        I’m on Apple One with the 2TB storage. I got this warning and when I tap it, it shows me that I could “upgrade” to 50GB more. Which is horribly wrong. That would downgrade me by 1,950GB and potentially cause me to lose a ton of photos and videos. What is going on ?

          Just published: Apple Health + ChatGPT: The Privacy Tradeoff.

          OpenAI’s new ChatGPT Health feature can connect to Apple Health (and even medical records). The convenience is real, but so is the expanded attack surface. With healthcare breaches hitting millions of records, my blunt take is: if you care about privacy, don’t use it. Full stop.

          If you do use it anyway, I break down what “not used for training” does and doesn’t mean, why HIPAA isn’t a force field here, and the practical steps to reduce your blast radius.

                                    You can think what you want about Apple, its business model, and its crazy pricing policy and rip-offs—I'm definitely not a fan either—but one thing fascinates me: since November, I've had an iPad Mini 7 Cellular so I can read the news, watch the occasional YouTube video, or quickly and conveniently reply to an email while on the go or in bed at night.

                                    Very compact, very practical, it fits perfectly in my small shoulder bag or in my smartphone holder next to my bed.

                                    But what impresses me most is the incredible battery life! With my moderate use, the battery actually lasts a whole week. Remarkable. As are the performance, the pen support (great for editing and signing documents!) and the rather unique form factor. And that also eases my conscience a little, knowing that there is no free alternative. Unfortunately.

                                          Virtual memory and physical memory, and paging and swapping, I understand, and iOS has no dirty paging, but finding technical details of iPadOS and what Apple calls virtual swap (WWDC22, etc) escapes me.

                                          Cloest I can find for technical info is the iOS memory deep dive from WWDC18. Which predates the virtual swap work.

I am writing with concern of the behaviour of your good friend Donald Trump who has recently without reason or legal justification invaded Venezuela and kidnapped an equally horrible man ‘President’ Nicolás Maduro before moving him to the USA. Further to this Donald Trump and his associates in the USA government are now speaking of a planned invasion of free and democratic European nations who are members of OTAN (NATO). (See my link below to the BBC News article)

How do Apple plan to protect Apple customers in Europe should Donald Trump declare war on Europe and OTAN member states? Will our data be kept safe? Will our Apple devices still work with services like iMessage and FaceTime outwith the USA or will these features cease to work? Should Apple customers begin immediately to switch to devices which are not linked to the USA and therefore move immediately away from Apple devices such as iPhone, iPad, and Mac computers?

It would be nice to hear from you as soon a possible on this issue as we will need to start moving platform within the next few days if no assurance is given.

Kind regards,

former Apple employee,

Nothing is working.

The black and white photograph shows several individuals engaging in conversation within what looks like a large storage space lined with shelves stocked with various goods.

On the left side of the aisle, there are wooden barrels labeled "PRIME" above rows of crates containing different food products such as applesauce or preserves ("APPLE SAUCE," "JELLO-MAKING INGREDIENTS"), and other indistinct items. On the right side, more shelves hold stacks of boxes with labels like "HOLLY," which might be related to Holly Hill Farms.

Three individuals are visible in the scene: two men standing near a middle shelf wearing casual attire (one in a suit) conversing animatedly while another person stands slightly apart on the far end. The man on the left appears to hold a clipboard, possibly documenting inventory or taking notes during an inspection.

This means the only methods of quickly turning off biometrics are to set up SOS and tap the side button 5 times or restart your phone. Restarting is much stronger anyway since it wipes the decryption keys that are loaded after the first unlock. Plan accordingly if you use finger or face unlocks and are wary of law enforcement.
