    Daily Megathread - On-Device CSAM Scanning

    Posted: 29 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.

    M1 MacMini + Magic Keyboard 1 Battery Drain

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 03:50 PM PDT

    So I went from a iMac 2011 to a 2020 MacMini with Silicon M1 chip.

    I am using the same Magic devices (Magic Keyboard and Magic Mice generation 1) that I used on the iMac. But the battery drains so fast.

    I've put two new pair of batteries on the keyboard on Friday 27. Took a screenshot. Battery was at 100%. Today is Sunday, 29. The battery is at 75% (25% less in 2 days, without use). And I haven't used the computer on Saturday nor Sunday (just now, using it for less than 2h).

    For reference, with my iMac, the battery would have last at least 3 weeks of intense every day use.

    Image for reference- https://imgur.com/a/GVZxkJl

    What is happening? Does anyone have experienced the same issue? I've found this thread on Apple Discussions, but I don't feel like changing my devices. I don't like the 2nd Generation Magic devices

    Do any of you use old macs for light work? How do you cope with them?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 02:28 PM PDT

    Hey Reddit, this isnt a tech support question btw, I'm wondering if we can have a general discussion about using older macs in 2021 as I just bought an old Macbook air late 2010 from ebay for just 60GBP I think its a good price for a superbly built mac, while its old and underpowered, It has a 1.86 core2duo processor and 2gb of ram, which I know is really low in 2021 but I plan to use it really for just typing and a bit of light browsing.

    Its running Yosemite right now, do you think old macs like these run well enough or would putting Linux on it give old underpowered macs like this a better experience or will it run alright for simple uses? And are there any tips others might have on how to prolong the lives of old hardware?

    Hockey fans! Introducing Breakaway, a new NHL app for iOS!

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 04:38 AM PDT

    Hey /r/Apple!

    For the past year and a half or so, I've been working with Alex (/u/aleradders) on a brand new app for iOS called Breakaway, a better, cleaner way to see NHL scores, stats, teams, players, and more. It's the very first app for either of us, and it'll be free with 0 ads.

    Hopefully we have some hockey fans in here, and if you are one, you've probably used the official NHL app, or maybe ESPN, TheScore, Bleacher Report, or something else.

    Our goal here (pun intended) was to make an NHL app that felt more at home on iOS, while also adding in features that the NHL app (and most other apps with NHL info) doesn't have.

    This is only the very first version, so there's more to come (so as long as the NHL API cooperates with us), but here's some of what we've got so far:

    • Set your favorite team and get quick access to it from the Home tab
    • Search for any team or player
    • View full team schedules and player stat logs
    • Read league news
    • View any NHL game since 1917
    • Browse every draft in league history
    • Explore past league award winners

    Of course there's also dark mode, and we have other iOS system integrations planned like widgets.

    Here's a quick gallery of what the app looks like: https://imgur.com/a/Z8cOrLL

    Right now it looks best on the iPhone; we wanted to get the foundation up and the app out so we could focus on an iPad version later.

    We'd definitely love any feedback that you may have, we really want this to be a community-focused app too. Come join us over at /r/BreakawayApp or follow us on Twitter @Breakaway_App.

    You can join the beta from TestFlight here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/J5aGSQJ4

    Thanks everyone!

    LifeCassette: an AI-powered iOS app that helps you express your authentic self by automatically detecting sounds of laughter & emotions

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 11:48 AM PDT

    Hey everyone, I'm Navid and I recently released my first ever iOS app, LifeCassette. The main reason I built LifeCassette is that I wanted to see more authentic and real human expressions on our social platforms! I felt that apps like Instagram had become filled with too many staged pictures and people pretending to be like someone else in front of the camera. I also found it difficult to express my real personality on these platforms. We all have our quirky personalities and unique sense of humor and these do not really come out in a staged picture, but rather in our interactions with people closest to us. So I decided to build LifeCassette.

    Capture Authentic Moments with AI

    LifeCassette is designed to help you capture your authentic personality and natural sense of humor. The really cool thing about LifeCassette is that it automatically detects the sounds of laughter, and emotions like excitement and awww using AI. This makes it super easy to capture your spontaneous moments and share them with friends. You simply press the cassette button on the app and put your phone away and enjoy the moment. Your app finds the laughs and emotions in audio and you can simply cut a snippet around a fun moment and share it. You can now download LifeCassette from the app store:

    App Store Link: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1556181383

    Some additional information about LifeCassette:

    Privacy-Focused Design

    Privacy is a core feature of LifeCassette. To ensure privacy, we worked really hard to design efficient AI algorithms that run on your device and do all the audio processing on your iPhone. In fact LifeCassette doesn't even need an internet connection to work and you can even run it in airplane mode. We also put a lot of effort into designing an interface to make sure that everything is transparent and that you are in control of your own data. You can navigate to the privacy options in the app to learn more and choose how you want to manage your data.

    Journaling your Days

    In addition to detecting emotions, LifeCassette organizes your daily recordings for you. It first uses AI to eliminate the long durations of silence or irrelevant audio in your recordings. This makes it easy to find your intriguing and thought-provoking discussions and share them. LifeCassette can even learn to detect speakers in your conversations, with some help from you labeling the speakers that it finds. Now you have a daily journal of your interactions and emotions at your fingertips!

    Tracking your Emotions and Interactions

    One of my early motivations for creating LifeCassette was to have a way to automatically track emotions. While we are really at the infancy of this in the app and still need to do a lot more work to make this functionality truly practical, we do show some statistics about your emotions and daily interactions in the reflections page. If this is something you are interested in, definitely reach out to me with any ideas you have and features you would like to see.

    I hope you enjoy LifeCassette and can use it to better express yourself to the world! With LifeCassette, we are building a new form of social media together, and your feedback and thoughts in this process will have a real impact! So please directly reach out to me with any suggestions. I also created the subreddit r/LifeCassette to be in touch with you guys and to have an easy means of getting your feature requests as we evolve.

    Check out the app at: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1556181383

    And don't forget to share with your friends!

    Feature Suggestion: Disable Tap to Click While Typing

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 11:06 AM PDT

    Since the track pad size has increased on new MBPs I have found my cursor jumping around all too often. I can stop this by disabling tap to click, but I actually like that feature as it puts less strain on my hand to click on things when I use the trackpad.

    I think it would be pretty easy to implement in the OS some kind of process that detects whether or not you're typing with <500ms latency/error and disable tap to click while you're typing. Nobody uses the keyboard and the trackpad at the same time. This would make typing so much more pleasurable.

    Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

    iPad as a competitor of PS/Xbox?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 07:42 PM PDT

    Just curious to know why can't Apple make iPads, with powerful graphical chips and inbuilt haptic feedback for games, which could (over time) give strong competition to PS/XBOX?

    And add Apple controllers which work with iPad.
