It means "not on the device" storage and that is very different than off-device storage. You pay for it with the device, you access it with the device, and you manage it with the device. It's a device feature, powered by an internet connection service to expand the capacity of the device. It is Apple's equivalent of user-upgradable storage.
the hashes are generated from images from the national institute of protecting exploited children. their DB doesnt have IMAGES but hashes.
And...as if altruistic reasons are good enough to put spyware on millions of iPhones.
its only "spyware" if
And HOW do they generate the hash? By reading the file.
I disagree. And no one-sided lobbyist is going to convince me that hardware can be sold to me with a different set of terms than the software needed to use it. But this argument that software is somehow special is why people hate the conceited attitude of software developers.
Than the iPhone doesn't do anything they advertise on TV. They need to be sued because the device doesn't even do anything when powered on.
Sorry, but you having a hard time pointing to the evidence of your assertions shouldn't fall on me or anyone else. The fact is, you paid for your phone, and it came with an operating system preinstalled that required you to agree to its terms and conditions upon setup. Apple then allows you to install updates, which they pay engineering time for, for free, with the one caveat that you need to again agree to terms and conditions. At the end of the day, you have what you paid for, and it's your choice to accept the free OS update, or not. You don't lose a dime in either case.
I lose all the money I already paid for the OS. I really don't understand what you have to gain from disagreeing with these facts. Do you work for apple or some sort of organization with a vested interest in monitoring people?
That's my plan. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max. When it's paid for, I'll leave Apple behind.
You really ought to not be using whatever device you're using to type these messages. It's reading the contents of everything you do, constantly.
Someone help me out here. What's this logical fallacy an example of? I can't remember.
It reads the backend of the file not the front end.
Thanks for reminding me to dislike your post!👎
So Apple pre-installing software onto a device means that it's part of the device itself? Even though the software can be removed or replaced and the device still function? You're making less and less sense.
If you have nothing to hide can we come over and search your house? If we find nothing, we wont tell anyone anything.
And I'm not required to let you search my bags. I am more than welcome to leave...and I would.
and that is why you don’t understand why people aren’t happy about this.
The fact that they ARE having to nonstop explain it should be a red flag to them.
How do you lose all the money you paid for the device with the OS you agreed to use when you bought it? To your second question: honestly, I'm between projects, and find this exchange entertaining.
lol. what an apple apologist. Its not looking for dicks, its just looking for images that have data that looks like kids dicks. And to do so it creates a hash.
arguments don't work if you swing the pendulum all the way to the end. There are only 2 scenarios where anyone would be against CSAM scanning on device
Yes. I also don't have to use the charging cable it came with, but I still own it. I purchased everything in the box, and with it all the updates it is due. The fact that software is even something that can be sold is insane, but since it is, we have to defend our own consumer rights. To many developers, these days seem to want to act like software is somehow different than the cable the device came with.
No, it’s pretty clear from your comment that you don’t understand it.
