All of my non-whitelisted email goes into the trash bin. I do peruse it, but mostly for a different use case. If I get subjects that say “critical alert” (etc), and it seems legitimate, then I just go to that service and see if something is actually going on. So basically everything in that box is suspect at best. Next, I tend to leave these emails unproved since there are so many. This way they auto-delete with no extra effort. Ex, I have an app that I see alerts in the app when I want to (on my timeline), but it also sends me emails. No way I can stop that behavior, and I can’t really stop using the app, so I just let them auto-purge without building any special rules.

Now, if I see an email in there, and it correlates with an actual site/app notification, then I have the option to whitelist the source. I really don’t find myself doing that very often.

It’s a pretty low-effort way to distinguish known sources, and to auto purge stuff I don’t want to strictly block.

If you’re not in my whitelist, you don’t get to my inbox.

Simple.

It’s voluntary (for now). Not hard for a phone app to see you’re using the device just before the accelerometer detects a crash.

I think it’s BS, and the primary reason I don’t play in the PGA.

What’s being heard is […] complaints tying up agents.

So it’s being heard. Great, we agree.

Right. Not heard. That’s why Sony put out this policy, because they can’t hear the complaints.

I’d say the complaints are working as intended.

Btw, I don’t have any sony products, so I can’t “stop” giving them money. But the idea that “stopping” further purchases is adequate remuneration for property theft is laughable.

Well I’m not calling them. But obviously people are being heard. Hence this policy, article, and post.

If that’s the only way to voice one’s opinion and be heard.

Any way, I didn’t see a lot of “screaming” in the policy. It says if you bother us too much, we’ll stop listening.

Which is the actual concern. No one here is saying you should be screaming at people.

Steam machine! $1050

Checkmate.

I actual kinda want one…

I made a lot of money in Apple stock over this event. I bought in after the verbal assault, and sold after the gifting.

So it definitely worked.

But no, regulations are bad right? Corporations will police themselves because bad actions will become unprofitable I thought.

Ohh my head hurts now.

Well, I guess it’s technically installed software… but the scope is significantly less than what’s implied from the headline. My immediate reaction was, “how?”

This is basically standard browser fingerprinting, hence why it’s sold for surveillance activities. Linked in is big brother.
