It’s the marketplace of ideas. And we’re discovering that Kanye’s latest ideas have a negative value.

I just checked for the update and my phone said the software was up to date. At the bottom of that same page it said  also: ios15 with the option to install it. I’ve never seen that before. Telling me my software is up to date and also telling me there is new software. 

I'm going to put it off for a while anyway. Nothing particularly compelling in it for what I use my iPhone for so I'll leave it to others to discover the bugs and get a later point release.

That was my thought also. I got the security update last week, roughly. The difference made my wonder if I’m missing something.

Just great.

Sounds like something that Putin would do, considering his pal (crony?) has been voted out of office.

What I want to know is: Was this a zero-day, or was treasury behind on their maintenance?

If behind, someone needs to pay with his career.

Microsoft to DOJ: You should look in Apple's app store.

Me: You should look into the vulnerabilities using Microsoft software exposes you to.

Haha. Please. Do you really believe all hacking that goes on around the world is directed by the countries the hackers reside in? There are enclaves of workaday hackers all over the world, in addition to the high-level hacking work being done by people in government.

The reports say that it was a sophisticated attack and likely state directed. And that Russia is the main suspect. But since everyone knows trump would never stand up to Putin, we should expect knee jerk denial by trump and his followers on those points. 

It's either China or Russia I'm guessing. Your Trump comment is ridiculous. Trump sold lethal aid to Ukraine, something that angered Putin and something Obama didn't have the balls to do. So is that not standing up to Putin? 

That was the aid trump was holding up for political purposes, holding it up also helped Putin. The aid only got released when a whistleblower went public. So no that doesn’t sound like standing up to him.

I am confused.  How does this remote work?

More correctly stated:  How do you hold this remote - orientation wise?  Does the power button go at the top or the bottom?  I wish it was as clear and obvious as the Apple remote...

Well there’s a couple options for you. You could take a cue from the picture provided. There’s a pretty good chance that they took the picture with the power button at top because that is how it is supposed to be oriented. If you distrust the photographer and you’re one of those people who reads things, the buttons with the words “guide” and “menu” shouldn’t be upside down when your holding it. One last possibility is to use the pictograms on the remote that show a microphone and a television, both of those shouldn’t be upside down when holding the remote.
