Two years is basically time served. And the prosecutors and the judge are out there saying that this will help “heal” the community

The judge basically had more sympathy for the killer.

Seven fucking years for taking someone’s life in an act of panic and cowardice, when her job was to train cops not to panic and hold their shit together.

our public safety and law enforcement system is designed to select and brutalize “bad people” (and tends to know ‘em when they see ‘em

Genuine question - acknowledging that this new policy could lead to a slippery slope of privacy erosion, what alternative technologies could Apple implement to help fight CSAMs that would not elicit such concerns?

Apple’s software is performing scanning of your stuff. Whether that happens on a remote server, or on your local device, doesn’t change that inherent fact.

It’s fingerprinting every single one of your pictures to compare against a database. Is that not enough of a privacy violation? 

I didn’t bother to watch the video because Andrew’s description of it sounded off-putting enough (that’s on me though). While it indeed sounds like good fun and I can admit when I’m wrong… dude, that’s not what satire means.

Absolutely. He’s a piece of shit for doing this.

Honestly this guy seems like a piece of shit.

Yea...pretty sure you can’t just claim it as your lawn because they took the pavement away, this guys an arsehole.

The whole “Click on my article about the evils of consumerism while I collect the ad revenue” is a pretty bold stance to take. Gizmodo et al. are getting hard to read anymore with all the ads that insist on loading up.

Keep telling us to avoid Amazon while simultaneously posting daily ‘deals’ and ads Gizmodo.  The mental gymnastics needed here are always astounding.

A month is tough in IT, unless you have a huge test environment set to test every app, on every piece of hardware you normally use, under every usage.

In our company we have settled on waiting a day to patch anything, usually news reports about bad patches comes out within a day. Then we patch a group of suckers that…

Keep in mind that you may not be allowed to use such public services to store your work files. In many cases, files produced for an employer are property of the employer and they have policies dictating what you can do with those any of those files.

No one wants to be end up breaching company or customer privacy…

That isn’t a technology problem, it’s a user problem. You end-users get way too reliant on shortcuts that you don’t actually understand the real location of. If you just used explicit references for every single time you access a share or whatever, you’d never be unaware of how to access files.

Kind of a weird article. The answer for 99.9% of people working from home to the question: “how do i access my work files” is “the way your company tells you to”. It could be 1 of a trillion different ways depending on the VPN and file server settings, etc etc etc etc. If infrastructure is on-prem or in the cloud, etc.

Not all Enterprise plans include those extra installs. You’re also more likely to store files locally when using the desktop app vs secured company cloud storage when using the web apps.

I would suggest not to try bypassing any IT security in place by using products and services not approved by your employer. This can and will be reason for termination.

The first thing you should do to access work files is check with what your IT department already has in place. Corporate O365, GDocs, etc. usually have a secured file storage option. You may even be set up to use a VPN. This might seem like an unnecessary extra step, but with all the data regulation going on it’s…
