  • iOS 18 to debut Apple Passwords app

    I just discovered that the Passwords built into Settings supports Verification Codes. Not sure how I missed that. I've been slowly migrating all of my codes from the Google Authenticator app over to Passwords. The fact that these codes work seamlessly across macOS and iOS gives me exactly what I need. No more reaching for my phone every time I need to log into a site.

    I wish they called it Keychain to replace the Keychain Access app, but the dumbification of iOS and macOS continues...

    Soon, Safari will be renamed to "Web Browser".

    First, a reminder that "the cloud" does not exist, it's just putting your stuff on somebody else's computer.

    Second, a reminder that Little Snitch exists, and should always be used with all Adobe products, pirated or otherwise.

    That's technically not valid. 

    The cloud refers to infrastructure on the internet that is partially or wholly distributed globally. Any service that offers automatic replication across multiple data centers is a "cloud" service. This is very common, and forms the backbone of redundancy and resiliency.

    You can be assured that Adobe's apps are not on "some computer". They are replicated broadly.

    Regarding Little Snitch, fair point, but doesn't really have anything to do with his article, or offer any protection against a license that a user has voluntarily agreed to.

    Isn't it odd that extreme conservatives seem to take the clown emoji personally. Personally I would not care.
    Not odd at all. It's a reminder of who they follow.

  • Nine-core M4 iPad Pro benchmarks leak, still smokes M2

    Yeah I’m hoping for Mac Mini & Mac Studio - certainly not buying M2 versions… 

    I await when the day when Apple returns to the "Available Today" for the entire Consumer and Pro lineups. Won't happen, since marketing drives the ship nowadays, and spreading these releases throughout the year has its advantages, but would be nice.
