If it is really only to be used when iCloud Photos is turned on, why not do the hashing on Apple's servers when the photos are uploaded to the service? It is my understanding that this kind of hash-checking of files is a pretty standar

I have always been concerned that this system could be weaponized as a way gain access to someone's account. For example: - Add the hash of a non-pornographic image to the database - Using a burner email address, email the non-pornogra

I loved BeOS/BeFS. I remember exporting ID3 tags from mp3 files into file system attributes and querying them to create playlists. Aside from Haiku, does anyone know if any of the open-source Unix-like operating systems support arbitra
