> in order to avoid storing unencrypted photos within iCloud To be clear, Apple does not utilize E2E in iCloud. They can (and already do) scan iCloud contents

Not OP and not speaking with any authority on this more just curious: If alongside this Apple rolled out the ability for them to initiate a scan on any phone for any thing (not a tool for mass surveillance but targeted surveillance) how wou

>I’d say we deal with it if and when it happens. By the time we know that it is happening it will be far more difficult to do something about it (see Snowden and the Patriot Act).

Can you really call it E2EE if one of the ends is wide open?

There is no rule against asking for network access - tons of keyboards do to serve things like gifs from gify etc (including gboard and the apple keyboard)

FlickType doesn't require full access though?

I wholeheartedly agree. PyTorch did recently release AMD support which I was happy to see (though I have not tested it), I’m hoping there is more to come. https://pytorch.org/blog/pytorch-for-amd-rocm-platform-now-a...

Can anyone comment on the possibility of going in the opposite direction? I’m considering buying the frame.work laptop, daily driving pop!_os and then virtualizing OSX on it for the few OSX programs I use (this supports framework and not ap

I would suggest that it is cooperation with governments in exchange for easement (watering down) of antitrust pushes

So they open a huge back door instead of waiting for a threat and fighting that?

by jjcon 5y ago
Agreed - even if Apple doesn’t back down, giving them hell would make other companies less likely to follow suit. This is a very important line in the sand that they have crossed

And what about AP and Reuters?

by jjcon 5y ago
Can someone explain what the difference between this and pulling stuff off the AP machine is? I see almost identical news articles all the time across major news outlets. My partner used to work at a company and would write all their news,

Well stated. I am one of those that trusted Apple, and though it seems totally obvious now (the problems present with not having full control of ones device) for whatever reason it took all this for me to realize how privacy truly requires

Even if it is A though, what is the point of E2E encryption if your endpoints are compromised (there is none). The only purpose at that point would be marketing which does seem like something Apple would do but I sincerely doubt that will b

Google couldn’t do it, not effectively anyway because android vendors and variants are decentralised. They could do it for the pixels but that represents less thats half a percent of the market - not to mention that everyone on a pixel coul

Where did I say they were? I said antitrust which means anticompetitive. If you don’t like the law take it up with the governments in the EU, US and Australia.

Wow I’m actually looking at framework right now as well after this announcement- my 2015 pro has been great but the trade offs are just too high I wonder if framework will have a mysterious bump in sales because of this

Scans for exact matches of hashes of photos provided by the government. Apple is not controlling the hash database.
