This is a nation state level hack using their best zero day resources and not something easy. According to other articles it matched identically to a hack they used to send agents in person to execute. The answer is we do not know exactly what step three is, just that it existed and in this case...

I have a bit worry for the future of Pixelmator. I hope it is just free and not subscription. There is just too much Apple history of things I liked, but did not use, going away. AppleWorks: had a drawing/painting program as well as a database app which worked great for basic stuff...

Missing currently gen iPhone updates like the action button and camera control button. The cellular versions should have the phone app for the extra money as the cellular watch can make calls for an even lower price bump. Hopefully by next gen they get the cellular hardware on chip and just...

For power users yes it was a mistake. But power users have never really been the target audience. File managers in generally have been confusing pieces of garbage for general users no matter what platform and I think it is more of a mistake Apple did not stick to their guns while they...

There were plenty of third party choices like Dropbox and kin from the first App Store release and there was a camera adapter for SD card imports. Mostly I think the only reason Files get an any attention at all is because 3rd party apps started getting worse over time. There have always been...

Locking apps is new, as is hiding apps. Both features should have gotten a shout out in this article.

It sounds like a missed opportunity that red light cameras do not automatically identify reckless turning, rear end crashes or identifying unsafe behavior near pedestrians. I know my local law enforcement just ran a trap downtown for the express purpose of pedestrian safety. (Although perhaps...

Dude! Raising the dead is one of the most profitable use cases! Talking to dead relatives is all the rage in China and I’ve heard Facebook is going to update their memorial pages where it will keep posting on your behalf using your past history! Just imagine instead of just a video gravestone...

Too expensive. Target the live ones V for Vendetta style with a mass mail order delivery of “Russian military gear.”

What ads? There is nothing labeled sponsored, nothing inserted into books, nothing from ad campaigns… the only thing that could be mistaken for an ad is “top picks” and a “special offers” which is (or was until layoffs) editor curated. Please point out this advertising? I think Books is one of...

With the variety of phone hardware out there I am sure NFC had a couple ms wiggle room in case the phone is too busy to reply promptly. That and the ATM itself probably doesn’t have the hardware for proximity timing so looking at everything being done server side designed for dialup/2G...

My main issue with the DuckDuckGo outage was the complete lack of information. It never acknowledged that there was an outage they were aware of or any ETA on resolution. It felt like they were completely asleep at the wheel. There was no status page, blog post, or fail whale saying they were...

Ethically dubious is a good term, but realistically there is not even a plan to ever solve local issues like conflict insecurity, environmental extremes, or economic uncertainty here on Earth. Anyone who tries to colonize space will almost certainly die along with any babies and children, yet...

There are a couple. Google breaks E2E for RCS to insert their AI sentence completion suggestions (wink wink we won’t “accidentally” use this data for other purposes or “accidentally” log it). Google tries to shove proprietary stuff into RCS just like they do for web browsing with proprietary...

Amazon is completely eating Google’s lunch on related purchase searches. In the Google heyday of search you would go back to Google for each item you wanted to buy. Amazon has become very successful at keeping purchase searches within their website even when they are nowhere the cheapest deal...

I think that is why they had a whole eye health section in in the cast. Being too close to things wrecks kids eyes and if these caught on a myopic epidemic would be on Apple. That and these are half glass. Future legal issue.

What I did not see that I expected was cellular and cellular features. I’d think 5G would make excellent use of movie streaming and there was no demo of it handling phone calls or notifications at all. The OS may well be barely functional in the way iOS was at the iPhone release. I should...

When they say starting at I expect all the price points of M2. 24Gb +$400. 1TB SSD +$400. 4 hour battery +$100. AppleCare+ +$400. Airport quality carry case +$150. Pride headband +$100. Probably looking closer to $5000 to budget.

The safety features seem to be the biggest selling point over better brightness and always on display. Pretty much a $400 dedicated piece of equipment added to the phone. Crash detection is also a hefty vehicle upswell. Not bad for the same price points. I hope the review will give a...

I think Google just refuses to take responsibility for the carriers MMS/SMS support. It is well in their ability to name and shame more than just their rival. Apple pretty gleefully offloaded tons of support calls onto carriers when iMessage first came out. There were carriers that tried to...
