Tonight on CEP!

• Programmer and YouTuber K0 returns to finish our 7000 Download Celebration!
• He explains how Support Scammers and their mules operate and what his group is doing to protect seniors who encounter them.
• Apple's attempt to detect "depression and cognitive impairment"
• What they record about you to make that detection, and why the whole thing is sad.
• The difference between Opt-In versus force-attacks when a new feature comes out.
• Imagine a product that does what you want!
• Once we put out all the fires in the industry, we discuss creating GOOD products that actually respect the user. Someday!
• "Yellow Dots of Mystery" - yet another way printers are spying on you.
• "It's not a bunch of men smoking cigars in a room..." how the cogs in the industry are just doing what they think is right.
• Software tethered to the factory using crazy DRM schemes, vs Donationware, that simply works forever.
