  1. They don't have authority and jurisdiction to just "arrest" (aka kidnap in this case) people from other countries.

    If they actually want to arrest someone, the local authorities need to do it, and they would agree only if the request is valid based on their international agreements, their asylum laws, etc.

  2. Lightweight = NSA-crackable, right?
  3. The most frustrating thing about Waze is that it doesn't have offline maps. I get that the main selling point is live traffic data, but that's not necessarily an either/or with offline maps.
  4. > Telegram disguises itself as encrypted chat app, when it is actually just a regular centralized plaintext messenger that has an encryption feature that nobody uses.

    Best description of Telegram that I've seen so far.

    I do trust Signal to keep the phone numbers safe with their methodology for doing that, but probably wouldn't anyone else.

  5. Wait before they start complaining about "car piracy" and how they can't afford to stay in business unless they do all of this stuff and show you ads on your windshield while driving.

    I mean you already here such arguments from smart TV makers and their fans as well as in other industries.

    The real truth is all of this stuff would be fixed if a new standard and baseline was set for them so none of them have to do any of this stuff to survive. They'll find other ways to compete.
