There is a difference between “free & open source” and “free because you don’t pay with money”.

The first means it can be peer reviewed by anyone to make sure they aren’t doing anything shady.

It’s not that hard. See the lights on behind you, pull over and lock your phone.

Biometrics are fine, just use lockdown of you get pulled over or are going throgh TSA.

You can still activate the camera/camcoder by double tapping power on a Pixel even in lockdown.

Not open source, but I use the Google TV chromecast in “apps only” mode.

Its very minimal but you still get a single picture of whatever show is being promoted that week. No other intrusive adds have been added {yet}.

Lots of teachers are part of a union. There’s no mention of it in the article that I see, but union workers tend to be a little bit more protected than at will workers.

By pulling it out of his holster instead of the gun.

You sound like all the cowardly cops. If you can’t handle a non lethal situation like this with your tazer: find another job.

Did you read the article?

1. Epic is not trying to get their 3rd party app in apples app store.
2. Epic can’t create a 3rd party app store because Apple revoked their developer license. This means any app epic creates can’t be sideloaded because it will never be signed by apple.
3. Apples new rules require any 3rd party app store to pay apple $0.50 per install (there is no million app install requirement for 3rd party app stores). So apple would still make money off epics app store if they allowed it.

Tech sites have said that Mozilla probably has their native version already done so it’s ready day 1.

But these new rules by apple might put a damper on them actually offering it. Mozilla is a non profit, and apple is going to require a $0.50 tax on every app “for each first annual install per year over a 1 million threshold”.

I just don’t see how how Mozilla could carry that cost considering they are at over 100 million installs on Android alone.

Um no, the FBI used software developed by an Israel based company to hack into it. This is well documented. Isreal has been creating and selling iPhone hacking software to nation states for years. They also sold out to the Saudi’s who used to it to track and kill the American resident Jamal Khashoggi.

Would a way to legally bypass this be an app that can “encrypt” your text before your send it. The government would be able to see all of your messages but it would be scrambled in a way that they couldn’t read it.

Something where both people would install the same text scrambling app and generate the same key to scramble all text (would need to do in person). They would then type all their text into the app and it would scramble it. The user would then copy The Scrambled text and send it over any messaging platform they want. The recipient would need to copy the text and put it back into the scrambling app to descramble it.
