A nod to Parallels: Bootcamp is a lot less necessary now you can run DX 12 apps in a VM. I tested Grand Theft Auto V running in Windows 11 via Parallels 17 on an M1 Mac Mini. It is quite playable. There were a few graphics glitches in the far distance but everything else looked fine. The x86 emulation is being done using Windows 11 rather than Rosetta in Mac OS but the performance was acceptable. The TPM 2 requirement is emulated via a hardware setting you add to the Windows 11 VM. As far as Windows is concerned, the Parallels VM is a fully compatible computer.

This misses the demands by a country mile. That small developer fund makes me cringe. Is that a pay off for developers that must sign away their rights in order to get a piece of the pie? (Sign me up though as I have no plans to sue Apple.)

As usual, what is missing here is the rights of the customer to install whatever apps they choose to. Not one word of Apple's proposal talks about what users are allowed to do with their devices. It is once again focused on money. Apple has lost sight of the people that actually make the platform successful. Not Apple and not the developers. It is the people that buy iOS devices.

You guys, I just have to remind you that MS, Google, Facebook, and Twitter have been "scanning" your videos and images for CSAM for years. Apple was actually "late" to this feature. Now you're upset about Apple? LOL

Clearly, none of you people have a clue on how it works. 

Snowden is a traitor and betrayed our Americans for exposing our privacy for the internet to see and you're worried about Apple who is making sure no child porn is shared across the Internet while preserving privacy? 
 

We don’t want Apple to turn into Facebook or Google.

Or Dropbox or Twitter or Tumblr or any big service hosting content? Yeah they all do CSAM hash scans for kiddie porn, my guy. And guess what -- Apple has too! This was first implemented server-side over a year ago, perhaps in 2019:

The difference being that those other companies did not try to build themselves up as being the "privacy company" with massive marketing campaigns which turned out to be all lies in the end.

Apple's new warrantless searches are a cyberattack. It is just being carried out by Apple instead of some faceless criminal organization.

What if he had done the opposite and uploaded illegal photos to those iCloud accounts? Would Apple's new warrantless searches get those users in trouble with law enforcement? You know it would. Any kind of automated system implemented by a company with zero experience implementing such a system will have unintended consequences. Apple is not competent to implement a terrible idea like this one.
