Apple's literal marketing message is that they do all the processing on device. It's not a shift for Apple, as apple has never done this analysis in the past, and only started doing the analysis once it could do it locally. The us

That's literally a feature of the platform. If you open the photos app and type text in it will give you the photos containing that text. If your concern is "apple is harvesting my data" then no. All of apple's various a

Didn't the FBI director literally just give testimony to the effect of "if we have to demonstrate probable cause we would not be able to get these 'warrants'"?

So there’s the general “why is this called a recall when it doesn’t have to go to a shop” complaint for which the answer is “recall is the legal term for what happens” and that is what forces action. Then there are people complaining about

Honestly open source projects such that you can point to work you did without requiring an interview is super effective. I'm honestly unconvinced leetcode practice is useful, there's a significant misunderstanding on coding interv

@_rutinerad got it - on macOS you can select text in any image, and I just assumed you could do that on windows as well (I figure in the context of linux it would be much more dependent on specific configuration so unilateral assumptions on

100% correct, I assumed windows also let people do that given text recognition is apparently trivial now (to the extent it's annoying - trying to drag images and get text selection instead is annoying :-/)

by olliej 3y ago
It's really amazing when we still get those text ones and nowadays you can literally select the text in many of the images and copy/paste into the input field.

Apple does demand better conditions. For the last decade+ most reports of child/illegal labor conditions in factories that manufacture apple products have sourced apple's own supplier audits, which is super great as a message fo

See the second sentence: "Unless your concern is your device is out of your control when it is seized, in which case you could mitigate your concern by locking it when it will be out of your control, or if you really want to just never

Could be autocarrot - I know in the past for me this was a "correction" they wanted to make, though just now in this thread I didn't have to fight it.

Company towns are a thing that have existed in the past, and the results are very well documented. It's similar to company scrip (a thing Facebook tried to reintroduce a few years back), and in fact the two concepts support each other.

I'm not sure what you're exactly saying so we might be talking at cross purposes. I also see this was 4 days ago so not sure if you'll ever see my response let alone reply :D (hello future person who happens to see this!) On

I know, also from experience because it was something I specifically tested, I can do this in the time I take to pick up the device, or take it out of my pocket. Unless your concern is your device is out of your control when it is seized, i

The problem is that I don't understand what the preference is. If your employee has a salary of $X, then the taxable expense should only be $X, it does not matter what the employee is doing. So I don't understand what the benefit

That sounds like something they could reasonably argue was destruction (spoliation?) of evidence, and in some cases judges are allowed to tell juries to assume evidence that was destroyed is harmful to or counters the defense's argumen

I'm still unclear on this: how is R&D not being an expense impacting the costs of a business? Paying employees is a taxable expense. Buying supplies is a taxable expense. Paying rent on office space is a taxable expense. Seriously,

I would expect, in a just system, jail time for every "reporter" who did this, and every executive who approved of it. To stop the business I would expect a minimum payout of the entire revenue (not profit) of every published arti

Gah sorry, I was like “don’t use a useless marketing name” so instead I used a useless acronym instead, huzzah! \o/

Yeah, instead we have a system where we get tyranny of the minority, which is clearly superior. There are multiple states that combined have lower populations than individual cities in numerous successful states. Identical senator counts on

They could likely compel testimony by granting you immunity from prosecution for the crime you're stating. So the correct course of action is to murder someone and then make confessing to murder them your passcode, and get immunity fro

If you have a dissociative disorder, then you may just be shot as that is the US police response to most kinds of mental distress, so then from their pointer of view they've solved the problem.

as opposed to a password manager? Passkeys solve _many_ problems and the weaknesses all degrade to "password manager".

Literally the point of the HSMs in phones and laptops is to stop that. If your device's encryption key is produced by a PBKDF then yes it's doable, but no actually secure system works like that. The way a secure system works is 1.

Disabling biometrics can be done trivially quickly, and means you don't have enter your passcode in any observable way.

I mean the republicans can hold up any nomination under a democrat president because they have a bunch of senators representing half the population of just that Bay Area, and then pass anyone under a republican president. They block replaci
