Numworks is so much better. According to kids that have access to Ti and HP graphing calculators.

The hardware and software design similarities between this Evo and Numworks is a strong endorsement.

An effort led by security research lab CovertLabs is actively uncovering troves of (mostly) AI-related App Store apps that leak and expose user data, including names, emails, and chat history.

Most apps on Firehound appear to expose data via improperly secured databases or cloud storage, and many listings disclose the underlying data schemas and record counts.

Apple/Google have the financial brawn to push a disrupting technology into more common use. And this is not encumbered by any restrictive licenses.

If your threat model includes the TLA types, then backup to a physical server you control in a location geographically isolated from your main location. Or to a local set of drives that you physically rotate to remote locations.

Decryption is not usually an issue if you encrypt locally.

Tools like Kopia, Borg and Restic handle this and also include deduplication and other advanced features.

Really no excuse for large orgs or even small businesses and somewhat tech literate public.

The performance improvements are impressive:

> In Automerge 3.0, we've rearchitected the library so that it also uses the compressed representation at runtime. This has achieved huge memory savings. For example, pasting Moby Dick into an Automerge 2 document consumes 700Mb of memory, in Automerge 3 it only consumes 1.3Mb!

> Finally, for documents with large histories load times can be much much faster (we recently had an example of a document which hadn't loaded after 17 hours loading in 9 seconds!).
