T-Mobile US 打算要賣使用者的瀏覽記錄了

全美第二大的 T-Mobile US 打算要賣使用者的瀏覽記錄了,除非你登入進去選擇退出:「T-Mobile to Step Up Ad Targeting of Cellphone Customers」,Hacker News 上的討論則可以看「T-Mobile to share customers' data with advertisers unless they opt out (thehill.com)」這邊。

The No. 2 U.S. carrier by subscribers said in a recent privacy-policy update that unless they opt out it will share customers’ web and mobile-app data with advertisers starting April 26.

這次的改變包括了 2020 年併購 Sprint 的使用者:

T-Mobile’s new policy will also cover Sprint customers acquired through the carriers’ 2020 merger. Sprint had previously shared similar data only from customers who opted into its third-party ad program.

所以連在美國都有 DNS over HTTPS (或是 DNS over TLS) 與 ESNI 需求了...

所以蘋果開始放鬆 iPhone 的第三方電池保固問題了?

MacRumors 上看到的,先前只要透過第三方更換電池,蘋果就會拒絕後續所有保固,現在內部文件改成不保固電池的部分,其他的元件還是會提供保固:「Apple Says iPhones With Third-Party Batteries Now Eligible for Repairs」。

iPhones with aftermarket batteries installed by third-party repair shops are now eligible for service at Genius Bars and Apple Authorized Service Providers, according to an internal Apple document obtained by MacRumors from three reliable sources.

不確定是不是全球性的,但至少法國已經是了?

突然想到『FTC 警告 Nintendo 與 Sony「拆封喪失保固」違反聯邦法』這篇,雖然兩者討論的主題不太一樣...

Gmail 支援第三方軟體掛入了...

以往都是第三方廠商要透過 browser extension 硬掛進去 (當 Gmail 改版的時候又要修),現在 Gmail 直接提供界面讓他們掛進來了:「Do more from your inbox with Gmail Add-ons」。

包括 Gmail 以及 G Suite 都能用 (應該會需要管理員掛進來?):

Knock out action items the minute they hit your inbox. G Suite and Gmail users can check out the G Suite Marketplace to find and install Gmail Add-ons.

另外也可以自己開發掛入:

If you're a developer, you can also easily create add-ons for your app or your organization—write your add-on code once and it will run natively in Gmail on web and Android right away. Learn more.
