Another reason to hate #Apple We're seeing more 2018+ MacBook Pro/Air donations — but Apple's T2 chip means even after iCloud sign-out and reset, the firmware stays locked to the original account.

Without donor contact, these machines are useless. 🙁

I've upcycled ~1,000 older Macs, but T2 era machines will end that. It's controlling, creates e-waste, and will only get worse. #righttorepair matters — Apple couldn't care less.

#Apple erased in their #maps all the cities, villages, and names in southern #Lebanon

What do you call it when you digitally erase a population group from an area to make that area empty or homogeneous, or the deliberate attempt to make a national, ethnic, or religious group wholly or partially disappear from the map?”


[update]No response from Apple yet, it’s unclear if, since, why, when this has been the case. Missing data? error?

That is so so true.
#Windows users are most definitely suckers, as well are #Apple users.

UK demands access to Apple users' encrypted data


The UK government has demanded to be able to access encrypted data stored by Apple users worldwide in its cloud service. Currently only the Apple account holder can access data stored in this way - the tech giant itself cannot view it. The demand has been served by the Home Office under the Investigatory Powers Act (IPA), which compels firms to provide information to law enforcement agencies.


No Matter Who Is At The Top The UK Government Is Still Authoritarian...and wants a Permanent Back Door

Apple's new iPad ad hasn't gone down well with creatives, according to @AxiosNews. The commercial showed a massive hydraulic press crushing musical instruments, arcade games, cameras and paint cans, and reopening to reveal just an iPad. "I'm definitely the target audience for the new iPad Pro but this ad is tone-deaf and insulting to artists of every kind," wrote cartoonist James Kochalka on X. "We think of our tools with reverence and respect, and enjoy a healthy dialogue with them. Our tools are like trusted companions on the journey of art." Here's more.

This appeared several days ago, has apparently been downloaded and yet, despite automatic updates being enabled, it is still showing as a notification. The phone spends all night in a charger, so that shouldn’t be a limiting factor. Just more poor software.

And platforms play very fast and loose with their definition of "malicious code" - as when #Apple blocked #OGApp, an #Instagram ad-blocker that gave you a simple feed consisting of just the posts from the people you followed:

To resolve the Moderator's Trilemma, we need to embrace #subsidiarity: "decisions should be made at the lowest organizational level capable of making such decisions."

#Tesla is basically the #Apple of the car world - great products that are unfortunately locked or semi-locked into a “walled garden”, whilst being *massively* over-priced… But this *is* pretty awesome and beats the #SNES I have in my #Toyota #Camry #Hybrid .
