EU law will force Apple to blow open its entire hardware and software stack
To me, this just looks like a disguised way for governments to get the back doors they are always looking for. I don’t care which government is involved. I don’t care if you love or loathe them. This just looks like an attempt to gain access to private APIs in order to exploit them, with the usual plausible deniability that will allow for subsequent claims of unintended consequences. -
Amber Alert on AirPods damaged teenager's hearing, lawsuit claims
I agree with the first two commenters that it seems implausible that an amber alert, while certainly shrill and unpleasantly loud, could cause an instantaneous rupture as described, when a gun shot or jackhammer do not.That being said, I do think that it should be limited to a far lower sound pressure when using any type of earphones or ear buds. I have the reduce loud sounds limit set to 85dB; but I’m not at all confident that Amber Alerts abide by those limits. -
iPhone belonging to Spanish prime minister was hit with Pegasus spyware
I wonder at what point will high ranking political targets & the entities charged with protecting their secrets have more juice than the collective desires of investigators (whether law enforcement, counter espionage, etc) who always seek to be able to open anything. Given that the US government is willing to criminalize journalism, it seems this issue is close to reaching critical mass.
