 Apple designed Lockdown Mode for people facing grave threats, but we're seeing it work in practice against federal forensics. During a recent investigation into a journalist, the FBI reported that it was unable to extract any data from an iPhone because the feature was enabled. It is rare for a software setting to hold its own against professional, state-level tools. 🔒 The strength of this mode comes from how it drastically reduces the attack surface of the device. By disabling just-in-time JavaScript and blocking most message attachments, it removes the entry points that forensic tools like GrayKey typically exploit. It also forces the device into a state in which biometrics are disabled, requiring a passcode that often carries stronger legal protections during a search.

🧠 Lockdown Mode specifically blocks wired data connections used by extraction hardware.
⚡ The FBI confirmed in court filings that its Computer Analysis Response Team was blocked.
🎓 Using this mode requires giving up features like shared photo albums and link previews.
🔍 Apple offers a $2 million bounty for anyone who can bypass these specific protections.

For decades, the "Executive Assistant" was the ultimate corporate shield, a human filter designed to protect a leader's time from the deluge of cold callers. But with iOS 26, Apple has effectively put a digital gatekeeper in everyone’s pocket, and the C-suite isn't exactly thrilled about the role reversal. The new "Ask Reason for Calling" feature is creating a delicious irony: billionaires and venture capitalists are now getting annoyed when they're forced to explain themselves to an automated bot just to reach a contact. What was once an elite privilege—deciding who is worthy of a minute of your time—is now a standard software toggle. It's a fascinating look at how technology can flatten social hierarchies by commoditizing friction.

🧠 Gatekeeping has finally been democratized.
⚡ Automation is the ultimate social equalizer
🎓 When everyone has a filter, your "reach" depends on your relevance
🔍 The assistant is now helped by a line of code

How is *everyone*?

I've gone back to light mode for my tech stuff... I was finding dark mode a bit opressive 😅

I finally bought a new phone case as rawdogging it without one (after the silicone fail) was causing me deep anxiety.

Also, now using notbor.ing Weather app using accuweather as a source as Apple Weather was consistently incorrect for my location. #Apple #iPhone #DarkMode #LightMode #Weather #App

Google: все Android-смартфоны получат поддержку Apple AirDrop

Прошлой осенью смартфоны Google Pixel получили функцию прямого обмена данными с iPhone через AirDrop. Вскоре, по словам одного из топ-менеджеров Google, компания намерена реализовать такую возможность и на других гаджетах под управлением Android.

folx who use a #m2 #apple laptop and still use #veracrypt, i have a question:

have you encountering issues decrypting a drive encrypted with veracrypt?

every time i mount an encrypted drive and want to decrypt it, veracrypt errors out.

what always works is running:

brew reinstall fuse-t-sshfs

and then re-opening veracrypt.

has anyone else encountered this? is there a more long-lasting solution?

If you haven't given your face to Apple already ... It's also known as facial recognition, but sure, Apple will rename it and claim it invented it out of thin air.

The idea is "to develop AI systems capable of interpreting facial expressions and subtle muscle movements to understand so-called 'silent speech'.”

"Acquiring Q.AI gives Apple proprietary technology that could differentiate its AI strategy, especially in wearables."

The million-dollar question, from February 5:

"A recent statement from Google CEO Sundar Pichai has cast some doubt on whether Apple’s upcoming Gemini-powered Siri will truly remain within the Cupertino company’s infrastructure or be farmed out to Google’s servers."

"However, one thing Cook did reiterate was that Apple’s plans for the next-generation of Siri wouldn’t compromise on privacy."

#FBI stymied by Apple's #LockdownMode after seizing journalist's #iPhone

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has so far been unable to access data from a #WashingtonPost reporter's iPhone because it was protected by Apple's Lockdown Mode when agents seized the device from the reporter's home, the US government said in a court filing.

Atrial fibrillation: Apple Watch can also help those being treated

The 1-channel ECG of the Apple Watch can detect atrial fibrillation that wasn't previously known. But it is also useful after diagnosis, researchers say.

@incentive I'd not trust on #Apple not snitching on users given not just #CloudAct but their #willingness to implement #Govware #Backdoors in the "P.R." #China.

• The only "secure" option is to exercise #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec and that necessitates #SelfCustody of all the keys!

