  • Eve Systems launches first dedicated HomeKit Secure Video camera

     I have reasonable trust that Apple can keep the video recordings private and cannot be hacked. I do not have a similar trust level that all the other vendors of security cams ( especially the budget ones) can maintain a similar level of security.

  • Apple will enforce app notarization for macOS Catalina in February

    This kind of behavior from Apple is precisely why we haven't "upgraded" our 20 Macs to Catalina at our software dev firm. Clearly we won't be upgrading now until we can see more clearly Apple's roadmap and if we need to take other precautions. We will *NOT* allow ourselves to be controlled like this by an operating system that feels like it has some duty to enforce these kinds of "protections" for its users. It is not what we nor anyone we know wants.

    Shame be upon you Apple for losing your way under this guise or facade you've set forth. Mojave might be our OS of choice for the next 5 years or so until we figure out another option.
    Dude , chill. I use Catalina with all sorts of dev tools with no issues. I have way more trouble with our corporate IT trying to lock down/neuter our Windows 10 machines because they don’t get what developers actually do.

  • Three days with Apple's new Mac Pro: incredible speed that will accelerate with time

    looplessloopless
    Now Apple has produced a powerful compute workstation, their past decision to deprecate OpenCL ( not OpenGL) will isolate Apple even more from the community that builds code leveraging GPUs for fast computational work (typically either using OpenCL or CUDA from nVidia).

    There might be some hope if the Intel OneAPI initiative gains traction - the idea is developers can write C++ code to target all GPUs using one code base. But I see no indication yet Intel is including Metal as a target.

  • iPhone 11 Pro found to collect location data against user settings

    Bad AppleInsider.   Stop posting misleading nonsense clickbait. Turn off location services. “Problem”solved.

  • Review: Hue Smart Plug is another capable HomeKit-enabled outlet

    looplessloopless
    Pretty expensive when you can buy an iHome HomeKit WiFi smart plug for $26 or less.
