So The NY Times aids and abets the Trump administration in spreading false and unverified information about a tiny, infinitesimal number of slightly unusually cases.

What could the Trump administration and The NY Times possibly have as gain? I'm being sarcastic of course. We know why the Trump administration wants it - to throw another bone to their base and to placate the religious right and The NY Times to, well, I'm not sure - more clicks?

There's nothing the Trump administration won't lie about to further their power.

The main problem is it's run by a megalomaniac. If he didn't want to destroy NASA SpaceX could have lots of help.

woke = "something that doesn't make money for Trump or his corrupt friends like Musk"

Shame on Bleeping to fail to include Apple's own Passwords in the 2FA recommendation. A huge population of Apple users already have the tools right on their device if folks mentioned it.

It's a prime vector for scam attacks on desperate people looking for jobs. So many posts on Reddit /r/scams of people getting their contact info scraped or scam companies just loitering on LinkedIn.

And only enabled if 2FA is enabled. It won't work without (as won't many Apple services).

Well iOS and macOS are only vulnerable in a very narrow range of conditions. On the other hand Android is a field day.

And I believe these were patched in the current versions of iOS and macOS.

Because that was the last meeting they could have before Colossus required Forbin to be under 24/7 surveillance.

I think it makes perfect sense. How else could he send/get information unless he had a plan to convince Colossus to not observe him.

My big issue with this whole thing is that they actually believed Colossus wouldn't listen in because it said so.

Interesting - you don't seem to have researched your own opinion. A cursory search of Youtube for rebuttal videos shows plenty of people that provide evidence and sources to show how wrong she is in her "out of her lane" videos.

She's no better than any YouTuber looking for clicks and monetization.

If it was true but it's not. The problem with believing rando people rather than reading from the actual source. They can only view your screen and only after you explicitly grant permission via a push notification.

Incorrect. Apple support can VIEW your screen but they can't make any changes. And just to note they can't view your screen with you approving via a push notification.

Wait until you need to pay just to read a linked Tweet.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. He's an evil megalomaniac. His every action has only one goal - attempting to demonstrate he's the most brilliant person on Earth.

Psst. He's not succeeding.

As long as you don't mind supporting evil organizations and being subject to continuous prostilitizing. I find it difficult to believe that someone who is depressed needs to hear that they're a sinner heading to hell unless they accept whatever precepts the particular church is pushing.
