   Main thing is iPhones get security updates for about 8 years. My iPhone 6S is still fine. Pixel in particular will now get 7 years, but this wasn't the case in the past. Random other Android phones don't have good support, and eve

   Apple is one of the few entities I'd trust for password management. Besides relying on them not being breached, devices I physically have make for good auth mechanisms. It's the one thing I really don't want to deal with a th

   https://support.apple.com/en-us/102651 is a nice overview. The "key storage" column is the part to pay attention to. The keys to user keychains are stored on devices only.

   One point of an iPhone is that it lasts longer, but if you really want new hardware all the time, Android is a cheaper option.

   I guess if you take the title literally. I understood it to mean, did they just figure out how to do it.

   Glanced at it quickly, and they mention new parallelism primitives that can be used to write faster parallel code, as well as speeding up existing parallel code. So if anything is 100X faster, it's probably some very specific routine w

   The article doesn't say no, it says idk. The author asks readers if they know the answer in the body. This is the first question-marked headline I've ever seen that's actually meant as a question. Also, the studies on that Wi

   I actually read the article and didn't see this at first. It's mentioned at the very bottom, right above the "featured stuff" and unrelated article below it, and after a lot of text about what Passwords does that Keychai

   I've found it easier to use Keychain as my "master database" and selectively copy passwords as needed into whatever browsers on non-Apple devices, granted it's not super often. Also, often I can directly use my phone to

    This hasn't happened to me, but enabling iCloud notes deleted all my notes. Kinda ridiculous for an app that had one simple job.

    An alphanumeric password doesn't have to be bad or hard to remember. Mixed case and symbols don't add much security. But still, should be paste-able.

    Keychain has been around for decades, but the feature isn't as visible as third-party apps that also advertise themselves. On the Mac, you even had to go into the complicated Keychain Access utility to retrieve them. I guess Apple just

    I'm not saying the US should disconnect, but our obedience to Israel isn't doing us favors. Obama's nuclear deal with Iran is the one counterexample I can think of, and it ended. Syrian Civil War started only 3 years after Ob

    Taiwan and Ukraine are wedges against global US adversaries. An invasion of either one would threaten our influence in Europe or the Pacific. Israel isn't strategically important to us, and actually we'd have more control over the

    I wouldn't say it's mainly the taxes either, except that every startup's lifeline is the potential of future acquisition, which taxation might hurt.

    There's value in OS integration, but again, what are the real use cases? Memoji or whatever doesn't qualify. Apple has added a ton of features in recent years that I haven't used once. If it's going to manage my calendar

    Idk about Sam Altman in particular, but OpenAI pulled the bait-and-switch you can still see in its name. We don't know what the contract says exactly, but there are always loopholes, and I would not assume anything OpenAI says to be in

    Apple has decided to allow users to disable various features, so the question is, do they let you disable this.

    What filereaper said. The taxes and labor regulations alone make the risk vs reward not make sense for tech startups, and that's without getting into explicit tech regulations.
