02:21:19 <MrMobodies> https://bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/blog/apples-new-iphone-update-is-restricting-internet-freedom-in-the-uk/
02:21:19 <EEVBot> [url] Apple’s New iPhone Update Is Restricting Internet Freedom in the UK — Big Brother Watch | bigbrotherwatch.org.uk
02:21:37 <MrMobodies> "With the release of iOS 26.4, Apple has introduced mandatory age and identity checks at the operating system level. In simple terms, your iPhone may now require you to prove your age before you can freely browse the web or use certain apps."
02:21:46 <MrMobodies> F*** off
02:22:31 <MrMobodies> unless it is online I should be able to do what I want with things in my possession without question.
02:23:43 <MrMobodies> Another thing they put in the operating system that works against the buyer.
02:25:08 <Kuschelpony> weare moving to the way north korea does thins
02:25:10 <Kuschelpony> things
02:26:03 <MrMobodies> "The update description mentions new emojis and minor features — but not the introduction of mandatory ID checks." Deceptive and sounds to me like they had something to gain from it whatever it is.
02:26:58 <MrMobodies> Sour and rotten Apple to those affect by this nonsense.
02:27:09 <MrMobodies> oooh
02:27:18 <MrMobodies> North Korea the dictator
02:28:37 <MrMobodies> Kim Un Jong and his torture camps that puts families there for "association by guilt"
02:28:43 <Kuschelpony> i predict one of the next things happening worldwide will be an propaganda against "Hoarders", socially discrediting people who "cant throw away old devices" (that happen to work fine independly and offline)
02:29:47 <MrMobodies> yes, that'd be me
02:29:55 <Kuschelpony> North Korea, the state where "your" tablet has no local memory, any photo and written note anything is forcibly uploaded to the national cloud and checked by censors, before the file can be viewed there
02:30:39 <Kuschelpony> (and also they count if you have praised the leader as declared by law)
02:30:43 <MrMobodies> "The mass majority don't USE old things anymore. You are wasting powering and your old things do not comply with the epg ratings... and this means we cannot achieve net zero... so we'd FINE you/"
02:31:59 <MrMobodies> I had this RFXCOM radio controlling a bunch of Byron SX sockets, a vending machine and the outside lights. I had to move it as it wasn't always switching the outside lights off...
02:32:07 <MrMobodies> Someone said to me which angered me
02:32:11 <MrMobodies> Ohh you don't need all of that
02:32:50 <MrMobodies> You could purchase this socket from Amazon and use "AN APP" on yer PC! but REQUIRES INTERNET.... F*** OFF is also what I was thunking.
02:33:35 <MrMobodies> actually phone but I think of it, like a posh North London parent downtalking to their kid "on your PC!" in a condescending tone.
02:34:34 <MrMobodies> what I setup don't need internet, a phone or a stupid "app on your PC!" to work apart from LAN or USB connectivity to a laptop I have it connected to.
02:34:49 <MrMobodies> using the Domoticz package
02:37:31 <MrMobodies> I thought the same in 2022, when the solar panel salesman said "you can use an app on yer phone via a "SMART WIFI STICK"..." "Got to stop you there" that I don't want a stupid app and internet that goes half way around the world, I want the monitoring appliance near the appiance I monitoring which is 5m away for me and has to function whatever happens out there.
02:38:47 <Kuschelpony> thatswhy i decided for a Jackery Explorer 250, that one is just charger; battery and inverter without anything online at all
02:39:27 <MrMobodies> Foxess via HomeAssistant: about 1 - 2 second reporting i think, Foxess cloud via smart Wifi stick: 5 minute reporting...
02:40:10 <MrMobodies> I wonder when the same will happen with Android.
21:28:59 <MrMobodies> Hello

21:29:16 <MrMobodies> Isn't this a silly design?
21:29:35 <MrMobodies> Yes it looks neat but that could attract a build up of dust under there.
