Apparently Apple has fixed the clipboard counter in iOS 27 beta 3 thanks to Loupe. ✌️ Now the counter resets after a restart. Hey Apple, a little shoutout to the Loupe project would have been nice! Loupe is free and open source. You can download Loupe here: apps.apple.com/us/app/loupe...

Privacy tip: If you hide an app on iOS, other apps cannot detect it and won't know if you have it installed. This is confirmed by Loupe and you can test it✌️

Oh, 1Password stores user profile pictures on their servers without authentication. Anyone who has the long URL, which also contains the account identifier, can access the picture. It's not a big deal, but a password manager should definitely be more careful. #privacy

X has introduced its end-to-end encrypted chat feature. This service utilizes the Juicebox protocol, which enables users to secure their encryption keys with a simple, memorable 4-digit PIN while defending against brute force attacks. X’s implementation is wrong because they own all the realms 🧵 1/2

Screenshot of the onboarding message of the new chat:

Meet new Chat, now fully encrypted.
* End-to-End Encryption
X Chat are now protected with end-to-end encryption on all your devices.

* Uncompromising Privacy
No one — not even X — can access or read your messages.

Just signed in from another browser session and was able to recover the messages by entering the PIN. The encryption keys are clearly stored remotely and this PIN is used to decrypt their vault. You need 10,000 iterations to brute-force it.

Psylo deliberately doesn’t offer a share feature due to a privacy issue in iOS’s share feature: it generates a link preview of the website you’re sharing using your IP address, which bypasses Psylo’s tracking protection. You can tap and hold the address bar to copy the address.

That doesn't seem to be purely intentional by TikTok. A few days after releasing Psylo, an ad for Perplexity started to show up when you search for Psylo, it is highly unlikely that Perplexity had added "Psylo" as a keyword to their ad campaign:
