Of course, everything will be encrypted, then securely transmitted over to their servers and promptly decrypted when requested by the authorities (see Apple in China and CCP's key to iCloud).

That's basically what Apple announced with the their semantic AI integrations; they didn't call them screenshots because they're smarter than Microsoft but it's the same thing (actually, slightly worse, since their &quot

So they're saying the quiet part out loud now...

It's not hyperbolic, I genuinely believe (and there is plenty of evidence suggesting it as well) that Apple is building a massive ad empire. BTW, related to all their "encrypted" cloud, if the CCP having the decryption key is

And Apple, the upstart ("stealth mode") ad company.

I keep hearing that, but I still see plenty of ads (and other dark patterns like data collection you can't turn off) in Enterprise builds. I heard Win10 LTSC was somewhat better so I'm hoping there will be a Win11 LTSC coming out

That's genius from Apple's pov and dumb from OpenAI's... why the hell do they need "exposure" when their ChatGPT product is already synonymous with LLM / "AI Search" in many (non-tech) peoples' m

I VPN (WireGuard) into my home network to access other selfhosted services (like Immich for photos, paperless-ngx, DNS adblock, etc.) and to prevent some tracking, so it would work great for me.

Maybe, but I can totally firewall my own servers to my heart's desire, including completely blocking it off from the internet and only allowing connections via my own network's routes.

The only way to trust this is them selling "cloud compute" servers that folks can deploy and monitor in their own infrastructure. Nothing else can be guaranteed to not include malicious code to exfiltrate the data. Or better yet,

Well, a 89-day "update-and-revert" schedule will take care of those pesky auditors asking too many questions about NSA's backdoor or CCP's backdoor and all that.

Semantic index is doing an even deeper level of integration where clear text is pushed from iMessage, email and more so no need for OCR. Where Apple is worse than MS here is that this data may be pushed to their cloud in addition to local p

I'm a user and I require that feature. Transferring photos over a USB cable to a PC has been a feature in all portable electronics with a camera for the past 25+ years, yet Apple is still getting it wrong.
255.
by gigel82 2y ago
Maybe, maybe not. I would like to purchase one of those servers and put it in my rack, so I can monitor all network traffic. Is that an option?

The problem is they don't explicitly define when 1 can pass to 2 and whether we can fully and categorically disable it. As far as I know, 1 can pass to 2 when governments ask for some personal data or when Apple's ad model needs s

No, no... Apple is totally cool and private. This is totally not like Recall at all, it's semantic index - and it only goes to the "private cloud" some of the times with your data.
258.
by gigel82 2y ago
It's all in the "private cloud". "Trust me bro", it's like totally private, only us and a handful of governments can read it.
259.
by gigel82 2y ago
So "Great powers come with great privacy", but "some" tasks run on their "Private Cloud". That's very bold of them; I would argue that is worse than Recall; at least with Recall you can enable/disable

They need a lot more information about how "Apple Intelligence" actually works. They can't just wave the magic wand and say "some" of the functionality runs in the "private" cloud - we need one single chec

Or better yet, make the OneDrive integration a public, documented API so we can plug in our own cloud storage and get all the same benefits (syncing settings, files, game saves, etc. but with the added benefit of choice). I'd love to g

Good progress, but to take it just over the trust threshold for me, I'd like it to be a component that you can add/remove (like Hyper-V or IIS); removing literally uninstalls the associated services, applications, DLL registration

My point is device manufacturers will just add Thread radios in their shitty spy devices and they will gain network access via Apple connected devices whether we like it or not. That's what Amazon Sidewalk was designed to do. Your Alex

And you think people that work at Google or Microsoft have power to pushback against the shit their employers do? LOL
265.
by gigel82 2y ago
This is very concerning, reminds me of Amazon Sidewalk. All I can think of is "Smart TVs" and the care you need to take to keep them from going online to exfiltrate your data. They won't ever need your Wifi credentials if the

The smart bulb doesn't have an internet connection so yes, absolutely.

Well, if you had recall enabled, you could get all your text back out of that :)

My guess is this was never supposed to be the marquee feature for Copilot PC, but likely whatever else they had either slipped or was cut so they had to push this half-baked crap to the front.

You too can be a hacker by using... get this... any SQLite client/library of your choice. You're welcome!
