Literally all you have to do is have the person who owns the device reset it.

When you delete data, it no longer appears in apps on iPhone, but it isn’t erased from iPhone storage. To permanently remove all of your content and settings from your iPhone, erase (wipe) your iPhone. For example, erase iPhone before you sell it, trade it in, or give it away.

It is literally one step. They have an FAQ page on how to do it lmao.

Like it is basically the equivalent of setting a password in your BIOS (if your motherboard didn't also have a full reset button).

I mean it is theft protection. My iPhone was stolen and I put it into lost mode and eventually got it back (the person who bought it and ended up with it called a phone number that appeared on it). If you could root it you could just steal iPhones and sell them to a fence who could bulk reset a bunch of devices or whatever. As far as I know, it basically means people won't bother stealing them.

Nobody legitimate is reselling used iPhones without resetting them first... because you have to reset them first.

Are you saying you disagree with this?

I used to sneer at the social value of entertainment. Then covid lockdowns hit. I spent a lot of time playing Factorio. When professional sports resumed playing (in empty stadiums, with fake crowd noise on the broadcasts) I was happy to sit on the couch after work and watch baseball.

This sounds like something someone on hackernews would say.

StackOverflow isn't just a crutch. It's an FAQ for programming languages. It was and is always going to be a thing, because there's a lot more simple programming recipes than would ever fit in a programming language or library documentation website.

China and Russia are beyond spineless.

Not every app is social media.

This is all mostly vibes based.

having a phone's primary purpose return to being communication makes it better at that role

Not really. Smartphones have been getting occasional phone improvements for a long time. They haven't gotten worse at being phones.

That means the development of electronic sports has opened up a vast field of career possibilities for game enthusiasts: as event organizers and managers, specialized journalists, nutritionists, consultants in mental preparation, physiotherapists and even lawyers to organize the relationships between all these actors.

However, despite the popularity and immense potential of electronic sports, Canada lacks infrastructure and programs. This is especially obvious within educational institutions, places which nevertheless have many young fans of this booming industry.

This is the two sentences that matter. It means job opportunities and more money.

But the only cool thing about esports is it lets Koreans to get US-rich which would otherwise be very difficult. Western countries trying to compete for the top in it just feels gross.
