I mean, I'm not going to defend Onedrive (aside form saying it "mostly works just like the rest") but how is it the app or the vendors fault that someone send you a link that required an account to access? There is an…
It's e2ee and only part of your icloud backup if you enable it. And you can separately manage read/write access from other apps. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/security/sec88be9900f/...
Well, then you might want to look up tk2dl, because it just links to Twitter content. It gets disgusting fairly quickly though.
How about policing CSAM at all? I can still vividly remember firehose API access and all the horrible stuff you would see on there. And if you look at sites like tk2dl you can still see most of the horrible stuff that…
It's included in the ios photo gallery. I think this is a separate release of the tech underneath.
Your on premise exchange server has zero connections to outlook.com. OWA (Outlook Web Access) looks similar to outlook.com but has otherwise nothing to do with it.
If you try to use the phrase with Apple Intelligence (e.g. in Notes asking for a rewrite) it will just say "Writing tools unavailable". Maybe it's an easy test to ensure the filters are loaded with a phrase unlikely to…
No one rational makes absolute comments on the internet. Maybe university IT departments are staffed by people. Maybe even at the college board it's just some IT guys trying to keep a shitty platform working. Maybe they…

I'm not overestimating them. I see lots of college admission files, I know how inept most high school graduates are. I would like to see a higher base standard because frankly these issues are not going away for them…

Nobody gives a shit what they wanted. This is not a new problem. Take a test, fulfil all conditions of that test. Yes the fulfillment conditions are part of the test. Oh no, teenagers have to learn for 5 minutes about…
Out of curiosity which office did you work in between 2007 and 2018 when you started working for stripe? How is your teams WFH experience within stripe?

Sadly, it's not. I've had lots students who would use the Opera VPN or one of the "free" anti-virus providers VPNs because they got sold (by adds or dumb friends) that it would be safer. You seriously over-estimate the…
Seriously, this is your argument? Knowing the file type I upload is "fringe knowledge"? And this is somehow the target services fault? >No, this isn’t something the average person should need to know about. I think you…
Yes, if you want to use a cell phone and/or a computer to complete your tasks you should have some basic knowledge about how it operates. You can shift responsibility for that knowledge wherever you want but I would say…
It's not an explicit category on the test and I never debated that. It might be an implicit requirement though. Just how when you take your drivers test you should actually be able to operate your vehicle and know the…
>I agree, when It's part of the subject in test. I don't see any reasonable cause for a student to have to know about file types to submit a test, if that test isn't about file types. I don't, for example, expect my…
Well, I disagree. I think "media competence" is more important than spelling or grammar and should be something expected of someone entering tertiary education.
You would be surprised how many students use an iphone and a macbook but are unwilling to use safari (or icloud, photos) because of privacy concerns. If you stay in the "regular" apple workflow everything is fine:…

This whole blame game is weird. Could the college board have handled this better or have a better upload mechanism? Sure. Could apple be more clear about the way they are storing and transferring photos? Sure, finder on…
The site will always try to trigger the registered protocol handler but couldn't you just block the handler?
