Except the free tier on iCloud is miniscule so you're forced to stump up cash if you actually want to backup. Plus iCloud is stubbornly not E2EE.

Except lightning also still operates at USB 2.0 speeds - so if you don't want to trust Apple with your data in iCloud backups (which as it's not E2EE encrypted is foolhardy, plus you have to pay for a higher tier for any phone wit

Why do countries invade others? It's often portrayed as being for the greater good of the attacker, restoring their territorial integrity. But let's be honest, you don't spend billions if you're not getting anything in r

And yet phones started off big, bulky and with no features and now everyone has a smartphone in their pocket.

https://techcrunch.com/2022/08/15/report-apple-tested-ads-in... There are MANY stories about their push into ads to augment their other newer services money streams. That's just one.

Depends on the reality of the deal TSMC has with ASML - those machines aren't exactly quick to ramp up production of.

The microphone access is also for voice messages, which are supported by other messaging apps, but again, has to be listed in the health card - and looks nefarious.

by philjohn 4y ago
Is that available to other apps? If not - then this just looks like they're skirting around things they foist on third party developers to make themselves look squeaky clean.

Built in apps - iMessage. And yes, that does seem to be in the app store now, however, there's a lot there that seems to be missing - access to photos for example isn't listed in the health card, neither is microphone access - bot

Apple want to vastly increase the amount of money they make from ads - that blurs the line somewhat, no?

The CSAM scanning would have required Apple employees to view flagged photos to confirm if they are CSAM - so yes, Apple employees will have some level of access to iCloud data, otherwise, legal requests for data would be impossible. This w

Well there's the disingenuous way in which they present the choice, defaulted to opt in with flowery language, versus the popup third party developers have presented to their users. There's also the "app store health card&quo

Corsair 7000D Airflow - it's a full tower. Easy build, the case has a lot of room to route. I went with ZMT tubing rather than hard tubing, as I didn't want to deal with rigid fittings, I prefer the aesthetic, and it's easier

Then again, I have 2 420mm Black Ice Nemesis radiators in my custom loop - even at relatively low speeds it can keep the 5800X in there and 3080 Ti cool under constant high loads.

Except then you're probably stuck on a version that has exploitable holes UNTIL you upgrade. At least Microsoft is now ensuring people are somewhat protected.

Could it be all of your windows store apps updating? The longer you leave it, the more than will have updates?

by philjohn 4y ago
Honestly installing Windows updates is far less painful than installing MacOS updates - they seem to take an absolute AGE to finish, whereas Windows updates, even to relatively major update versions, are much faster. Heck, even an Ubuntu di

The GOP lifted the ban on exporting from the SNR, and tacked it onto a "must pass" bill so Obama couldn't veto it. Blame them.

Something similar happened with Half Life 2 - and it went on to be a smash hit. Yes, it's not nice to have your work revealed before its ready, but locking down and just keeping the pace of development up would be the more judicious us

As others have said, approaching this with the mindset of "this all needs to be rewritten!" is counter productive, and will set you up on collision course with leadership. I inherited something similar 12 years ago, also cobbled t

This. Asking genuine questions is the key - as is starting from the assumption that, hey, I might be completely wrong here - I want to understand this.

An old manager gave me something I almost consider a superpower - a simple technique that works for this very well. Ask questions. That's it. Turns out, either you're wrong, and the answers to the questions will make you ralise th
