My immediate thought. The context to that, is that the prosecutors sent a low quality video to the defense, and then late in the trial introduced a high quality video, which the defense couldn't prepare for; and there was a whole argum

The problem is that on the sheer scale of Apple's worldwide repair needs (if every big repair was sent to a US location), they'd need to have tens of thousands of highly-paid technicians who are good at soldering, and make very fe

The legend going around, is that the iPhone's screen was changed from plastic to glass a week before the announcement (6 months before launch). Nowadays, things like the cameras get finalized 2-3 years before the phone comes out (accor

I remember seeing a tweet by the Safari team that they have more openings than ever; great news, they have a lot of catch up to do! I really hope they can gain an equal footing and start having a better (bigger?) impact on the web.

It does seem strange, because while I'm not too familiar with the PoW pro/cons arguments (I heard PoW was more secure than any other method, for now, but haven't verified that independently), it rubs me the wrong way to class

As far as I'm aware there's nothing in the OS that should do that, at least by default. Perhaps an accessibility option. Or your charger is finnicky and somehow disconnects during charging a few times, but you say the sound is dif

Pretty sure YouTube employees have already classified all government channels and public access channels as such. There's a notice below those videos that indicates it. And if not, it should be done anyway.

AirPods auto-switching is absolutely awful. Try downloading IntervalTimer on your iPhone. Start a timer. Listen to music from your Mac. The Interval app on your phone will make beeps when intervals end; when that happens, your iPhone will p

I strongly hope that Google & Apple are already planning lawsuits against this. My next phone will be an Android with custom ROM if this passes with no protest.

If you're a tech head, wouldn't you be just as safe on Android?

I fail to see how that changes anything. Apple has a good refund policy, but kids game on laptops too, and if they know your CC number, they can buy things on Fortnite on their laptops; the root problem is kids knowing your CC number. I don

It's quite interesting to read the history of how Blink came to be[0]. Seems like it started on what amounts to a misunderstanding. And now, because of it, Safari's fallen hopelessly behind in web standards support, security, and

The best thing to do is add opening hours/other info to Apple Maps, Bing Maps, and OpenStreetMaps once they start allowing that. Right now Google has a monopoly because every local business in most countries just bother updating openin

After reading [0], I wouldn't want to use Bing without at least a VPN. Not sure if Microsoft has fixed this already, but I don't want to rely on governments/ISPs/anyone on the network knowing the difference between a use

> Perhaps this safari process was the culprit? No, for many people it was Rosetta apps. BTW, Apple totally lied when they said they "fixed it" in an update and it was only a "reporting issue". It's not fixed, and

I just see it as a business opportunity. Half an hour better spend in nature than with goggles, but surely you can make good money from it early on.

If Apple Stores have the ability to pair a new FaceID module after an "official" repair, then why wouldn't the NSA have that same ability? Only third-party repair shops don't have that ability.

The problem here is that many assume that they get to remain on Catalina or Big Sur (and before, Mojave) and enjoy full security, while waiting out the bugs on the new version. It's seen as "responsible" to stay on Big Sur, f

Having a hard cap could scare away average users who don't understand how much data they have, and just want a simple, set and forget solution. How is grandma supposed to know her kids' photos aren't "10TB"?

If Mozilla switched to Blink, they'd be maintaining their own version, and it could diverge from Google's. That would be the "trustworthy, community Blink". But they'd also be able to much more easily benefit from B

Again, bootable backups work fine on Apple Silicon, but not when the internal drive has failed, since booting requires an iBoot volume stored on the internal drive. I believe there's a misunderstanding, and SuperDuper hasn't found

Note that AS Macs still support external boot, just not when the internal drive is dead, since booting relies on the iBoot volume stored on the internal drive.

I'm not sure your link disproves this article. The first paragraph just says bootable backups are supported (they are by CCC too), and the rest of the page hasn't been changed in years. The SuperDuper blog says: > Note that, as

Article is from May but received no attention, and I believe most people are unaware of this; the Mac needs an iBoot on the internal drive in order to boot from any volume, and thus cannot boot from an external drive if the internal one has
