  • Even the upcoming macOS Sonoma update isn't safe from this malware

     Open Terminal cut and paste - if it runs nothing, nothing is there - no worries.  They all hide in that place, if you want bullet proof initialize the drive with Disk Utility  (meaning erase everything) not fun. Paste in Terminal  this is for the test.
    /Applications/DetectX\ Swift.app/Contents/MacOS/DetectX\ Swift search -a

    Now you can replace Swift.app with any application.  Just use that command.  It can read
    /Applications/DetectX\ Messages.app/Contents/MacOS/DetectX\ Messages search -a

  • How the Apple-Goldman Sachs relationship became an unhappy marriage

    In the world of finance, Goldman Sachs,
    A firm so renowned for its stacks,
    With each profitable deal,
    They continue to reel,
    My heart weeps for their meager tax hacks.

    When a plane flies, 
    it may crash and die,
    When the profiteers at Goldman Sachs fold,
    Apple will stand strong and be bold, and gold,
    When Apple uses a weak Bank,
    The Bank will be hit with the force of a Tank.

    Apple can Manhandle those people in a second.

  • Apple cracks down on apps identifying users through device fingerprinting

    I'm a developer too, and I understand the frustration. But turn your ire on those who feel the need to use their technical ability for scams rather than creating technology which is actually useful to people (and thus worth more than just advertising revenue).

    It's really a sad day when the predominant business model for app developers is: create a free app which will capture people's attention and then milk them for all the data they're worth while using it. And of course, being scammers who don't understand the meaning of the word "ethics" and feel it's their right to do whatever they please to others for profit, as soon as Apple tries to limit what data they can get, they start doing "clever" things like this (using uptime, free space, etc. to create a unique fingerprint).

    For myself, I'll be happy to explain to Apple why I use certain APIs if it means less scammers and more genuinely useful apps in the world. Good riddance to a business model which is moving humanity backwards, not forwards.

    I agree.  Hands down. But when it comes to HTML - Apple cannot control the API, especially with Firefox.  That would trying to be controlling the internet on any Macintosh OS.  They've done it on the iOS and people go Android. It's a slippery slope.  If you pissed someone off that much that they want to hack you, you must have done something and that has nothing to do with technology. One should concentrate on the 99.9 percent not the 0.1 percent.  Yes, Apple should control the API on their Operating System, but HTML...They can't even if they wanted to, they would have to start a new internet.  Apple knows that all microprocessors will be the same in a few years.  And their pretty privilege will also disappear.  The new headset will be the game changer, they will have control.

  • Apple Vision Pro won't be an iPad-level business for quite a while

    Give it Two seasons.  With proper advertising and product placement which I'm sure they have it locked down. - Every headset sold will be four iPads in terms of coin - it will replace the iPad just like the iPhone replaced the iPod.  The wealthy will be buying this like a pint head passing the bat to his pint head friends.  Look how dumb people look with sunglasses - Aesthetics won't play a feature in this game when the kids are in the backseat with a 4k three-D TV or Adults sitting in a park.  The possibilities are endless...

    Why on earth would a law-abiding, private citizen want anything to do with crypto? Isn't what happened with FTX and Coinbase enough to convince you that crypto is nothing but another variation of a Ponzi scheme? Ever hear of the Greater Fool Theory? You take your hard earned money, and get a wallet full of Bitcoins that are useless for legal purposes, and hope you can find a fool greater than you to buy them for more than you paid. And that's if the crook who sold them to you doesn't just install malware on your device and steal them from you, leaving your kids with no college fund.

    Good luck.

    I understand where your logic is coming from.  But it is actually called the Blockchain, and it is a hard concept to get your mind around - it took me years.  Currently it's under attack.  If we don't get Fiat currency out, we will only see the same.  We have never proposed to end Fiat currency.  FTX - Coinbase were set up by deep states to undermine the Blockchain, and they are non-existent.  It was a joke.  You are your own Bank on Blockchain.  That makes many people angry.  But you have to buy a can of pop to get it done using Blockchain (to succeed).  It's being blocked.  The Banks are not happy.  Government and Banks play Filthy.  Incarceration hasn't stopped us.
    I know what blockchain is. Epiq Angle published an article saying, "Since 2017, public data shows that hackers have stolen around $2 billion in blockchain cryptocurrency. This recent activity illustrates that blockchain is unfortunately not unhackable and users should still be cautious, especially when trading on exchanges." They also demonstrated how it's done:

    I FULLY agree.  DO NOT change on exchanges.  They are Jokes.  Use a Hard Wallet.  They would never know the amount, it was probably greater than $2 Billion so the article is inaccurate.  It's not liked robbing a bank and they know the amount to a penny.  The entire hacking culture is about Jokes.  Blockchain will prevail, but Rome was not built in a day.  Blockchain is NOT being hacked, people are literally giving away money to a guy on the street.  The only obstacle to Blockchain are the globalists, and is a very tough fight, they will turn off the internet if they have too.  We do have a moral code and are not hacking people.  It's the deep state.  I'm not mentally ill. Blockchain has gone after Banks but you will NOT see one report.
