started in an Episode of Black mirror on Netflix Women gets crazy after her social score goes way down

I know we have the ability to decode electric typewriters by how they sound. Old school. Lol

“because someone who consistently buys Classical music is not suddenly going to buy hundreds of HipHop tracks” or they could have a new girlfriend. ;-)

Well, I don't see them staying together long. . . he'll get tired of the barbell in her tongue, and the other piercing, before too long. . . or she will. . . after he runs out of money.

Can’t disagree with anything there. Typical cycle.

“....Apple says that information about how you use your device, including the approximate number of phone calls or emails you receive is used to compute the device trust score when you make a purchase.”

WTH does that mean? Trusted to do what?

See My Reply # 29 to understand what Apple is doing.

Isn’t that the best way to enslave someone? Get them to vie for some sort of reward as you interfere in their rights and privacy....ask any decent psychologist about whether or not this is a way to train people to be your pet rats. I think there’s way more of Apple in China than just manufacturing plants.....

We know it’s you that works at Apple

“How Chicom of them.”

Yeah, it’s nefarious. Just like the commies at eBay having seller ratings... (rolls eyes)

Ask the Chinese if they “get it”?

Do Falun Gong get to keep all their organs?

If not the actual iCloud keys (I’ll take your word on that), do you think Apple might hand over specific curated data to the Chinese government in exchange for favorable treatment?
Like, oh say, secretly handing over a list of customers whose decrypted iCloud data matches templates of Falun Gong activity or sympathy?

If the US determines that Apple or any other company within reach of US jurisdiction is engaging in such practices, the executive leadership should be prosecuted and all assets confiscated. If we don’t presently have law to that effect now, we should fix that pronto.
