>Step 6: In iOS 27, iPadOS 27, or visionOS 27 or later, make sure that iCloud Photos is turned on.

>How iCloud Photos works: iCloud Photos keeps every photo and video you take in iCloud

This effectively forces users to sync their entire camera roll to iCloud just to keep using Shared Albums as before. I understand the need to support full-resolution photos, but that should be opt-in—not a requirement to upload my entire photo library to Apple. Temporary Albums, which automatically delete after 30 days, are not an equivalent replacement.

This is from 2019

Based on what I know about it, Apple Intelligence is not inherently bad. I just choose not to use it and purposefully disabled it, so to have it re-enabled automagically by an update feels bad.

Updating to the latest iOS, which included a critical security patch, once again enabled my Apple Intelligence. This happened with the last update, someone reported it on HN so I thought to check. Once again, there it was enabled.

Is there a better cloud-based alternative to LastPass? I see KeePass being mentioned but I’m not interested in the keeping devices in sync myself.

I feel like my biggest peeve with this whole situation revolves around a lack of choice on the user’s end, with (presumably) the goal of hardening security. And, then not doing the research to ensure the choices made are actually the most secure.

The more cynical reason might revolve around getting access to your phone number, but we’ll give the benefit of the doubt and say that’s not the case.

In my opinion, websites offering 2FA should give users a choice to pick between: - Security Key (with Backup Codes you can store offline or SMS) - Authenticator App (with Backup Codes you can store offline or SMS) - SMS - No 2FA

If I want to choose a less secure method for 2FA or backup codes, that should be my choice but clearly communicated.
