New comment by tartoran in "The mental health of young men is declining. Experts warn it could get worse"

Is it just the young men whose mental health is declining? I'd go a generation earlier and see how things start to get pretty bad. A lot of kids these days don't hang out in person, they are hanging out virtually while laying down in their beds or in comfortable chairs in front of their consoles or computers playing video games online. This is quite unealthy way to grow up. A lot of teenagers, male or female are also undetachable from their cellphones and social media too. This is also a very unhealthy way to grow up.

Sure, that goes without saying. But the current direction of anticonsumer surveillance seems to be going in a different direction. While waiting for the pendullum to hit back we can take it into our own hands and protect ourselves.

Why not? It created quite a discussion around the subject. If you don't care for this why not simply ignore it?

Hope to see a new market for disabling telemetry and phonehome features from cars. It should be legal to do so, if you own the car I suppose. I'm thinking that rigth now few pople even know how much spying their new car does to them but this will change and as awareness grows more and more people will want to do it.

In theory I agree wholeheartedly. But what's the alternative for these users to do marketing? Also remember that a lot of these folks have no idea that they can be ejected from a platform with no reason/recourse..

In a way you're right but that should have been her choice not forced out with no warning nor recourse. Also she was using META for marketing so this will affect her bottom line, she was basically kicked off the market...

New comment by tartoran in "Apple Unveils iPhone Duo"

It's probably a good idea to reduce phone computing to a minimum. Also the larger phone will likely damage your vision to need glasses eventually but there are other ergonomic factors at play. Do you want to hold your phone with two hands? Doesn't it get tiring for wrists to hold the phone in the position? I personally reduced phone usage but am still using a SE2022 which is a small phone. For reading I got a e ink reader and Im very happy with that.
