How do you tell the user that "the screen is unauthorized - do you want to use it anyway?" if the screen has been compromised and could tap on anything?
There is a speaker and a few external buttons.
Audio could prompt you to hit a button sequence...
From all of the accounts that I have seen or heard about this I gather that the "Error 53" problem only rears it's head during an upgrade or restore operation.
That is all well and good, but it is not clear to me whether or not the fingerprint scanner, once "un-paired" from the secure enclave continues to function immediately after the repair.
If it continues to function until an upgrade/restore then how the hell is that adding any kind of security?
And, as far as the right to repair, it has been stated many times already, but this whole thing is easily avoided with a few strategically placed user prompts.
I just get the impression that this entire thing is Apple dropping the ball and then trying to change the narrative after the fact by insisting "SECURITY!"
The primary objective with a background check is to determine honesty
I know first hand about this. I have a misdemeanor on my record but, at the time, I didn't realize it was classified as such. I filled out a job application where they asked if I had ever been convicted of a misdemeanor. I said no.
I was offered the job and even got my first paycheck before the background check completed and they withdrew the job offer because I had lied.
I made very certain to be upfront about this in all future job dealings and it has never been a problem since.
Yeah, you are right, this really doesn't seem like a very high bar to entry and it really only makes sense to do background checks on these people anyway.
They really do seem to think that rules don't apply to them don't they?
Something tells me that this has something to do with Azure.
Their cloud platform utilizes standard shipping container-sized modules full of air-cooled, modular components that they can stack up (or remove) to an outdoor datacenter arrangement.
I have a top-of-the-line Samsung "smart" TV from 2013 and within a year I stopped using any of the "smart" features and just hooked up a Roku which works way more reliably.
From day one, I disabled the gesture control and voice commands because how hard is it to press a few buttons? My laziness is legendary and yet I find gestures and voice control to be tedious.
Yeah, just deprive yourself of sleep for about 3 days and you will start to explore this fine line between fantasy and reality. I have actually experienced waking dreams in this state, where I am interacting with both my own imaginings as well as people in the real world at the same time.
This seems to imply that the astronomical phenomenon is trying to pull one over of the astronomer.
This just sounds like hubris.
Astronomer 1: "As you can see the supernova..." Astronomer 2: "Wait, doesn't a star turn into a black hole or a neutron star after collapse?" Astronomer 1: "...... IMPOSTER!"
I am glad I am not the only one who likes this feature.
Sometimes, when I see a mass transition to a way of doing things across different vendors, I get the impression that some kind of new revelation struck everyone at once. Like "OMG this is so much better and we should have been doing it this way from the beginning! Don't you think? Well? DON'T YOU?!"
I sometimes wonder if I somehow got thrown out of the human continuum and am witnessing the collective dream state / mass delusion from afar.
As mentioned above, I bought 256K sticks for my 286... 1 at a time over months as I saved up lawn mowing money... then it turned out it was really just throwing money down the drain as the 286 couldn't really utilize it (except as a RAM drive... which is what I ended up using it for).
Yeah, honestly, if they had just rebranded to Toshiba and dropped OCZ completely, I would never have dug any further and just assumed that the venerable Toshiba hard drive division was making a push into the SSD market.
That brand is dead to me. I had issue after issue with the Vertex II and RMA'd that thing at least 3 times. The last time, I didn't even take the new one they sent me out of the box, I just threw it in a drawer.
I know, things change... but I am happy with my Samsung SSDs.
Chrome on the other hand has been on the rise for some time and is the leader in both markets therefore it's a likely target.
Yeah, wonder why that is? Google was more aggressive about pushing Chrome than MS ever was about pushing Windows 10.
Now that everyone has taken the bait and installed Chrome and see that it works well with their investment in Google services... of course they are going to justify its use.
Yeah, I use NoScript but I am very attuned to going through every new page I visit and temporarily allowing 1 thing at a time (and sometimes having to resubmit forms over and over) until the page works well enough to use. I don't mind doing this at all.
I know that most people will never do this.
I have tried installing NoScript for some people who liked the idea of being more secure in this way. Then later was horrified that any time they ran into any problem they just permanently allowed all on the page or even just globally allowed all... completely defeating the purpose.

It is so sad that they have moved down to a medium which nobody knows or cares about.
I mean, this makes the television antennas in all of our phones practically useless now....

I am sure it can be defeated with enough effort... but the question is: When is it too hard for the masses to bother with it?
Nobody can spoof FTL... It is impossible to move faster than light... everyone knows this...

Uber and Lyft will need to make a hardline statement sooner or later.
They should just pull out and let the people's outcry (or lack of one) be heard.
The services are either too scared that their wouldn't be an outcry or they're just too greedy to give up revenue in one market.

They know they have sunk a bunch of VC into it so it BETTER take off?
Yeah, that all sounds great... except, where is all of that data going to overlay?
It makes me think of that screenshot from the early 2000's of a web browser with about an inch of visible web page underneath all of the toolbars.
I have enough trouble wading through the information overload we have already.
How are you supposed to spot the creeps then?

Except that early on, if you used the Intel storage drivers on Windows 7 with an Intel SSD, the drive would end up burning out faster than an OCZ.
I spent so much time with Intel support on this and the final resolution was for them to tell me to use the stock Windows storage driver.
So my experience with Intel SSDs are almost as bad as OCZ.
This ... so much this..
As mentioned above, I bought 256K sticks for my 286... 1 at a time over months as I saved up lawn mowing money... then it turned out it was really just throwing money down the drain as the 286 couldn't really utilize it (except as a RAM drive... which is what I ended up using it for).
But you could play Eye of the Beholder III with the math co-processor...
I had to play that game on my friend's 386 because my 286 didn't have one.
Yeah, honestly, if they had just rebranded to Toshiba and dropped OCZ completely, I would never have dug any further and just assumed that the venerable Toshiba hard drive division was making a push into the SSD market.

I know, things change... but I am happy with my Samsung SSDs.
I spend almost $400 for 4 x 256KB SIMMs at one point for my 286... then realized that it could not address anything above 640K anyway...
