Beyond the unsolicited reinstallation (== malware) behavior other commenters rightly mentioned, the entire existence of the vulnerable server was a hack to work around a Safari security feature . Zoom wanted to eliminate an extra user cli

Of note, Apple has had its own malware detection and removal system in place since the Mountain Lion - Snow Leopard timeframe. Since this article speaks to removal, it's sounding like the Zoom local server may have had its signature a

This is very much a regional thing, in my experience. E.g. in parts of the Southeastern US, I found that plastic+styrofoam overpackaging was ubiquitous as far back as the 1980s. In markets I've been to in parts of the Northeast and N

Vaguely related, I had a lightbulb moment when setting up the A/V system in my current place – literally every single device that needed network would accept an ethernet connection. One switch later and BAM! vastly less WiFi competit

If we're listing PA Semi, then I'll add Fingerworks. Their first-party products (e.g. TouchStream keyboards) vanished, but their multitouch technology heralded an entirely new age of touch-based UI. Like PA Semi, it took Apple t

I throw all my notes out as soon as I finish writing them. This is essentially what I always did, but instead of "as soon as I finish" replace "at some long-overdue future time". But the notion of write-only notes was

the official resellers told me I must take it to the USA where I bought it. This is such a common policy that it's a surprise to me when it's not the case. There's even a term for it: a "grey market" product, mea

For contrast, I very rarely get spam voicemail. The overwhelming majority of robocallers drop without leaving a message. And for many people, myself included, that's the only way to screen legit but previously unknown callers.

iOS has "Do Not Disturb", but it has a broad silencing effect across notifications in general. It's too big a hammer for just shutting down spam callers.

Unsurprisingly, that was one of the many iOS 13 features announced by Apple at WWDC this year: the ability to silence all calls from unknown numbers, sending them directly to voicemail. I'm sure someone running the beta has investigat

Beyond just grids, any layout, explicitly responsive or not. Fire up your browser's Responsive Design Mode and play around with the window width. The basics are generally easy to fix if you take a minute or two to spot check your layo

Honestly, just using the basics of "responsive web design" (search phrase) is most of it. That is, implementing your site using CSS media queries to adapt your layout across multiple device sizes. Contrast that to using hacky dev

Nonsense. iPad has had "iPadOS", since the iPad-specific features like Split View landed in iOS 9. This is just Apple communicating more formally about that strategy with its userbase, and increasing support for iPad-centric wor

Yes, this. This bridges some gaps for sites that are built as either mobile-specific (but not truly responsive), or as desktop-only. I would have thought that the whole device detection, mobile-specific thing would have died many years ag

Part of that comparison (on the "before" side) was a bunch of Cocoa autolayout code. It's verbose and annoying, only mitigated if you're using Interface Builder, which has its own significant downsides. If the declarat

This is a big part of why, as an app user, I'm pretty unhappy with Apple's long-running string of decisions to effectively bottleneck app discovery to the App Store. It just doesn't matter how good the App Store is, it canno
