  • Apple backs down on CSAM features, postpones launch

    Spying on your customers is not good business or a way to honor a supposed commitment to privacy.

    I have no tolerance or use for people who exploit children - or adults - and would have no problem with the death penalty for such conduct. 

    But that does not justify such a practice as this. This is Apple’s attempt to cave to big brother government that wants your devices under constant surveillance. The potential for this technology to make false accusations and the resulting destruction of reputation is immense. Once your reputation is damaged by such an accusation it is simply beyond restoration - you will always be suspect.

    The privacy of our digital devices has been litigated to death and the current Chief Justice of the Supreme Court wrote the opinion telling the Donut Patrol to get a warrant. He stated that our digital devices have essentially become extensions of our homes in regards to privacy and that should extend to the iCloud service. The cops want to sit back, surveil you 24/7/365 and that is not what our laws say our rights are. The cops need to get back to good old fashioned police work and stop trying to create Orwell’s Telescreen with our phones.

  • Police, GreyShift struggle to keep iPhone unlocking tool purchases secret

    The police should not be able to buy technology and agree to NDAs as to the existence of them. Same for the fake cell towers that spoof cell towers and suck up all the data in a geographic area. 
    The public has a right to know what public money is being spent upon.

  • macOS Monterey is now available for public beta testers

    Already hating the new tab system. It creates a problem where there was none.

    Apple needs a thinner AirTag for wallets as Tile makes.

  • Apple unveils macOS Monterey at WWDC 2021

    I hope the tab system in Monterey's Safari is something that can be turned off in favor of proper tabs.

    The thinking behind this reflects the processes of a mobile OS - not a desktop.
