Yeah right. Just in 2017 they started backdooring Chinese iCloud servers for the CCP: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/12/business/apple-china-data...
Enabling data protection will not save you if, like in China, your government demands backdoored servers.
HSMs exist to make it harder for outsiders to exfiltrate keys, not make it harder for insiders to decrypt stuff.
I can’t speak for China. But outside of China iCloud E2E uses keys that are only stored on customer devices. I.e. your iPhone is the HSM. In theory iCloud needs zero crypto capabilities server side, because all the crypto happens client side, and servers are just moving opaque encrypted blobs around.
Strongly disagree; there is plenty of shame in using LLMs to "improve" writing.
FTFY.
* This article is barely-readable AI slop. If writing is not your best skill (and that's putting it mildly), why are you publishing a blog like this?
* You have an ad for an AI app on every page of your website. Couldn't you use that to fix your writing?
* Clicking 'Explore' on the top of the page opens a pop-under to office.com for some reason? I also clicked the text of one of your articles, and it sent me to kaspersky.com, probably another ad.
I'm not normally judgemental to people with poor writing skills, but that doesn't seem to be what's happening here. This feels malicious.
I don´t know what you talking about, all in the website works quite well (beside the ugly articles page that is a work in progress). The page is under heavy traffic and some users click HGMI (that is a hypergraph in 3d with clickable links and memory demanding). Then changing page under heavy traffic takes longer and users are still clicking the hypergraph links.
How easy you missing the point of the article which is: No matter the good will certain paths are meant to be walked. Then I offer a choice with HugstonOne App to whom may be interested. And yes, credits to legendary TIM COOK for his great contributions to society.
These excerpts show off that "AI"-tone I'm sure most people see.
>The San Bernardino case is gone from headlines. >But the backdoor? It’s in your phone. >It’s in Google’s servers. >It’s in Meta’s messages. >It’s in the legal system that always wins. >Apple’s 2016 stand wasn’t forgotten. >It was buried under the next headline. >But it’s still true.
As I understand, they're meant to hide all the cruft so you can see the content.
I did it for some paragraph breaks, because that site is formatted as legibly as one big run-on sentence.
This is what I hate about all this. We have to play these stupid games because everyone is using data in stupid ways. Everything has become incredibly myopic. Yes, I could buy a Google phone and root it but Google takes their sale and uses that to justify that their actions don't change things. But in the world we are in there's really just two choices: Apple or Google.
Which is why I find the fighting comments here so dumb. Fight me, go ahead. But if you are going to just know I hate them both. Think of it like a presidential election if you will. I'm at "any functioning adult" at this point. Yes, that means they're nonexisting.
What happened to the old days? When programmers were the counterculture. When we believed in unfettered freedom. When we believed in encryption by default. When did that dream die? We've never had more of a chance of this dream succeeding due to technological advancements yet we've never been so far because of will. Was it the money? Was it that we got too hung up in tribalism? Or was it that we are petty as fuck and let perfection destroy good enough for small open source companies but don't hold these megacorps to the same standards? Is it the complexity of the system and how there's no actually good choice? Is it just that we're too dumb? Maybe we just like the cyberpunk style so much we just wanted to make it a reality ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
See Apple in China. They need China for manufactoring and for the market, and no qualms about "privacy is human right" there. They say nothing about it there.
Atleast Google had the balls to pack up and leave China. I'll respect Apple the day when they sacrifice profits for their principles. It is all empty talk otherwise.
I was adding my perspective into the conversation. It stands on its own, and isnt off-topic.
Also, no need to fucking swear.

Iphone AI core is basically Edge AI, which means they deploy it inside the Iphone, not relying on a remote cloud. This can help protect customer data, but it also means they can not update their AI with new training data, and the Chip is kinda small so the model is not smart.
Just know this fact so ppl won't criticize Apple without knowing the sacrifice to protect their privacy

“For more complex requests that require more computational capacity, Apple Intelligence can use Private Cloud Compute, which extends the privacy and security of your Apple products like iPhone into the cloud to unlock even more intelligence. Private Cloud Compute uses larger, server-based models powered by Apple silicon.“

I turn off the AI shit on most devices I use. Microsoft and Apple are topping my list of most hated for shovelling AI drivel my way.
