You don’t find the surveillance bootlickers because they are still cowering in their hidey holes and fear bubbles.
The bold are out reclaiming the world, those in caves are extincting themselves... economically, socially and politically. Every day willing isolating themselves further into irrelevance. Which is all pure dark comedy, but also exactly how evolution works.
Agreed! Only problem is that a large contingent here would rather keep that sort of data under wraps (so that covid-19 "magically disappears" faster maybe? I dunno...).
13.5 update worked fine on iPhone and iPad with buttons... none of my devices have facial recognition.
There is little indication that these kind of exposure apps prevent disease spread and may in fact give a false sense of security.
They appear to be the same kind of "security theatre" like TSA etc - but in this case they expose the entire population to surveillance and abuse.
Due to inevitable vulnerabilities in Apple's code (as exemplified by the two Mail CVE's that were fixed in this update that have been present for years), such tracking apps also allow surveillance and tracking by foreign governments. So even if you trust your own - and given the recently revealed shenanigans - why would you? - I certainly don't trust the interests of other governments to infer my movements, political affiliations, business etc based on associations. This allows, say China, NK, Russia, USA, Turkey to put pressure on, say, middle managers, at strategically important companies in other industries that will negatively effect your life and the life of those you may care about.
This is why privacy is important - it is not about you it is about preventing the potential for abuse - blackmail, bribery etc - for those that effect the society in which you live.
You are correct, it would have been great to have this earlier but being able to track local infections is most important as you come out of lockdown not when you assume everyone has it and go into a broad lockdown.
Amazing how many people with no epidemiological training seem to be taking classes online during this lockdown and coming to the wrong conclusions. Lol
My question is - how is this update with Bluetooth, WIFI, other bizarre issues that people experienced with 13.4, 13.4.1?
Anyone? That wasn't my experience with my three (at the time) HomePods. Everything worked as expected.
seems its all moving ahead of NWO...
- chipping with id2020 agenda bill gates...
- enable phones as tracking devices
- mandatory vaccines else you cant travel, go to work or shop
time to stop buying all these expensive toys and invest money in land, own food, own water, own electricity .. become off the grid ...
Bill gates wants to vaccine whole world... his mission is to cut down on population.
Good luck all and think again when you spend 1k on a new phone ... is it really worth it?

I'm having a lot of trouble with scrolling, like in Safari, Settings, etc., on an iPad Pro 10.5. I'm trying to get back to 13.4.1, but my old iTunes thinks the old ipsw file is not compatible. (I also haven't been able to use iTunes to do upgrades for quite a few iOS versions.)
Have to put something else besides exposure notification. How many would update if just that.
How does one know bugs that are Yet to be found?
How about updating to fix bugs? That’s not 0 reason, at least to me.
reclaiming the world.
oh yes. you are most assuredly venturing out in a hunter-gatherer society, fighting to survive against people who think differently from you.
life's real hard isnt it?

yes sweetiepie. that's exactly what's happening
What we really need is a FaceID shortcut in Control Center, so we can quickly access that setting to turn it off while we're at the grocery store, and then turn it back on when we leave.
They'll fixed that in the final update because fixing bugs (vs adding features that introduce even more new bugs) is a last priority for Apple :/

The US is also finally testing now, so a lot of those infections aren't necessarily new, and until we have decent antibody testing, we don't know how many folks have already had it.

Many people don't love the idea of location sharing and data being shared as a set to default. Sharing data with google is a bit dubious. privacy matters.
Has anyone tried to connect a FaceTime call to an older device running 9.3.5? Apple broke this on the first iOS13.4 update and fixed it weeks later in iOS13.4.1. Really hesitant to upgrade to 13.5 after that last experience, since CO-VID19 has meant needing to maintain older devices to stay in contact with elderly relatives.
If these people would actually know what they complain about, they knew that
a) location isn't shared at all (it's not even recorded),
b) sharing is off by default and
c) even when you enable it, neither Apple nor Google nor any other party will get this data. It's processed on device.
You'll be up 24/7. They are all over and multiplying.
I caved and updated. Well, the one problem I have is - my XS Max seemed to stop charging wirelessly. I've used 2 different chargers for almost 2 years with no problem, now it just simply won't work. C'mon...seriously???
Other than that pretty big annoying bug on my end, no other issues (BT is ok, AirPods work fine...no disconnects. Scrolling is fine on both phone and iPad Pro) I have yet to see how battery life is on this.
