It's reasonable to assume that if you erase an app on a mobile OS that the system will delete the app's data.

That ought to include any data stored in OS databases that is tagged with the app. It's not at all unreasonable to expect this. I suspect it's an oversight though Apple got weird after their standoff with the FBI over the "San Jose bomber". The GPU backdoor to read arbitrary system memory that Kaspersky found is an example.

Apple should make the change and really secure-erase the flash blocks that were being used. This can be done in the background and collected into the free block map later.

The best some people can do is trust their vendor but having a secret-source platform to trust makes it harder.

And, yes, it would not be surprising to learn Qualcomm and Samsung have similar 'features'.

I just checked my Android.

I have it set to not show sensitive info when locked.

But Signal now also has an option to show nothing, name, or name and content in a notification.

It appears to have defaulted to the least secure option.

There's that inherent tension between convenience and security and the Tyranny of the Default.

It's not difficult - Iran must be balkanized if Israel is going to conquer the Middle East and expand its proper borders to "those promised by God". They will demand a regional empire beyond their borders as a "buffer zone".

The Eschatological Christian Zionists want them tp destroy the Al Aqsa Mosque and build the Third Temple so Jesus can come back. Much of the Senior Brass at DoD (or Department of War Crimes) believes in this.

Is it all absurd and crazy? Doesn't matter, it's what motivates the people with nukes.

That and Trump being blackmailed with Epstein Tapes. The news says it's specifically an audio tape of a phone call between those two.

This is what the people who want peace in the world are up against. We can't counter what we deny.

Exactly. The English Majors went where other investigators have previously gone and ruled out.

The stack of blockchain, Merkle Trees, halvings, etc. show a level of insight a quantum above Hashcash.

There's noting wrong with being "quite good" but "engineering genius" is something different.

Besides, Satoshi would never have stood for not funding mining with txn fees. The BTC chain is in danger of being unmineable very soon.

I bought some paper books from Amazon in 1998 and they still work like the day I bough them.

Excellent support after 28 years.

Naw. I bought one of these Neo Macs last month.

It was a gift for my Mom who's still using a 2013 Macbook.

I'd been looking into used M1 Macs for under $500 and the chance to get a warranty new Mac, that sold me.

When you have a product made from leftover rejected parts the supply is guaranteed to be limited.

So you hype it as "for a limited time" and people go hog wild with FOMO.

coming soon: "The Neo is Back."

Yeah, "LLM's are gods" and "statistical ML networks are good at finding defective code patterns" are extremely different claims.

The people who are True Believers on both extremes look pretty silly.

I appreciate really good closed captioning while having no use for chatbots. Both ends get to call me a heretic!

Just watch the patches and CVE's trickling out.

It's not like OpenBSD is going to sit on a vulnerability for 90 days or whatever.

Issuing a patch doesn't give away the details about how it was found.

To be fair I just wasted a week tracking down a radio telemetry problem because of a forum post that many people said worked great but it definitely pulled a pin high that was supposed to be low, which shut off an antenna.

Only diving into the spec sheet and some sample embedded code convinced me that the forum post was exactly wrong and after making a simple change to do the opposite did all the telemetry devices mesh up and start reporting correctly.

So ... how does 90% compare to human content?

A wrinkle is that everybody knows humans are flawed and too many people treaty the LLM as omniscient.

Why should anybody care if this drives electric bills up to $1000/mo for the typical household?

We have unlimited energy, no?

Dipshits aren't creating a global energy crisis right now.

The world economy isn't headed for a global depression.

Natgas should be burned for LLM hallucinations and cats driving motorcycles, not converted into fertilizer to stave off a massive African famine.

Western woke governments haven't spent the past fifty years blocking new energy generation at every opportunity.

Right?

Don't invite the guillotines, dudes.

Why not notify their electric company to cut their power to halt infringement?

Or their water company so the house is uninhabitable?

The Courts need to recognize that Internet has become a necessary utility and that the music companies need to deal with the individual directly through the Courts, not in a lazy clandestine way.

Grande seems based.

Count the number of emails between a company founder and Epstein before you install their code in your Browser or put your data on their platform.

I mean, spies were spying on you?

Not to mock the victims, but c'mon, Nancy, don't be naÃve.

People could go Vicken and avoid beef and pork.

Yeah, Via made a clone that was similar not-quite-i586 fairly recently too.

I have an old embedded box with one that has SATA 6Gbps ports on it that I thought I would use zeroing out old hard drives.

I tried Puppy, DSL, SystemRescueCD, and a bunch of others and none would finish boot. FreeDOS is fine.

It's either eWaste or I need to dig out an Infomagic CD from the attic to get Redhat 9 pr whatever. Probably need to look up when the jump from 3 to 6 happened in SATA land.

But Linus is correct that actual distros don't supoort it. There's one project for composing embedded images that I might try before it hits a shredder. Or NetBSD maybe.
