The enduring trait of narcissism that I have encountered is their hatred and refusal to abide by contracts or to have their behavior constrained in any way that has teeth. They would never allow you t…

Given this fact, one of the most amazing things to me is when a song can be translated relatively faithfully and while preserving the rhyme structure. It just blows my mind to listen to a song in anot…

An example of this is with the Sacklars. They're functionally no different than an illegal drug cartel, and yet they are spared criminal sanction. Any normal person or group of persons doing what…

Speech can be murderous, and more importantly, it can be punishable. Ok, what about if the getaway driver drove him there as well, and explicitly expressed knowledge of the crime that was to occur and…

I'm more concerned with their unequal treatment when it comes to the law vs ordinary people. There should not be parallel systems of punishment for corporations where they can receive any treatme…

They also probably use simulation software like Correllium that eerily simulates iOS seemingly to the extent Apple wanted them shut down. If anything, iPhones would be far more secure if everyone coul…

The more important designation is whether a hack is "zero-click", meaning it requires no user interaction.If such is the case, it cannot truly be defended against, it is purely automatic or …

iPhones can be provisioned with pretty extensive profiles/MDM so I doubt that part. They probably see all the zero-days and decide game respects game. Just not secure enough for such an incredibl…

I cannot fathom how terrifyiny it is to be using iCloud Keychain. Would honestly rather become a new customer with Lastpass over that.

What I don't get is this obsession with making corporations people, except for the criminal part. Why can't a company be "thrown in jail" by cutting its heads off a jailing them. T…

Same thing with the iCloud email addresses you can't delete and that have to exist if you have an AppleID, despite never using them.

On the balance, I have found the opposite to my experience. Your phone spends more time passively carrying out a multitude of background tasks and analystics stuff then it does with you actively web b…

Yeah, its starting to get weird that they refuse to implement this. Its almost like certain stakeholders need to be able to randomly text you with malware and refuse the notion of being silenced.

That is not a reasonable position, "peacefully" writing software that you know is to be used to murder and silence other people makes you just as complicit those crimes (definitely an access…

Yes, this is the angle I've been trying to capture. Its realpolitik, thank you for helping crystalize that. But I maintain that it extends to the US as well in terms of cooperation with domestic …

> built into Safari Is it really built into Safari, or are you referring to the iCloud option that "privately" helps reduce Cloudflare demands?

Was going to mention. iMessage seems to be that golden key thing the FBeye asked them for back in 2015 in San Bernadino (insofar as iCloud itself isn't a/the key itself, already)

I would argue that iMessage is way to problematic to be used safetly, at all. By anyone. Full-stop. It also seems to be the primary attack vector of NSO related zero-days as well and its become known …

Would definitely be a humoros pivot

Elcomsoft is their Russian analogue

Its super interesting to me how much its emphasized that you shouldn't use Lockdown Mode unless you are a journalist or otherwise in direct palpable danger. They really do try to talk you out of …

The other problem with logging out and back in is that it resets to all iClouds insane defaults that you have to manualky comb over to fix. Its 1000% dark pattern and default nonsense.

Its super interesting to me how much its emphasized that you shouldn't use this (Lockdown Mode) unless you are a journalist or otherwise in direct danger. They really do try to talk you out of it…

C'mon Pixar...give us a bat movie

I wonder if there is a piccollo-sized version of violin. Like a violinio

iPhones can be supervised and/or enrolled in MDM that allows for very high-granularity control of settings and logging etc

-> And don't roll any of it back.

Sorry, I just had to know. I was feeling a bit involuntarily solipsistic lately for some reason
