Many in the community recently asked us to start removing political videos, and we put it up for a vote a few weeks ago.

We’ll leave this up since it’s a fake candidate and basically just a skit about a man with a silly name. But anything regarding public policy, foreign policy, or a real politician should likely go to the new political videos community.

Ideally we could solve this problem with tags and filtering, but lemmy just isn’t there yet, and this is what the regulars in c/videos have repeatedly asked for.

The big box store bulbs suck. Pay more for Phillips bulbs.

Stupid sexy crack head

Yeah, the more I look up this, it looks like an NFC loop is part of the MagSafe / Qi 2 protocols.

I thought that coil was the NFC coil so that the phone could identify the case and accessories. It’s only a few threads, which would be small for an induction coil.

Magsafe has magnets in the phone, the dock, AND the case for a firm connection.

Here’s a pic of my Apple silicone case with no phone inside of it. It’s magnetic.

When I say, “Set a timer for 5 minutes,” it sets a timer. (18.2db1)

Wait, wait again, and wait some more

Looks like there is a new waitlist for devs who want to see part 2 of Apple Intelligence.

IMHO, this is how integrations with chat GPT should work. Default to a local model or a private cloud model, and if that doesn’t work, ask the user if they want the query to go to another LLM. And let people turn off the external LLM prompts entirely.

Let make it opt it. And make opting out very prominent.

We’ve yet to define that. That said, the big reason for the move is because of community complaints around content regarding elections, political candidates, systems of government, foreign policy, etc.

Authenticity.

Shows with a laugh track are basically telling you that the writers producers think certain jokes are funny. And fuck that noise.

Shows without a laugh track generally get laughs because an audience is having fun.

I’ll speak as someone who has been in the creative space for 20 years.

Non-“making” work is a large part of any creative job. Sometimes it can be the bulk of the time spent doing the work. A professional isn’t just making; they’re often researching, synthesizing, pitching, negotiating, documenting, formatting, etc. All of that stuff is just as important.

I would check in with a community of professional writers and bring specific examples. An example type of job, the vague topic, the word count, the time spent writing, the time spent formatting in their tool, etc.

They can help to identify the gaps and problem-solve around it. Is the client underpaying? If so, how do you avoid that in the future and/ or negotiate a higher rate now? Or, is the writer spending too much time writing? If so, what are some techniques to expedite the craft?

The NY Daily had a good follow up to this. They’re underfunded for what they’re currently being asked to do. Increased polarization and violent rhetoric is forcing them to guard more and more people. And their funding isn’t matching their increased span of guard duty. They’re working a lot of overtime, not getting paid for it, and quitting.

Also, since they got rolled into the DHS, the DHS has been taking money that should probably go to the Secret Service, and they’ve been using it for immigration policing.

It opened without a paywall for me, so I assumed it didn’t have a paywall. That said, I posted an archive link under it a while ago.

Pretty much every politician is anti US in Cuba. It’s a one party system and loyalty is the price for a paycheck.

We should organize a week to mail shit back, so the spammers feel the pain.

Has Apple unlocked iPhones for law enforcement in the past?

No.

We regularly receive law enforcement requests for information about our customers and their Apple devices. In fact, we have a dedicated team that responds to these requests 24/7. We also provide guidelines on our website for law enforcement agencies so they know exactly what we are able to access and what legal authority we need to see before we can help them.

For devices running the iPhone operating systems prior to iOS 8 and under a lawful court order, we have extracted data from an iPhone.

We’ve built progressively stronger protections into our products with each new software release, including passcode-based data encryption, because cyberattacks have only become more frequent and more sophisticated. As a result of these stronger protections that require data encryption, we are no longer able to use the data extraction process on an iPhone running iOS 8 or later.

Hackers and cybercriminals are always looking for new ways to defeat our security, which is why we keep making it stronger.

This is for non e2ee cloud data. If you turn e2ee cloud encryption on, only you can access your cloud data. A government or police agency can’t access it, but you’re also kind of fucked if you need Apple’s support to access backup. So maybe leave it off for old parents.

That key is not for locally encrypted data, locked devices or e2ee data.

If you turn this on, Apple can’t not decrypt anything you have stored in the cloud with that key.
