It is rated maximum 1 bit error per 10^12 bits, which makes the chance of enough errors within a single packet to break the CRC (or to cause more than 3 retries) astronomically small.

The nice thing is that there is now an advertised set of features to protect against state actors in the form of Advanced Data Protection, Lockdown mode and (soon) iMessage Contact Key Verification. These all have significant usability impa

Maybe. The challenge with E2EE is how to resolve an email address or phone number to the authoritative public key and networking route, securely. If we wind up with multiple authoritative sources of that mapping, each one has the potential

Inter-networked connectivity made this style ownership model untenable though since the 90s - the amount of harm an application can do now that it can receive remote instructions and siphon off data has increased. Hence software publication

It is not a user’s expectation of responsibility - they aren’t going to track that an extension’s automatic update turned it from a coupon clipper to a surveillance engine. If we make this the user’s responsibility, there would be immense h

Doesn’t track with me. If the EU legislates the market they can legislate blocking those E2E apps from the internet. For instance, require apps to be installed from alternative marketplaces and not just sideloaded, and heavily regulate alte

All USB 3 devices are compatible with USB 3.2. They roll up the requirements for everything in there in addition to compatibility across modes. The 3.2 spec does not say you should "now call it USB 3.2 Gen 2x2". The only actual na

Most of those are market noise because of manufacturers wanting to sell things which aren't under conformance. Thunderbolt 4 and 5 are external conformance marks, because the USB-IF can't be motivated to stop the abuse their own m

The difference is that the USB-IF logos to indicate bandwidth/charging capacity on packaging and plugs require certification, while numbers written arbitrarily on the plug don't require testing and don't have to be true.

Apple's solution for missing Catalyst functionality has been to create analogous features or port existing API to iPad. That said - the long-term strategy doesn't appear to be Catalyst, but Swift UI.

The rumors I heard were that SwiftUI was originally meant to launch for watchOS first, to fill in the (sizable) gaps with the UI framework there. I suspect even though it was always meant to be a cross-platform UI framework, the initial lay
