I used it in conversation with my spouse the other day and was legitimately surprised to realize that it wasn't in common usage. Or that I apparently had failed to use the term in their hearing in the past 20 years of us knowing each o

Although, to the grandparent's point, that's very much a "getting distracted while performing the task" video -- the first several steps didn't show Hal having to divert, after all. He could have replaced the ligh

They didn't, though. They recommended a few things that this site would do to how it's set up within its server. (I mean, a CDN would also help, but...)

The article you linked to does note that the currency for rolls is handed out as you play as well, in what it claims is fairly generous amount, so you don't have to spend extra. (But yes, actually spending money on this sort of game

The BotW comparisons come because of the world traversal mechanics, mostly. Genshin very-exactly copied the free-climbing + stamina + glider system that's pretty distinctive in BotW.

I didn't downvote, but maybe the "many consider" weasel-words? It's one of those ways to make a fuzzy and unprovable claim that you're advancing but not quite saying you think it. (Plus, I've not seen that cl

Wouldn't both of those scenarios imply that the "bug" is bypassing any normal user consent? They're only practically different in that the "upload them all for cloud-scanning" one would take longer and use more

I feel that I was stating the incentives, though. This being an area people are paying attention to makes it less likely they'll do unpopular things involving it, from a pure "we like good PR and profits" standpoint. They m

I bet it'd take a while. The initial sync for someone with a large library is big, but just turning on upload for new pictures is only a few megabytes a day. Depending on how many pictures you take, of course. And if you're caught

If you trust that you can opt out of iCloud Photos to avoid server-side scanning, trusting that this on-device scanning only happens as part of the iCloud Photos upload process (with the only way it submits the reports being as metadata att

You've misread that page -- the table just refers to content being stored in an encrypted form, even if Apple still possesses a key. There's a list below it of fully end-to-end encrypted content, which doesn't include Photos.

by kemayo 5y ago
Well, theoretically this could be a step towards e2e encrypting the photos so that Apple can't see them on their servers. This entire "secure tickets that unlock a derivative of your photos so we can review them" system wou

Speaking cynically, I think that them having announced this program like they did makes it less likely that they have any sort of nefarious plans for it. There's a lot of attention being paid to it now, and it's on everyone&#x27

by kemayo 5y ago
Yeah, it's weird. Speaking purely personally, whether the scanning happens immediately-before-upload on my phone or immediately-after-upload in the cloud doesn't really make a difference to me. But this is clearly not a universal

They announced the whole thing back on Monday, though. If they were trying to hide it, the initial announcement would have been buried. Burying the "huh, we didn't expect this backlash" comment makes no sense.

Well, okay, if you have enough non-CSAM images on your phone that are also in the NCMEC database, the reviewers will presumably get to see those specific images. They'll then go "these are obviously not naked children" and mo

Apple already did scan photos on your device, though. They do a massive pass of ML classification over all photos on a pseudo-regular basis (I assume "whenever a new OS release includes a new ML classifier build") -- it's wha

I think a lot of that does come down to levels of trust in their algorithm. Their claim is that it's staggeringly unlikely for an account to get flagged without actually containing photos which are really in the database of hashes th

It's worth bearing in mind that the human review step does mean that a government can't just slip stuff in without securing Apple's cooperation (including training their review staff about all the political content they have

I don't see how this is any different from what Apple could already have been forced to do. If the argument is that they're going to knuckle under to an abusive request involving this system, then they'd presumably have done

It's a feature that only applies to kids under 18 who're in a family group, whose parents turn it on. It warns the kid before letting them see an image which machine-learning thinks is nudity. If the kid is 12 or under, their pare

I can't find an answer about whether it's the default nowadays. You certainly used to have to turn it on -- e.g. the Apple support page on the feature tells you how to do so: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT

Well, the obvious option if you've subverted someone's phone so you can do whatever you want with it, and have access to illegal stuff, would be to store it on the phone and submit anonymous tips about the person to the police. Or

I think they're saying that if someone can completely hack your phone so as to have remote control of it, they can sign you up for an iCloud account and add CSAM to it. This seems... implausibly convoluted. If you have full remote cont
