It's probably not the juiciest target, but I could see intelligence agencies wanting it. Combine it with the OPM hack of all security clearances and you could in theory use it to find family members of spies, people in high positions w

It's all pretty ridiculous considering it's a government owned corporation. They should not be obfuscating anything.

Is it though? I think it would be really rare for your logic board to die right as you are finishing up a project that you haven't saved anywhere else. But with enough time to schedule an appointment at the Apple Store, enough money to

Good luck telling that to the parent that just lost all the pics of their child... If you can lose months of work due to a client and haven't backed it up you do not deserve to have any clients.

> Until their Macbook dies and they take it to Apple for servicing. At which point they'll care a lot. The iPhone outsells the MacBook by more than 10 to 1 and works exactly the same way. I think they'll be OK.

Luckily Apple has loads of experience with hardware encryption of iPhones and it seems like they land pretty damn well with users. Almost no one knew previous models had this recovery feature and almost no one will actually care that the ne

Encryption is not flawed hardware design. You also can't recover data from your iPhone and most people on HN consider that a feature, not a bug.

Well if you were needing the recovery feature of older models you were already in an expensive situation...

You could say the same thing about any business article the WSJ publishes--all sorts of people have potential gains and losses with any business news. That doesn't make it untrue. You haven't even read the story and yet call it fa

Apple was beleaguered before Steve came back. That's why he came back! They very nearly went out of business, you can't get much more beleaguered than that.

Well that 100% depends on the contract. My hunch is if it was stated like that in the contract than they wouldn't be "asking" and this wouldn't be a news story. I don't know what kind of supplier would agree to that

It's encrypted using the T2 chip (with a key that can't be extracted) so I'm not sure what value getting a copy of the SSD would be. The 2016 MBP did not have this encryption.

Using your numbers that would mean increasing their output by over 40% without a new factory... I'd say that is very much "far off". I mean they had to make a tent to try and convince Wall Street they can make 5,000 cars in a

So China can steal Tesla's method of sloppily making fewer cars at a loss? If they have a secret sauce it surely isn't inside the factory.

No, it's because China is the largest car market in the world (yet is not a significant automobile exporter because that's not where the expertise is). Also, this: > Last week, in response to tariffs imposed by the United State
