Does this hacking tool assume device owners turn the max attempts feature off?

Without a limit on the number of attempts and an escalating wait period between attempts, pretty much any passcode is hackable given enough time.

Mmmm??? 

I’m assuming that is the agent installed with 2-3% battery left that is dealing with that. If not, then yah it is going to be tough. 

The same Jamf that would lock up my mac every time I did a ‘carthage update’? Yah I’m still good.

Makes sense, as Apple Watch is heavily used for sports and outdoors. 

Actually, its the opposite.   The Apple Watch is already well suited to sports and outdoor activities.

So:  Please point out any weaknesses you perceive that it has in that area because I am simply not aware of any except scratching of the crystal -- which can be limited with a sapphire crystal which is already available for those who want to pay for it.

In fact, with fall detection and LTE, I feel far safer going outdoors with my watch.  In fact, I do not feel safe without it.   So, even if it were too delicate for outdoor use (which it isn't), those benefits would likely take precedence over any perceived weakness.

Personally I’m on my third watch for motocross. First wreck in sand scratched the screen so bad it wouldn’t register touches correctly anymore and second was a rock to the screen. I tried the cases but the cases on the 38/40 is already a bit big for my wrist during activity — seems to always hit my wrist bone, where as the bare watch does not.

If Apple decides to use M1 chips made by Intel, will Apple have to put those big blue stickers on their Macs that say "Intel Inside"?

Can’t tell if serious. They didn’t on current line of macs that have intel.

jokes aside, US gov should either help TSMC build R&D centers and factories in the US, and/or companies like Apple should help save domestic chip manufacturing

TSMC already has a fab in Camas, WA and they are building one out in AZ. Maybe build out another... if there is still demand after the AZ one is done (I know it’s getting close).
