🚨BREAKING: #Fortnite is coming to US App Store any day now!

US judge said #Apple “outright lied” to steal from app developers & increase prices for users - all to uphold its greedy #monopoly.

But the days for FEES on web transactions are finally gone.

Fortnite was submitted to the US App Store yesterday - so it now lies with Apple to publish it quickly: x.com/TutaPrivacy/status/19212…

Read the whole story: 👉 tuta.com/blog/apple-us-antitru…

Screenshot of the US ruling: Apple willfully chose not to comply with this Courts Injunction. It did so with the express intent to create new anticompetitive barriers which would, by design and in effect, maintain a valued revenue stream; a revenue stream previously found to be anticompetitive. That it thought this Court would tolerate such insubordination was a gross miscalculation. As always, the cover- up made it worse. For this Court, there is no second bite at the apple. IT IS SO ORDERED.” Dated: April 30, 2025 Le fgetolflecs YVONNE GONZALEZ ROGER UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

Busted: Apple lied to protect its monopoly. | Tuta

Apple lied, you paid: US antitrust ruling states that Apple must stop taking a 30% cut on sales outside the App Store immediately.

Recording Workouts. Did you know that you can record a workout just by using your iPhone? I normally do a couple of little cardio workouts while at work during the day, but today, I left my Apple Watch on its charger at home. So even though I still planned on doing my workouts, I was concerned that they would not count toward my activity rings. But I was wrong! You can add a workout through the Health app! So if this ever happens to you, this is how its done. 1, Open the Health app and go to the browse tab at the bottom of the screen. 2, In the search box, type workout, and hit the search button to the right of the space bar. 3, Double tap on workouts in your search results. 4, To add a workout double tap Add Data. 5, You will have 3 things that you will need to complete. First, there is a pickard where you can choose the type of workout. Next, Enter the approximate number of calories you burned during the workout. And lastly, choose the start date and time, and the end date and time of the workout. 6, Just hit the add button to log the workout! Now you do have to estimate the calories burned, but if you have done the workout before, then you can look at the history in the health and see the calories burned then. So if you happen to forget your Apple Watch, no problem! You can still record those workouts! #Apple #iPhone #Watch #Workouts #Activity #Rings #HelthApp

Wednesday.
A terrible night's sleep, the good wife had a migraine after work, so nobody was very content.

Meanwhile, I've gone from having a single planned outing next week for work to going to Liverpool at the weekend, Birmingham on Monday and London on Thursday.

Friday: Liverpool is a volunteer trip to show refreshable Braille to a primary school student. I'm going alone, so maybe some reading time on the train! And I get to expense my travel. Was only about £30 return on the train, which for about 240 miles round-trip seems pretty reasonable to me!

Monday: Birmingham is to get a phone battery replaced in the work iPhone, very important. Not sure how easy I'll find it navigating New Street without any sighted help, but I'll give it a go I suppose: what's the worst that can happen? Google maps wants me to walk a couple of hundred feet. I have legs, I can speak up and ask for help if I need it. I am not going to refuse to get it done just because nobody I know can accompany me. #BigBoyPants time. Anyone have experience of #Apple's #GeniusBar if you are #blind, by any chance?

Thursday: It's Global Accessibility Awareness Day, and work are putting on a to-do. In reality I don't think I have much to do but stand around looking blind and answer the odd question.
WeWalk, Microsoft, Be My Eyes etc are all turning up, so it'll be a bit of schmoozing but sadly no boozing.

6AM train and I'll have to tube it from Paddington, which I always enjoy. The office is literally across the road from Aldgate East, so no worries at all on the navigation front there - I enjoy feeling like a ping pong ball zipping around the underground.

OK, so after trying MacBook and MacOS for a longer time I can say that it’s not as hard to learn as some people say, in fact, if you want you can learn it, and I have learned how to use a Mac pretty easily, I mean, obviously I had to get used to some things and to a little bit different way of thinking, but it’s not as bad as I thought it would be, and I’m not an expert, there are still some things to learn. I love challenges and it’s such a fun to learn, to get new knowledge about something, it’s just wonderful! Voiceover on the Mac is maybe not perfect, nothing is perfect, but I like Apple products. It’s great to try something different.#Blind #Technology #Apple

Update: Within hours after a #Reuters journalist got in touch with Apple, the Apple team got back to us.

Good news: You will soon be able to select #Tuta Mail as your default email app on #iOS.

