    iOS 11.4 to Disable USB Port After 7 Days: What It Means for Mobile Forensics

    (Discussion) At this rate, will Siri ever catch up to Google Assistant?

    Posted: 08 May 2018 11:13 AM PDT

    The Google I/O keynote kinda shocked me with the assistants new capabilities (especially making calls to businesses on your behalf.) They seem to be years ahead of Apple at this point. I stick with my iPhone as I am fairly locked down in the Apple ecosystem, but does Siri show anywhere near this level of progress on the horizon?

    [Discussion] After watching Google IO, I'm Glad I Own An iPhone

    Posted: 09 May 2018 12:15 AM PDT

    In the 2 hours I spent watching Google IO, not one word of 'privacy' was mentioned. Am I the only one whose a tad nervous?

    Don't get me wrong, the new features are great, but are also extremely prone to privacy invasion. In the entire keynote, they never mentioned what they're gonna do with our data and how they're gonna manage it.

    TIL You don’t have to hold the power button on an iPhone until the Apple logo appears to turn it on.

    Posted: 08 May 2018 12:36 PM PDT

    You just need to press it once. Never knew this and owned iPhones for like 6 years.

    Post Google I/O Discussion Thread

    Posted: 08 May 2018 12:45 PM PDT

    Figured I'd make this just in case people wanted to talk about what was unveiled today, considering some of it does impact iOS, like the Google Assistant app.

    Pretty fuckin impressive though. Document recognition that allows you to copy the text, Google Assistant can call businesses now, etc.

    Air drop, do you use it, and why ? [discussion]

    Posted: 08 May 2018 03:39 PM PDT

    I've been excited to use Airdrop for a couple of years now ( and similar services like the android nsfc thing), but never got the chance to; was wondering how much mileage people get out of it.

    How much do you use it ?

    what kind of things do you use it for ?

    Re: Unicode Crash - Don’t be one of those people.

    Posted: 08 May 2018 08:44 PM PDT

    The known Unicode issue is cross-platform. Android AND iOS have the same exact issue.

    I'm so tired of seeing complaints about any OS having these obscure bugs that can legitimately pop out of nowhere. When coding iOS 11, do you think they knew this particular issue? That they just though, "Heh, screw these morons. We're going to leave it in and ruin their day with a Unicode error!" No. There are probably other bugs on each OS that no one knows of yet. Not even the creators/coders themselves.

    Apple/Google will fix it. We will move on.

    My AirPods went in with a load of laundry and I set out to the local Apple Store ...

    Posted: 08 May 2018 11:45 PM PDT

    Showed the Apple dude (in a green shirt) that the right one worked but the left didn't and wouldn't charge. He initially suggested buying new since water damage may cause problems later even if they worked now. But he said for me to hold up a bit and went to talk to his manager .... Long story short, was told it was under warranty and given new referbished ones with a new 90 day warranty. Couldn't be happier!

    My two cents on app subscriptions: The real problem isn't the subscription, it's the price hike.

    Posted: 08 May 2018 06:52 AM PDT

    Subscriptions are fine. The real problem isn't the subscriptions, it's that devs are disguising price hikes as moves to subscriptions.

    Let's take a look at 1Password, the app we love to hate on this sub:

    "As for 1Password 8 for Mac, when it becomes a reality it will be a paid upgrade. 1Password 7 is our first paid upgrade in 5 years and quite frankly we waited too long. There are a ton of reasons why we elected to go with free upgrades for 1Password 5 and 1Password 6, but going forward we plan on having paid upgrades for each major new release." - Dave Teare

    "What I can say is ideally we'd have a new release with every macOS release." - Dave Teare

    Suddenly, instead of the yearly $36 looking quite pricey, it looks like a steal. Odd how that happened. Of course, subscription pricing is justified because they are not just providing an app, but a service. Funny how they always pushed the fact (see the linked pages above) that our data was secure on our chosen sync services until they had a subscription to push.

    Now, this isn't just about AgileBits. Nearly every single one of the services that are moving to subscription are committing the cardinal sins of:

    • Overestimating how much your app is worth to the casual user.
    • Raising the price but pretending that it's about purchase options that better suit the user.
    • Syncing through proprietary means in order to justify subscription pricing.

    There are some apps that are made better by offering subscription pricing. For instance, if I needed to do a lot of video editing for a single event I might prefer a months use of a fancy editing app. There are also some apps that recognize what an app is actually worth and what customers want. We do enough shaming of the bad actors here, let's recognize and encourage the good ones. I'll start with:

    • Overcast: $10 a year to remove ads and upload files. For me, even though I don't upload files, at less than $1 a month I am happy to support an app I use daily and that fights for privacy. It is also usable for free with ads that don't sell your data.
    • Carrot weather: Offers extremely fairly priced subscriptions for features that cost the developer more to maintain.
    • Apple Music / Spotify: where I live it's even cheaper than the USA, and definitely worth what I get out of it.

    Intel i7-8809G, The Intel CPU with Vega graphics. Perfect for a new Mac Mini?

    Posted: 08 May 2018 10:33 AM PDT

    Hearing Tim's mention of the importance of the Mac Mini in the future of Apples production line up, could this be the perfect chip to power these systems? You get a Kaby Lake i7 CPU with AMDs Vega graphics GPU all one a single chip. It works in a tiny form factor, minimal cooling and is the main 2 graphics and processing architectures in the current Mac line up. Would love to see the Mac Mini powered by this.
