are you feeling charged up for another week
i love monday yeah well you might not be
if you picked up a new iphone 10s as quite a few people are reporting that
apple's new flagship is having issues charging its battery users have taken to
apple's forums to vent about their problems because that is how we handle
things in the internet age you don't get off your couch and drive to an apple
store and complain to the representative you go on that forum i'm an adult to to
vent anyway problems range from the phone only charging after the screen has
woken up to charging abruptly stopping well before the battery reaches a
hundred percent in some cases the phones won't even charge at all the story has
been picked up by a number of outlets including the youtube channel unbox
therapy and though it was quite a bit later youtube
channel TechLinked apple has yet to comment on this
situation though wireless charging still seems to work properly so this could
just be another like headphone jack thing you know like who really uses the
wires anyway but but we're not we don't have the courage this time to remove the
jack so we'll just quietly make it stop working
facebook's problems seem to be far from over as on the heels of a recent report
that 50 million users may have had their accounts compromised due to a security
flaw they could be in very hot water with the european union over that breach
now that the gdpr is in full force although facebook has announced that it
has already fixed the vulnerability and logged out over 9 million users to
reset their access tokens 90 million that is a lot of users 90 million the
damage has been done as far as european regulators are concerned and facebook is
now staring down the barrel of a 1.63
billion how do you point a handgun at yourself that's tough
a 1.63 billion us dollar fine that's
what this is which would be over 10
of the social media giant's net income from last year that's right it would be
basically less than the taxes they don't pay now it's actually unclear as to
whether this fine will actually be imposed as regulators in ireland home of
facebook's international headquarters are awaiting more information on the
breach so until that arrives they'll just have to console themselves with the
old bottle of bourbon it's your best friend it warms the heart it does i can
oh i can't do an iron another battle is heating up between
california and washington tc this time centered around net neutrality
california recently passed a strong net neutrality bill that's supposed to
provide consumer protections similar to those repealed by the fcc earlier this
year namely a ban on blocking throttling and so-called fast lanes and even though
that's been signed into law by california's governor the federal
department of justice federal department of justice is that what they're called
dang that's a cool name they're already suing the state with fcc chairman ajit
pai calling the state law i'm a jerk and it's illegal no he didn't
say the first part so the doj's position is that california's net neutrality law
places an undue burden on the federal government's new approach to
deregulating the internet and that the state is attempting to regulate
interstate commerce a power of the u.s constitution gives to the federal
government only so a lengthy court battle is sure to follow if only there
were some kind of fast lane for resolving these kinds of kurfuffles
right now it's time for fast
