If the settlement is approved, tens of millions of consumers who owned iPhones and other Apple devices from Sept. 17, 2014, through the end of last year could file claims. Each consumer could receive up to $20 per Siri-equipped device covered by the settlement, although the payment could be reduced or increased, depending on the volume of claims. Only 3% to 5% of eligible consumers are expected to file claims, according to estimates in court documents.

Violating your customers' privacy is simply low risk and high reward—essentially a no-brainer.

Btw, let me guess, you posted this in ~security because ~privacy was too expensive. I don't mind, just find it interesting. I would have done the same in your position 👀

Yes. You are exactly right. It's not the first time I avoided those 600 sats, either. I guess I'm a cheapskate.

Who isn’t a cheapskate when it involves hard-to-earn sats? I am not a BTC innovator, so I don’t own even a quarter BTC.

Can someone explain to me what those icons next to your username are? How do i get the horse and gun? 😊

I don't know the exact details, but I do know you need an attached wallet.

41 sats \ 1 reply \ @Skipper 3 Jan

i already have an attached wallet, with NWC and a lightning address.

i know the hat is related to my zaps, but i don't know what the horse and gun mean or how to get them i see a lot of people with it

I think you have to zap a lot for the gun, and post a lot for the horse, but I could be mistaken.

Is there any good reason to throw good sats down the drain? Whoever is running ~privacy is asking everyone to go elsewhere, as long as there is competition. Perhaps the territory owner needs to reflect a bit upon economics.

I am not in the know about that one. @ek, @siggy47 or @k00b would be the ones to answer that one.

Sure you could, but you might not think it's cheap- you can found the territory for 50k sats per month.
