I’m sorry but this is false. There is a rather annoying bug present in 14.2 where sometimes when I get texts, it does not notify me. It’s actually a huge pain in the ass but I’m staying here for potential jailbreak.
My point was if they pulled anything with the EBS, they could use the excuse of an update glitch to explain it. Just like everyone uses the “my account was hacked” or “a rogue employee posted that” excuses.
The weird thing is, I have ALWAYS set my updates to be manual, not automatic. When I checked my settings tonight, it was set to automatic. Perhaps that was in the prior update and I did not notice? Anyway, I am glad for the heads up or I would have assumed it was still set to manual.
I am bad to detect Sarcasm, but at this point I don't think they care. Just in case you didn't know, you have a Covid19 tracker in your phone already (both) ? and Android.
They snuck the Covid tracker into the iOS last summer I think...? I turned off my automatic updates as soon as I got wind of it. I think if your iOS is still 13-something you’re ok. I hope.
If your bluetooth is turned on it will ping other peoples phones when you are out in public. Someone "tests positive" for covid they will know who that person came in contact with because of the bluetooth pings, they can contact you and tell you to quarantine.
I think that is just a feed, not sure he has taken ownership of his account yet. He has moved to Parler.
Parler have said they will be taken down by Amazon shortly. Ironically Gab boast that they are safe because they have their own servers but they aren't loading for the last few hours everything just hangs. Maybe instead of focusing on Gab Tv and a Gab phone they should sort the servers out. :(
Agreed, those servers are boned right now. It's a shame too because it's a great interface. I can't even trust it to actually follow accounts when I click follow.
I've never had a problem with follows but it is hit and miss when I edit something (always make typos or mangle a sentence) whther it 'takes'. Curiously, the same thing happens here. Sometimes an edit will work but other times it seemingly hasn't and I have to keep doing it so it will 'stick'.
I never had any problemns with Gab until the last couple of days when it started getting slower and slower to load any feeds. If it's a mass influx of new users then they really need to have been prepared for this as it seems the servers can't cope.
Parler has been loading fine at the moment, but as it will be taken offline at midnight Gabs the only alternative and it's not gonna cope. Dammit, they really should have got their shit together!
EDIT: And if Trump finally does go to Gab, where his feed already has 809,000 followers he likely won't come back if it keeps refusing to load. :(
Yes not meaning to suggest it as your only source of information.. just that it will probably work for ebs. I don't know about internet radio feeds, maybe?
Grapheneos. Linesgeos (no gapps) or soon your own. Can do you de-apple and iphone??? Nope. I can de-google an android. Or install various linux distributions.
Probably. Which is probably why the FCC put out a memo the other day reminding people of their obligation to allow the broadcasts and also to make sure messages are handicapped capable or whatever.
Saying that’s the only way he can communicate is not true. We form a very strong network of people, he tells 5 people to post a signed letter or video and they do it and within seconds we have it saved to multiple places to post on alternative sites like this.
The false information running amuck is ridiculous (and given the circumstances understandable), This one I am skeptical of, but this is a temporary precaution to take that costs you nothing but a minute of your time.
I don't really believe it but I have turned off the update on my Droid and my PC just in case.
Did you read the title? I said even when I don't way to confirm we MUST be alert. Apple just removed Parler from their platform and will do it from every device. At this point they will do ANYTHING to block communicating and we cannot sit hear to wait that they will not do anything.
The amount of alarms and sirens lead me to believe. This is true.
LOL
top kek :)
Precisely why it's stickied
What if the update is to ensure it works? I have no clue either way to be honest. I'm not normally this paranoid.
Also, there has to be at least one Apple employee who is in the know that could verify this.
Can confirm there’s a pending update to iOS 14.3 that just hit tonight.
any information on EBS? OR.......EAM?
Just this:
This release also addresses the following issues: Some MMS messages may not be received Some Messages notifications may not be received
Makes me wonder if EBS not working would become an “update glitch”
I’m sorry but this is false. There is a rather annoying bug present in 14.2 where sometimes when I get texts, it does not notify me. It’s actually a huge pain in the ass but I’m staying here for potential jailbreak.
No, I agree that happens to me too sometimes.
My point was if they pulled anything with the EBS, they could use the excuse of an update glitch to explain it. Just like everyone uses the “my account was hacked” or “a rogue employee posted that” excuses.
God bless you Pede
There was a television test couple of days ago.
Wait it says im on 14.3, does that mean mine updated?
Unfortunately, maybe?
If you look under “About” in your settings, you’ll see “Software version”. That should be 14.2 or below. If that says 14.3 you got the update.