😩 Yesterday was a rough day. I was installing Pandoc with Homebrew on Monterey. It took over an hour just to build GHC, and then my computer completely froze. I had to shut it down manually. After rebooting, my Mac didn’t even recognize the internal SSD in recovery mode. I can’t even reinstall macOS—there’s no drive showing up to install it on! #Apple #ComputerMeltdown

I'm getting a new IPad shortly.
Are there any good #accessible mediaplayers and recording-apps out there which aren't just the built-in memo and musicplayer-apps?
I'm asking because this IPad air has USBC so I can connect external drives to it and I'd like to play and record stuff on it without going through the standard apple-apps if possible.

"Google refuses to deny it received encryption order from UK government"

The UK’s encryption-breaking order for a backdoor into iCloud isn’t a one-off.

The secret hearing happening RIGHT NOW is bigger than just Apple. If the government wins, our right to privacy and security falls.

Other services will be hit.

The message is clear across the political divide: let's hear it!

The UK government should argue in open court why they want to make us less secure by ordering a backdoor into Apple encryption.

A secret Tribunal would be an affront to the privacy and security issues at stake. It must be held in public.

Bipartisan US Congress Members want the secrecy around the UK's encryption-breaking order to be lifted.

"It is imperative that the UK's technical demands of Apple - and of any other US companies - be subjected to robust, public analysis and debate."

“Secret court hearings featuring intelligence agencies and a handful of individuals approved by them do not enable robust challenges on highly technical matters.”

Do I know anyone who's ever tried to capture an ARM-based #apple #Mac using a capture card? I am running into the dreaded #HDCP issues that seem to be common with these and google's failing me for a solution.
Does using a #HDMI splitter still work for these cases or is there some kind of fancy tool to just disable HDCP for the duration? I'm not planning on capturing copyrighted material, it's just that this is on by default universally on macs for ... a reason that escapes me but I'm sure is very forward-thinking, magical and revolutionary. #streaming #contentCreation #hacks

Just like Linus (LTT) said, Apple could have just stopped working in UK territory, people would fight back against UK's government, pushing them to revert back the law and get Apple back. But Apple has no backbone and cares only about money, unlike Tuta.

If Apple complies with this, the UK government will gain access to all iCloud data globally. The only way Apple comes out of this with any integrity is to leave the UK market. If they give in to this, every regime in the world will demand the same thing. And that’s before we even get to the fact that there’s no such thing as a “backdoor” for just so-and-so. Either there is a door or there isn’t and if there is, anyone who obtains the key can use it.

You remember #Apple scanning all images on your #mobile device?

If you have an #Android #phone, a new app that doesn't appear in your menu has been automatically and silently installed (or soon will be) by #Google. It is called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore and does exactly the same - scan all images on your device as well as all incoming ones (via messaging). The new spin is that it does so "to protect your #privacy".

You can uninstall this app safely via System -> Apps.

This is wild. In the updated Mac User Guide when you click on "learn more" in the Apple Intelligence area of the Settings it says:

"Turn Apple Intelligence on: With macOS 15.3 or later, Apple Intelligence is on by default and integrated across features in your apps. "

then a few lines later…

"Note: Apple Intelligence is currently in beta. Apple Intelligence uses generative models, and outputs may be inaccurate, unexpected, or offensive. Check important information for accuracy."

#Canada #BuyCanadian #AI #AppleIntelligence #mac #Apple #macos15sequoia

A screenshot of the help guide a portion of the text says: Apple Intelligence is the personal intelligence system built into macOS Sequoia. It combines the power of generative models with an understanding of your personal context to deliver intelligence that’s useful and relevant. Apple Intelligence is designed to understand and create language and images; prioritize and summarize notifications, mail, and messages; and draw from the personal information on your device to simplify and accelerate everyday tasks. And it does all this while protecting your privacy. Availability: Apple Intelligence is available with Siri and device language set to English in most regions around the world. For more information, see the Apple Support article Apple Intelligence requirements. Turn Apple Intelligence on: With macOS 15.3 or later, Apple Intelligence is on by default and integrated across features in your apps. If you have an earlier version of macOS 15 (or if you previously turned off Apple Intelligence), choose Apple menu > System Settings, click Apple Intelligence & Siri , then click Get Apple Intelligence. Turn Apple Intelligence off: Choose Apple menu > System Settings, click Apple Intelligence & Siri , then click the button next to Apple Intelligence. Note: Apple Intelligence is currently in beta. Apple Intelligence uses generative models, and outputs may be inaccurate, unexpected, or offensive. Check important information for accuracy.

I would also like to say to Apple. You've had Siri for how many years? You've added many variations to your English speakers. But no Canadian variations.
