McDonald’s customers in Chattanooga will now have more options to enjoy menu items from the comfort of their homes or offices.
McDelivery with DoorDash, the nation’s largest on-demand destination for door-to-door delivery, is now expanding to thousands of McDonald’s restaurants across the country. McDelivery will now be available in more than 10,000 restaurants across all 50 states.
“Since McDonald’s launched McDelivery in the U.S. in 2017, we have seen customers respond well to the convenience, and we can’t wait for our customers in Chattanooga to also have the choice to use DoorDash,” said Ted Lyon, local McDonald’s owner-operator.
Customers will be able to place their McDonald’s orders through the DoorDash mobile app or on www.DoorDash.com. McDonald’s is also a part of DashPass, DoorDash’s nationwide subscription program.
FBI raids home of UAW heads
DETROIT – FBI and IRS agents raided the home of UAW President Gary Jones in metro Detroit early Wednesday as part of a nationwide sweep of sites tied to the autoworker union.
Agents also raided the California home of Dennis Williams, who preceded Jones as UAW chief; the union’s northern Michigan conference center; and additional UAW locations in Wisconsin and Missouri.
The raids were a major step as federal officials ramped up their corruption investigation of the autoworkers union – which is in the midst of contract negotiations with Detroit automakers.
As many as a dozen agents collected evidence from Jones’ home on Wildrose Drive in Canton, and would remain there “as long as it takes,” Special Agent Mara Schneider said from the site late in the morning. The search lasted six hours.
She declined to say whether Jones, 62, was home when agents arrived or during the raid. The agents conducted what is called a “knock and announce” protocol.
One neighbor, 47-year-old J. Kevin Telepo, became so intrigued that he grabbed his Swarovski binoculars, sat in his dining room and zoomed in on Jones’ garage. That’s where he saw FBI agents combing through all sorts of stuff: cash, a golf bag and what appeared to be a safe, he said.
Telepo said he saw the agents counting “wads” of cash. He texted his wife and neighbors about the raid.
Apple apologizes for Siri eavesdrops
Apple is apologizing for allowing outsiders to listen to snippets of people’s recorded conversations with its digital assistant Siri, a practice that undermined its attempts to position itself as a trusted steward of privacy.
As part of the apology posted Wednesday, Apple reiterated an earlier pledge to stop keeping audio recorded through Siri unless consumers give their permission.
When permission is granted, Apple said only its own employees will be allowed to review audio to help improve the service. Previously, the company hired contractors to listen to some recordings.
“We realize we haven’t been fully living up to our high ideals, and for that we apologize,” Apple said.
Apple would not say how it will seek permission. In the past, the Cupertino, California, company has typically requested permissions through prompts during software update installations.
The use of humans to listen to audio recordings is particularly troubling to privacy experts because it increases the chances that a rogue employee or contractor could leak details of what is being said, including parts of sensitive conversations.
