For taxing, you would need to determine the value, or possibly profits. And I have no idea how Chinese tax laws work. But in most countries I would expect profits to be taxable.
I suspect there is nothing new here actually. Just that some scammer was given someone else's bitcoins for trading, didn't return them, and probably made a lame excuse, which the court then didn't refute.
What I was getting at is that I thought GreyKey was still getting past the basic whole file system encryption, but that it was stymied getting to individual app files that had been encrypted until the app opened...
Nobody ever got past the encryption. People managed to find the passcode - and if you have the passcode then you can unlock the phone and access all the files on it.
Finding the passcode could be done in theory by trying out all passcodes. Apple prevents this or tries to prevent this by making you wait longer until you can try another passcode; more than an hour after ten attempts. Or you can set up your phone to erase everything after ten wrong attempts. _That_ protection is what they got around.
But you can protect your phone: Trying a passcode takes 80 milliseconds _even if you got around any protection that Apple puts into place_. With a 6 digit passcode, that's a million combinations, it takes 80ms times a million to try all combinations, that's a bit less than a day. So you take ten digits, or eight letters and digits, and nobody can get in in your life time, independent of what Apple is doing.
Of course what they are doing now makes sure that you cannot even crack a phone with a 4 digit code.
No, all "content" is encrypted. It's the meta data (file sizes, folder structure) that is unencrypted.
Everything is encrypted at least with a key built into the CPU, and a key stored on the flash drive. The key on the flash drive means that the whole iPhone can be erased in a millisecond by erasing that key. _Most_ things use the passcode as an additional key.
Things that don't use the passcode are those that Apple wants to be available even if you don't unlock your phone. For example, you can _take_ photos without unlocking the phone, and those photos could be extracted until you unlock your phone and then they get encrypted. Photos taken while the phone is unlocked are encrypted immediately.
Years ago, when graphics cards where slow enough that text output was benchmarked, some magazine found their benchmarks on a particular test ran 3 times slower than everyone elses.
Their test displayed the string "The quick brawn fox jumped over the lazy dog." with a spelling error. Everyone else ran the benchmark with the correct text. It turned out the driver maker checked for this particular string, and had a ready-made bitmap for this strong stored into the driver. So they could use a bitblit instead of text drawing and ran three times faster. In the benchmark only.
Just saying: The melanine thing _killed_ babies, but also got the main perpetrators killed. That was something you can't get away with even in China. The state had to be seen to do something about it, and they did. With death sentences.
Can't you reimage your phone like you can a real computer? Or do the companies restrict you from doing even that?
Sure you can. But I don't want to do that, just because some shitty company sends me ads after I uninstalled their shitty app.
The real solution for iOS is an addition the app store rules: "If you send adverts to an iOS device or to a user because an app of yours was uninstalled, your app will be removed from the App Store".
Depends on how they are doing it. If you try to update an iPhone, the iPhone will ask Apple if the update is legit. Maybe they did something similar, but hackers found ways to create updates that will be identified as "legitimate". All they need to change is the "legitimate" checker to always return "NO".
To put this into perspective: Anyone having _any_ pacemaker is vulnerable to non-electronic attacks involving loaded guns, and there are many more people capable of doing such an attack than the electronic attack.
Get a laser printer. A black and white Samsung costs less than a set of colour ink cartridges. Even colour ones are pretty cheap these days.
I paid about £130 for a Brother wireless color laser printer with AirPrint (prints from any iPhone or iPad), and that one takes cheap third party cartridges. Plus I found a supplier selling two black + a set of three colour cartridges in one pack, because the black ones usually run out quicker.
Good point. Now Trump put an unrepentant rapist on the supreme court.
Trump put a man on the supreme court who was and still is accused of rape, before the accusations went to a court, and before the were refuted.
Obviously you wouldn't want a rapist in that position. I also wouldn't want one in that position who hasn't been found at least "more likely to be innocent".
I'm happy with a small jail term (I think 15 years is 14 years too many) and forfeiting the money with interest.
