  • Apple 'poisoned the well' for client-side CSAM scanning, says former Facebook security chi...

    You know, in Brazil we have an expression: "Boasting to kill the jaguar, after it's already dead!" I doesn't really translates, but it really resonates with some of the reactions we've been seeing this past week. You know who doesn't give a damn? Regular Apple customers. You know, people with real jobs and life worries, that don't abuse children, and invest in Apple hardware because they think it is better than the competition's. They are also people that don't agonize about some very technical and narrow definition of privacy, particularly when it's been polluted by personal (ahem, monetary) interests, and when their own Congress is just about incapable of even following the most straightforward aspects of technology.

    Talk about an overblown "first world" problem.

    You need a blind gif.  
    I’m an average American, strong middle class, comfortable but not rich. I work a lot and I don’t abuse children (don’t have any of my own yet). But I have nieces and I’d never stand for anyone, including myself abusing them. 

    That said, this is a different game here. It’s a dangerous slippery slope. I understand the idea for this feature but I think it’s going to slowly erode the progress and trust Apple has made.  For me, it’s the principle of the matter. 

    I’m debating cancelling my iCloud services in protest. Probably won’t affect Apple but hey. I can only vote with my dollar. If it gets out of hand, I’m just going to switch away from Apple iPhones. Just did with the laptops. So that’s about 3K they didn’t get from me. Again, it’s all I can do as an individual. The masses will decide from here.

  • Apple call center contractor pressuring employees to accept home surveillance

    If my employer tried to watch me work at home, I’d tell them stick it. Either trust me and my performance or fire me. Don’t want to work for a bunch of jacka$$e$ anyway.

    I love how these liberal companies complain when the government does liberal things.

  • Apple faces higher taxes after G7 agree to global tax rate changes

    seankillseankill
    Can't believe some of you are complaining about a minimum of 15% tax? Seems almost low for one of the most profitable companies in the world. Local US businesses typically pay 25%, so I think Apple is getting a deal. Its also fair for Apple, the push liberal agendas (right, wrong, or indifferent), its time for them to put THEIR money where THEIR mouth is. Everyone wants these policies until they have to pay for them. Time for Apple to pay up to the tune of a weak 15%. 

    Disclaimer, I don't readily identify with either side of politics; I prefer the viewpoint of a moderate republican and moderate democrat. Both parties need their balls busted.

  • 'iPhone 13' will have bigger batteries than the iPhone 12 family, leaker claims

    IPhone13 might consume more power, for rumored 120Hz display, always on display, or some other new feature
    So larger battery may not mean longer running time.
    I’d turn the always on display off. Stupid feature IMO but I understand people will have different thoughts.
