Same, I loved building my own PC but I also have a Mac mini because Macs just ✨fucking work✨ always

This but non-sarcastically. I have a Mac mini and I don’t think I’ve ever touched the power button (except after plugging in of course, but then you’re already fiddling)

That cilinder Mac Pro was a fever dream but I still love the design

brother I don’t think you read the post at all

This really should be the unofficial name of places like lemmy and reddit

You’re either 11 years old, trolling or highly regarded (or all of the above)

Don’t write code, why do you need a computer to do your math? Just do it on paper ffs.

15 engineers for managing infrastructure?? Are they setting up servers by hand?

The question regarding Bluetooth and plants is the giveaway this is an r/conspiracy-level post, and that you have no idea what you’re talking about lmao.

Did I get it wrong?

Oh boy, yes. This network tracks items specifically built on this protocol. It has nothing to do with “tracking your MAC address”. That’s already done whenever you walk into a train station and goes over WiFi. Which you can disable.

MAC addresses are not unique. If you know the seed for it’s random generation you might be able to track it across WiFi networks that you own, but you’ll already know where the user is since you own the fucking network. This is not a worldwide tracking network that can follow your every move.

If that’s what you’re worried about, I suggest ditching your phone completely. Because the “worldwide tracking network” that already works is called the cellular network, no need to build another one.

It an answer a C-level exec would give when they don’t want to actually answer.

Linux is a lifestyle

Yeah this guy has issues

What was it again? “Don’t attribute to malice when it can be attributed to stupidity” something something?

Exactly, the penalty is “losing” 10 billion moneys. It’s a high-risk/high-reward game that Apple can afford.

Nobody said that? What imaginary argument are you having?

To put this into perspective, if you make $100k/y: this is $30

In other words: a joke

Edit: and full disclosure: I’m a full-blown Apple fan

Just don’t give them access to your texts, contacts and photos? Like with any app that requests permissions it doesn’t need.

If you mount your phone to your motorcycle the vibrations can mess up the tiny motors that are in the camera to make it focus.

The vulnerability seems to be that it can read content filled into a page, and since lastpass will autofill your password (usually, if enabled) it’s easy to read.

iCloud Keychain requires user intervention by default (using your fingerprint) so it can’t be autofilled in the background.

Still, many people would be vulnerable because 3rd party password managers are so popular.

I was talking about the iCloud Keychain, they are specifically not stored in the browser so malware can’t access it.

It’s feels like the article is intentionally vague about it but this does not seem to affect iCloud password keychain, as that requires user intervention (using your fingerprint) to fill your password, right?
