Anyone who knows a thing or two about ML knows that Ai doesn’t exist. The most optimistic ML engineer will tell you it’s probably 10 to 40 years away.

Another huge failure for Apple. So where are the Samsung ads making fun of AirPod users?

C'mon man.  Give the persecution complex a rest for at least one thread.   Sweet Jeebus.

On topic:  If Munster has lost 10 pair and a charging case, the issue is Munster more so than the AirPod.  He needs to invest in those cheap straps.

Oh, so you’re saying that Apple is not the target of unceasing, malicious persecution from battalions of tech and financial writers who twist, spin, and mold everything Apple into a negative just to get clicks? 

No, what I'm asking is for you to give it rest... at least for a single thread.  I thought that was pretty clear.  You enter almost every thread with the same woe is me tale of someone attacking the precious.  You never contribute positively to any thread you enter.  No general knowledge, no interesting anecdote, no humorous aside, no perfectly timed "well actually" [pushes up glasses] - who doesn't like to correct their fellow man, no hmmm, I did not know that... nothing except the same tired refrain of OMG somebody somewhere at some point said something about Apple that wasn't 100% flattering.  

Take this article for instance.  There's nothing in it disparaging Apple or the AirPods.  It's simple a collection of anecdotal tidbits about the tribulations of using AirPods in the crowded NYC subway system with a bonus splash of Gene Munster weirdness.  Nothing connected to this article even suggests a failure by Apple.  Yet you've found a way to make the claim. Why? And yes, I am saying Apple is not the target of unceasing malicious persecution.  That's nothing more that excessive hyperbole.  Are there articles written that are negative about Apple?  Yeah sure there are.  Criticize them until the cows come home. But grinding every thread with the somebody's picking on Apple meme... that's an lkrupp thing, not an Apple thing.  Even in comments where you're trying to compliment Apple you can't seem to stop yourself from taking a dig at some perceived slight from some imaginary foe.  By all means, you do you.  Just sayin', some new material every now and then would be really appreciated.

Obvious Question: Which websites?

Various implant commands enable the attackers to steal the container directories of third-party apps. The implant contains a hardcoded list of apps which will always have their container directories uploaded when the implant starts up. Here’s the pre-populated list of bundle identifiers for third-party apps, which will always have their container directories uploaded if the apps are installed:

com.yahoo.Aerogram

com.microsoft.Office.Outlook

com.netease.mailmaster

com.rebelvox.voxer-lite

com.viber

com.google.Gmail

ph.telegra.Telegraph

com.tencent.qqmail

com.atebits.Tweetie2

net.whatsapp.WhatsApp

com.skype.skype

com.facebook.Facebook

com.tencent.xin

….

Obvious: do not use Facebook, Google and Microsoft, whats new?

Aren't those spoof sites? Com. or Net. before the website instead of after? 

As answered below (by Asdasd): domain names read backwards.
But spoofed or not my remark still stands.

A) Using Facebook, Google, or Microsoft has absolutely nothing to do with this exploit beyond being additional data targets on the device, or the ability to access those services using that data by the attackers. and B ) They're not domain names read backwards, they're bundle identifiers for apps installed on the device, the list of which can be added to — so you might as well "don't use any apps on your iPhone" which would still not mitigate the threat of every other bit of data on your phone from being uploaded to the attacker.

You should really change your handle.
