Apple has a list of all metadata that uses regular encryption instead of E2EE: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303

The linked post is incorrect, Apple Music doesn't touch or replace any local files. iTunes Match has also been DRM-free since launch.

Pixel 7 is made in China according to this tweet: https://twitter.com/vvaiibhav/status/1580454957580681216

WhatsApp runs on devices with iOS 12 or newer, that means even an iPhone 6 can still run it.

5 years of security updates, not necessarily full OS updates.

Google has been completely silent about it, just yesterday another person reported the 911 bug with the Pixel 6 Pro.

These two are not the same thing. Every app is allowed to serve you personalized ads, without asking. ATT is about cross app/site tracking between other companies, which is something Apple has never done.

The Huawei Fit performed significantly worse compared to the Apple Watch in this sleep test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPqtfC70QTU

monero, without dev tax and pre-mine, simply doesn't have the funds to compete in research with other, more well funded projects. I don't see how a different emission curve would have helped here.

MRL work is progressing on Seraphis[1] which will allow for significantly higher ring sizes without increasing the transaction size. A proof of concept is currently in development.

Low power mode wasn't enabled by default on my machine.

Apple asks you if you want personalized ads in the app store and news app: https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/2/22654121/apple-personalize...

I have found AMP to be an awful experience. It messes with native scrolling physics, pages are often incomplete or straight up broken. It also disables Reader mode on iOS so I'm always forced to load the full web page anyway. Luckily iOS 15 web extensions have solved that problem.

FWIW Amplosion (paid iOS extension to automatically redirect AMP pages) is quite highly ranked on the app store.

It clearly isn't only techies that dislike it so much that they actually pay to get rid of AMP.

These images appear to be significantly downsized for the blog, you can't use them to judge sharpness.

The CLI does support Ledger but it uses the same monerod binary as the GUI.

Did you export your view key with Ledger? If you refuse it can cause hanging and crashes. With exported view key and the latest version there shouldn't be any of the issues you are describing.

When was the last time you tried the desktop GUI? It has improved significantly over the years.

Also you should try out Feather wallet[1], it has a more classic Qt design.

The Wikipedia article is incorrect, Monero still uses ring signatures. Bulletproofs are used as efficient range proofs in RingCT to hide the amount in transactions.

Did you open an issue? There is no known bug like you are describing regarding hardware wallets and full nodes.

This has always been the case when uploading something to the cloud unencrypted. You never had any privacy in the first place.

Last year, for instance, Apple reported 265 cases to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, while Facebook reported 20.3 million

According to [1] it does seem like Apple didn't do any wide scale scanning of iCloud Data.

The CSAM detection technical summary [1] only mentions iOS and iPadOS.

If it does come to macOS it will be part of Photos.app, as that's the only way to interact with iCloud Photos. I would recommend you to avoid that app and cloud in general if you care about privacy.

OCSP isn't "scanning". It checks if a certificate is revoked.

Don't use the cloud if you care about privacy, or encrypt the data yourself before uploading. Has always been the case.

Next, iOS and iPadOS will use new applications of cryptography to help limit the spread of CSAM online, while designing for user privacy. CSAM detection will help Apple provide valuable information to law enforcement on collections of CSAM in iCloud Photos.

The CSAM scanning is only getting added to iOS and iPadOS. If it does getting added to Mac at some point it will be part of Photos.app, not the general OS.

This is already possible today on both iCloud Photos and Google Photos. Both scan for CSAM server side.

This is already possible on both iOS (iCloud Photos) and Android (Google Photos) as both scan for CSAM server side.

How is this iCloud specific? You could do the same with Google Photos or OneDrive.

This is already possible today with things like iCloud Photos, Google Photos, OneDrive etc.

Monero's PoW algorithm is RandomX [1], which is optimized for CPU mining. While it is possible to mine with GPUs, it is significantly slower and unprofitable.

Yes, as far as I can see the draft talks about crypto-asset service providers explicitly.
