  • iPhones on iOS 18.1 will automatically reboot and lock down after being idle for a while

    "I would bet that rebooting after a reasonable inactivity period probably doesn't inconvenience anyone, but does make your phone a lot more secure," Green added. "So it seems like a pretty good idea."

    What I don't like about these "pretty good ideas" is that I have no voice in the matter. Someone far away has decided they can think for me and deduce that I want this restriction and that it has to be good for me. As youth of a few years back would aggressively respond, I say "You don't know me! " It's beyond arrogant. It would be like deciding nobody really needs the last two key on a piano, so we'll just disabke them. Most of the people can continue to play just fine, so we will make this the standard for everyone with our remote piano key disable feature.


    You neglected to mention, while on your soapbox, why this feature would inconvenience you?  Also, your analogy doesn't work.  Apple didn't take anything away.  They added a feature...more like ADDING a key to a piano, except that, in this case, I think more people approve of this security feature than are like you and are mysteriously complaining about it.

    248 years was a good run. 

    Are we finally getting a right to repair law passed?
    Medi-cell.  Government-assistance program for low income people with broken phones.  Unfortunately, #47 isn't interested in helping anyone worth less than 7 figures, so the program will be cancelled due to lack of funding.  /s

    Silencing other people's rights to lawful speech. Why am I not surprised?
    You shouldn't be if you live in Florida, Texas or other MAGA states that have outlawed certain speech.

    So they want me to give my personal and credit card information to yet another third party?

    No thanks.
    Spare me.  Your address and phone number are probably all over the internet already.  Your CC info isn't a secret.  Do you hand it to a total stranger at a restaurant and they walk away with it, out of sight?  Do you only online shop at one establishment?

    Everyone is so dramatic.

  • System admins irate at Apple's plan for shorter cert lifespans

    I can understand why. This shortening will just increase overhead and not contribute to better security.
    Contributing to better security is exactly why Apple (and others) want it done.
    Have you ever upgraded a SSL cert on servers?  Some are an outright nightmare.  The problem is there is no standard for installing them.
