  • Leak: what law enforcement can unlock with the 'Graykey' iPhone hacking tool

    fastasleepfastasleep

    However, a leak of some Grayshift's internal documents was recently reported on by 404 Media. According to the data, Graykey can only perform "partial" data retrieval from iPhones running iOS 18 and iOS 18.0.1. 

    That's not accurate. It can only do "partial" on SOME iPhones running 18.0/18.0.1, while others are completely vulnerable:

    Does no on else find this gross, and at the systemic root of wtf is wrong in our country?  Seems like a nice guy you'd root for but then no.  Just another greedy fuc*ing cog in the wheel.  Don't really think he moves the needle either, other than a somewhat impressive Jobs facsimile come wwdc.  Bullshit human being unless I'm really missing something.
    Like Steve Jobs the guy doesn’t get paid a salary. Selling stocks is his income. Stocks are only worth something when cashed in.

    You’re reading far too much into this than there is to read.
    Not entirely true, he does get paid a salary and other compensation, though the stock awards are by far the largest portion of his pay:
    Apple says that Cook earned $63,209,845 during 2023, that’s roughly 28% higher than the initially planned $49 million compensation. It’s still down around 36% compared to what he earned in 2022, though. 
    • Salary: $3,000,000
    • Stock Awards: $46,970,283
    • Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation: $10,713,450
    • All Other Compensation: $2,526,112

  • Apple rolls out minor updates to iWork apps

    iWorks is a joke. Just another hobby of Apple to keep people in the ecosystem. Only maintenance updates, no cross platform compatibility, zero innovation. 
    What do you mean, "no cross platform compatibility"? You can open and save to Word/Excel/PPT formats from their respective counterparts. I haven't needed Office for anything, ever. And how does it "keep people" when there's nothing forcing you to use it at all?

  • Beware of fake CleanMyMac installers that will infect your Mac

    CleanMyMac X is not malware. It’s a nicely designed set of useful tools, made by a legitimate software company in Ukraine. I’m an expert Mac user and find uses for CMMX regularly.
