“ In no-cloud mode the only way to interact with the devices is through their app, and an app isn’t always the most convenient way to interact with devices in the home.”

iOS 17.6.1 - can't install via safari. Message: To install the Epic Games Store on your iPhone, update to iOS 17.6 or later.

I wrote about it months ago when they did it. Why wouldn't it? Because... it's illegal (under EU law)

But the answer is: pay or consent "does not achieve the objective of preventing the accumulation of personal data by gatekeepers". See https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_24_... (also linked via the tweet elsewhere in this discussion)

Shows how NON compliant Alphabet was before DMA ;)

"Make infra compliant, but try to pull some shit with billing, to see how serious the EC is about DMA. That way, if they're serious, we're ready, but if not, we can still make money."

Firefox on macOS can use iCloud stored passkeys.

If there is a shit show, it is ESXi. I know plenty who've migrated pain free to Proxmox. Back-up works great too. All for free.

VMware has a ton of stuff that others are nowhere near, although those offerings are useful for a minority who, as you say, will have to bite the bullet.

The setup is a deal or they set something up? Please revise to "set up" if the char limit is OK

The ruling says "if necessary...". This swings both ways: It is not necessary to charge, and also not possible, due to the GDPR.

Faecbook can run ads, and support their business, and do it without profiling everyone.

Have free: non personalized ad supported. Have paid: no ads.

FB making it clear here that they really want and need your data.

Can't individuals (on their local systems) just blacklist those root CAs independently of the browsers? I can do that today to trust and distrust any certificate out there. Problem solved right?

"Deliberately blind" implies the use of encryption (by a platform or provider).

One solution I think is to provide a user side toggle or option to enable encryption. Then it is not deliberate from the provider's perspective, but a user choice/preference. And it is not unreasonable for the user to expect privacy (encryption), ergo this choice defaults to encrypted.

At worst the provider is intentionally blinded by the user, and not deliberately blind.

But do we move the argument back to whether including (the choice of) encryption to mean deliberately blind?

Our keys are documented here*.

Hyperlink with broken certificates. Fun.

Facecbook is evil, and deletes my back history to this page.

A problem of the mentioned SVCB records is that while theoretically they're capable of HTTP (unencrypted etc), http is not mentioned in the upcoming drafts directly and no browser supports HTTP via SVCB. Only HTTPS.

Vectis is a dumpster fire.

This is an attempt to prevent hardware for multi channel opus, for use in film/TV, and eventually inhibit the open source CODECs. Because only Dolby is allowed to have hardware for this.

Needs an email-based sign-up (friction) but the theory seems good. Help train the AI :)
