I can make one, yes. We thought it was irresponsible to release it at the time. But hey, times change. Will update shortly.

Yes. It is possible intercept keystrokes for an Apple keyboard that has been previously connected to a computer or laptop. It was tested as part of this vulnerability for Apple shortcuts: https://jestlandia.github.io/apple-shortcuts-vulnerability-1....

You still have to switch it "on" which means it is emitting a BT signal. It leaves users vulnerable to keylogging via BT. It's well-attested and was reported to Apple in Q4 2022.
Ideally the on/off switch would not control both the power and BT.

I like the magic mouse, and I care that I can't charge it while using it. I also care that I have to activate bluetooth in order to use it, even if it's plugged in. Same with the keyboard. WTFF.

It'd be awesome if Apple could make skins for the iMac. That way it wouldn't look as dated in 3-5 yrs.

It's not a conspiracy theory. It's business as usual for AWS. I'm all for righteousness but that's not applicable to the US Government and DOJ. People are bought and sold all the time.

It seems the gift of free AWS cloud services reconciles all harm Amazon continues to do against customers and employees alike. The government will need to locate its backbone.

What happened to the whole "importance of prioritizing safety and ethics in AI development" and "responsible scaling" mission statement? Funny how fast this gets dropped. Where is the government body enforcing accountability?

Amazon is currently providing a LLM-generated summary of these faked customer reviews. To abide by the FTC ruling, Amazon would now have to prove that all of their training data is legitimate customer reviews. Do you think they will actually do that?

As part of the agreement, TMobile has to harden IT security and show proof (e.g., CISO who reports regularly to feds, adoption of Zero Trust, adoption of minimal data retention policy). Why TMobile must have their hand held like this is beyond me.

It's how Amazon pays its fines. Amazon gives away free/heavily discounted cloud to government. It makes government dependent on Amazon, so Amazon won't go bankrupt. Pretty gross.
