The new Siri lawsuit alleges that Apple didnt inform people they were regularly being recorded without consent.
Over Christmas I was in a conversation about the new weed dispensaries in Bowling Green, Ohio.
Or a smokable weed-ish product.
I’m still getting the ad today.
Pretty insane deal really.
There was a time I was spending $20 for a gram of “chronic”.
And I probably waited an hour in a public parking lot for it.
And it was probably 0.8 at best.
We were risking arrest just to get ripped off.
$40 for 14 g’s legally delivered to your doorstep is almost too good to be true.
But I guess we’ll never know.
I won’t give them the satisfaction of clicking to find out.
Seems a little crazy that we’re just now getting around to this lawsuit.
And I didn’t bang out it in my phone anywhere!"
But I don’t even bother bringing it up it anymore.
Everybody knows our phones listen to everything we say.
For the most part people just quit caring.
Personally I find it more convenient than anything.
The settlement itself seems like more of a fuck you from Apple than anything.
Apple has over $60 billion in cash on hand alone.
Taking $95 million away from them is almost doing them a favor.
I certainly can’t see myself going through the necessary steps to opt into this class-action lawsuit.
Perhaps a set of fingerprints as well.
Which again, they’ve probably already collected from us through our touch screen phones.
Either do a lottery, make it first come first serve, or hold some sort of competition.
If I were Apple I would text everyone with an iPhone a link that takes them to Flappy Bird.
The people who put up the 95,000 best Flappy Bird scores in their first attempt win $1,000.
I’ll take a chance at $1,000 over a guaranteed $20 any day.
Despite agreeing to the settlement, Apple still hasn’t admitted to spying on us.
This whole thing is very stupid.
This small amount of money isn’t going to affect Apple.
It’s not going to make people any more or less annoyed by them listening to everything we say.
The only people affected by this in any way whatsoever are the lawyers getting paid for their time.
Keep up the work.
