I thought, from the way I understood the system, that Apple's iMessage already worked in this manner. I'm not under any delusion that any electronic communications are actually secure and I operate accordingly, but the publicly released documents seem to point to Apple not having access to the keys.
There are other ways around this, of course, such as allowing access to your account to an adversary so they can get their own copy of the keys, etc. This method, at the very least, keeps out the script kiddie hacker types and other low-hanging fruit. But again, the system is already designed in such a way that Apple should just tell Australia to go fuck themselves. Shut off any and all Apple services to the entire country and let them sort it out internally. Only turn things back on once they've regained senses.
Of course, a large American company actually taking a stand for anything is unlikely to happen so we'll probably just see more workarounds like the aforementioned one while the company keeps up the illusion of security.
I think I've seen this same misleading bullshit article title literally once a month since 9/11/01.
So the administrative (read: Windows) network got some malware at a nuke plant? Shocking. I'd honestly think I'd be more shocked if the headline said that a nuclear facility had never gotten its Windows network breached, because I've never seen one that hasn't been.
Now, if the article showed that someone was fucking with the reactors or other critical systems, I'd be worried. But every article for the last 16 years has always been this same kind of clickbait garbage.
And it was Fox News involved in a M&A, everyone would be applauding this. Even though this is hearsay and not backed up with even a single fact, it's already the end of the world.
Jesus Christ, hyperbole much? Trump has already been in office nearly six months, have you seen that the emergency services have stopped responding to calls? Have you seen the hospitals just turning people away en masse? Nothing of the sort is happening, I assure you.
However, the threat of fines and imprisonment is real in Canada, at least in the province of Ontario according to the OP, for holding a fucking POWERED DOWN CELL PHONE at a RED LIGHT. And somehow to you, that is preferable to having to deal with the headache of living in a free country that honestly seems to be operating just as it has always been.
I'm being serious, maybe you're just being snarky but no one is being left to die in a fire because someone you don't like got elected to be President of the United States. But the nanny-state IS real, and I for one choose to live taking the risk of being T-Boned by some moron than have the authorities breathing down my neck at every turn.
We should all sympathize with the H1B abusing foreign company that forces employees to work in dangerous, insect infested offices. Because they hate Trump too! We gotta stand together!
There is no fucking way any employer will EVER let someone work 16 hours a day and pay them what they're currently paying them to work 40. It's not so much greed (well, it is) but the view that downtime=loafing=slackers. And slackers don't deserve more money or raises or perks, they need to shape up, get to work, or find some busy work to do. Also, it's the people who are so terrible at their job that it takes them 60 hours a week to do what I can do in 15, but they always look so busy and "persevere" through those tough times (that they caused through their own incompetence and mismanagement) that they get all the raises, bonuses and promotions.
No, it would be nice, but it's a pipe dream that automation will ever do anything except destroy jobs and the middle class.
We've been hearing about this shit since the 60s, and in the meantime the productivity of the average American worker has skyrocketed, while their pay has stagnated or been on decline since some time in the late 70s I believe. What does this trend tell you?
Another thing you might notice is that if an app is listed at, say, 350MB in the App Store, that after you download it and check the actual storage/usage it's using on the actual phone, it can be around 275 because the iPhone only downloads the bundle of resources for the actual screen size you have. So, the app size listed in the store is not always an accurate representation of the actual space used in the end.
This is a ridiculous comparison. 200GB microSD cards are the largest available. Not to mention that many apps won't run from the SD card, or run poorly, and the performance is lacking.
The largest onboard storage I've seen on Android is 64GB. So, you have 64GB onboard + 200GB on a slow SD card, and you have 264GB of storage.
An iPhone can come with up to 256GB of real, honest to goodness onboard storage. So it's still not really possible to get MORE storage on an Android than on an iPhone. (Give or take 8GB, if that makes the difference then you are an edge use case and statistically insignificant)
This, and probably a lot of SuperUltraUberMegaHD graphics to distinguish your app on the NEW 28.8K display that you can TotallyTellTheDifference(tm) on the 5" screen.
Wait, so the iPhone is behind in storage? Wha-how?
I didn't know Samsung et al. sold an Android with more than 256GB of onboard storage, which is the largest iPhone you can buy. In fact, I just looked, and the Galaxy S8 ONLY comes in a 64GB model, at least in the USA.
The iPhone comes in 32GB, 128GB, or 256GB.
So, we've learned again, just because someone feeds you bullshit and puts it in BOLD TEXT doesn't make it true.
Or, somehow, 64GB > 256GB in Android fanboy land.
Android is the one that has ALWAYS lacked in onboard storage. Their hackaround was being able to move apps to the SD card (on phones that actually still supported one), which generally made them run like shit since the SD card is so much slower than onboard flash. I suspect you don't know as much about these things as you think you do.
Being admitted to the hospital because you say you want to commit suicide or because you have harmed yourself is a predictor that you might try to kill yourself??
Wal-Mart could just hire a miniumum-wage delivery driver for each store and have deliveries all day long. If every pizza and Chinese restaurant can do it, so can Wal-Mart.
The telephone system existed just fine for a century BEFORE the advent of Caller ID. There are already ways for the phone companies to provide the caller's information to law enforcement if they can demonstrate that a crime occurred or is going to occur. That, and I'm fairly certain that blocking Caller ID doesn't have any effect on emergency calls, the E911 systems get your info and location regardless of whether or not the consumer CID is blocked.
This sounds more like businesses and politicians are probably butthurt that people can call them up and anonymously tell them what fuckwits they are. Bomb threats didn't just start happening in the 1990s, and there have always been ways to trace those types of calls. Fuck this shit.
Not the least of which was injecting political commentary every chance they got. Oh, and you know, not really showing "all-sports, all the time" anymore. Their base tuned out, and here they are. No sympathy from me, and no amount of tech can save you when you essentially give the middle finger to your bread and butter.
FiOS is great I'm sure, you know, for the small fraction of the population that actually live in their service footprint. And there are millions of people who can only get satellite, so of course they're happy with what they have. I seem to be the only happy cable customer I know...
It should be easier to determine what Chinese servers to block at the firewall than to play Microsoft's game of obfuscating where the telemetry data is being sent to.

Hey look guys, found the defeatist NSA shill!

I wonder what the minimum wage is for paid shill?
You provide such a well thought out and eloquent retort.
Have you honestly never stopped to think that maybe, quite possibly, you've just been seriously ill-informed?
I'm sure you haven't. Keep on keeping on then, my liberal friend.
Great, the POTUS uses a fucking shitty Android phone that probably has been exploited more than the local cut-rate whore behind Burger King.

Sorry to hear that you live in a socialist nanny-state.

There's more signalling going on in this one summary than every stoplight in Manhattan.
