Fascinating. Kind of at odds with this: German government wants Tim Cook to reconsider CSAM plans
You missed the analogy that the items considered fair game to report is not within public purview. Anyone can add things to the list, or come up with entirely new lists. Like China that wants dissident materials kept off of iPhone engravings - not hard to imagine them quietly informing Apple “either also scan for these images (tank man; self-immolating man) or you can‘t sell in China”.
If it’s scanned locally before being encrypted and only if it’s about to be transferred to their servers (as described) then they don’t have to scan on their hardware so they no longer need the keys. You know, the keys that they use to turn over everything to the government when told to. So, how is Apple not having the keys reduce your privacy when they are scanning exactly same material either way?I can't look at OS code running and understand what's happening, especially if it's obfuscated in some way, which is VERY easy to do. I don't know about you, but I can't read machine code on something that's running, and there's no built in debugger to see things in a more meaningful way. (as if a debugger would be enough...) And no, you are stating absolutely no facts.
EDITAs) I have stated previously, I support server side scanning -- it's their hardware to do and it does ***NOT*** have access to everything on my phone like a local scanner does, only what my phone syncs with iCloud, iMessage, email...
Computing: Just ordered an Alienware X17; main OS will be Linux / KDE Plasma instead of going for the 16 inch MBP ASi
Seems I missed an announcement. Where did Apple say they don't need those keys anymore?
Yeah... I'm gonna miss my Apple Watch
I've tried to find an adequate replacement and have come up with bupkis, so I guess my smart watch days are over.I haven't gotten as far as looking into a replacement tablet, yet.
Future looks bright for Linux phones. I think there will be more demand for them after the introduction of the fbiPhone.
They're coming along. They may actually be usable.
use an e2ee encryption backup like sync.com and build your own cloud storage system with a nas like synology's 220+
I've seen the disagree button not show a couple times too, I think it's just a bug in the forum software.
Why? They're perfectly safe with Apple it seems. Only new uploads will be scanned.
Since your phone includes more information about yourself than iCloud does, any scanner has more access than if they just scanned server side. And since it's down on your device, iCloud is irrelevant now, and it's oh so easy to change what is scanned without most users even knowing about it.
Plasma is traditional desktop paradigm on steroids. You can easily customize and streamline the experience. In my office most of developers are with KDE/Arch. I have played with popOS implementation of Gnome and I like it a lot, it has logical short-keys and tilling windows function by default. My only personal Apple device left is the iPadPro only for one app - Procreate. There is no analogue at the moment, may be I will invest in Wacom Cintiq (Krita is also capable Linux app for digital painting and drawing.
I'll switch to a feature phone if I have to. I think, before that, I'd try a Light Phone. And, before that, I'll try an Android phone with LineageOS or something on it.
