he didn't control the mouse, though, did he?
he might have moved a cursor on the screen... still impressive, don't get me wrong, but it's not the same thing as controlling a computer mouse
words, why do we even have them...
Can't even get Google Chrome.
Google Chrome is on the App Store...
so, before we were upset on behalf of the small developers, the upcoming apps... and now we're complaining on behalf of the big players...
right? ok, got it...
> terms that are bad for developers and consumers alike
see, there are quite a few of us who don't agree with this... (I'm speaking as both a consumer, as well as a developer, small, and have worked on large apps)
sideloading without oversight will ultimately NOT be a good thing for the average consumer
regarding the costs / provisions / Apple tax / their piece of the pie... I mean, it's not like you're not getting anything for it
I know... how dare I
maybe use the tab key?
if only we could just invent a single character for indenta... oh, wait
regarding the rest... the whole language seems
don't think it'll take off
As a commander in chief, he should have the authority to do so in the manner that best suits him
as an elected official, he is obligated to do in a manner that suits his constituency, not him
USA's last known contradiction
ah, right, the well known "US" tradition: whataboutism
This is going to be a calm, factual and unemotional discussion.
especially here, on
how would you even have discovered Apple computers/phones/etc without advertising? Hell, how would you have heard about PC's without some form of advertising?
How would I have seen said personalised ads without a PC / mac / phone?
Or does advertising not count if it's not targeted?
No, not it the way you seem to want to take this... The "personalised" part is the issue here, exactly, it's the part many people don't want, and Apple is giving us the option to successfully opt out of it...
I'd think the car has info on how many people were in the car and where they were seated...
And keep a log of that data...
You can't build with CO2, unfortunately, and since we need buildings, we might as well get energy out of them...
there is no data to track, or rather, your phone will be the only device that has the ability to track data...
it generates and transmits random numbers (just that, random numbers, nothing else), and looks for other random numbers that were transmitted.
if you get infected, those random numbers get uploaded to some location, and then other phones can check if they've seen any of the uploaded numbers.
if a match is found, the owner of that device get's a notification to go get tested (or self quarantine, or whatever), data doesn't get exposed even in this case.
there just isn't anything there to track...
of course, this explanation is a gross simplification of the actual protocol, but still, should be accurate enough
your phone already knows more about you than will be collected by this protocol/API, so you loose nothing in terms of privacy / trackability. this protocol/API just enables contact tracing in a responsible way.
Combine it with the time and ISP records on what device on a mobile network got assigned that particular IP, match the device to a person,
But again, that's the world we live, it's nothing new and specific to the current topic; getting all that data together will require involvement of the court, so this is not something that should be taken as an argument against anything, really...
It's just an answer to "how,
also, love your explanations of the proposed solution
forwarded it to a number of people, I couldn't explain it as clearly as you did, thanks
Well, you'll have the server logs and IPs of the device doing the uploading, those IPs can be matched to end users by network operators. Which in most parts of the world (as I know it) would require a court order or something similar.
But of course, one will have this "issue" with any kind of access to some server backend, so it's a moot point in the broader discussion. (and I'm all for Apples/Googles proposed implementation; are there potential issues? sure, in theory, but far less than with what France is asking for)
actually, it is how public private key cryptography works...
you're talking about signing, sure, but you can also encrypt the whole message
and yes, you can add a symmetric encryption key, but that just adds a layer of encryption... and all of these are known, well documented and widely used protocols, be it "signing", encryption, or adding an encrypted key used to decrypt with another algorithm...
all part of the field we know as PKI
