the form was an official Apple form for repairs. they are going to replace my keyboard and screen. they said they needed the password to test. I asked why not just boot from a USB drive and they said they could not do that. I didn't as

Apple Genius just asked me for my username and password to my MacBook so he could type it into some service form for repairs. I don't think asking for that info is really compatible with "we care about privacy"

I don't think this article is correct. As the blog owner you opt into ads on your blog in disqus. If you don't want the ads go check the settings in the disqus control panel and all 3rd party requests disappear. checking my own bl

as for why no races I think because it's basically impossible (or way too non performant) to write a JavaScript engine that can handle multiple threads deleting properties on objects. You'd have to lock on every delete.

Thinking about it some more. For Camera and Mic they could have the option to "ask the user" every time and revoke that permission if the top is not the front app after a minute or so. That would at least prevent using the camera

The apps are presenting their own UIs showing all the photos. They also have options to upload all the photos in the background. They clearly get permission to access all the photos. Going to settings doesn't help 1) Giving an app perm

Do you have a solution for IoT devices that want to serve a webpage with HTTPS? For example my router or an IP camera?

I'm happy Apple is at least trying hard to deal with privacy but honestly I don't think they are doing enough, at least for me. For example, I don't really want to give most apps constant access to my photos, my camera, or my

Does any country have to respect the patent rights of other countries ? I'm sure there are treaties in place but with those it would seem like transferring the patent to a sovereign would just mean there is no US patent

I beg to differ. I've been far more addicted to a good page turner book than I've ever been addicted to a TV show. And when I finally put the book down 10hrs later I can barely focus on anything further away than 20-30cm. With TV
