  • Usual suspects complain about App Store price hikes outside US

    Epic CEO Tim Sweeney added his own comments to the mix. He compared Apple to a landlord adjusting rent without giving tenants any say in the matter or anywhere else to go.

    "Developers don't want to raise their app prices in the EU and UK," Sweeney said in a follow up tweet. "Consumers don't want app price increases in the EU and UK. Central banks fighting inflation don't want app price inflation."

    What a moron.
    Does your landlord ask for your input before raising your rent?!
    Problem is, there are only two landlords to pick from!

    ps: that “moron” is a billionaire with an amazing set of companies under his belt. Cut the juvenile behavior please.

    So whenever a business is doing badly, just complain about the people who are successful?

    how did this country get here?
    It’s not about that. It’s about a fair playing field. When companies become too powerful, they become the economy instead of operating in the economy. Ironically it then is no longer a free market.

  • Apple delays iCloud Shared Photo Library for later iOS 16 release

    CheeseFreezeCheeseFreeze
    The problem with iCloud Shared Library is that it doesn’t retroactively search the albums of the people who are sharing for duplicates they have.

    For example I shared probably thousands of photos with my wife of our kids. Now we essentially have many duplicates on a “family level”. I would like these to live in a shared album, once.

    I also noticed in the betas it shares photos I don’t want to share. To me the shared library only works in practice if it’s automatic and reliable.

  • Apple's latest security update is important, but the mass-media response is unhinged

    “Apple takes privacy very seriously.” 

    Sure. As long as it doesn’t hurt their wallet. See: China, Russia.

  • All iOS VPNs are worthless and Apple knows it, claims researcher

    Protocols supported

    These devices work with VPN servers that support the following protocols and authentication methods:

    • IKEv2/IPsec with authentication by shared secret, RSA Certificates, Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) Certificates, EAP-MSCHAPv2, or EAP-TLS

    • SSL-VPN using the appropriate client app from the App Store

    • L2TP/IPsec with user authentication by MS-CHAPV2 password and machine authentication by shared secret (iOS, iPadOS, and macOS) and RSA SecurID or CRYPTOCard (macOS only)

    • Cisco IPsec with user authentication by password, RSA SecurID or CRYPTOCard, and machine authentication by shared secret and certificates (macOS only)

    This article mentions VPN generally. The above quote from Apple indicates the VPN protocols supported. I take this to imply there may be certain VPN apps for iOS, iPadOS and MacOS which may not fully protect communications. 
    The article is about VPN and its various protocols in general. The protocols are irrelevant in this discussion.
    What is happening is that on an operating system level the VPN tunnel gets ignored for some data streams and is going through the regular ‘channels’. 
    That isn’t supposed to work like that. VPN turned on, regardless of the protocol, means no data should move outside the tunnel, which is very problematic.
