      Apple's next big product looks to be a VR headset. Or smartglasses. Or both. Here's what to expect, and our guesses as to what else might happen.

    I'm hearing that #Google and #Apple are removing the apps for the #Parler #socnet from the #Android PlayStore and the #iOS AppStore.

    I'd argue that given their duopoly on mobile operating systems, the power to arbitrarily kick someone out is scary (regardless of how deserving Parler might be; I'm not even sure I've seen a screenshot of the site). I'd argue that this is evidence that the mobile OS and app store groups of both companies need to be split up, so that competition can come ... including strong competition for mobile app stores on each platform.

    Again, Parler may deserve it, especially if their users used the socnet to organize their insurrection attempt. (Though I suspect many of them probably used odious #corpocentric sites like #Twitter or #Facebook, which are not being punished.)

    Of course,it has other consequences, and honestly, if my phone was stolen, I'd want it to get a secure wipe. Search for "Brother Orange" in #DDG or #Google, and you'll see why.

    #Android isn't the only one with such a misfeature. In organizations with #Apple #iOS devices, re-use after an employee leaves can be painful. Sometimes, after days or weeks of delay, Apple will inlock the devices for re-use, but sometimes, the org must buy a new phone.

    @mangeurdenuage @geniusmusing I can remember using a #TRS-80 with 16K of RAM, Level II BASIC, and an attached expansion interface at school. Of course, a cassette tape recorder to save our programs. There was also a printer. I wanted one like it, but couldn't afford it.

    The version with 4K of RAM, Level I BASIC, and no accessories (tape recorder, expansion interface, printer) was originally $499. I think the price dropped after #Radio_Shack and #Apple had established that there was a market for home microcomputers, but I wasn't even able to buy a Commodore 64 a few years later when they were as low as $99.

    Remote profile options...

    It turns out that the reason free, open source messengers suck on iOS is that #Apple force-closes background applications unless you pay them for the privilege - which is why proprietary applications like WhatsApp, Discord and Facebook Messenger work just fine.

    This means small and free actors are banned from participating.

During its quarterly earnings call last month, Facebook pointed out that the new tracking setting could impact its advertising revenue, and a new report from The Information today goes into more detail.
