Up until now, Apple kept an encryption key for things like your personal photos and messages stored on their iCloud servers. That meant, if you ever forgot your passcode or otherwise locked yourself out, Apple could recover that data for you. But, side effect, that also meant a government could subpoena them, or a super-villain could theoretically break...

Are the Apple Watch, Pixel Watch, Samsung Watch, Garmin, Fitbit and all the other smart wearables functional or just a fad? Can they help connect you, protect you, and keep you from harm, or just overwhelm you with numbers and cause some alarm?

Does Intel's future lie in foundry? Can AMD ever grow its market share? Will MediaTek compete at the higher end? Is custom back at Qualcomm? And will anyone catch up to Apple? Here's where silicon is heading in 2023! See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Both desktop and mobile silicon are hitting the limits of physics. Power draw keeps increasing while enclosures only get smaller. Process shrinks are becoming more expensive and time-consuming. And foundries are facing geopolitical and competitive concerns. So what can Apple, Qualcomm, Intel, and all the rest do to keep improving performance?

Is Elon Musk actually going to make a phone? That’s what approximately 42,069 headlines in my feed are saying right now. Not a Tesla phone, Space X Starlink phone, or Neuralink phone, though that’d be kinda hella cool. Not even a Boring phone, despite a lot of people saying phones have gotten at least a little bit boring lately. But a Twitter phone. Why?  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Twitter vs. Apple. Elon vs. Steve Jobs. I mean, kinda, we’ll get to that in a minute. Point being, Twitter is what everyone is talking about right now. Especially on Twitter. More than FTX imploding — and exploding — at least at time of recording. More than Mark Zuckerberg laying off 11,000 people. More than Apple momentarily junking up the App Store with gambling ads. More than the FBI allegedly test-driving Pegasus spyware a couple or few years back. Elon Musk speedrunning social...

I’ve been trying to make this video about Twitter and Elon Musk for days but every time I open the app, the story has taken on a new and hilarious twist, which I'll cover here, but finally, I thought — forget it, let’s just go!

Should our phones have the right to remain silent? To plead the 5th? There’s doctor-patient privilege, attorney-client privilege, clergy-penitent privilege, and spousal privilege.  To the best of my understanding, and with all the appropriate caveats and limits of scope, in many jurisdictions, our doctors, therapists, lawyers, priests, pastors, husbands, and wives, cannot be compelled to testify or provide evidence against us. But our phones, which nowadays contain health, legal,...
