You can uninstall the photos app. And reinstall it from the App Store via https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/photos/id1584215428 Or you can install a completely alternative app to manage your photos. The only thin

Many system apps that are bundled with iOS can already be uninstalled and reinstalled via the App Store. Photos also has an “Uninstall” button. Won’t feel like trying out what that does.

I doubt they would leave the EU. I do think it is expected that they will design their products or features with the EU in mind and probably not even ship specific things in that region to avoid risk of being micromanaged / product man

It is pretty much a requirement if you want to do business in mainland China. Firefox also had a set of China-owned servers to sync data from Chinese users to. (“Had” because I think they officially stopped the relationship with Mozilla Chi

"siphoning data" is a pretty bold claim. you can't just type those words without being very specific.

Well I’ll add to my response that I think it is delusional to think that (security) features ship bug free. It is a bar that _nobody_ can or has met. It is not how the software world works at large.

I replied with the following, because I think this article is (unsurprisingly) extremely one-sided. Google's impact (damage imo) on the big picture browser and standards landscape cannot be ignored. "Funny how you don't menti

"Please note that this leak only occurs with iCloud Private Relay on iOS 15" All software has bugs. I think it is more interesting to see how companies respond to reported issues. And how they improve things. Is OpenSSL "thea

There is a market for web browsers as soon as Google is able to ship a “real” Chrome for iOS and half they start breaking things gently on the web for other browsers. Just like they did over the timespan of a decade. Once Chrome can ship on

It is also difficult to prove because a web browser, yes even Safari, is an open platform by design and it can can run 99% of the web successfully just like other browser. Yes that is true even for Safari. People like to call Safari the “ne

Too bad they don’t tell the Stuffit history. How Raymond Lau (?) started it in the 80s and how it grew into the business it is now. (Is it a buneisnss I have no idea.) Used StuffIt all the time in the classic Mac until Compact Pro came alon

Yes but we abandoned that idea a while ago. There are no more green locks in browsers. Nobody buys those expensive certificates that proof ownership. When you curl something it doesn't show anything unless it is an actual invalid certi

Because you wrote HTTPS in italic .. HTTPS doesn't mean anything. Both the good and bad actors can have perfectly valid HTTPS configured. It is not a good indicator of trustworthiness of the actual thing you download.
