    Flip it over. The important stuff is on the front side.

  • Fed expansion of Apple's CSAM system barred by 4th Amendment, Corellium exec says

    Shocking how many people do not want this feature and seem keen to protect the rights of pedophiles  :#
    Bullshit. I’ve yet to come across a single post advocating for the rights of pedophiles.

  • Work continues on Wuhan Apple Store for September opening

    Suppose it does come out that the virus was man made by China.    Would Apple, who has become so politically correct, say one word?     No, they won’t.   And it would be be so hypocritical 

    The virus was not "man made." That has been debunked time and time again. That does not mean that the virus was not being researched in a lab in China, but given your lack of an education, knowledge of the subject, and reasoning skills, that distinction is likely lost on you. 

    And why would Apple (or any business for that matter) say anything if it does turn out that China was experimenting with this virus? I'm not aware of Apple having a policy against doing business in countries that research viruses, and many countries, including the US, store viruses for research.

  • Internal Apple memo addresses public concern over new child protection features

    Why are videos playing all over the front page here?


    Because the people who run AI incorrectly believe that we want to see them, and that even if we don’t, that we should be forced to watch them.

  • New York's updated Excelsior vaccine passport drops Apple Wallet support

    mike1 said:
    Glad mine was updated to the 1-year expiration and in my Wallet before this change. Maybe Wallet compatibility will be made available again before I need to update.

    Update. This article is partly wrong. I just checked the NYS site and Excelsior passes can still be downloaded directly to Wallet.
    What can not be added to Apple Wallet are Excelsior Plus passes. I was unaware of this pass until now, but apparently has more info regarding your vaccine, including where and which vaccine you received. It is not necessary for entry into places where you need to show proof of vaccination.
    The article is not wrong at all. It states that it is the Plus pass that cannot be added to wallet:
    The original Excelsior Pass, however, expired six months after a user's vaccination date. Because of that, New Yorkers will need to update to the Excelsior Pass Plus.

    As noticed by AppleInsider staffers, the new Excelsior Pass Plus is not compatible with Apple Wallet. Unlike the original Excelsior Pass which had explicit Apple Wallet support, users will need to head to the NYS Wallet app every time they want to prove vaccination status.
