    https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/09/09/apple-bug-bounty/

    Article on the poor implementation of Apple Inc.’s bug bounty program. Generally the criticisms are that Apple Inc. does not communicate enough or communicate promptly to people who help it hunt for security bugs, do not pay enough for bugs discovered, and often takes way too long to fix the bugs that have been reported.

        What's fun is 100% chance Horace channels Axspeak in his response.

          Get your Apple Inc. devices updated. The company just released a big bunch of security updates on 2021 September 13 that closed some rather important security holes for macOS, Safari, watchOS, iOS, iPadOS.

          Short version is that CoreGraphics and WebKit has security holes that allow arbitrary code to be run when processing/displaying PDF file or web content, which may be triggered when apps like iMessage “previews” a message sent to you without you clicking/tapping on anything.

          Report is these security holes are being exploited, including by state actors. So just get your devices updated.

            Apple Inc. announced the 6th generation iPad mini recently. It’s basically a miniaturized version of the iPad Pro and it supports the Apple Pencil II, which is good. But Apple Inc. got rid of its 3.5mm stereo audio jack. @_$!&?)?#!@_$!

              I don’t understand Apple’s obsession with thinness. They moved the headphone jack on the new iMac to the side to keep a desktop computer thin.

              Duh…

              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  Perusing various tech review websites that cover the new iPad mini, I am surprised that I have not find one that calls out the removal of the 2.5 3.5mm audio jack.

                          You can never be too rich or too thin.

                          Apple has already disproved the first half of that sentence, now they're working on the rest.

                          I was only joking

                            It wasn't fruitless, since it was about Apple. It was, however, pointless.

                              Fits better in the pocket.

                              On the other hand, Apple has been known to add weights to products, because a heavier piece of electronics feels like it has higher quality. True story.

                              Education is extremely important.
