You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it, Scott McNealy said of online privacy back in 1999, a view the former CEO of the now-defunct Sun Microsystems <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/2 ... reiterated in 2015</a>. Despite the hue and cry his initial remarks caused, hes been proven largely correct.Cookies, beacons, digital signatures, trackers, and other technologies on websites and in apps let advertisers, businesses, governments, and even criminals build a profile about what you do, who you know, and who you are at very intimate levels of detail. Remember that 2012 story about how <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhil ... 60546d6668" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Target could tell a teenager was pregnant before her parents knew</a>, based on her online activities? That is the norm today. Google and Facebook are the most notorious commercial internet spies, and among the most pervasive, but they are hardly alone.<a href="/article/3587752/online-privacy-best-browsers-settings-and-tips.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a>

How Apple Car could become the future car-as-a-service

Wed, 05 Oct 2022 08:42:00 -0700

Apple services are a cash cow that feed the companys future. Its obvious Apple intends building on the services it already provides and the company that gave us the iPod clearly understands that todays digital consumers demand access more than ownership. Theyre all in on the subscription tango in Cupertino.<h2>Next-generation vehicles for a monthly fee</h2>
Thats why I think subscriptions will be a key component of the companys strategy for the Apple Car.??Whatever the speculation around that project, we know Apple has thousands of people working on it and I doubt they're being paid to waste time. The results of that effort may not be what we expect, but its most definitely on.<a href="/article/3675355/how-apple-car-could-become-the-future-car-as-a-service.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a>

<a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/3 ... l">Windows 11 has been released</a>, but behind the scenes, Microsoft is constantly working to improve the newest version of Windows. The company frequently rolls out public preview builds to members of its Windows Insider Program, allowing them to test out and even help shape upcoming features.The Windows Insider program is divided into three channels:<ul>
<li>The Dev Channel is where new features are introduced for initial testing, regardless of which Windows release theyll eventually end up in. This channel is best for technical users and developers and builds in it may be unstable and buggy.</li>
<li>In the Beta Channel, youll get more polished features that will be deployed in the next major Windows release. This channel is best for early adopters, and Microsoft says your feedback in this channel will have the most impact.</li>
<li>The Release Preview Channel typically doesnt see action until shortly before a new feature update is rolled out. Its meant for final testing of an upcoming release and is best for those who want the most stable builds.</li>
</ul>
The Beta and Release Preview Channels also receive bug-fix builds for the currently shipping version of Windows 11.<a href="/article/3623370/windows-11-insider-previews-whats-in-latest-build.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a>
