Would be interesting to see Apple show which apps accessed what photo and perhaps why!

agreed

The interesting thing that a lot of people forget about is that many people are “stuck” in their homes because of this.

For example, an older couple whose kids have left could downsize, but often can’t afford it due to that generation trying to maximize ROI.

So, the system is broken even for folks who want a different home, and the incentive to fix it may be that flexibility for existing homeowners to get a better fit for themselves.

It’s definitely not zero. The data should just stay on device, which is currently a flaw of the data and privacy protections offered in most smartphone applications.

Can’t wait for all of the deceptive corporate marketing against this!

Instagram’s API tokens constantly expire for me regardless of whether they’re supposed to be “long-lived” or not. They last like 90 days which is super annoying.

it’d be great if you could find a way to screen out “lurkers” and “shoppers” … in other words, people who just like the idea of having a startup

The issue may be that the old binary is still able to run.

I’ll cross post what I wrote to folks on the MacRumors forum:

I believe this may be an intentional change to temporarily avoid a security issue, which otherwise hadn't been fixed yet: https://theevilbit.github.io/posts/cve-2022-32929/ (as shown in the blog post and embedded Twitter thread linked earlier)

> The issue is that an attacker can invoke the `AppleMobileBackup` utility and make a backup to a custom location. Thus completely bypassing the protected backup location.

The issue was "fixed" on the macOS side by updating the binary to not support this behavior, but the problem is that you can still swap in a binary from an older version of macOS to get around this.

So, presumably, the problem is blocked from the iOS side now until the issue is resolved from the iOS side to make the older macOS binaries not work with newer iOS. I think it's safe to assume there wasn't time to fix this fully (since it needs to behave differently depending on the version of macOS making the request to avoid making older Macs entirely incompatible despite the prompt) and therefore the fix is temporary, but it would be a shame if it was permanent.

This is accurate. I have a project that I don’t recognize stuck on my Console as well.

Obviously! That’s the whole reason they don’t just use the Safari modal

What? Where does it say you lose GV

This is from 2020.

They were already less cool as of late. Gone were a lot of the “one game per machine” things and instead they just had a bunch of crane games and these “multi-title” machines with standardized controls. So, you could sit anywhere and play the same thing unless it had unique controls/displays or could still justify its own cabinet.

Ugh

Reminds me of our Café Wifi project https://benguild.com/contents/#Caf%C3%A9%20Wifi

Did they have any actual reasons for the limits that outweighed the equal access legitimacy?

Only apps that do this sort of tracking have to ask. Otherwise there is no need. Does that make sense?

Yeah this is super easy to do in After Effects

I think the only reason I pay for GitHub is to have a custom domain. Is Cloudflare offering this for free?

All I want is that 50% idle timer that the laptops do.

Japan is honestly desperate for these types of PR candidates. I almost went for it but they have a large death and exit tax, if I’m not mistaken.

A friend did it and left afterward for Australia because he realized he didn’t want to be middle-aged in Japan as a foreigner, and also regretted it in the end due to the tax liability.

Yeah the return fraud is also a problem for third-party Amazon sellers.

Buyers can essentially destroy the item and return it claiming warehouse damage, and then Amazon won’t always take responsibility even if it was sent to FBA near perfect or new.

With Thunderbolt couldn’t you have external coprocessors?

That would be awesome, but I’m not sure if the surface terrain detail is there yet. For flight from far away you might be able to get away with it, though.

You can do the same thing in Japan for less than $1000.

That’s sad. The developer community is really awesome to meet with in person during these events.

I was hoping it would be moved to later in the year, not moved online.

People who suggest PWAs have only done web development or have no budget for native engineers

I hate to say it but Gandi seems like they’re in a quality freefall. I had a domain there a year or two back because they were one of the only registrars that supported that particular extension... and man, so many problems just with simple tasks like updating the WHOIS info and credit card for renewal.

This is basic stuff.
