It's E2EE (only if you turn it on, which you can't do in the UK) but it saves (non-encrypted) the hashes of the plaintext of the files to Apple (presumably for dedup). This allows Apple to see which sets of users share unique Winn

What a terrible take. There is a huge market even just in the US for Starlink. The worldwide market for people who need internet access in remote places is positively gigantic. Additionally, Starlink could be hugely profitable if they exc

I oppose gun violence and I would go to work for a firearms manufacturer. I oppose nuclear war, and I would go to work in the supply chain for nuclear weapons. Deterrence and game theory are very real.

I don't think Microsoft is trying to extend and extinguish javascript or typescript. I do, however, think they are using their standard anticompetitive playbook to disadvantage IDEs that aren't VS Code and agents that aren't

If that were possible, they would already be attempting it with the same level of ability as if they didn’t have access to a text file generator app. It is not about access to the information. All of this “guardrails” handwringing is nonse
