I like the magic mouse, and I care that I can't charge it while using it. I also care that I have to activate bluetooth in order to use it, even if it's plugged in. Same with the keyboard. WTFF.
- stephenr 2y agoAre you sure about the keyboard? Mine disconnects from BT when it's plugged in (and continues to work)
- notinmykernel 2y agoYou still have to switch it "on" which means it is emitting a BT signal. It leaves users vulnerable to keylogging via BT. It's well-attested and was reported to Apple in Q4 2022. Ideally the on/off switch would not control both the power and BT.
- wtallis 2y agoIt still transmits keystrokes over Bluetooth even when it's connected over USB?
- notinmykernel 2y agoYes. It is possible intercept keystrokes for an Apple keyboard that has been previously connected to a computer or laptop. It was tested as part of this vulnerability for Apple shortcuts: https://jestlandia.github.io/apple-shortcuts-vulnerability-12032024.html https://jestlandia.github.io/apple-shortcuts-vulnerability-1....
- wtallis 2y agoDo you have a link that actually corroborates and explains this?
- notinmykernel 2y agoI can make one, yes. We thought it was irresponsible to release it at the time. But hey, times change. Will update shortly.
