Cloudflare took down our website after trying to force us to pay $120000 within 24h
  • I really love cloudflare especially for my hobby projects but in this case they asked for outright Ransome. From this I learnt to keep Nameservers & domain sellers different. I am going to transfer domain away from nameserver.

  • T-Mobile's Forced Arbitration
  • If nobody would do it. Why would company offer it? If it was indeed an anti-theft company should have informed the original owner(in their record) and should have denied any unlocking. If it was real anti-theft why would they provide app to unlock carrier.

    Let me give you an example of actual anti-theft feature. Apple will not unlock iPhone, no matter how much money u try to pay. That's an anti-theft feature. T-MOBILE has history of excess charging customers. This is plain & simple business tactics to earn more money. As OP @Charger8232@lemmy.ml told T-Mobile's official app is dysfunctional. That app is dysfunctional, so people can't unlock themselves.

  • T-Mobile's Forced Arbitration
  • This is not an anti-theft process. This is just way for companies to make more 💰. T-Mobile is allowing him to unlock 🔓 after he pays them some cash. It like company is happy to let anyone steal , as long as they are paid.

  • Microsoft's screenshot everything feature isn't so bad
  • Oh! You have misunderstood the whole concept of privacy. I have a thought experiment for you:-

    Let's assume Microsoft is not lying 🤥. The data (screenshot) remains on device, which is passed to some AI model like Image-to-text etc. This model generates text on-device. But no where Microsoft guarantee's that the text generated or output from those AI models won't be sent to the Microsoft. They only say the screenshots and AI models remain on-device, but the output/metadata can be sent to Microsoft.

    That is the issue. Earlier there were many apps where Microsoft couldn't pry because they were encrypted etc. Now they don't need to break any encryption they just need metadata. That's easy to transfer and use.

  • Microsoft Recall takes constant screenshots of everything you do
  • You know actually this is great way for Microsoft for surveillance. Not all apps and there data was accessible to Microsoft, like some data were encrypted etc. No that they are taking screenshot they can directly run those screenshots through ML Models. ML Models Maybe on device but the output/metadata they produce might be sent to Microsoft. For example Microsoft might run Image-to-Text on device but all the text from output could be sent to Microsoft. Your data will remain on device but Microsoft will still know

    Samsung forces repair stores to destroy customer smartphones, iFixit ends cooperation
  • The use of aftermarket parts in repair is relatively common. This provision requires independent repair shops to destroy the devices of their own customers, and then to snitch on them to Samsung.

    That's just pure evil and bully. If you have aftermarket parts they will destroy the device and force you to pay for it. This is the reason we need right to repair. Every consumer should support it.

    If I create a OSS app with analytics to detect & log crashes with feature use, is it a bad practice?

    If I create a OSS app with analytics to detect & log crashes with feature use, is it a bad practice? I think analytics is really helpful in finding:-

    • which features are worth developing &
    • which bugs needs to be solved first.

    Edit...

    Things Collected

    • IP Address for use ping (for country)
    • All crashes with IP
    • Feature use with IP Crashes are store for upto 6 months to solve bug but rest are collected and delete after 3 months

    It is opt-out but user are informed about it during first / install time. To disable analytics Settings --> Privacy

    I want to know right way to introduce analytics in OSS
