Up until now, Apple kept an encryption key for things like your personal photos and messages stored on their iCloud servers. That meant, if you ever forgot your passcode or otherwise locked yourself out, Apple could recover that data for you. But, side effect, that also meant a government could subpoena them, or a super-villain could theoretically ...

December 16, 2022 21:01 - 13 minutes - 12.6 MB

Are the Apple Watch, Pixel Watch, Samsung Watch, Garmin, Fitbit and all the other smart wearables functional or just a fad?

December 16, 2022 20:58 - 17 minutes - 15.9 MB

Does Intel's future lie in foundry? Can AMD ever grow its market share? Will MediaTek compete at the higher end? Is custom back at Qualcomm? And will anyone catch up to Apple?

Both desktop and mobile silicon are hitting the limits of physics. Power draw keeps increasing while enclosures only get smaller. Process shrinks are becoming more expensive and time-consuming.

The Elon Phone

December 16, 2022 20:52 - 10 minutes - 9.28 MB

Is Elon Musk actually going to make a phone? That’s what approximately 42,069 headlines in my feed are saying right now. Not a Tesla phone, Space X Starlink phone, or Neuralink phone, though that’d be kinda hella cool. Not even a Boring phone, despite a lot of people saying phones have gotten at least a little bit boring lately. But a Twitter phone.

More than FTX imploding — and exploding — at least at time of recording. More than Mark Zuckerberg laying off 11,000 people. More than Apple momentarily junking up the App Store with gambling ads. More than the FBI allegedly test-driving Pegasus spyware a couple or few years back. Elon Musk speedrunning social...

Why can't your iPhone take the 5th?

September 07, 2022 22:08 - 6 minutes - 5.58 MB

Should our phones have the right to remain silent? To plead the 5th? There’s doctor-patient privilege, attorney-client privilege, clergy-penitent privilege, and spousal privilege.  To the best of my understanding, and with all the appropriate caveats and limits of scope, in many jurisdictions, our doctors, therapists, lawyers, priests, pastors, husbands, and wives, cannot be compelled to testify or provide evidence against us.
