iMac could have been made without a chin, proves new hack
Yeah, and it could have been in the shape of a tulip. It could have been a million different ways. Maybe armchair designers could also get past the immense crowd of other applicants, get the job at Apple, go through the endless meetings, and work out production. Finally, with everything signed off, they could reach that nirvana stage of a completed project. It’d be a beautiful experience. The few, the exhausted, the presumedly well paid, the Apple design team. A group of people with one goal, no—not work on your craft, yes—please absolutely everyone. You must accept the delusion of that dream. You must be responsible for each and every customers complete satisfaction and mental health. This is Apple, you must do more than design a product, you must create heaven on earth, and no less.

Apple's CSAM detection system may not be perfect, but it is inevitable
To me, being in favor of CSAM scanning on someone’s phone, or on iCloud, is equivalent to being in favor of having your home searched at law enforcement’s convenience… just because they can, not because the person is guilty of anything at all.Just because a technology is available or possible doesn’t make it a good idea, or even an adequate idea. I’m pretty sure the “innocent until proven guilty” concept is considered a positive aspiration of the legal system.My only purpose in buying a phone or computer is to solve my work needs or to use apps. I don’t buy it to have government intrusion. It’s astonishing that this big company that supposedly supports privacy has decided to actively pursue technology that reduces it.There is certainly a slippery slope, where unscrupulous governments will push and push. Elements of this already happen in China, where the grey areas of allowed apps for example are controlled by the government in power, even if it hurts the citizens.Corporations generally are in business to make money. I have supported Apple, in part, because they usually appear to also contribute to the world in positive ways. This is not positive. And there aren’t viable alternatives.

Tim Cook is concerned that slow erosion of privacy is a big danger
He’s right. At least there’s one prominent corporate leader saying this out loud, and actually doing something about it in popular products, for large numbers of people.

New HomePod model coming as soon as late 2022, according to Ming-Chi Kuo
Not sure why the article author decided to include “overpriced” in the description. That’s pretty subjective for an informational story. And a big distraction when reading.

EU law will force Apple to blow open its entire hardware and software stack
Dictating features and product design (that is not safety related) by a governmental body is ridiculous. Governments generally suck at questions of technology. And last time I checked Apple products are immensely popular as the company has chosen to design them. The ‘walled garden’ is something that I as a consumer has chosen to support. I definitely don’t want the EU or China or the US government for that matter trying to legislate product design and features. It’s a massive overstep. It’s just like the ‘backdoor’ that governments have been trying to manipulate into happening. This proposed law will take away my freedom to choose the product I want.
