Planned obsolescence can undermine privacy - and our pocketbook. For example, Apple computers, that get phased out of new software updates, may force us to make unnecessary choices.
This could force us to purchase new computers (when they are still viable) and to use hardware and software that may be outside our needs.
Try to install Linux before you opt for a new device. POP_OS performs wonderfully on outdated iMacs. Many distros can take a slow Windows PC and give it new life.

(And don't get me started on your other units of weights, volumes and distances. Bloody hell.)
Boost if I'm right.
iOS 14 will give users the ability to give apps their approximate location, w/out revealing where they are, reports @KateOflaherty. π
