If you own the encryption keys you cannot prevent the government from getting to those keys. Any government on this planet can get those keys if you possess them. So if Telegram owns user keys then it deserves to be treated like that and it must comply with the court order. Apple doesn’t possess any user key, the keys are embedded in users’ devices and Apple has no access to those. This is why governments cannot get any key from Apple by court order or by law. Apple is not at the position of struggling with any government or any court, it just strives to maintain high level good business practices.

OK that is equivalent to admitting that the OLED has no future, at least without Quantum Dot. Red and Green subpixels are OLED, the Blue subpixel is Quantum Dot. What I understand from that it is the Blue OLED that fails first. As stated in the patent "[0020]...Red and green phosphorescent OLED devices have high efficiencies, saturated colors, and acceptable lifetimes. For blue phosphorescent materials, however, available materials tend to have unacceptably short lifetime, unsaturated colors, or both."

Theoretically you can get malware from any website that displays ads. So running an ad blocker is of crucial importance not because ads are annoying, but because those ad networks are unable to cure and disinfect their network against malware. So those cocky websites that order you to turn off your ad blocker are actually asking you to disable your computer’s malware protection. 

1) Please please please disable Safari’s “open safe files after downloading” option. That option appears to be On in every update of Safari or macOS. Check that after every update and disable it. You cannot prevent the download of the malware payload on your Mac via an ad, that happens in a blink. The ad system is so primitive that it does not discriminate between “display” and “download”. But you can prevent the launch of that payload by disabling that Safari option. Most common form of the malware payload was the Installer package format “.pkg”, but I recently saw a disk image “.dmg” format as well !

2) Stay clear of those web sites with questionable / pirated content. Since the main venue for Mac malware is the web, that should not require further explanation. Stay clear of Usenet and torrent sites as well.

At first, and depending on the render, I wasn't sure if I liked the camera placement setup.

Over time I've reached the conclusion that something seems wrong. It seems lopsided.

There was talk of making them less visible in the final product. I hope that's the case.

Take an Engineering Physics course on Optics then come back and comment. You'll realize the reason for this array once you understand the laws of optics. They are attempting to create a DSLR capable lens array inside a phone.

Are you suggesting that the Mate 20 Pro was designed by people who don't understand engineering physics? Huawei's imaging division is currently setting the pace in this area, but you never know, someone up there in Finland might know something about this subject.

You have no idea what Apple is 'trying to create'. The phone doesn't exist yet and all you have is rumour to play off.

And I will restate what I said above. I am talking about the square and its placement - not how the cameras are placed within it.

Do you work for Huawei or something? You seem to do a lot of advertising for them here.

No affiliation with any company. Simply that Huawei has now become one of Apple's biggest competitors and is appearing (both directly and indirectly) in a lot of Apple related news.

As I happen to know a bit about Huawei I can give an opinion and correct much of the misinformation that some people here put out.

Also, a lot of the rumours on new Apple products for 2019 are relative to ideas Huawei has already brought to market.

In this thread it is imaging and tri-camera setups. In fact these rumours paint the picture of the exact same 'square but with rounded corners' grouping as used by Huawei last year. So when someone made the sarcastic comment on engineering physics, the easiest way to nip that in the bud was to point out what Huawei had done - but with a different placement.

Most of the Apple rumours of late like reverse charging, Night Mode, 5G modems etc were first brought to market by Huawei so there is an immediate connection there.

However, I rarely, if ever, jump in with a Huawei reference just for the sake of it. More often than not, it is to correct something that appears in the comments.

If these advances were on Samsung products I would have little to add as I have no experience with Samsung phones.

Unfortunately some people here don't do the same when it comes to Huawei.

MP3 players too were first brought to market by other brands but that didn’t prevent iPods to dominate. So being first is not a criterion and never a sign of some kind of “leadership”. Being a “competitor” in saturated market conditions is not an achievement, either. You can also read that as Huawei could become an Apple competitor only after the market is fully saturated. Apple holds the keys to several “growth paths”, as in the iPads, Macs, wearables and Home products. Adding a third camera to an already fully exploited and exhausted form factor will not bring growth, even Huawei knows that and they really and sincerely try to sell their 5G modem stock to Apple before the 5G market fully proliferates in a few years and that initial modem stock explodes in their hands.

Since they sell plans per device, it is understandable that they distinguish between devices. Besides, AirPlay to an Apple TV doesn't make sense: you download to your mobile device via wi-fi, then AirPlay to the Apple TV over the same wi-fi, unnecessary two way traffic that would reduce playback quality. Why not use the Netflix app on the Apple TV instead? It syncs perfectly between devices, you can also hard-wire your Apple TV directly to your router via Ethernet. That policy may only affect TV sets with AirPlay but without the Netflix app. The solution appears to be the usual one: buy the dumbest TV you can tolerate and attach an Apple TV. So AirPlay implemented on a TV without tvOS is useless, it may help you to AirPlay YouTube from your mobile device but such TVs may already have YouTube.

The device that is streaming via AirPlay is the device.  AirPlay can only stream to one device at a time so there is no need to distinguish between different TVs for that purpose.  If that was the case Netflix would have stated so instead of relying on an explanation that is more dubious on its face.

Moreover, there is no need to distinguish the type of device for this purpose. The only thing that is relevant is the number of devices.

Apparently Netflix doesn't think so. Device is a wrong term I used, Netflix sells subscription per screen. What is their point I don't know. I suspect it is the recording, this is why they need to inspect not the subscribed device but the screen itself to see whether it is a dumb screen or a recording port. You cannot record Netflix on Quicktime Player for example, they detect that this is not a screen.

Netflix plans are per device, not per screen.

Their help pages talk differently then. Because their account page clearly says "screen" not device:
"Watch on 4 screens at a time. HD and Ultra HD available. Download videos on 4 phones or tablets."
