Steve Jobs by all accounts was an absolute asshole. So are Apple a good company just because they aren't in the space that allows them to be a nice company? I wonder if they owned products that made money off the data they collect would they be as security and privacy focused -- if we accept that they are.

Time for phone manufacturers to invent a way to make PIN requirements like this impossible to fulfill. Also bring back touchid because it is more reliable than faceid. Because you know this shit isn't ending in Hong Kong!

Gives you a whole lot of confidence hearing that a nuclear reactor went through maintenance and they did it ahead of time and under budget. In this economy. 97% of large nuclear builds overrun budgets. Chalk River saw liabilities grow 30–50% in a decade even though they were "well managed" early on in their PM.

People just don't understand history, and underestimate the governments ability to maintain secrecy. You think Apple don't have a backdoor to your device. They may never use this as evidence in court -- but they will reroute effort based on what they find. That's the Imitation Game!

I write emails to myself after every shift. I use the emails to fill detail into invoices. This is my way of taking notes.

People really need to go away and rewatch this movie. The government can keep a secret. The government will "sell their grandmother" to keep the secret. And the secret is that they don't need a quantum computer (that we've all been told doesn't exist and is necessary to decrypt our shit) because they already have the keys. It's theater. Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta all enjoy their monopolies for what they provide the government -- unlimited surveillance while pretending our data is secure. It's not!

I have a feeling I'm losing the ability to send a message and make a call using my voice.

This is the code they are uploading to github, not necessarily the code they are using on Twitter. Nothing more!

He will get a refund because Australia have great consumer protection against transaction fraud. But his account is gone. And therefore his devices. And we don't have any recourse to recover accounts that have been locked out over BS issues like this.

I see people saying this is an Apple problem. It's not. Automated systems and having no recourse is the problem. I've lost a Google account because I could not authenticate using another device -- password and recovery phone number not enough to get my account back. I've got clients that have lost Apple, Google, Facebook and Microsoft accounts. And there is no recourse! These companies are not accountable to anyone!

It was supposed to be a decentralised payments system. It has become a system of hoarding wealth -- particularly for the elite criminals. I wonder how much Putin alone has stored. The sooner it dies now the better. The experiment failed!

All I want to know is: am I drinking caffeine now? Tell me what to do!!!

Great!

Does nobody study history at all here. The idea that any app provides you with secure communication on your mobile phone is complete fantasy. They have the capability. It's their secret. They will not use the information directly, but they will use the information to catch you.

Dude, that's your ADHD!
