    Daily Megathread - On-Device CSAM Scanning

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 06:00 AM PDT

    Hi r/Apple, welcome to today's megathread to discuss Apple's new CSAM on-device scanning.

    As a reminder, here are the current ground rules:

    We will be posting daily megathreads for the time being (at 9 AM ET) to centralize some of the discussion on this issue. This was decided by a sub-wide poll, results here.

    We will still be allowing news links in the main feed that provide new information or analysis. Old news links, or those that re-hash known information, will be directed to the megathread.

    The mod team will also, on a case by case basis, approve high-quality discussion posts in the main feed, but we will try to keep this to a minimum.

    Please continue to be respectful to each other in your discussions. Thank you!


    For more information about this issue, please see Apple's FAQ as well as an analysis by the EFF. A detailed technical analysis can be found here.

    A big problem with Apple's products since 2015.

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 04:37 PM PDT

    So last year when quarantine was fresh and I was not leaving the house I spent a lot of time watching YouTube and I came across the channel DankPods. They inspired me to buy up a few old iPods I could find (a fifth gen, a fourth gen mono, and a fourth gen photo) to do my own upgrades. So far I have upgraded the 5 and 4 mono and I was honestly quite shocked to find that they were relatively simple to work with. It was satisfying to restore the iPod OS and use an old product like it was new again. I found myself kinda hooked and every chance I got I would work with an Apple device. I upgrade the SSD in my 2015 MacBook Air and applied new thermal compound. I then got the chance to restore a 2009 MacBook and a 2010 MacBook Pro. Recently the FrameWork laptop has been getting more attention within tech media and I found myself genuinely looking at something other than a MacBook for my next laptop purchase.

    I imagine I am not the only person disappointed with Apple's continuous efforts to lock down their device hardware. I also imagine I am in a minority of people who care enough to make any kind of stink about it. The thing is that over the past two weeks or so I have seen plenty of critiques targeted at Apple for their handling of the CSAM situation, and I personally do not recall as much noise being made over Apple not wanting to play ball with Right to Repair. I would argue that an effort towards being compliant with Right to Repair would be more significant. Engineering a product to be purposefully difficult to repair makes it more difficult for everyone involved, manufacturer included. Now with Apple moving to ARM with the CPU, GPU, and RAM being fully integrated there is yet another barrier to making sustainable products.

    To put it simply: our world is finite. I think we all need to recognize this and expect more from companies who contribute to the drive towards infinite growth and consumption. We should normalize basic technical skills like swapping SODIMMs and NVMEs. The existence of a product like the FrameWork laptop is proof that what companies have been saying regarding the need for solder and adhesive in order to achieve ultrabook thinness is a blatant lie.

    Is it realistic to expect Apple to actually shift course on this with their talk about being eco-friendly?

    Apple and Me

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 07:49 AM PDT

    Maybe this isn't appropriate here, in that case I will delete it, but I wanna share this.

    I am diagnosed with a type of mental illness, and since it has been working in part few months, I discovered that one of the consequences of it are that I have a problem with dealing with complex things. To that, I have been using Word and Libre office for a long time. Word on my Windows PC and Libre on my MacBook 2019, but now as the illness worsened I found it difficult and annoying to deal with writing in Libre, and so I tried out the Pages.

    I uploaded my projects there and continued writing them as before. And I have to say, the simplicity of the Pages is incredible and beautiful. And I am absolutely loving it as it fits my needs perfectly.

    I have recent learnt that the Steve Jobs was a Buddhist and he led a very very simple life in every aspect (of a daily life) because of my condition, I am doing the same as it helps me, and I can totally see the beautiful Jobs saw in it. And it is just incredible how he reflected it in the products.

    I hope that it is okay for me to share this little story, and my expression of admiration for the man himself, here.

    Anyways, have a great day/night. And thanks for reading this.

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 05:50 PM PDT

    I mean we already can add pre-existing medical history/conditions and blood type. Apple, perceived to have not just the popular vote but most widely used devices could benefit from this function. In many ways, essential.

    M1 iPad Pro's FaceID in IR

    Posted: 23 Aug 2021 10:02 AM PDT

    I have a Pixel 4 XL, which let's you use the IR camera it itself uses for its own Face Unlock and I decided to try it out with the newly released M1 iPad Pro's FaceID. It's pretty amazing how quickly the scan is made and compares and unlocked.

    Thought this sub would find it neat.
