  • Cellebrite says it can pull data from any iOS device ever made

    It doesn't have any impact whatsoever on 99.8% of users IMO. TBH there's almost certainly going to be those rare instances where an already illegal activity and being able to access that person's a data may actually save lives and property. Personally it would be nothing I'd have even a second's concern about. I'm also sure that there's that segment who has so little to worry about in their lives that they'll create a mountain of hand-wringing concern over it for lack of anything else.

    Most folks really do have far more important issues to deal with, things that personally affect their lives. This isn't one of them. 

    Just my 2 cents.

    [...] We all have our own personal takes on the media that we consume. 
    So you’re saying that you may interpret whatever I say however you want, regardless of my intent?

    Misunderstandings happen, but when someone tells you “That’s not what I meant” you don’t get to decide “Yes it is.”

    What I mean when I say something is NOT subject to your interpretation, and neither is what media outlets report.

    No, 40% margin on a cost of $2000 is $3333 retail.

    The “40%” figure is 40% of the retail price, not the cost. 40% of 3,333 is 1,333.

    Subtract that from the retail price and you’re left with the cost: 3,333 - 1,333 = 2,000.

  • Review: OWC ThunderBlade provides silent & fast Thunderbolt 3 storage

    Two questions:

    1. What mode was the drive in for the speed tests? I get roughly the same speed from a single M.2 drive. Seems like four of ‘em should be a lot faster.

    2. Is the power brick required to run the drive? Will the power from a Thunderbolt port on the MacBook Pro be enough to run the drive?
    It was the default MacOS Extended (Journaled) and yes, the power brick is required.
    I was inquiring about the mode, not the format. I’m guessing JBOD and not a RAID configuration? Did it show 4 separate drives on your desktop? 
    It was RAID 0 as we talked about in the review. Going for peak performance.
    I still don’t see where the article says you used RAID 0 for testing, but thanks!
