Great way to up the budget for BlackOps and counter the erosion of trust in the dollar in one fell swoop… …there are agencies with the means and the motivation to do something like that outside what’s traditionally considered criminal circles.

Without x86 emulation, this is going to be useless on M-series Macs. Windows emulation is essentially barely necessary anymore these days, plenty of native apps on the Mac. But the access to legacy operating systems and apps, to access old documen…

“Apple says it will not allow governments or other entities to coerce it into changing the technology to scan for other items such as terrorism.” Nice intentions… …not worth the bits they are written with. I just want to see Cook explain to shareh…

Really annoying! The whole point of a sandboxed emulator is that it’s secure. There’s no danger for system security from running legacy software. There’s a variety of old DOS apps, that I like to run, to open old files, etc. iDOS was ideal for…

Such things are always passed in the guise of things that make those who object them look like monsters: child abuse, terrorism, etc. In reality, once the infrastructure is in place, Apple won’t be able to resist political pressures. China may forc…

I hear echos of Minority Report… Going to be fun for security researchers, journalists, whistleblowers, law enforcement officers: how will the system distinguish between holding evidence and peddling?

May not all be for iPhones. Apple may just want to cut down on CPU diversity, and throw the A15 into all the iPads, aTV, iPhones, homePods, and call it a day, being able to fluidly shift CPUs between the various product lines to match demands. As CP…

Sure, they are 100% correct. The question is, whose laws? In Nazi Germany law abiding citizens had nothing to fear, either; it was just that the laws were written in a way that was atrocious, In pre-abolishionist US, law abiding citizens had nothing…

Hm, not sure what that does to thermal management… …leather is a pretty good insulator.

Apple must make a distinction between loading app running natively, and emulation within the sandbox of an emulator. Every Game that load additional levels from an external file does in essence the same thing. For similarly stupid reasons I can’t …

About time! It’s ridiculous what outrageously unscientific crap is disseminated about health related topics online. The anti-vaxxer crap is only a small part of it. It’s ludicrous that companies like Apple must go through all sorts of regulatory hu…

Will it work with other MagSafe accessories? i.e. will the phone/battery combination stick to a MagSafe car phone holder? will the MagSafe wallet stick to the back of the battery?

mr lizard said: “Apple also recommends that users avoid getting any moisture in device openings” So much for that IP68 rating. The IP68 rating is for distilled water, like rain water. It’s good enough to cover most lake or tap waters, it…

The ridiculousness of USB-C is measured in three ways: 1) the fragility of the contact. I have a high quality OWC TB3 cable running from my laptop to an OWC TB3 dock. But if I only as much as look at my MBP the wrong way, all disks disconnect. Ther…
