it would be crazy not to at least investigate migration paths away from Crowdstrike, or better redundancies for yourself

valuable 2 cents

is there any writeups from the pentesting side of things that we can read to learn more?

If the app doesn't ask, they can't send them. They're opt-in.

Notifications are blocked by default.

If you had the option to block the marketing notifications but still receive the important ones, would you do that?

Yeah this works really well on Android, I'm surprised Apple hasn't taken a similar approach.

You don't want ads from Uber but still want a push when your ride arrives? Just block the ads channel in settings.

As you said I'm sure there's some bad apps out there that only have one channel, but I haven't noticed any. The big apps seem to support this quite well.

The apps don't have permission to do that either unless you grant them.

On Android it does.

I found this, not sure how reliable it is but it mentions a photographer being extorted $350.

> a) you speak something roughly approaching English

Whoa there, down with that sort of stuff now friend. That's not a nice thing to say.

> That person is currently in prison.

But isn't Anne Sacoolas walking free?

You haven't "basically gone through this", since person that killed your sister was held accountable for their actions.

Anne Sacoolas was not held accountable, that family has no closure unlike yours.

> If it wasn't an accident or if she was in fact negligent, that's another story

She is to be charged with "causing death by _dangerous_ driving", not an accident.

All that being said I'm sorry about your sister and I hope you're doing OK.

What kind of music are you looking for?

If the iPad was a standalone business, and had no access to the Apple ecosystem or brand, do you think it would still generate ~$20B/year?

Obviously we can't know, but the point is success is relative.

Some people might expect better from Apple and so their standard for success is higher than $20B/year on one of their flagship products.

I believe that's the Barnum effect.

> Apple makes no distinction between companies on it's platform that compete with it and those that do not, they are all treated the same, so it's hard to see an argument that this is mainly targeted at their competitors holding water.

There was that story last year about them ranking their own apps above competing 3rd party apps when searching.

> And as for the organs, much of the west ( especially in europe ) take people's organs without their explicit consent (it's called opt-out organ "donation".

I feel like equating the forcible harvesting of organs to opt out organ donation is extremely disingenuous.

> There are objectively right and wrong answers in politics.

What would be considered objectively right or wrong?

> And oh boy, did they ever.

I cannot wait until the MBP 2025 with the whole keyboard replaced by the touchbar..

Who needs tactile feedback?

`CMD + Shift + F` applies formatting.

Unfortunately it must be done every time, no autoformatting by default it seems.

>It’s easier to make vague funny one liners which reach the top of the page, drowning out that 8 page report on the telecom industry.

>Bashing a political candidate? Channel crusher.

I see this all the time on Reddit in subs like /r/politics and /r/news, sarcastic quips get thousands of upvotes and dominate the discussion with no room for any dissenting opinions. Makes it real hard to find out who's being genuine in their approach and who's towing the party line for upvotes. Reddit isn't great for discussion though.

I suppose my question is, what stops your forum from becoming an echo chamber? Are "vague funny one liners" and "Bashing a political candidate" considered bad speech even if they're not leading to crazier philosophies? Would the hundreds of one liners about Trump in /r/politics be considered bad speech? Where can I find genuine discourse?

> which we know from statistics

What statistics?

Why do you not see mobile the same as general purpose computer? What's the difference besides form factor?

What apps do this? How do they distribute on iOS without the App Store?

None of which you can opt out of.

I'd happily host my own apps and pay the hosting/bandwidth than pay the $99 a year for Apple Developer Account + 30% of all sales.

But Apple won't let me, if I want my app to run on iOS I have no choice BUT to use their bandwidth.

> And Apple gives this all away for free.

$99 a year actually, plus 30% of all sales.

Yeah I'm a younger generation and I believe macOS and Apple's software in general has gotten worse and worse.

I've wasted hours this week wrestling with issues in Xcode 11 and the command line tools because of bugs in Apple's code.

The bluetooth on my MBP2015 constantly drops, requiring a full restart in order to work again. Apps run slow whenever I have multiple monitors attached.

And don't get me started on the MBP2018 hardware, that damn keyboard keeps sticking.

I am not impressed with Apple's recent offerings.

What part of their comment specifically made you conclude they're a bigoted piece of shit?

> It's basically a complete support of the status quo.

I've seen many people spout this off as if it's self-evident, and I can't for the life of me understand why.

The status quo isn't some neutral, natural resting state that will continue on until otherwise affected, it needs to be _constantly_ maintained.

Being non-political doesn't maintain the status quo, because maintaining the status quo is an _active_ endeavour, in the same way a plane doesn't keep flying forever just because its engines turn off.

Wait, what country puts you on a government registry for buying a kitchen knife?
