    Ok but according to the article he ran a ‘Tech Consulting Firm’. 
    If so then he should have known better. He should have understood how to manage this. But from the sound of this all of his critical data was on iCloud. Were there no backups? Despite it being made very clear that iCloud is for file access and is NOT a backup and archiving service? 
    This case should be thrown out. If it isn’t, a good lawyer could dismantle him and his competency on the stand. 
    This kind of boggles the mind doesn't it.

  • 'Severance' editor was all-in on Apple hardware, but not Final Cut Pro

    Before I retired the production area had eight Mac Pross all running Avid. But the editors used FCP at home. Because of licensing and training cost, and it being a government production center, management would only support one editing system software app.

  • WWDC will be on June 9 with iOS 19, Apple Intelligence updates, and more

    Ah for the old days when you go to the Jacob Javits convention center for Mac world, and the Steve Jobs presentation. Then you go home and get some journalist tell you something happened but never did like bouncing a camera off of somebody's  head.

    This particular threat is easy to avoid.

    1. No self-respecting Apple user should be using Google's spyware Chrome to do anything.

    2. If you need a Zoom client, get it from zoom.us (that's the official website). Nowhere else.
    Yes, I quite agree. But then again, if you open an incognito page in Chrome you are in dark mode. 

    So far as Zoom goes I never thought to run Zoom inside of Chrome. 

    But as an Apple aficionado, do remind yourself that Apple has a cohabitation with Google to the tune of $20 Billion. So that when you run an Apple search with an internet access you are going through Apple's/Google's Portal not some proprietary, indie thingamajig like DuckQuackDuack or Wolfram. Or worst yet, Bing :s Schming which is an ocean of garbage. 

    I wouldn't suggest that Google is spyware but more like a GIANT Cookie. But there are multiple ways to squelch that. Also Google Gmail is superb at squashing out spam. If you ever had the misery of using MS Outlook or Gosh  :D forbid Hotmail (yes, some folks still use that) you would know what I mean. 

    I recall the days before Gmail arrived on the scene in the early 2000s like most folks I used Hotmail. For every 20 emails, 18 were spam of the worst kind. A real clogged toilet. 

    So do give credit where it's use: Google~Gmail, Google~Search. Top Class. How they get their revenue? So that you don't pay for Gmail or Search? By surreptitiously marketing your info. Not happy, subscribe to Incogni they will wipe your data from all the many data brokers out there. 

     
    All the crap I get is from gmail.
