I've read a lot online about how "Y2K was overblown". As an engineer who worked like crazy in 1999 to correct our systems this drives me crazy.

Today I read about games going offline, watches getting frozen and airline tickets showing the wrong date.

Because of a leap year. Which happens every FOUR years (give or take).

Yeah Y2K was a one time thing. (Well at least until year 10000)

Isn't 2038 going to be fun.

🚨PSA: iOS 17 turns these sensitive location options back on. If you have disabled significant locations as well as adding your location information to your iPhone analytics before upgrading to iOS 17, #iOS17 will turn the options on as shown in the screenshot.

While significant locations remain local on your #iPhone, they can be abused as they record detailed information about the locations you visit frequently. iPhone analytics, on the other hand, are shared with #Apple. Having your location information included in these analytics reports might have privacy implications, even if the reports don't identify you.

Security experts have always advised to turn these two options off.

Go the Settings app: Privacy & Security ➡️ Location Services ➡️ Scroll down to System Services ➡️ Find these two options and turn them off:

👉 Significant Locations
👉 iPhone Analytics

A re-post or boost would be appreciated to spread the word🙏
You're welcome!