AND with the result of the bribe revoked. That happened in Spain when property developers paid bribes to whoever was in power to get planning permission to build homes, then the government changed and the next people in power revoked those permissions - after homes were built, which meant a lot were torn down.
In this case, revoke the presidential pardon for the Samsung executive, and let the jail sentence start fresh, with no possibility for parole.
The US government could produce gag orders, but the original story is that Apple employees went to the FBI. I would also like to know on which grounds there would be a gag order from the government. It doesn't make sense.
Remember when people used to answer "I cannot confirm on deny that such action has taken place"?
Sometimes there are stories that are just false or faked. So what else is Apple supposed to say? Now tell me, is it true that you are raping your children? Remember that any denial will prove that you are guilty. Refusing to comment will also prove that you are guilty. You might try admitting it, but I think that also proves you are guilty.
I wonder if its also having a look at your bodies behavior too. A stunt person who pulls off a successful stunt probably is going to exhibit healthy vital signs, albeit with a bit of extra andrenalin.
I think the biggest difference is that the stunt woman has trained to do falls that _look_ spectacularly dangerous _without_ actually hurting herself. If she got a fall wrong that would be much more likely to be detected.
If you post illegal stuff to Facebook...you might be a moron. Out of the gene pool, please.
Not quite out of the gene pool, but in the UK one guy just came out of court and posted on FaceBook: "I think I've got away with it." That was shown to the judge who took it as a confession.
There was no good reason for that. That's the point where it turned criminal for me. For others the point might have come earlier (I assume that he didn't cause any damage before that).
Bad passwords are no excuse for hacking. It may be a reason to put blame on the hacked organisation as well, especially if they are supposed to keep stuff safe. But primarily it's the hacker's fault, no matter how easy it was.
Just like Julian Assange. Britain as spend millions of dollars policing the Ecuador embassy for flippant accusations against him.
For the well proven accusation of having jumped bail. He's guilty of that beyond any doubt, reasonable or unreasonable. He'll go to jail for it.
Now the funny thing is that Ecuador paid tons of money for enjoying to have him in their embassy, and he would have been a free man many years ago if you had gone to court in Sweden (even if convicted).
If what is alleged of having happened is what happened, then Julian Assange is a rapist. Not using protection when the woman didn't want sex without protection makes it rape. Especially when the woman is asleep. So don't put rape into quotes. You can say "alleged rape" without the quotes, because it is alleged and not proven. But if it happened as described, then it is rape. Not just according to Swedish law, also according to UK law.
And it's not like he nabbed her off the street. He met her BECAUSE SHE SIGNED UP ON A HOOKUP SITE. So don't give me any "innocent victim" shit. She wasn't sold into slavery and she wasn't abducted. SHE WENT AND SIGNED UP ON A SITE SO SHE COULD FUCK OLD GUYS AND GET MONEY FOR IT
And that's why Texas has these laws. To prevent young girls who sign up on a hookup site to have sex. Because the state feels that they cannot make an adult decision about having sex, and cannot make an adult decision about signing up on a hookup site.
Probably because she lied about her age to the website, and to the man in question.
Sex with an underage person is one crime where only the facts count - what her actual age was at the time. What the man thought what her age was, or what she told him what the age was, doesn't matter. You think that's unfair? Maybe you're right. But that's what the law says.
Who determines what this "magic age" is? Because it certainly varies from female to female
In this case, the law makers of Texas decided. But that kind of thing is hard to understand for some slash dotters. The law of Texas is that the "magic age" is 18 for all females in Texas, except for someone who is mentally disabled and will never be able to consent.
Because the Texas AG first off likely had little to do with a local prosecutor's decision to prosecute, and that local prosecutor likely had significant pressure applied by the Federal government and many others who don't want to see the Liberator 3D printer files be posted to the internet, and the prosecutor may even be a Democrat, IDK. Heck, he may have simply received an "anonymous tip" from an FBI agent and was just doing his job.
There is also the possibility that the local prosecutor found out about an alleged rape and is doing his duty, just like he or she would do in any other case of alleged rape.

There was no good reason for that. That's the point where it turned criminal for me. For others the point might have come earlier (I assume that he didn't cause any damage before that).
