Apple cancelled encrypted iCloud plans after the FBI complained
What about the Keychain data — is that also accessible to Apple and therefore US gov? If yes, then you are basically saying we should keep strong passwords for our encrypted data in our memory or on a post-it note.mjtomlin said:Apple already encrypts your data just as every other online storage service does.They just happen to have the key to decrypt it.If you’re that paranoid, you can encrypt your own data before you put on iCloud. Apple cannot decrypt that and hand it over.

Apple cancelled encrypted iCloud plans after the FBI complained
Not in my home country, but my data still resides on the data centers that the US gov can order to be disclosed. This is a major flaw.Mike Wuerthele said:
There are several court orders in that case.sdw2001 said:I think this is probably a reasonable decision by Apple. They need to be able to comply with subpoenas and warrants, which DOJ should have to get to unlock devices like they're requesting. The issue I have is that I don't think there is a court order in the Pensacola case. There needs to be one. -
Developer of BlueMail sues Apple over 'Sign in with Apple,' App Store 'monopoly'
For that to work you should bend “forward”, right? 🤪foljs said:Would you just bend over backwards, take it in the ass, and surrender your prior work?

You need a backup plan before you move to macOS Catalina
Were your Documents and Desktop folders residing on iCloud or stored locally when Catalina wiped them?bloggerblog said:Yes you need to seriously consider backing up this time.
I have been on the Beta program forever and never lost data. Catalina was a different story, it wiped out my entire Documents folder and desktop. Luckily I backup on the iCloud so all I need to do is reinstall my apps. My work laptop is a separate device. -
Apple considering micro LED display for 2020 Apple Watch
Would really hate for this tech to be shortened “mLED” since the “m” prefix is already reserved for “milli”. µLED would be a much better, and correct, abbreviation.1STnTENDERBITS said:2016- mLED possibly coming to Apple Watch in 2017 https://appleinsider.com/articles/16/06/24/rumor-apple-developing-power-efficient-micro-led-panels-for-2017-apple-watch

2019- mLED possibly coming to Apple Watch in 2020 - this article.
Erbody just guessin'. Eventually someone will be right... unless mLED turns out to be not viable like AirPower or mass production of sapphire glass screens. My personal guess is this will be true mid 2022-2023 for the Apple Watch. Late 2021-Early 2022 for Oppo, Xiaomi, or another of the Chinese brands. Early 2022-2023 for Samsung. Look at that... I am an analyst.
