This is not correct. The Beeper client directly connects to Apple's servers while bypassing authorization checks through serial number spoofing. They did not build their own infrastructure based on reverse engineering iMessage.

by fh9302 3y ago
Reverse engineering is not a problem, accessing servers in an unauthorized way and then charging money for it is a problem.
34.
by fh9302 3y ago
So Beeper is charging money to let users access Apple's servers in an unauthorized way by spoofing a serial number, and then they complain to regulators when Apple locks them out?

During the M2 series Apple had a node disadvantage compared to AMD and Apple was still ahead. Being the first to buy 3nm doesn't prove what was initially claimed.

RCS can't be swapped out, Google hasn't opened the API so you are forced to use Google or Samsung messages app.

You can send encrypted notifications without any entitlement. I assume you are talking about sending notifications without displaying the notification to the user.

From the independent battery tests I've seen the battery life should be noticeably better. Did you take a look at Activity Monitor to see if something is using high CPU?

They are basically equal while the Intel CPU uses significantly more power. https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/intel-core-i9-13900... https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/3364975

What you didn't mention is that the Snapdragon X Elite has 12 high performance cores, making it a M2 Max competitor and not an M2 competitor, at least on the CPU side. The GPU is disappointing with no ray tracing support.
46.
by fh9302 3y ago
The Snapdragon X Elite CPU is closer to the M2 Pro / Max, while the GPU is closer to the regular M2. This makes comparisons a bit difficult without knowing price and resulting battery life.

Orion uses https://webkit.org/tracking-prevention/ and they have their own custom ad and tracking blocker. They do not set a custom DNS server like the linked issue says.

by fh9302 3y ago
While Orion also has anti-tracking technology, they do not have this specific feature where a custom DNS server is used to block tracking.

> Buying up all state of the art production capacities so competition is one node behind. M2 is a 5nm (N5P) chip, AMD laptops already use 4nm.

Safari has protection against cross-site navigation enabled by default. The issue here is cross-site window open.
53.
by fh9302 3y ago
The merge request you linked is for cross-site navigation, which is a different feature flag than the cross-site window open recommended by this paper.
54.
by fh9302 3y ago
I think users here, including myself, got confused because there is a feature flag that has a similar name. "Swap Processes on Cross-Site Navigation" is enabled by default, but this paper recommends "Swap Processes on Cross-S

Also enabled by default for me on macOS 14.1. Edit: It appears I confused it with a similarly named flag. It doesn't appear to be enabled on macOS yet by default.

Does this mean you would have to visit a malicious website, that malicious website would open a different website with window.open(), and from this they can read data through this side channel attack?

They added this FAQ point a couple minutes ago, that's why the existing comments didn't see it.

Thank you. Do you know if lockdown mode / disabling JIT would mitigate the issue?
59.
by fh9302 3y ago
It's unclear if they even reported this issue to Apple.
60.
by fh9302 3y ago
The paper mentions JIT multiple times, lockdown mode disables JIT. I hope someone else can confirm it but it appears it would be mitigated in this case.
