    The fact anyone can reverse engineer this is scary.
    Some anonymous reddit user claims to have found code in an old version of iOS.  No one has "reverse engineered" anything.

    Another “exploit” that’s possible (only because there’s a non-zero chance it could happen) but in the real world would never happen.

    As mentioned, users have to save the photo. Not just one photo, but 30 photos. You think you’re going to convince someone to save 30 photos they received from a random person? I get pictures in iMessage all the time from friends/family. I rarely save them as once I’ve seen it (often it’s a joke or meme) I simply delete it. Or I’ll leave it in iMessage if I ever need to see it again.
    Photos in iMessage are saved to iCloud even if they are not manually added to Photos. How do you think they end up on all your devices?

  • Users lobby 1Password to abandon new Electron version

    flydogflydog
    SwiftUI and Electron are both unmitigated disasters, but 1Password's explanation for choosing Electron doesn't make sense since SwiftUI is not required to create universal apps. The decision was likely based on cost-cutting/laziness, and 1Password is trying to shift the blame.

    In this brave new world where facts are irrelevant and perception and spin is all that matters the horse is already out of the barn and nothing Apple says or does will change the perception being spun in the news media and tech blogs.
    Perception and facts are one and the same. Apple, the company that put up billboards proclaiming that what is on your phone is no one else’s business AND alleged that allowing a backdoor for government would compromise security, will be scanning its users’ photos to determine whether they committed a crime.

  • 'iPhone 13' to launch in September with A15, bigger batteries, researchers say

    Sorry. If they launch without Touch ID Apple can kiss post-pandemic sales bye-bye. Calls to warrant masks again make it important as ever. I’ll jump to an Android. 
    This comment won't age well.
