So I understand the hashes come from a database run by a government? So then that government can easily slip any other hash into the same database depending on what they are looking for.

This is building in that back door that was requested some years ago.

I agree that this is a kind of backdoor and am against it for that reason. However, my understanding is that the hash database is NOT from a government or government agency. It is from a special non-profit set up to fight child abuse. 

NCMEC is funded with private and government funds.

From Wikipedia:
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) is a private, nonprofit organization established in 1984 by the United States Congress. In September 2013, the United States House of Representatives, United States Senate, and the President of the United States reauthorized the allocation of $40 million in funding for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children as part of Missing Children's Assistance Reauthorization Act of 2013

It breaks Aperture and that's enough to keep me on Mojave for the foreseeable future.

Hospital networks were also affected today. 

I can't access some test results from yesterday because 'MyChart' is down...

There should be some sort of handheld device that when you plug in the cable, it can detect which version. 

Here's one, but it doesn't cover 2.1   yet.

Here's 2.1 8K stuff...

Possibly part of the “screeching minority” who simply “don’t understand how this works”?

More like the screeching minority who've seen this before...and do know how it works.

So the 24" only comes with the basic M3.  Nope.
The 24" can only support one extra display.  Nope.
It can replace the Intel 27", I think not.  

My 5K debuted 8 years ago. 
Since they discontinued the 5K, they have not come up with an all-in-one to replace it.

Every morning I wake up hoping to be able to shed the unbearable burden of the cost of keeping my data SAFE with Apple. 

I'm going to start planning how splurge that 99¢ I will be saving every month!

I bought a leather case for my brand new 12 mini nearly 4 years ago.
The case looks as good, if not better than when I bought it.  Plus it feels great and has protected my mini these 4 years through drops etc.
I'll be keeping the case and the phone until they release a replacement that fits in my pocket like this one does. 

My Apple ID, at the iTunes music store and any other money based accounts, has been a Yahoo address for ages. I got am "@me.com" account 4 or 5 years later for mail and such.
Then, 9 years ago when I bought a new iMac 5K, it assigned my "@me'com" address as my Apple ID, without asking.  It took a couple of years to figure why I had a hard time signing in to certain accounts.  Turned out I was stuck with 2 Apple IDs. 
When I got an Apple Card, I couldn't put it in my wallet, because the IDs didn't match.  Fun!

Easy.  Don't use that crap.
