GP> In the end, this tech just takes control from you.
In the end, any tech is always going to take control away from you one way or another. That’s the whole point of using it, so you can achieve things you wouldn’t otherwise be able to.
If you browse through the new section it’s full of mostly cheap indie games.
Your phone will probably broadcast its hash in that scenario too.
> Note: We recommend that you do not mark your Spam/Junk Mail folder to automatically learn as spam. This can create a false positive feedback loop. Imagine an email is incorrectly classified as spam, put in your Spam/Junk Mail folder, and then learned as spam. That means future emails that aren't spam are now more likely to be incorrectly marked as spam, sent to your Spam/Junk Mail folder, and learned as spam. Only mark folders to learn as spam if they're folders you manually move email to.
Worked without problems for sshfs when I tested it briefly.
Here’s a comparison I just made between the iPhone camera’s RAW and default modes, and Halide: https://i.ibb.co/XFMJVjz/9-DD734-F7-CA00-4-E53-85-C7-283315-...
I’d argue if you can wipe it (which requires your iCloud account approval), install it as someone else, login with that new iCloud account, then reset it and it suddenly reverts back to the previous owner, something is wrong or very unintuitive.
The problem on Mac it seems is that there are two official ways to do it. One proper way (the “Erase All Content and Settings”) and one other way (the way we did it, boot into recovery and format it, then go through setup with another iCloud account which apparently just temporarily lets another user use the machine). On iPhone there is no user accessible recovery mode so that can’t happen there.
Source: just wiped and sent back a MacBook Air to my old workspace. My colleague finished the macOS setup and logged in with their iCloud account. After resetting it again (to re-do the setup in the way they wanted) it was locked to my account. So not even installing macOS and logging in to iCloud will bind the machine to you.
Imagine doing that with a machine you bought second hand and the original owner can’t be reached anymore.
Also, the sliding only works correctly if you press and hold and then start sliding. If you swipe, it toggles regardless of which direction you swipe.
The problem really is, why does “Sign in with GitHub” grant permissions to act as the user on GitHub? Shouldn’t that be called something else like “Allow nopecha.com to Act as You”?
I would argue that the words “Sign in with X” should NEVER grant any other permissions than needed for being a pure auth proxy.
Why buy something there if the odds are higher retailer is scamming you, not the other way around?
