  • New iPads Pro, iPad Air, and USB-C accessories expected in early May

    I’m curious, what are the main factors that make people consider a Mac before an iPad?

    For me, it’s primarily the lack of AppleScript and XCode in iOS, and possibly some missing functions in the iWork suite. Also, the precision of moving and positioning graphic objects work better with a mouse in macOS than a pencil (or mouse) in iOS.

  • Apple Silicon vulnerability leaks encryption keys, and can't be patched easily

    This sounds like a vulnerability that's a consequence of the interface designers trying to minimize the amount of required programming memory required by overloading a function call parameter so its type has to be implicitly interpreted by the runtime, as opposed to be enforced at compile time. In this case the malicious code is given an easy way to access protected memory that it should not be able to access…
    No, this is not how it works. DMPs focus on optimizing memory access patterns and do not involve themselves with the types of data being pre-fetched. Type checking and data integrity belong to high-level programming languages and are managed at higher levels of the system architecture. This doesn’t directly apply in the context of DMPs and their low-level hardware operations. DMPs are concerned with patterns of memory access, rather than the semantic meaning or the type of data being accessed.

    When it comes to overall data integrity and type safety however, it is the duty of the entire system to ensure these are maintained. This responsibility is typically handled by the combination of the CPU’s architecture, the OS, and the application software running on the system.

  • New macOS Sonoma 14.4 bug kills file versions in iCloud Drive

    If this bug with Optimize Mac Storage is true, it’s a fkn disaster …of the worst kind. This means you could have lost any number of files across random locations on your iCloud storage, which is quite possibly your only storage.

    Google on my iPhone? That’s never ever going to happen. Even if that means saying goodbye to Apple after 36 years. No way.
    Yeah, let’s switch to Android
    …No wait

    AI on the edge (Apples path) is the way to go however only in the first world would Google, and Microsoft think a cloud solution where everyone in theory has access to 24/7 internet/WiFi connection at speed with giant cell towers every mile, note both are weak in hardware and both particularly Google want to collect user data.

    That’s a really long sentence
