  • Apple expanding child safety features across iMessage, Siri, iCloud Photos

    chris-netchris-net
    For a very long time I’ve trusted Apple to do the right thing. 

    They’ve been prepared to make difficult decisions to maintain and enhance that trust. 

    They’ve now stepped over that line. 

    I’ve been paying them for decades for what amounts to surveillance systems I’ve placed in my home, carry with me everywhere and perform my secure and private work, correspondence etc on.

    I’ve justified paying a premium for apple kit because I trusted them that everything was private and remained private. 

    That is now not the case. 

    Apple are now enabling algorithms to judge me.  Every photo I take will be judged for approval. Every Siri request I make will be judged, every internet search I make I will be judged. 

    It used to be that those convicted of crimes where subject to having their electronic activities scrutinised, now everyone everywhere will be scrutinised. 

    I no longer trust Apple in my home or holding my families data.

    the biggest fear is when something goes wrong. 

    People and systems make mistakes. People don’t care when mIntakes happen to other people.

    no one is interested when mistakes happen to you, no smoke without fire etc etc etc.

  • UK Apple TV viewers blocked from seeing key football match

    No.

    ITV is not funded by the TV Licence.  That’s the BBC.  No need to have a TV licence to watch ITV.

    and in the original article….Penalty time?  Really? 

    The law says you need to be covered by a TV Licence to:

    • watch or record programmes as they’re being shown on TV, on any channel
    • watch or stream programmes live on an online TV service (such as ITV Hub, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now TV, Sky Go, etc.)
    • download or watch any BBC programmes on BBC iPlayer.

  • How Apple iCloud Private Relay works

    chris-netchris-net
    In iOS safari how do I see the certificate details of the site I’ve visited?

    apple states proxies, either I’m being ssl bridged across both relay proxies or the proxies are serving their own certs to safari.

    inspecting the cert served to safari would be a good clue.

  • Compared: 24-inch M1 iMac vs 21.5-inch and 27-inch Intel iMac

    chris-netchris-net
    I was actually expecting a more powerful M1, maybe more cores and definitely more RAM. 

    maybe they could have just made them all 16GB but 1 model with 4 more cores than the other?

    M1 has been about for 6 months now, will M2 arrive in November or will we wait till 2022 for new M’s?

    with iPads, Mac mini’s, airs & iMacs on M1 that effectively covers the normal stuff. 

    Just the pro labelled stuff to go now. That better not be M1 too.
