I think you’re misunderstanding the ability for an echo chamber corporation to fuck itself thoroughly on that one. They have serious problems admitting they did something stupid historically. Butterfly keyboards, reliability issues, you’re

Did anyone sit with the users for a few days? I hear the same success stories from the MSPs while simultaneously their users are crying into their coffee on a daily basis. In fact “sorry our systems are slow today” is a normal catchphrase t

I’ve seen that promoted but never implemented or used successfully. As for data exfiltration I’ve worked in the defence sector in IT which has pretty stringent security controls in place. At the same time it’s very easy to do without much e

yep agree. But why deploy LOB SaaS browser applications on Citrix? It doesn’t add up.

Based on the letter by NCMEC describing opponents to the technology as “screeching voices of the minority” , I suspect this is some kind of variant of being guilted into doing something by either lobbying, marketing or internal proponent

Complexity and price are not the problems with Citrix or any VDI solution. The whole concept doesn’t work. I have spent years and years dealing with miserable staff who have to sit on the end of a mucked up, crawling semi paralysed Citrix d

Exactly this. I see lots of people saying that Apple are forced to implement something via legislation as if it’s an excuse for it. If they want to do business in China they will be forced by their legislation. My entire argument is don’t

Awaiting future headline “Secret CSAM hash list leaks online” . Keeping lists secret appears to be something the human race is really really bad at.

If it’s a visual derivative, whatever that means, then how does the reviewer know it matches the source image? Sounds like there’s a lot of non determinism in there.

So fundamentally there’s a lot of mechanism around keeping secrets but the source material is available. Hmm. https://youtu.be/eU2Or5rCN_Y

So there’s an office somewhere with computers full of illegal child porn that people are staring at and comparing your photos to? There’s some irony in that.

That assumes that the human review process is competent, your own images aren’t poisoned in some way (consider your own kids in the bath with some noise added) etc. In the mean time they lock your account which means your entire digital lif

That’s end game. Now you can use it for targeted attacks against innocent people. This needs to be shut down and disposed of immediately. There is no other outcome which is socially acceptable for Apple. I feel vindicated now. There are a l

Urf I did go looking for this and found it. You’re spot on. India is not known for looking at what can go wrong. There are many YouTube videos out there showing you how to make things with electricity which can kill you dead instantly. What

Quite impressive. I actually don’t use nano though only because it’s not always there. I learned a long time to pick a narrow subset of ubiquitous tools to know really well, compose those and leave it at that. If I’m dumped in single user m

As someone who doesn’t work for Apple I wouldn’t work for Apple on principle even if they tripled my salary today. There are some lines that none of us should cross. There needs to be an ethical code for software engineering.

It’d go really well for the government. You’d just end up with a lot of dead hams. Disorganised morons with AR15’s vs professional army. I know who wins that one.

Why ham radio? That doesn’t make sense. There’s no privacy there by law. It is by nature a completely non anonymous medium. Not only that if a country shuts down its comms the hams are all on a nice list for their shit to be confiscated. Im

If you think that you’re completely wrong. I have been asked about it by four non technical people so far after it made national news in the UK. There is a lot of anti surveillance sentiment here and it’s appearing in general public regular
