    Business, Published on 19/07/2022

    Published on 30/03/2022

    » When Apple announced in June 2020 that they were changing their privacy settings, few were aware of the full implications.

    Beware of TikTok snooping on your phone's data

    Life, James Hein, Published on 02/03/2022

The app also has many security vulnerabilities allowing hackers to take over your phone. This is in addition to the expansion of your digital footprint across the planet.

    Tesla Pi gets my motor running

    Life, James Hein, Published on 19/01/2022

    » I admit it, I'm getting excited about the Tesla Pi phone due out this year. The rumours have been flying fast and furious but there are some seemingly solid predictions.

There is apparently some bad blood between Elon and Apple so that last one is a deliberate choice. Like the next Samsung range, it may have an under the screen front facing camera. There'll be lots of memory and a bunch of Tesla-like features with apparently a solar charger built into the back so you can always recharge during the day. I'm due for a new phone this year so I'll be holding off on the new Samsung and waiting to see what comes out.
