That’s true. I’m sure most people turn it off if they notice the location indicator in the corner is persistent, or when iOS notifies them that an app is using their location in the background for an extended period.
iOS has fine permission controls. Every API needs to be user authenticated before becoming available to an app, first or third-party. You can enable or revoke any API permission in settings under privacy.
It’s a private feature in the Weather app on iPhone.
To understand and improve the Weather app, Apple collects limited information about the first time you launch the app in a day. This information is not linked to your identity. If you allow Weather to access your location, your location will be sent to Apple to provide relevant weather forecasts.
It’s already banned in Afghanistan, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Taiwan, Denmark, European Union, France, India, Indonesia, Netherlands, Nepal, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Somalia, and United Kingdom.

iPhone has had a barometer since 2014.
This is actually a really great feature. Dark Sky first started using crowdsourced barometric pressure readings to provide rain warnings. It provided a 10-minute warning for rain that was incredibly accurate. Living in NY, I got a 10-minute notification because someone 10-minutes southwest of me just got rained on.
Apple bought Dark Sky a couple years ago, and integrated the feature into the Weather app. The data is anonymized (hashed, encrypted, and relayed), so now it’s completely private.
It uses more power by leaving location services and barometric readings on persistently, but you can turn it on and off when you need it. It’s great for cyclists, runners, and hikers.
Try a strap wrench.
They were really clever with inside jokes in Arrested Development.
The family eats mustard and Parmesan as a gag meant to refer to his role as Colonel Mustard.
Gene Parmesan also buys a knife from a shop next to a kids play place with a ball pit called “My Little Ballroom.”
These are all very valid points of comparison. It’s a shame they weren’t clearly conveyed by either of them during the debate.
Trump wants Israel to finish what they started and expand into Palestinian territory.
He told Orbán that he intends to pull support from Ukraine if he becomes President again.
He will turn his back on any NATO allies that don’t pay enough.
He’s weak on regulating human rights violations in Chinese trade, and considers Taiwan our primary economic rival.
And I don’t think I need any links to substantiate his ongoing love affair with Putin and Kim.
State constitutional enshrinement is already on the November ballot for Florida, Maryland, South Dakota, Colorado, and now Nevada.
Montana and Missouri aren’t far behind with submitted signatures.
Nebraska, Arkansas, and Arizona are still gathering signatures.
Pennsylvania is awaiting legislative approval.
Eeeehhh you got a men’s room in there?
They have plenty of aid on land. The obstacle is land delivery to Gaza due to Israeli attacks, not weather damage to the pier.
The pier has been used to get more than 19.4 million pounds, or 8.6 million kilograms, of food into Gaza but has faced multiple setbacks.
She noted that the secure area onshore is “pretty close to full,” but that the intention is still to get aid into Gaza by all means necessary. She said the U.S. is having discussions with the aid agencies about the distribution of the food.
The big challenge has been that humanitarian convoys have stopped carrying the aid from the pier’s storage area further into Gaza, to get it into civilian hands, because they have come under attack.
That’s true. They’re like meteorologists in that respect. I wish I had the same security of employment in the event of complete failure to meet expectations.
I wonder why. Maybe it has something to do with Republicans in Congress overtly supporting Russia or covertly supporting China? “Ukraine is a non-NATO failed state. We would pull out our support.” “The review board restricting Chinese investments is governmental overreach.”
They’ve already succumbed to the disinformation and are unknowingly supporting the agenda.
Seems that way. Empowering local governments to determine legality will inevitably allow NIMBY to criminalize homelessness across the nation, with each city pointing fingers as the next.
Absolutely. It seems condemning cowardice overshadowed protecting the police in this case.
Again, I agree, but my comment was about automobiles. You have the habit of misrepresenting my point.

As for other consumer goods, Biden has expanded Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 to include more imports.

Tariffs aren’t great solutions, but the only alternative would be outright banning. The latter would have a sudden and financially profound impact on American consumers.
That was true of those brands. They’ve since been pulling out of China, leaving abandoned factories that are now being used by the Chinese market. There are still plenty of other ethical options for automobiles.
Many nations are cracking down on imports related to Uyghur labor.
In December 2021, Congress passed, and President Biden signed the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) – the strongest tool the United States or any other country has forged in the fight against the atrocities of forced labor.

I agree. That’s also terrible. They work mostly in farming. If you can avoid these food brands, I suggest you do so.
There are plenty of automobiles manufactured in the US, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Germany, and the UK that don’t use forced labor. I also recommend supporting those factories instead of China.
Also, your second link about Chinese retirement has nothing to do with Uyghur slave labor.
Cancer sticks here. I also quit over ten years ago. I’m grateful I haven’t experienced any long-term repercussions.
I highly recommend these documentaries on social media psychographics, and their influence on the 2016 US election and the Brexit vote if you haven’t seen them. They’re both very accessible, and the information is coming directly from the experts who created this software and have since left the field.

I do. That’s why I specified that same feature is private in the Weather app.
