That would just create a bidding war and wouldn't stop the arms race at all. Also, once the rewards increase past a certain point, security researchers would have no reason to work for apple, since one big hit would mean set for life.

Yup. it's exactly this. After first unlock, data is decrypted and loaded into memory. You shouldn't be able to extract it though, without unlocking the device.

I have this experience sometimes when presenting for work. I do the presentation, interact with the audience, answer tough questions and at the end I don't really remember anything of it. I will have to ask others how I did, because it

Inconvenient is exactly the right issue for this, which was, pretty much, my point.

If not being able to send emoji or media attachments for a couple of hours is a 'big issue' for you, then I really feel for you, honestly. I have no idea what that would be like, but for me it's pretty trivial, Like I think i

So, do you need to be in touch with these people instantly 24/7? Because if that's the case it's useful to have some sort of back-up. If it isn't, then the usual Whatsapp outage isn't actually an issue for you, sinc

I have groups like that. If I open the app now, I can still see all their phone numbers, in case I really need to reach someone urgently.

Phones still work, right? For things that can't wait for Whatsapp to get back online, I would imagine a phone call would then be an option? Or open up a Jitsi Meet just for the time being and share the link through mail? There's s

They can still text regularly though, so it isn't that much of an issue if there's a real need to communicate. Edit: I feel like every response I'm getting is: 'but texting is expensive, especially with foreign contacts&

The government will be paying a shit load of money for it, so yes, I don't see any issues. Or the government can just stop giving them subsidies and they'll just seize existing. I think buying them out is a neater solution.

Here's an example about the misinformation campaign that's happening in the US about the issues in the Netherlands: https://youtu.be/IUGwT8irPKc This video is full of blatant misinformation and misrepresentation.

I don't think this would stop anyone from using the evolution argument, since in their mind this would just show that they evolved to not fly towards the deadly light.

Wow, it's refreshing to see a Dutch person write down the impact of nitrogen as facts. Around me, its seems like slowly everyone is starting to doubt/deny the impact of nitrogen and whether it's something we need to care abou

Yup. Use this all the time, either when I want to automate something on an undocumented API, or if I want to do some basic security testing on API's at work.

Indeed. That's why I like the privacy cards on the iOS App Store a lot. For apps like this, it makes it really easy to spot the ones that'll record my location data on their servers for some reason. It's the same with fitness
