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

    You think there are photos of drugs being circulated amongst drug users and suppliers?  Or photos of terrorisms being circulated amongst terror groups?  For the most part that's not really how those groups work.  Child abuse networks however have been shown many times over to be disseminators of vast amounts of media of child abuse.
    So what? Forget drug or terrorism or immigration related photos and replace it with CSAM or <insert any database here>.

    The point is the statutory nature such a scheme may easily acquire after Apple elaborately implements it and the Government more elaborately makes it into law, for whatever hash database at their discretion. The citizens won’t have any control on these statutory databases and then will have to fight at the courts for civil liberties.

  • Apple attorneys threaten UK market exit if court orders 'unacceptable' patent fees

    If Apple invests that 7 billion dollars elsewhere that would bring much more profits than selling iPhones in the good old UK.

    Wow. FileMaker got real expensive real quick. 
    Most people have dumped FileMaker for more powerful and free solutions like php or Ruby etc.  So FileMaker really jacked up their pricing. Their upgrades also got so buggy people stopped upgrading so they had to start charging per user per month. 
    Most people may have dumped FMP for those because it is easier to impress the client by bragging about thousands of lines of deep spaghetti code. With FMP it is just a correct database schema and a few dozen script steps.

  • Apple Music defaults to non-Spatial Audio downloads, forces deletion or re-download

    macplusplusmacplusplus

    ...
    Apple Music subscribers who have massive offline libraries -- and who want to enjoy Spatial Audio -- will soon be faced with the bothersome task of re-downloading Dolby Atmos tracks.


    Delete all your downloaded music at once by going to Settings / Music / Downloaded Music / All Tracks then edit and delete.

    See? It is not bothersome at all.
