    "The aforementioned A15 Bionic camera has nearly 15 billion transistors and a new six-core CPU design..."

    Wow, a new type of camera!

  • What you need to know: Apple's iCloud Photos and Messages child safety initiatives

    The more I think about this story, and read about it, the more I’m not okay with what Apple is doing.

    The point of end to end encryption is so people can’t analyze our data, check through it. This software update does all of that, it just does it right on our phones, before it’s even had a chance to be encrypted. And then sends out a warning if it flags something, even sending a low resolution photo of our own content, with zero encryption. Why would Apple think we were any more ok with them scanning our private data before it was encrypted, as opposed to scanned on their own servers with the same code?

  • 'M2' chip to arrive in early 2022 in a colorful MacBook Air, says leaker

    New colours is probably the last thing I want on a new laptop. Sure, please add stellar gray, but other than that - just leave it alone.

    I'm waiting for a new laptop, but don't need one right away. The first thing that comes to mind is that both the MacBook Pro and the MacBook Air need better front facing cameras. Previously, I didn't really care that much... but the last 16 months have been filled with online meetings, and I expect that to continue to be important - hopefully less so, but more than in the past. The cameras are pretty bad, because Apple didn't care either. Hopefully, the last year and a half have given them time to fix that... even though we see that there is some lag, in that many devices just support FaceID and don't include the new Touch ID on the side button. With hardware and a large company, it takes time before a need translates into changes in upcoming products.

    I like the idea of going fanless, so MBA is the front runner on that account - I don't use the touchbar much on my current MacBook Pro, and sustained performance isn't that important. But I will have to wait and see for the next gen for a better camera.

    Also, with Apple now building their own CPUs I'm also thinking that Q3 is not a good time to buy a laptop, just as that's a bad time to buy a new iPhone. 
    Hold on, let me get my notepad out...... ok you said no new colors? OK, got it, and you said you don't care about front facing cameras? OK. Oh wait, you said you changed your mind on that, OK we'll get those better cameras in there...

  • Stutter charity calls out Apple for 'stammering' emoji gaffe

    daveinpublicdaveinpublic
    Stammer can be used to describe when people do a one time stutter because they're confused or nervous. While I get what this group is saying, they don't get to change the meaning of the word stammer. They don't now 'own' that word.
