmond on 06/19/2020 04:04 PM Until your military service has required you neutralize enemy combatants and invaders in the defense of your country, don't presume to tell us that have defended you that you don't support every shot we fired to eliminate that enemy. |

User ID: 75137181 United States 06/19/2020 04:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | First of all, you can stop being an asshole by calling people "dipshit" in your reply. Secondly, if there are publicly traded shares, then it is not privately held, as you said. So that is bullshit that you made up. Secondly, there is no majority shareholder at Apple. The largest shareholder is Vanguard Global Advisors LLC which is a venture capital company. They hold about 7%. Apple's CEO is Tim Cook, who is probably a Democrat. So what? Are you some sort of wingnut fanatic who only buys products based on the CEO's political affiliation. No I wouldn't buy Apple's Chinese Junk Dipshit. OK, whatever. Feel free to buy a phone sold by a Korean company and made in China if you prefer. But you can stop making up shit like "Apple is a private company owned and operated by Democrats" Not ran by democrats? Not the DNC but the CEO of apple is a democrat and a polesmoker so piss off Interesting times |

All great truths begin as Blasphemies. G.B.S. GLP is like a diamond mine of information, in the sense that you have to shovel mountains of crap to find the diamonds, but it's still worth the pain. |
