  • Sounds like blame should go entirely to the race-baiter’s headlines, rather than blaming normal headlines for not compensating hard enough with overt patronization.

    Like for anyone who isn’t black, having black friends is common and normal but calling them your “black friends” sounds weird, even in a positive context, because it’s othering.

    “Local Muslim Man Stops Runaway Bus” sounds weirdly othering too. Any headline artificially injecting an identity for no obvious reason sounds shady.









  • Disclaimer: I only use iPhones for security testing, so this is more from related literature rather than first-hand experience.

    IIRC the hardening unattended reboot could offer is already covered better by options like disabling biometric unlock, security key 2FA, enabling lockdown mode, enabling advanced data protection, disabling iCloud, disabling USB accessories, and so forth. Also unattended reboot seems like an easy prank vector or foot gun to render a device permanently inaccessible (i.e., device always reboots immediately after pin entry) requiring recovery mode reset or restore to fix.







  • and nobody will do anything to stop it

    Many are trying, though options are severely limited by the fact that, two years ago, the entire US government was gift-wrapped and handed to fascists by a bunch of democrats who figured “why bother?”

    I don’t know who they’ll run, but I know they’ll be worthless

    It sounds like you think there won’t be presidential primaries. Or perhaps you think you aren’t allowed to vote in them? You are. And what’s more, since participation is quite low historically your vote likely has quite a bit more influence in the primary than in the general election.




  • Individual photos could be transferred. And most of their recent SOCs can do on-device image interpretation. That’s how their Photos app captions and labels pictures. It’d probably work OK for large objects even at low fidelity So I think that’s possible.

    Still not really sure how they would capture video. At nearly any resolution it would heavily tax the grain of rice size battery, on top of the processing power needed for encoding a video stream, and that’s assuming their new chip includes P2P WiFi capability to solve the bandwidth issue.

    What I expected they might try was passive spatial mesh construction using either SLAM or LiDAR to integrate with their spatial computing and accessibility or indoor navigation. But if all it’s doing is describing what can be captured in a photo, that sounds plausible.
