Okay, I really like this 4th #generation #ipod #classic #modification that puts a #raspberry #pi #zero into an old #apple #ipod https://hackaday.com/2021/11/20/ipod-mod.. The #hack itself is a little #complicated - I'm not confident that I could pull off the #soldering #required to make this work in such an #enclosure https://hackaday.io/project/182282-ipodr.. The #software is in #theory pretty simple though: https://github.com/syproduction/ipodrpi
It looks like #apple have #announced " #self #repair " for their #flagship #iphones (and apparently #mac soon) https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/11/a.. It's a good start, but it also feels like a way for Apple to control the #righttorepair #movement . I remain highly #cynical given Apple's previous dealings in this area.

You'd think they would stick the thing through a bloody #profiler and #staticanalysis ...
Even this #apple #website is highly #politicised on this #kylerittenhouse #active #case https://9to5mac.com/2021/11/11/rittenhou.. Worth reading this #hackernews #comment to see how the #framing in this #article is insane: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=291..

Looks like #apple are finally being hit by the #supplychain #shortage for #chips https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/apple-.. Looks like it's not even possible to buy your way out of the problem right now...
Well, that's pretty cool - a #early #prototype of the #apple #ipod - arguably one of the most #iconic #devices ever created: https://panic.com/blog/a-prototype-origi..
Interesting, #apple have #abused the #dmca #takedown #notice to #block the sharing of a #ip v4 #address that #leaks #internal #documents - despite the fact the #security #researchers were trying to #warn them of the #leak ! https://twitter.com/RayRedacted/status/1.. And this is why we can't have nice things.
Would you look at that, #apple have #released a new #cpu for their #device line-up: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/10/i.. Apparently most of the #innovation went into more #gpu and more #video #codecs ...
#apple had removed a #quran #app in #china due to #requests from the #ccp https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-5892.. I'm sure this will end well.
#apple are now #gatekeeping what is allowed in the #appstore - #rejecting a #horoscope #app as a form of #spam https://www.imore.com/apple-rejects-deve.. This seems like something that can be fixed with just #search #functionality rather than outright #blocking #apps ...
Man the #apple #macbook is really crap: https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/363933 #charging it on the wrong side can cause #high #cpu usage and #overheating ...
Decent #article against #apple 's #csam plans: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv.. Great quote from the article: "The logic of catching a few evil actors by denying the cloak of privacy to everyone will inexorably expand to more and more areas that powerful societal factions want to target." Can't get much more to the point than that.
#apple has now delayed the #csam rollout after pressure from around the world: https://www.macrumors.com/2021/09/03/app.. Still, it is only delayed, not cancelled. Apple can officially not be trusted, this backdoor into your #device *will* be #exploited ... I understand their intentions are good, but even the best of intentions can lead to the worst of #consequences - just look at #communism !
#apple being hit by the #chipshortage - and they were sending out #rumours that it was done with now: https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Technol.. So much for it being over... #pine have done pretty well to keep #shipping their #hardware !
Interesting #idea by #apple #webkit #developers for a 3D #html #element to display 3D objects: https://github.com/WebKit/explainers/tre.. I think there could really be a need for something, but I fear that it could end up being a #gameengine ... I think the #proposal needs work, such as #camera definitions, etc. Otherwise the viewing experience will not be the same across #browsers - or even similar setups.
