I must admit, I'm so entrenched in the Apple world I had no idea what a Flock camera was until this week

Apple’s latest earnings dropped and to no one's surprise the cash flow is ridiculous... But the HOLY CRAP stat is that there are now 2.5 billion active Apple devices worldwide Over 30% of the entire human population

Apple dropped new security updates for 26 and some seriously old versions of iOS and iPadOS, going back to 2018. No published CVEs yet though. We should get them in the coming days...

I hope to see a day when Apple becomes more involved with the larger security community, lets its teams go on podcasts, post on social media, talk about things they can talk about, etc etc etc This policy of total silence doesn’t feel sustainable.

Fun fact! Last year, Apple moved its security releases page from /HT201222 to an easier-to-remember URL ending in /100100 In binary, 100100 represents 36. In ASCII, 36 corresponds to the dollar sign ($) A subtle nod to the Apple Security Bounty program🤓

Fascinating takeaways in @moonlocksecurity.bsky.social’s Mac Security Survey 2025! Now, only 15% of users surveyed still think Macs are malware proof (down from 28% in 2023). The myth is dying fast, but at a cost...66% reported falling victim to at least one cyber threat

NFC is getting a range boost from 0.5cm to 2cm, extending the distance by x4! Connection times will also be faster and require less precise alignment. This is gonna be great for smaller devices like Rings and Apple Watches!

The first computer bug. In the 40s, engineers working on the Mark II computer at Harvard discovered a moth stuck in one of the machine's relays (what's now transistors) They taped the insect to their logbook and labeled it as the "first actual case of a bug being found."

Chinese censorship in real-time. I asked DeepSeek about Tiananmen Square. Immediately denied. Then I asked about the CCP, I got an answer, and then it took it back 😂

So let me get this straight. OpenAI egregiously scrapped data from millions of websites and is now upset because DeepSeek did it to them. This is so rich.