The last year I’ve been making a conscious effort to pivot away from proprietary/american tech, for a mix of reasons. I’m increasingly worried about #privacy, data collection, data sovereignity, that kind of things. Not wanting to have more or less my entire life stored on servers inside american privacy and data laws jurisdiction. Wanting to support #european tech. And, where possible, a preference for open source #foss #floss #libre software. I’ve been quite in the «apple fanboy» category for the last 20+ years, and deeply buried in the whole iCloud ecosystem. Partly because of Apple’s traditional stance on privacy, and the whole «if a service is free, you’re the product» thing. I used to look forward to #apple event keynotes like others do to football matches. The last handful of iterations of #macOS, #iOS, macs and iPhones has sparked steadily decreasing amounts of enthusiasm from me though. Anyway, the last year has seen me replace most iCloud services with @protonprivacy , my macbook pro with a @tuxedocomputers infinitybook pro running #linux, and my iPhone with a #Fairphone 6 running @murena /e/OS. And a patchwork of other services and apps to replace what I used to have. Here's a summary, and some questions to others. 1/n

(Apple) the company seems to have lost the one thing it held onto so firmly during all of the ups and downs of its history: its ethos of values-driven, liberal creativity and intentional design. Apple’s past periods of turbulence relating to profitability, marketshare, compatibility, and governance seem quaint now; memories of a better time. The Apple of today has become homogenous with its industry, in terms of its cultural failings.

The FBI has been unable to access a Washington Post reporter’s seized iPhone because it was in Lockdown Mode, a sometimes overlooked feature that makes iPhones broadly more secure, according to recently filed court records.

Lockdown Mode is a sometimes overlooked feature of Apple devices that broadly make them harder to hack. A court record indicates the feature might be effective at stopping third parties unlocking someone's device. At least for now.

The time is probably right.

Back in 2022, when I was still using iOS, I wasn’t completely happy with the Fediverse apps that were available. I was mostly using Akkoma, and the interface I liked the most was actually its web UI, even on mobile. So I started playing with Xcode and put together the foundations of an app tailored to my needs.

A lot has changed since then and today we have great alternatives like IceCubes, Mona, Ivory, etc. Each one has strengths and weaknesses though, so I picked up my old project again and kept pushing it forward.

So I’m happy to announce that my app will finally see the light: I’ve been using it for the past few days and, in my spare time, I’m fixing bugs and adding missing features. I’m building it around my own needs, so it doesn’t have to “appeal to everyone”. I wouldn’t call it opinionated, but it’s definitely targeted.

The app will have one key trait: #snac2 support will be a first-class feature, not an incidental one. Many apps, especially on iOS, support snac as a side effect, but the experience is often not optimal. In this case, the choice is deliberate and it strictly follows the Mastodon API support implemented by snac. So snac will work properly (within the limits of the platform, of course).

Among the features already implemented: the app is minimal and lightweight (under 10 MB, including debug code), easy on RAM, and privacy-first (for example it strips EXIF data from media before posting, so the server will never see it). On snac it also cleans up the "Boosted by Aoderelay" messages that appear when using a relay, removes the character limit, and supports posting in Markdown.

I also added support for Apple Intelligence to generate alt text, both for the media I post and for media posted by others that is missing alt text.

Everything is processed locally through Apple APIs and only on supported devices. The results aren't amazing, Apple Intelligence is extremely limited, but in my opinion it's the only privacy-friendly and ethical way to approach it. And of course, you can disable it.

On Mastodon it supports all the main features: lists, quote posts, granular notifications (you can choose what you want for each category), notification grouping, multi-account support, and it works.

It's still missing a few things (block, etc.) and has some bugs, which I’m spotting as I keep using it.
As soon as it's stable enough, I'll invite a few people to test it. I still haven't fully decided how I'll distribute it: an Apple Developer account has a yearly cost, and I hope to reuse it for other projects too. So this app might be paid, with a trial period, but if possible (I still need to check what’s feasible) I'd like it to be free if you connect to one of the BSD Cafe instances, illumos Cafe, or any snac instance, including your own.

I don't know how long it will take before it's ready... but I can already tell you what it will be called.
It already has a name, and it's... MastoBlaster.

This name was chosen for personal reasons, and also because of its similarity to Master Blaster by Stevie Wonder, which even today feels relevant and fitting for the Fediverse.

Stay tuned!
