  • Open letter asks Apple not to implement Child Safety measures

    Apple should shut down iCloud instead of developing a mass surveillance method for the government.

    You have the option of doing that yourself.  Apple doesn't have to eliminate it for everybody -- they simply gave everybody the option to do so if they wished.

    The ”good guys” turning off iCloud does not solve the actual problem of the “bad guys” storing their photos in Apple’s iCloud.

    Assuming we believe CSAM is a something that needs tackling, the only other workable option I can see would be to shut down iCloud photos.

    This would have the considerable disadvantage of having to store all our photos on device but this was how it used to be (in the good old days) then the "bad guys" photos would be stored safely on their own devices.


    The only ones who fear storing stuff on iCloud -- or fear having the government see their "private" stuff -- are, as you call them, the "Bad guys",

    They can see all of mine that they want to.  They'll be bored to death.
    Lol, if they would see my “private” stuff then it would be the ultimate snooze fest for sure. Although I do have an encrypted hard drive, it is not that I’m doing anything wrong, it is where I store all of my financial statements and also now, unfortunately for me, my end of life documentation as well since I was diagnosed with terminal cancer back in January. My wife and daughter know where I keep the password at but it is still “my private stuff” and no way do I need anyone besides me presently and when my life ends seeing this except wife and daughter. A lot of private thoughts are there.

  • Apple warns against AirTag replacement batteries with bitter coatings

    this just seems like a stupid oversight from Apples side. I guess there will be a quick rev 2.0. No big deal, just hope no one is getting hurt in the meantime.
    Not a stupid oversight on Apple's part. A stupid overreaction on Oz's part. No rev 2 with a screw or glue. Just use common sense (an oxymoron for some people) and keep small choking hazards away from children.

    Warning: AirTag, the battery cover, and the battery might present a choking hazard or cause other injury to small children. Keep these items away from small children.

    You _really_ don't get it, do you? The tag is specifically made to be attached to bags and other stuff that are routinely placed on the floor, on chairs and by the bedside where small children can easily reach them. Or on cats and dogs - shouldn't the children be allowed to come near the kittens?
    Companies, including Apple, need to follow some good design rules - not necessarily because you might be sued otherwise (which, I admit, is a stupid practice, but almost exclusively relevant in USA), but because it makes sense to reduce the risks of accidents. This exact problem has been solved in thousands of products by a tiny screw. I bet Apple will find a more elegant solution, but if they can't just add the damn screw.
    Why make such a fuss about Apple f@cking up this?
    Out of curiosity why aren’t you blaming the parents on this? I made it perfectly fine through childhood. You know why? My parents paid attention. Our daughter grew up just fine. How is that, the government must protect us? No no government intervention needed. We took care not to lay small things down. It really is a simple concept. If you can’t watch children because you are self absorbed in your device, maybe don’t have children. Birth control or chemical castration are great. If you think if Apple put a d*** screw in it and it is ugly as all get out, how many people would cry about Apples elegant aesthetics being dragged down. A lot.

    Apple Pay has been one of the best features Apple ever created in iOS, use it all the time. Apple Watch is simply magical.?
    Oh I know. I use it everywhere I can and this will be on a larger scale since it’s eBay. This will be good for Apple and a great thank you goes out to eBay as well.

  • 2022 Mac Pro said to use Intel Ice Lake Xeon W-3300 CPU

    Well I for one am hoping sooner than later for the MBP.  It is seeming and hope to get more clarification early next month from the oncologist’s office that something is spreading quicker than they thought it would. That is one laptop I’d love to get my hands on before it’s time for me to go.

  • Apple hit with patent infringement lawsuit for selling a smart water bottle

    After just reading the initial few pages of the lawsuit, I think they need to find a new lawyer. Employs 'thousands of people..." Would that be 1,000, 10,000, 100,000? Pretty imprecise language for a legal document. As Mknelson pointed out, these are also sold by Amazon, Walmart, and Bed Bath and Beyond in my area. So claiming patent infringement on one retailer, while apparently being alright with the company manufacturing and selling the product through other retail channels likely means the only winner here is the lawyer.
    Apple has the deepest pockets. Why go after a reseller (Apple)  and like the original poster said, Amazon Walmart Bed Bath and Beyond and ignore other resellers. I could see maybe a cease and desist telling Apple and others to quit selling them. Why aren’t they going after the company that made them other than Apple has the deep pockets.
