It isn’t a software patent. Compression method is patentable as an algorithm.

They will have to install an exploit on the target device. The law merely allows that practice.

Yes. Voting under duress, when a voter is forced to vote in a specific way and make a selfie of them with the filled ballot as proof. It’s solved by allowing to cast the vote electronically as many times as you like until election ends. Vot

There's absolutely no legal basis for it. EC technically may risk it and then lose in court.

One big misconception here is the suggestion to clearly mark apps with "good" or "bad" privacy signs on App Store. In reality Apple does not consider apps like Threads "bad" in any sense, as long as those apps

Can you get into more details on why do you think Codable is performance hostile?

I can answer it. I am not against advertisement. I'm against advertisement that does whatever possible to get in the way of viewer trying to watch a creator's content they want to support. Did you know there were half an hour long

by viktorcode 3y ago
For many it's not about supporting the platform and creators. YouTube can be unwatchable with ads. I believe this was done in part to push people to purchase premium. Some pay, some block, but nobody thinks the YouTube advertisement bu

The problem wasn't Swift Codable, the problem was Apple's implementation of JSONEncoder / Decoder on top of Obj-C runtime, which created unnecessary round trips. It was only fully addressed in Swift 5.9.

I think you are confusing several different aspects of security and privacy here, like iCloud data backups and encrypted local iPhone storage. Apple does have access to iCloud data, but they do not and cannot have access to locally encrypte

Login code is used to encrypt this data, so merely "bypassing" wouldn't help. It needs to be brute forced.

If the messages are encrypted locally (an option on iOS), and Celebrite fails to brute force your login code, then yes, they cannot extract Signal messages.

> You do understand that everything you know about iPhone's privacy comes from Apple's mouth, right? No, we know that from the words of independent security experts.

That's not as simple as it sounds. If the device is locked after reboot (or locked through SOS buttons combo) then it's in a state that cannot be cracked without a series of zero-day vulnerabilities that must be chained together t

You can take a look at Amazon Lumberyard which is free. It's based on CryEngine, which is behind Far Cry.

I think you are right. I vaguely remember French publishers losing revenue after Google News stopped referencing them.

IMO because of the impact they had in the media. I would argue Snowden revelations put privacy and data protection questions on top of the list across the world, for instance.

Let me just point out how incredibly poor the word "scam" is defined in that dictionary. By that literal definition a lot of different things become scams because they are "clever", dishonest and are about making money.

Remote work would help the author tremendously. He could have enjoyed his favourite countryside without ever needing to go to the office.

Just start typing the name. Not in the search field of Finder. You'll get focus on a file or folder that starts with whatever symbols you just typed. Very convenient and fast. Having "sort by name" by default in every folder
