On YouTube, Apple CEO Tim Cook explains Apple’s encryption and privacy policies, in a discussion with WSJ’s Editor-in-Chief Gerard Baker at the Wall Street Journal’s technology conference in Laguna Beach, Calif., in October (2015).
This was posted in February, 2016, but it is most certainly still relevant; Mr Cook brings up some very good points.

It’s Leonard’s fault!
Apple’s explanation of security, hardware security, system security, encryption and data protection, app security, services security
It’s Leonard’s fault!
Wow! On Interesting Engineering today:
Apple’s useful Sign in with Apple option that was disclosed in June 2019 received a fair bit of positive attention, and for good reason: it replaces social logins with a secure authentication system. On top of that, a user can sign up with third-party apps and services without needing to share their Apple ID email address.
However, a security researcher in New Delhi, India just uncovered a serious flaw in the Sign in with Apple system that would allow an attacker to potentially take over an account merely by using an email ID.
Fear not; all is well, as Fabienne Lang reports: Apple Awards Hacker $100,000 for Discovering ‘Sign in with Apple’ Vulnerability

How’s your home Wi-Fi these days? Fast enough? Stable enough?
If you’re not as happy as you could be, there’s hope! Wired has a rather extensive collection of tips to get things moving:
AS WE ALL shelter-in-place and work from home more, figuring out how to make your internet faster has become a necessity.
The good news is that some internet service providers have have increased speeds for low-income customers. Others have suspended broadband data caps.
That makes the internet to your front door less of a bottleneck, but eliminating subpar speeds and Wi-Fi dead zones around the house is largely up to you. To help, we’ve put together some suggestions on ways you can troubleshoot, and hopefully improve, the quality of the Wi-Fi inside and outside your place.
Be sure to also check out our guide to securing your home Wi-Fi network, our guide to the new Wi-Fi 6 standard, and our gear guide for working at home.
For the list, PYBT: 11 Ways to Upgrade Your Wi-Fi and Make Your Internet Faster.
If not, a not-taxing-at-all main presentation, hysterics at Apps & Traps, and the return of the drawing missed you badly.
No Meeting after the Meeting…
That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!
At The Sweet Setup:
Every week we {aim to} post a new interview with someone about what software they use on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad. We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better.
Today’s victim, er, interviewee:
My name is Fernando Silva. By day, I work in New York City as an Account Executive for an HR Software Company. But what I truly love to do is run my tech YouTube channel. I am a huge advocate that the iPad Pro can be your one and only computer even if you are a power user. That is what my channel is all about. I do software update reviews, “day in the life” glimpses as an iPad user, iPad Pro accessory reviews, among other things. My community shares the same type of interests and are just a bunch of loyal iPad users trying to get the most out of their device.
What’s so unique about my channel is how I pride myself in doing everything I can to keep my iPad as my only computing device. I like to show people that it is possible to dump your traditional laptop or desktop and just use an iPad to do everything you need.
