Is anyone else just a little concerned that the rush towards copyable (as against hardware bound such as a ) is still a single factor risk? I’m quite happy having a instead of a password as one factor, so long as I can still add MFA to it, but I’m concerned that this isn’t going to be implemented in most cases.

@decryption If you haven’t got extra batteries sorted yet, I found https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/aw/d/B09KN74Z85 to be surprisingly good quality and value. Way better charger than the Canon comes with too—USB-C FTW!

First words holding the M4 iPad Pro: “holy **** that’s thin.”

Second words, half a minute later: “that’s just absurdly thin.”

Third words, another half a minute later: “the new Magic Keyboard is so much nicer!” Thinner, lighter, better materials 🤩

This is a big upgrade 👍

@twostraws But would you prefer 20-30% more battery life?

Idea for new security measure for iPhones: auto-lock and disable biometrics if phone goes out of range of Apple Watch. Yes/no

@dimillian Just been testing the mute functionality in Ice Cubes, and muting a user doesn’t remove them from my timeline if they were boosted there. Bug or design? Either way, doesn’t seem expected behaviour. 🐞

@decryption @joshgelfand Can it be displayed without having to unlock the device? That’s kinda the most important aspect.

@decryption @joshgelfand Wish they’d just implement the Apple Wallet (or Android equivalent) solution instead. Typical idiotic AU gov keeps wanting to reinvent their own IT solutions for everything.

My old iPhone 11 Pro is still capable of getting over 200mbps speed over 4G/LTE.
I’m seeing reports of average 5G speeds of 200mbps on latest tech and people seem to be finding that impressive. Am I missing something here?

Really not impressed with the current EOFY sale offers for tech products. Was hoping I'd be able to get myself a few decent discounts on the NAS I want to set up, plus a new SSD for the laptop, but nothing so far is catching my eye.

@liampomfret WD Red of various types have been having temperature problems due to them dropping helium-based cooling, would definitely recommend checking that before going WD. Haven’t had much experience with alternatives lately.

@liampomfret Yeah, fine for an air conditioned server room. Pick the new non-helium drives:

Any chance anyone has a copy of the previous version of ’s Terms & Conditions? Or even better, anyone got a diff?

Question for crowd. I've always stayed away from TouchID (or similar) due to not wanting Apple (or other companies) to have access to my fingerprint. Am I wrong?

@mr_oova See https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/security/sec067eb0c9e/web. The biometrics data is stored in the Secure Enclave on your device and never leaves. The data is never sent off your device. For companies other than Apple, I couldn’t say.

The latest offering of Vampire: The Masquerade Month of Darkness include some physical goods at top tier, sounds good, ships to AU, I’m sure they offer reasonable shipping right? Bundle is $62, but still good value.
Shipping…
Is more than the cost of the frigging bundle.
I can buy the main physical items of the bundle + actual normal shipping cost for less than the cost of shipping for this thing. I know what shipping options there to AU and these guys are making no effort.

Seems is fubar’d. Website dead, power outage here. Seeing reporting , guessing they’re the actual supplier. Guess I’ll try and go back to sleep after muting the UPSes.

Am I alone in just wanting a nice ultra-portable 11” Air again?
If I want a 15” screen I’ll get a Pro (almost the same price as current 15” Air anyway).
I miss having a laptop I could grab and go with the knowledge it’d fit in any bag I’d have with me.

Been sitting on an iPhone 11 Pro for years, not been anything to justify the upgrade. The switch to USB-C combined with my current phone’s lightning port dying is really the only thing that’s getting me to an iPhone 15… kinda disappointing.

64GB obtained, and 1TB SSD swapped in without a hitch! I blame @gamingonlinux!

Am I the only one who would much rather an extra 10–20% battery life over having a slightly thinner ? And same for . Every single year.
