The top 3 are all this.

I assume you’re Canadian. This is a problem across North America. Almost nowhere is safe now.

The construction industry scaled way back in 2008, and it never really scaled back up in North America. We’re not building enough to keep pace with population growth and to replace aging homes.

We need to build, not blame each other.

The guy above you is pretty rude, but if you’re curious, The Daily had a good piece on housing prices.

Like most economists, they believe it is a supply problem. But more importantly, they claim that many North American contractors downsized or went out of business during the 2008 mortgage crisis, that industry never scaled back up, and were simply not building at the rate we were 20 years ago.

In other words, we need to incentivize and more people getting into construction.

(And now the construction industry is worried that Mexican labor will get deported under Trump, so, oof)

I’m lucky enough to have dual EU nation citizenship from my childhood. Going to be digging through my childhood paperwork in case I need it.

It was very close. As predicted, the battleground states all came down to 1 or 2 percent. Everything fell within the margins of error.

Unfortunately, the 1 or 2 percent leans all went in Trump’s direction.

We both know you are not safe.

Don’t know if this is sympathy or if you’re out front of their door in a bush right now.

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.

Do you have a source for that?

Because Apple has had a lot of very prominent court cases about unlocking phones for cops, and they famously haven’t done that. They, like other cloud service providers, have forked over cloud storage data, that isn’t e2ee, when given a warrant.

They’ll hand over unencrypted cloud data, but they are not decrypting E2EE cloud data. They literally can’t. They don’t have the key. If they had a key, it would be a monumental security vulnerability.

This is why governments and cops have dragging them into courts for years.

Once you get 3/4 through this article, and get to the actual content, it’s pretty underwhelming. Apple was basically just showing cops that they could be querying their existing databases with iOS mobile and or CarPlay experiences.

After reading the article, it doesn’t look like any of this contradicts what they’re been selling. Encrypted data is still locked down. IMHO, this title is fairly clickbaity.

A lot of this looks like iOS / CarPlay versions of policing / public records database software that was previously on platforms like Windows.

This title seems kind of clickbaity. Most of the native apps are for querying existing government and police databases. We’re talking about accessing records via CarPlay, as opposed to using a bulky Window’s laptop docked in a center console.

Apple is still not offering governments a backdoor into encrypted content.

Real talk - lemmy’s mod tools blow, and the only way to combat this shit is if more people volunteer to help keep an eye on the report inbox.

So if you see a community that is struggling to address reports in a timely way, they’ll likely appreciate anyone that offers to help mod.

As someone who works in data privacy, I don’t think the DS crazy ever died down. It’s bigger and more complex than ever. People just got tired of saying “big data” at Silicon Valley bars.

Gen X and Boomers looking at Millennials… “I wish my knees and back were in that good of shape.”

This probably can’t be great news for Chinese-owned Volvo.
