Considering that the breach wasn't on the actual site itself but on the accounts of private companies that were tasked with receiving the applications, this isn't an issue with the website. More than likely, someone employees that

Sure, but the vision is that all the information is localized to one device that you own that is on your person at all times. Look at how big Apple is about privacy and security. The goal is to have as few attack vectors as possible while o

You can't say "Period" like that. Apple's endgame (in the far future) is for you to wear an Apple device that allows you to sit at any Apple computer/display/device anywhere and access your information from iCl

I doubt it's the business model. I would bet that they just haven't figured out a good way to deal with external storage on a device like that. The best approximation I've seen is storage cards on Android devices and even tho

Glad to see the powerful arguments against my statement from those voting me down.

Is that new to these devices? We have an iMac Pro running Linux just fine.

Don't you tell me my business, devil woman!

He already addressed this. You can disable secure boot to allow Linux installs.

This is a pretty ignorant take on the whole thing. Most people pay the premium for this specifically because only "blessed" apps and accessories work and they don't have to mess with things. They're paying extra for the

SD cards only work to download. I doubt you can manage folders and whatnot on them.

I think that might be true on the surface but, when you actually think about how most people use an iPad, it kinda falls apart. Most applications on the iPad function through the use of some kind of Library system where the app handles its

This was not proven false. The malware that was discovered only affected iMacs and MacBooks from 2008 and prior when the light was not directly connected to the camera's power. That didn't happen until early 2009.

The camera already functions this way. The light is connected to the actual power of the camera and cannot be disabled unless the camera is also disabled. The microphone, to my knowledge, doesn't function like this but I don't thi

Malware doesn't have access to the T2. Presumably, the T2 is configurable separately from the rest of the hardware or anything else the system would have access to.

by dpkonofa 8y ago
Or, you know, they could use a chip that they're already putting into the device (like the T2) and not have to use additional components. Same end result without the extra parts.

That will also do it on certain phones. It depends on the model.

I think you'd need to specify what kind of data you're looking for. Apple publishes the specs for dynamic range and whatnot but it sounds like you're looking for some kind of mythical "quality" number.

That's a good question. I've never really used navigation or maps offline as I don't have a use for it.

If I'm in walking mode, my phone displays the street names. Have you attempted that? The example given was in a car.

by dpkonofa 8y ago
>we are talking about maps that don't show road names here Can you provide a use case where that would be necessary for a situation where you're not using the navigation? A lot of people seem to think this is a requirement for

I would argue that, because it's Apple, the people experiencing issues are more vocal and because, realistically, this is the first generation of the new butterfly keyboard so there will be some growing pains. I believe Ars posted a ha

by dpkonofa 8y ago
Just playing devil's advocate here but why would you need to use a map, if not for directions or locating a specific thing? Are you just trying to check out what roads are around? In Apple Maps, if you switch to walking view, you get a

Agreed. My entire family now has Apple products because I hand them down when I buy the newer models. I'm sure I could sell most of them and get some of my money back but it's worth it to me in both cost and hassle to just give my

I've had this MacBook for 2 years now and the keyboard is still working. I have a year-old work machine too with the v2 keyboard and it's still working. Maybe I'm just more careful around my expensive electronics than most. W

That's fine. That's your preference. No one is saying you can't have a preference. I prefer the iPhone and none of the Android phones that I've tried and used regularly hold a candle to it. The argument was that these le

Man... I love the new MacBook keyboards. I know they're not for everyone but I love the feel of it. Any other laptop I use gets my mechanical keyboard plugged in immediately. The MacBook just feels so damn nice.

>that would be 90% as good Maybe to you but I've tried several other phones that are nowhere near that close to Apple. I'd give the best non-Apple phone I've ever used a 70% and even that might be being generous.

They're not. You can inspect the network packets being sent from an iPhone (and it's been done) and it doesn't phone home data to Apple outside of iCloud usage and those packets are encrypted.

I scoffed at that price too and then realized that I spend more money on way stupider things regularly. My phone is something that I use literally every single day. If I want to continue using it, then I need to pay the price they're a

Does this require an extension on the file? One of my pet peeves with Sublime is that every package for beautification, syntax highlighting, and code-folding requires whatever I'm working on to be saved to a file using a specific exten
