One thing I will give Apple is they seem to respect user privacy, and don't want anyone (else) harvesting their user's data.

While the amount of data about me may not have caused harm in my life yet–as far as I know–I don’t want to be the victim of monopolistic internet oligarchs as they continue to cash in on surveillance-based business models. What’s a concerned citizen of the internet to do? Here’s one no-brainer: Stop using Chrome and switch to Firefox. But Chrome has seen me naked and assures me it will love me for me -- for a price.

Indeed, and I'm not sure whether implied acceptance from closing the cookie pop-up is within either the letter or the spirit of GDPR.
I won't be reading anything on there until they sort their attitude out and I suspect that I'm far from alone in that.

Norman is an algorithm trained to understand pictures but, like its namesake Hitchcock's Norman Bates, it does not have an optimistic view of the world. We all go a little mad sometimes.

Not for me if I have a choice, but I am learning to use the phone more since no personal computer at work, so use phone. Now I get news and youtube on my phone. Before this I used my laptop. It does not work as well.

Apparently it was just a bug that utterly erased tablets off Google’s Android sites in many languages and localities, and the tablet section has now returned, but for awhile it looked like Google has quietly crept out of the tablet business. This is what happens when you release an obituary about someone who didn't die.

Ever had the nagging suspicion that your car's manufacturer was charging outrageous prices for parts simply because it could? Software might be to blame. Now hold on a minute, are you telling me NOT to repair my car at the dealership?

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Try: "all the way."
NY Times, June 3, 2018: [^] "Facebook Gave Device Makers Deep Access to Data on Users and Friends"Quote: Facebook allowed the device companies access to the data of users’ friends without their explicit consent, even after declaring that it would no longer share such information with outsiders. Some device makers could retrieve personal information even from users’ friends who believed they had barred any sharing, The New York Times found.
«... thank the gods that they have made you superior to those events which they have not placed within your own control, rendered you accountable for that only which is within you own control For what, then, have they made you responsible? For that which is alone in your own power—a right use of things as they appear.» Discourses of Epictetus Book I:12
