That's literally an instance of Nitter

Reporting the phone as lost does not wipe the phone. That is a separate step.

This works for Charles Schwab too!

Any app can get a general sense of your location from your IP address (unless you are using a VPN) since Apple's Private Relay feature only works in Safari and Mail, not in third party apps.

I would love the ability require apps to ask permission to access the internet, or even better, a way to limit connections to specific domains like Little Snitch can do on macOS.

Many apps don't have a legitimate need to access the internet such as a photo editing app or a single player game.

iOS shouldn't ask for internet permission by default but it would be great to have as part of Lockdown Mode or another higher security mode. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/07/apple-expands-commitm...

The same is true on iOS (https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/10/17550316/apple-iphone-usb...). Lockdown mode just prevents you from enabling it.

Yes. This is a very similar idea to this recent post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30702660

> Our sacred cow was excellent US-based phone support. That is quite expensive. If there were bugs in our product, users would call in, and our call center costs would increase because we'd have to have more people working. So every week in our team meeting, we would look at summaries of calls, and take on engineering work to address the most common class of problems. That let us scale up the business and still provide friendly and competent phone support, because we were reducing the problems that people called in about.

> Because we had that "sacred cow", every obscure bug that we spent months fixing not only made the product better and were intellectually stimulating to finally figure out, but had a concrete impact on how costly it was to deliver the service.

> What most companies would do here to reduce costs is simple. Don't fix DERP bugs, just charge for it. Don't fix "black screen" bugs, just hide the phone number on your website so people can't figure out to call.

Advocates for openness and yet uses Discord to communicate. Ugh.

The Wikipedia article says Apple has received geofence warrants. It does not say they have provided data in response to them. I do not believe they can since Find My data and Maps search history is end-to-end encrypted.

Find My:

> Device location services information is stored on each individual device and Apple cannot retrieve this information from any specific device. Location services information for a device located through the Find My feature is customer facing and Apple does not have content of maps or alerts transmitted through the service.

Air Tags:

> The interaction is end-to-end encrypted, and Apple cannot view the location of any AirTag or supported third-party products

It does that

> An AirTag that isn't with the person who registered it for an extended period of time will also play a sound when moved so you can find it, even if you don’t use an iOS device.

They have a speaker that plays a sound randomly every few hours when it hasn't been near the owner's device in a while. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212227

It would be nice if the release notes could be updated to say that. Right now it says

> To better protect all Firefox users against side-channel attacks such as Spectre, we’ve introduced Site Isolation. We’ve got your back...errr...side!

Can you actually point to a sentence in the terms of use which say that? I see nothing like that on the PACER website.

He might have to. As far as I can tell they haven’t even started selling individual parts yet. They all just say “Coming soon” on the website. I’m not sure what they are waiting for.

> in an low-friction, anonymous manner

Ah yes completely anonymous, unless you want to withdraw https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032158891-Wha...

They refreshed the iMac with new Intel processors two months after the Apple Silicon transition was announced, I think that is what they were referring to. I doubt any other computers will get new Intel processors at this point.

Another solution is for them to just delete that old device.

Settings -> Security & Privacy -> Check the box next to the old device -> Delete Session

The whole point of Matrix is that you don't have to use matrix.org to use Matrix. Anyone can host a server and talk to anyone on any Matrix server.

If your devices are on iOS 14 / macOS Big Sur then you can just start playing music or a video on one device and the audio automatically switches to that device and pauses on the one you had previously been using.
