Repair with what parts? If the parts aren’t available, good luck repairing

Personal data is the coin of the internet. Any device that accesses your network including your phone can gather and transmit data back to companies like google, apple, hackers etc.

That means it’s not a good bill. If you have to rely on goodwill to prevent something like this from happening, you created an advertisement, not a law

If someone has already read and summarised it, it's less ads and cookie-gates that one has to get through to get the information.

Bad headlines are clickbait. Don't reward bad behavior.

"I'm sorry Dave..."
Speech recognition software was a mistake. Overrated.
The algorithm is able to track words spoken in streams, and prevent users from saying what they actually want to say, or the Ads get pulled.

Yeah. It's one of the main reasons I can't bring myself to buy anymore Sonos speakers. I love that I have the old ones without Alexa built-in.

I've always repaired my own things and will continue to. I don't care what anyone says. I have the skill set I will use it.

Honestly I ask mine to find my phone a lot, it's pretty helpful. If anyone is listening then they're just catching my husband and I making weird noises at each other.
