Just bought one for my daughter, but I agree.

So many things annoy me about Apple and their monopoly of things and how they hold you prisoner to their systems and their way of doing things only.

Why on earth would you want the option to have a replacement battery for your phone? Why would you want an SD card or a USB port on your iPad?

What on earth would be the point of their pricing their products a little bit cheaper, when they can be £200 dearer than everything else?

Everything else seems to be part of a universal system apart from Apple.

Surely you just buy a different brand that does the same thing? There is no prisoner, just buy an Android one that's a better spec for less money.

If only. She needs to use Garage Band and it's Apple only.

Wish it was that easy.

It's mostly an overreaction anyway. Any self respecting organisation should be doing what it asks for already!

Apparently you don't even need to send out these oodles of emails asking you to confirm you want to be signed up to mailing lists. As long as you've done it ethically and honourably to begin with, there's no problem!

NorthernWisdom · May 22, 2018

That being said, must paste in the GDPR stuff into my privacy policy tomorrow

It’s all bollocks mate. People are going mental for no reason. I’m in charge of compliance at work and the amount of myths running around is ridiculous.

There’s loads of other options beyond informed consent including an existing business relationship and legitimate interest. Say I’ve agreed to get CCFC news from Nick, he can send me special offers of half and half scarves but not deals for lawnmowers for example.

Even the fact that someone has opened one of your emails can count as proof of interest.

Tried explaining this to my daughter’s dance school last night but I dont think it went in so I signed the form anyway.

People are going belt and braces with the scares from so called experts saying it was another PPI level claim. If you have decent DP practices you have nowt to worry about

The last line made me chuckle for some reason

Yeah, I did the training at work, couldn't work out what was different from current DPA requirements.

ah get you, its funny when its a joke because it puts the accent in there. It usually gets missed when its in plain English.

Yeah with jokes I get why, just don't when people do it for normal stuff. Ban them.

Had a full course about it today, load of legal jargon and nothing relevant to me whatsoever. Why I had to be aware of this when at no point I've had to cite the existing DPA is anyone's guess. Still, free sandwiches so not all bad

use of the term 'annual leave' <snip>
And what is 'annual leave' meant to mean anyway? Why not just say 'holiday' or 'leave'. What makes it 'annual'? What makes you think I am concerned about your contract of employment and its terms?

"Annual Leave" is an American term isn't it?. They also have "Sick Leave" and "Bereavement Leave" and other kinds.
"Holiday" has a different meaning there. They use "Vacation" for what we call "Holiday".

Isn't it annual leave because you get a certain amount of days per year?

Yes. I've got nothing gainst the term annual leave - it might be a useful term internally within a company to describe why someone is away from work - I just don't like it when someone from a different organisation tells you that they are on 'annual leave'.

ajsccfc · May 24, 2018

Ah ok, with you there.

The friggin Telegraph website, each time you open a link you either have to put up with a advert or answer a question!! So irritating!

I also think it should be selective of what article it is, the other day I was trying to read about the lad who went missing from school (has now been found) but to see the information about it I had to watch a video for 6 seconds and nearly crash from ad overload. If it's info like that, at least disable it so it can be seen easily and quickly.
