I don’t disagree with you, nor am I trying to blame people who didn’t know. I didn’t know myself either 20 years ago. I’m just stating a fact and hope people can learn these, and if they still choose one thing over the other, don’t come and cry.
let’s say you use weeds and weeds is legal where you are, but it’s illegal to drive after using weeds.
Now you’re arrested for DUI. Next day you make to the headline: “Man arrested for using weeds”. Is it the fact? Yes. Do you think it’s all the necessary facts?
Your opinion is based on the assumption that everyone should be allowed to use VPN to do anything. I may agree with you, but it doesn’t change how bad the article is.
If you say their law sucks, their LE agency sucks, they freely interpret their laws in prosecution, etc. , I completely agree with you. But if you’re trying to say using vpn to browse internet in China can risk a big fine, which is what the title of the article is saying, I don’t think it’s accurate. News agency should state the facts, not their ill formed opinions.
Intentionally misleading by summarizing partial facts is simply evil. Not sure if anyone may be satisfied with this approach, but even if some do, I’m willing to bet they will become unsatisfied if missing part of the facts is actually what they care about.
The 1m was confiscated because it was ‘illegal income’, not because he used VPN. Yes, it’s still shitty that using VPN to access GitHub makes his income illegal, and yes Chinese government just sucks. But it’s amused that those news agencies intentionally use misleading titles. They are no better than the Chinese government.
Agree. But practically they may claim using such data to improve their systems. This is a valid LI justification. But still it provides no benefits to users to whom those data are collected from, while at the same time increases their risks (such as mishandling of their data - which is common since it’s very difficult to handle data 100% correctly).
Honestly I'm not sure if I fully understand their points:
"Entire message data is not always passed..." - so sometimes it works, while sometimes doesn't? At a glance MailKit seems to have the necessary hooks (MEMessageSecurityHandler) though i have not used it myself so can't say if it works as expected or not.
When they say they'll release a version with 14.1 (or 14.0.1), do they have confirmation from Apple that the said blockers will be resolved in that release? If they need more time to implement this it's fair, but the wording of the 'key points' sounds like there are blockers out of their control, then how could they commit a release date without Apple's commitment?
The explanation of auto-renew says: "On expiration, new port forwardings will be created. The source port will be chosen randomly.". How will that work with bt client?
people often assume if they run their own instances it will be more secure. from one perspective it's true: everything is in your own hands; from the other perspective, they are rarely capable of doing it correctly.
And they still want your phone number.
