    https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/04/google-agrees-to-delete-private-browsing-data-to-settle-incognito-mode-lawsuit/ They say they will. They won't. But many will believe. Track record. History. Greed.

    More great 'actors' who don't act appropriately.

    https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/02/avast-ordered-to-stop-selling-browsing-data-from-its-browsing-privacy-apps/ This is why I don't pay for 'protection' from the online mafia.

    Yeah, 'apps'. So secure. Because they said so.

    https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/11/nothings-imessage-app-was-a-security-catastrophe-taken-down-in-24-hours/ The paradox is that this app is able to hack Apple's iMessage servers and be unhackable. Huh.

    iPhone offer privacy? No, never.

    https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/10/iphone-privacy-feature-hiding-wi-fi-macs-has-failed-to-work-for-3-years/ More lies from big manufacturers. Yawn.

    An upgradable Router/NAS/PC all in one? Yes.

    https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-powered-mini-pc-nas-25gbe-router-aio-retails-for-dollar269 Depending on the firmware/OS, this is what I've been asking for, for the last decade. Time will tell if it is anything worthwhile looking at.

    And here's the problem with corporations that are 'world-wide' (even if they're a small percentage of world users).

    https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/10/report-apple-cancels-the-problem-with-jon-stewart-over-china-ai-topics/ Their reach isn't just the hardware/software tech they provide. They are also increasingly controlling the narrative. This is why 'news' (by mainstream media) is ignored by me. I...

    Some good news too. Hackers get hacked/taken down.

    https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/10/two-ransomware-gangs-knocked-out-of-commission-in-a-single-week/ And all the knowledge and online 'protection' they could get around (for their attacks) was useless to them too when it was targeted at them.
