All the “portless iPhone” rumors have seemed unlikely because of DFU mode.

If they can now enter DFU wirelessly from the initial bootloader in silicon, they might actually be close to a portless iPhone

I… I know they made colorful iMacs… But… What was the marketing idea behind this ad?

What did they mean by “No artificial colors” for a computer…?

If an attacker gets access to your system, they will be able to ensure you can’t get rid of their access

It will persist across operating system installs

However, this requires them to get access first

North/south imply certain regions can’t improve and is far worse than developed/developing

If layperson words didn’t have an issue with 1st/3rd world, you wouldn’t see so many comments about it

Yup, it does change. It was attempted to mean “poor” and it’s been reappropriated since

If you’re trying to use modern language, it’s “developed” and “developing”

We went with moissanite, and everyone thinks its an insanely expensive diamond

Moissanite is sparklier than diamond, so for what people look at in rings, it ends up looking better than diamond

Starting with the iPhone 14, they put the last generation processor in the non-pro and the current generation processor in the pro

The weird thing here is that the 15 non-pro (the new processor from the 14 gen - A16) has a faster NPU than the M1 processor that does support the AI feature

The only possible technical reason is because they put such an anemic amount of RAM in their phones. Otherwise it’s entirely an artificial limitation

Running top of the line models does require a lot of RAM, so it’s not an entirely ridiculous theory.

The one I run on my desktop needs at least 12 gigs of VRAM

Sure. I just think this might be the first time that the current iPhone would be missing a feature on the next iOS update

I’d guess most iPhone 15 owners would have assumed their phone was new enough for the feature

One thing to note is that they announced Apple intelligence is only coming to the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max for their iOS release

Netflix is limited to 720p on Linux due to the DRM they use… maybe OP was confused because of that?

My assumption is that because “the state claimed the rights” for that specific book makes me think this is a special case in their laws

Can a US state or the federal government claim the right to someone else’s writing?

The Netherlands use the same copyright laws?

I always assumed that was just the US copyright system

That’s probably why he was salivating at hiring all their developers when the OpenAI board members fired the CEO

Yeah, and as densities have increased, fewer passes have been needed to even do that

With an HDD, your operating system can (mostly) directly access bits on the magnetic disks, so you can wipe them by just writing 0 to it over and over (historically, there was a paper saying 7 times would make any bits unrecoverable - this changed as density got higher)

With SSDs, your operating system has very little control over what bits a write is touching, a lot more was moved into the firmware on the flash memory itself

So SSDs need a special command “Secure Erase” to wipe them

For your analogy, you can’t put more water in a sponge that is completely saturated

Trying to compress a compressed file doesn’t really work - at least not for a meaningful gain in storage size with zip, bzip, 7zip, gzip, xz, lzma…

They’re already using HEIC/HEIF

I would be disappointed if they’re compressing it even more on iCloud. You can’t generally meaningfully compress a compressed file

I’d disregarded compression as a possibility because the wording is “full resolution photos and videos are safely stored in iCloud”

I never made that claim, my man

I just wanted some more information about how the on-device database corruption led to restoring pictures

Those are generally opposites

On spinning disks, it’s significantly easier to restore data after a delete, but it’s not normally as easy on flash storage like they’re using

The article specifically states that iCloud wasn’t related to the bug
