Remember [Wayback/Archive] Apple Provides Further Clarity on Why It Abandoned Plan to Detect CSAM in iCloud Photos | MacRumors Forums?
Google now forces a similar thing.
Uninstall this as soon as it appears on your Android phone: [Wayback/Archive] Google System APK Transparency | Android Binary Transparency | Google for Developers
Via [Wayback/Archive] jack: “You remember #Apple scanning a…” – Mastodon @ SDF:
If you have an
#Android #phone, a new app that doesn’t appear in your menu has been automatically and silently installed (or soon will be) by
#Google. It is called
#AndroidSystemSafetyCore and does exactly the same – scan all images on your device as well as all incoming ones (via messaging). The new spin is that it does so “to protect your
#privacy“.
You can uninstall this app safely via System -> Apps.

Retro computing is wildly popular, and with the rise of low cost single-board computers (SBCs for short), both Apple //e and ][+ emulators plus extension cards have proliferated, based on Raspberry Pi (or even their RP2040 microcontroller based Pico), ESP32 or predecessor ESP8266 microcontrollers and others.

On my MacBook Retina, SugarSync prompts me to install 2.0.27, and directs me to the SugarSync 2.0 Release Notes that only lists me 2.0.23. Time to skip a version…

Today, Apple released SMC version 1.1 for MacBook Pro machines that especially Retina owners will like: it fixes their fan issue that has been present for months, but caused some stir lately.
Apple rushed this update. In fact, it is so new, not even EFI and SMC firmware updates for Intel-based Macs lists it.
It affects both mid 2012 and early 2013 models.
This is how to update:
I had the same problem with the basic installation. Just do the OSX updates from the App Store and the problem will disappear.
Lots of users are reporting the below SMC update fixes the fan issue.
It worked for my MacBook Retina too.

A few recent rumour and news items:
Since a MacBook Air fits the Ultrabook description perfectly, I dreamed that this might lead to a MacBook Air with Haswell and Touch.
And I’m not the only one dreaming that dream (:
What would you favour, MacBook Air with Touch, Retina or both?
