The concern here is the same as CSAM scanning on the iPhone. It's more than a matter of personal privacy. It's a concern centered on the possibility that an error could result in a law abiding person being reported to law enforcement, which cares more about filling quotas and busting so-called bad guys than anything else.  Having an accused person's time wasted, or worse, being arrested for something they didn't do only because a computer secretly misread a file on their computer is something no citizen of any nation should stand for.  

It was always more than that. The concern was that child abuse was a smoke screen for a broader purpose, eg identifying people that did not agree with an authoritarian government by what pictures they were looking at.

Which was also a horseshit argument. If a hostile government wanted to force Apple to install nefarious software features, why would they need this feature as a smokescreen? And would you expect Apple to comply with something like that?

Why so hostile toward me, and so defensive of file scanning?  ("Horseshit" is a word that indicates hostility toward me, and I do not appreciate it at all.)

Sounds to me like you're the type who wants Big Government to force its hand pretty much anytime you personally feel it is "for the greater good."  That is just as frightening as government getting tip-offs to the content of my hard drive.  If you're happy with file scanning on your devices, great.  But to go beyond that and force everyone else to capitulate to what makes YOU feel good, well, that's a different matter altogether.  And that remains true regardless of what you wish to argue about "hashes."

Look at what was being quoted.... That wasn't your comment. His initial response to you was saying that wasn't how hashes worked at all when you mentioned someone being wrongly accused.

Apple should stop thinking about monitoring anything I do on my iPhone. Its not their business. If they don’t understand this, Apple will loose a lot of business including me (apple fan for years). #nowokeonmyphone

It's lose.. not loose. Give me a break with the woke BS... You don't know what it means so stop using the term. I would hardly call trying to combat abusive child images "woke" it's a bit half baked and a serious intrusion of privacy, but woke?  Hahaha The term has morphed into a completely different meaning and it is silly at this point.

So yet another Disney Pop Tart bursts into the spotlight, makes a ton of money, befriends some really bad people, gets hooked on drugs, has a meltdown, and spends years recovering her sanity and control over her addictions.

And this is branded as "After years in the limelight, Selena Gomez achieves unimaginable stardom. But just as she reaches a new peak, an unexpected turn pulls her into darkness. This uniquely raw and intimate documentary spans her six-year journey into a new light."

This is NOT unique in any way. Unique would be a story like the late Annette Funicello, the OG Disney Mousketeer, who lived her entire life as a role model, never even remotely considering activities that would damage the reputations of Walt Disney, the Disney Corporation, or herself. Disney Corp. has changed, and not for better, now in the business of pimping young girls and then discarding them when they have trouble, just the way the studio system of MGM used to do with performers like Judy Garland or Elizabeth Taylor.

I think most of her stepping away from the spotlight was because of her health, not drugs. She had a kidney transplant in 2017 as well as lupus and myositis currently.

The odds of 2 apple products exploding for 1 person seems highly unlikely. Would be really interested to see if he was using 3rd party chargers. 

I only see one Apple product with a faulty battery mentioned per owner. Also, how would a 3rd-party inductive Watch charger result in a faulty battery? I'm not saying it can't happen, but I'd expect the charging pad to overheat long before the Watch if there was an issue.

Pretty sure investigation will find this to be fake

Why assume they are lying?

Where is the details on the lossless???

So, they support Bluetooth 5.3 which makes them compatible with LC3plus but this isn’t lossless and they haven’t confirmed this is present or coming.

It also mentions 48kHz audio but specifically for SharePlay? I am not sure what that means? Is it that shareplay works via Airplay 2 and not BT so that is how thay are getting to lossless quality ( 48kHz )?

So, have the old rumors of the always-on displays been discarded? Or just forgotten?

What an absolutely awful idea.  I don't want to have to put my phone in a drawer just to be able to sleep.
