Continued thread

Ich versuche die Funktionen der iOS Geräte zu kategorisieren, aus Nutzersicht. iPhone kommt ja von Telefon, und hat sein Dasein der #Kommunikation zu verdanken. Das ist die wichtigste Kategorie, sie umfasst telefonieren - wo ein Umstieg („de-apple“ oder #unplugtrump) nicht komplex sein dürfte. Dann kommen #iMessage (abgeschaltet, aber da tut‘s schon weh) und #FaceTime (naja) und… #Email (#iCloud alias Apple ID). Anderes ist ursprünglich nicht dem originären Zweck des Geräts zugedacht…

Apple verschiebt Smart Home Hub: Verzögerung durch Siri-Probleme
Apple hat die Veröffentlichung seines neuen Smart Home Hubs, oft als HomePad bezeichnet, verschoben. Grund sind Verzögerungen bei den geplanten Siri-Verbesserungen, die essenziell für das Gerät sind.

Talking to an older relative who saw the news about #Skype shutting down and worried we couldn’t video call anymore (we’ve been using #Facetime for the last 5 years).
Wonder how many people have experienced that?

iMessage and Secure Communication

In the process of updating my blog to align with Fediverse standards and protocols, I realized that iMessage could be a great option for secure communication. I wasn’t aware that you can prompt a link to open a new iMessage chat.

By creating a disposable iMessage alias and disabling unknown FaceTime calls, you can keep your contact information accessible while maintaining clear boundaries.

Urgh, #FaceTime has been failing with the audio just dropping out or changing to loud buzzing. The AirPod bug where my phone starts playing music as soon as I put them back in the charging case is back too.

Amazing how little quality there is in Apple's software now. Seems to be across the board too. Guess worrying about on time delivery more than delivering working products might not be the best plan...

Apple TV: Erschwingliches Einsteigermodell 2025?
Apple arbeitet Gerüchten zufolge an einem günstigen Apple TV, das im kommenden Jahr auf den Markt kommen könnte. Der Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo spekulierte bereits vor zwei Jahren über ein Einsteigermodell, das für weniger als 100 US-Dollar angeboten

@xoron I don't want to discourage you at all - in fact I think your goal is not just noble but also worth aspiring to.

  • My recommendation is always to scout out existing solutions, protocols and standards and see if those can be salvaged / used and if not, reason why. #PGP/MIME may seem crusty but a good UI can make it easy. Same.goes for #OMEMO & #OTR...

But whatever you do, please "DO NOT DIY ENCRYPTION!"

  • Instead delegate it to drop-in libraries (i.e. crypto++ for C++) that are well, maintained and getting audited.

Prioritize features early on and make a decision what you want and if/how these can be accomplished. If necessary, have different modes / functions one has to context-switch (i.e. videocalling can't work in an airgapped network unless your callers are in the same (W)LAN).

  • If possible choose to stay platform-independent in terms of tech, so like #WebCall, #JitsiMeet, etc. you can simply package that up with nw.js... (Except if you need like a minimalist, (n)curses-style TUI tool like #enc)

User-test early on. Espechally with "#TechIlliterates", if you can.

  • Focus on a #MVP (minimum viable product) early on.

Write #documentation early on since that'll remove headaches. And I don't just mean #CommentYourCode but go deep and explain in detail why you chose something. This will help not just you.

Make yourself a list what you like and dislike from those.

Don't be afraid if your #App can't tick all the boxes at first release. Rather feel free to slowly ibtegrate them.

Needless to say I do sincerely wish you good luck and only the best in terms of success.

Interesting: I just got multiple messages about a new Mac added to my #Facetime / #iMessage Account. This is not the first time. While I have many #Apple devices, none of them was powered down for longer than a few hours in months.
I recently changed PW, I have 2-factor-Auth, Yubi-key, advanced security on, so I‘m **feeling** secure, but I‘m still irritated.
Malfunctions(?) like these reduce #security because they train users to ignore warnings.
Bad #Apple!
