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...

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🤓

Can we all collectively agree this is a terrible idea X needs to fix its fraud and bot problem first, which is increasing getting worse Why would anyone trust this platform with their money? I feel like I’m going mad…

Oh boy. People are pealing stickers off gas pumps because they think it’s stealing their credit card details. NFC tokenization makes this literally impossible.

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.
