You are correct, my concern with it isn’t retrieving the data however, its the possibility that if the person involved had the means to, they could have a table of check-sums of files of interest. This system could be used to confirm or deny a file of interest is present on the device.

For the everyday person this is a non-issue, but from a privacy POV you should not be able to get any information in regards to what a file is.

Rainbow tables for password cracking works off a similar system, they take a bunch of commonly used passwords, hash them and compare them to leaked databases. If the hash matches an account you have the password. Most password handlers get around this by salting it, and hashing it repeatedly X amount of times, but I doubt that apple would do that for a checksum(and regardless they would know X and how it was made).

Again though I acknowledge that it’s a paranoia level concern, but I still am firm that a true encryption solution should not be able to get any type of info out of it that may help the third party.

It’s important to note here that even if you turn on this option, Apple does not support full end-to-end encryption, there are still multiple factors that they keep under standard data protection which means they still have the encryption keys. They keep this under the guise of deduplication so they can save on storage costs but some examples of this are:

• the apps+file formats you have installed
• your phone’s make model and serial number
• most metadata that defines what an item represents such as date time modification time
• all file checksums (this is scary imo)

They explain how everything with their encryption works here

Yeah the fact that Supersize Me was unironically watched in health classes Across the Nation and maybe the world, as an informational article against obesity is insane to me

It was treated as if it’s the everyday environment of what happens if you eat it daily, but it was never explained to anyone that the reason for it wasn’t the fact he was eating it every meal it was because he just overall had bad habits. People have attempted to reproduce the results and have failed to do so.

Thank you for having this comment, since the second link was only a period for me I didn’t even realize there was a second link there.

Oh my God yes, I bought one of these about 10 years ago it’s still going strong and whenever I get a little cold I just turn it on and it’s so nice.

Another thing that I found is amazing is putting them in your shoes are slippers for about 5-10 minutes before you use them, because it means when you put your shoes on they’re not super cold so it feels like you’re putting them in hot water instead of cold slippers

Fully agree, I refuse to get my USBC cables from any local store, Walmart used to be the best area around that you could find them for online, but since then Amazon has definitely taken over

I’ve bought these a few times and they’ve never disappointed. They seem really sturdy and they do my fast charging and data transfer with no issue. ~14USD for two 3ft, two 6ft and a 10ft is a good deal imo

This right here, blackout curtains are a must for any person that has a job or sleep schedule that requires them to be up at night and asleep during the day

this list is more concepts then actual enshittification. No YouTube, no reference to Google searches less helpful results. No reference to ad overload plaguing more services. No reference to crappy TOS’s with artibution clauses. It’s just using an excuse to say AI bad and rehash concepts learned back in 2015 with the drive to drop cable.

you are being optimistic, it’s likely going to be considered “fair use” and then be business as usual. Meta themselves have claimed that they aren’t filing to dismiss because they believe they are on the legal side, due to the fact they aren’t distributing the pirated content, only using it for training which is currently a massive grey area that hasen’t been ruled as non-fair use

it’s not an entire app but, discord profile decorations.

The fact it costs money isn’t surprising, but the amount of money charged is hilarious.

17$ for some graphics that some look like they took about 20 minutes to make. Just to make your profile look different than everyone elses. Then the “discount” given for having nitro for it is even more laughable.

Whats equally insane is that people fall for it. I know some people that have easily spent 60$ on profile decorations. Spending equal or greater than the cost of discord nitro is insane to me, even if the decoration doesn’t expire.
