So i'm not installing Windows 10 on my PS4... got it.
I'm pretty sure that was his point. He has to use Windows to play his Windows games. Because of this, he CAN'T choose Linux and still get the same functionality. Therefor, anything that negatively impacts Windows impacts him.
Most people won't ever want to move the SD card from their phone to the computer...but...Easy, just grab any open source windows EXT3 disk mounting utility for windows, reskin it, package it up in your own installer, include a GPL license with it and put it up on the "downloads" section of the support site. Then include an insert with the phone directing them to the web address on your website on where to download it.
Or the phone can just say "This SD card needs to be formatted for use with this phone. This will erase everything on this card. Are you sure?" for any non ext3 formatted cards.
Game center is completely removed from iOS 10 altogether. http://toucharcade.com/2016/06...
If he's using a proper True Crypt volume, encrypted with AES-256, you're off by about 50 orders of magnitude. AES-256 will survive brute-force attacks until pretty much the heat death of the universe.
The "bad guys" in this case were already dead. They died the day they committed their crimes.
You are quoting an article on Canada. Their legal system doesn't apply to the USA.
You might look in to the new iPad Pro that was just announced today as you can use apple's full stylus on it. So you can get Apple's App ecosystem with the stylus now.
You can smack the dead guy with the $5 pipe wrench all you want. The guy who knows the passcode to the phone is still dead. You won't be getting the passcode to the phone from him.
Have you read what the court order to apple says? Actually says? I have read the actual court order.
It says:
1) It will bypass or disable the auto-erase function.
2) it will enable the FBI to submit passcodes to the subject device for testing electronically via the physical device port, bluetooth, wifi, or other protocol available.
3) it will not purposefully introduce any additional delay between passcodes attempts beyond what is incurred by hardware
4) they are to provide a signed iPhone software file that can be loaded onto the device and run from RAM without modifying the iOS installation on the actual phone, the user data, or system partitions on the device's flash memory

So yes...they are required to allow for electronic entry of the passcode. And they have to write the software in a way that hasn't been done before... without touching the flash memory on the iPhone. You can not run iOS on the phone "from RAM".
This is absolutely a new piece of software that they will likely have to start with. Much more complicated than just "removing a few lines of code".
It is pretty common that people or businesses are being subpoenaed or ordered by the court to cooperate in a criminal investigation, and little care is given for your interest in the matter.
Subpoenas and court orders to cooperate in investigations have always been along the lines of "come to the courthouse and testify" and "Let us look at your records/books/transaction logs/call logs/records/and any other collection of facts you have within your possession." NEVER has a court order gone so far as to order a company to completely engineer a tool that does not exist.
Drama much ? Apple is asked to cooperate in a criminal investigation, at little cost to them (just a few hours of labor), and no cost to their other lawful customers.
I don't care how little or how much it costs, or how long it takes to accomplish. I don't care that they're being compensated for it. It's indentured servitude. They are being forced to apply their trade for the government's benefit with no right to refuse.
You're holding up a work of dramatic FICTION, with all of it's hollywood over dramatizations, as evidence of Mobsters being political?
The best way to handle it is to make it an "if the unlock code is provided, then you can update the software of the OS and firmware of the device without wiping the encryption keys. If the unlock code is not provided, then I will let you update the software but first I will wipe the encryption keys." Since the encryption is all done in a hardware chip with it's own separate OS and update process, it would not be difficult to accomplish.
Maybe. With the security hardware that exists in the iPhone 5S and later devices, it's possible a software update to them could simply fix it.
Garbage In -- Gospel Out.