It says 14.3 (18c66) but I looked up the version and it said it was released Dec 14, 2020
Saw that too, but I only got alerts for it today. Sounds like several others were in the same boat too.
Not sure if it was finished then and only pushed tiday?
Apple auto-updates by default when you plug it in and go to sleep. The way to correct it is to disabling the option manually.
Or don’t have WiFi like me and apple can’t push shit
The weird thing is, I have ALWAYS set my updates to be manual, not automatic. When I checked my settings tonight, it was set to automatic. Perhaps that was in the prior update and I did not notice? Anyway, I am glad for the heads up or I would have assumed it was still set to manual.
LOL I have 2 updates that I still haven't downloaded.
I still have 13.4.1 lol.
it would be super illegal for them to do that
I am bad to detect Sarcasm, but at this point I don't think they care. Just in case you didn't know, you have a Covid19 tracker in your phone already (both) ? and Android.

I did as well. Will jailbreak before I update - or get a Linux phone.
I hope Purism comes through with theirs.
Lol still have my Maemo Nokia as a burner standing by
I did the same. I'm still running 13.4.1. When I heard about the Covid tracking I stopped auto updates immediately.
If your bluetooth is turned on it will ping other peoples phones when you are out in public. Someone "tests positive" for covid they will know who that person came in contact with because of the bluetooth pings, they can contact you and tell you to quarantine.
Just like literally every thing else they’ve done in the last few days. They’ll just say “oops!”
As if they're not already doing super illegal things.
At this point, they don't care ....
Wtf they don't stop
They are loosing their ahit. This is contingency measures, because they know we know.
it doesn't matter, the message will get out regardless, these are last ditch efforts, UTILISING ALL PLAYBOOKS, but none of it will save them :')
I get you 100%, but we cannot lie back and be complesant not this time. Remember that big tech and China has people that can help the break thru.
Mine tried to get me to update multiple times within an hour
Trump is on Gab.com Gab.com/realdonaldtrump https://twitter.com/getongab/status/1348096322771980293?s=20

Maybe MySpace will take everyone in!
Ebs should still work on an fm radio though right? Maybe it's time to have a lo tech backup plan.
I listen on IHeart app and tune into Talk 1200 Boston's Conservative Talk. Dunno if IHeart would cut out though. Probably.
Yes not meaning to suggest it as your only source of information.. just that it will probably work for ebs. I don't know about internet radio feeds, maybe?
My automatic updates are turned off but it’s still updating. I can’t stop it.
auto updates are off on my android and it's since been removed from my phone
Why would anyone have an iPhone.
Grapheneos. Linesgeos (no gapps) or soon your own. Can do you de-apple and iphone??? Nope. I can de-google an android. Or install various linux distributions.
Whew just deleted my update before it happened.
This is fear mongering and spreading panic -- CALM DOWN. What is the source of this claim?
Wouldn't that be breaking some Federal FCC law?
So is stealing an election and performing a coup. Criminals don’t care about laws.
Probably. Which is probably why the FCC put out a memo the other day reminding people of their obligation to allow the broadcasts and also to make sure messages are handicapped capable or whatever.
Deep state reactions like this add credibility to all of the conspiracy theories lol
Mine updated automatically election nite.
Must have updated to 14.2 cuz I’m showing I need to update to 14.3. But disabled feature thx to u guys!
That will be a great idea ?
I saw it reported that the Trump campaign was cut off from using their email list, but what about the sms texting?
I have had a update notice pending for several days now... they release them over time so everyone isn't getting them at the same time.
I don't use apple products, I prefer google spying on me instead.
Auto updates turned off for me. Thanks
how do I do this?
DO NOT INSTALL ios 14.4
Negative but apple has been planning to release 14.4 sometime this month
Saying that’s the only way he can communicate is not true. We form a very strong network of people, he tells 5 people to post a signed letter or video and they do it and within seconds we have it saved to multiple places to post on alternative sites like this.
This came to late for me, is there any way to remove update to previous version?
reminder: de google your phone if you can
The false information running amuck is ridiculous (and given the circumstances understandable), This one I am skeptical of, but this is a temporary precaution to take that costs you nothing but a minute of your time.
I don't really believe it but I have turned off the update on my Droid and my PC just in case.
I'll turn em back on in a couple of weeks.
If this is true can’t the FCC rape Apples corpse out of existence?
Been ignoring the system update on my phone for 3 years now
Where is the source for this?
If you have an iPhone go to notifications then scroll to bottom and turn it on
Lmfao This is not true
Did you read the title? I said even when I don't way to confirm we MUST be alert. Apple just removed Parler from their platform and will do it from every device. At this point they will do ANYTHING to block communicating and we cannot sit hear to wait that they will not do anything.
