As an added layer of security, you can set the phone to self-destruct by going to Settings > FaceID & Passcode > Erase Data. If someone enters the incorrect passcode more than 10 times, the phone will erase itself. Assuming a 6 digit passcode, there are 1 million possible combinations. An attacker would have an effective 1 in 100,000 chance (.001%) of guessing your passcode correctly

Personally I like the way that this is implemented; makes it easy to download hidden media files onto my Mac. Anyways, if you’re worried about nudes/pr0n being seen by unauthorized parties, I wouldn’t recommend stashing them in your photos library anyways. There are vault-type apps in the App Store that masquerade as note/calculator apps (Calculator# comes to mind) which are more suited to addressing OP’s use case.

 

I've been using Cloudflare tunnels in my homelab. I'm wondering how well they resist subdomain discovery/enumeration by bots/malicious actors. I’m aware that security through obscurity isn’t a real strategy, but I am curious about this from a purely academic standpoint. Aside from brute force guessing, are there any other strategies that could be used to find the subdomains of services tunneled through cloudflare?

yup it was founded in Moscow and they moved their headquarters to Cyprus. They’ve been open and honest about the whole process.

It would appear that this is indeed the same ghostery that sold its users out to the highest bidder.

I recommend using AdGuard which is free and doesn’t have such serious privacy issues:

also there’s no need to pay, the free tier is more than sufficient

Wow I had no idea that this existed for such a long time. I've clearly been living under a rock... 😅

 

Basically the title. Maybe this is old news, but I didn't know about this trick until recently. Have fun, use responsibly :)

Seconding AdGuard. Also, there’s no need to pay, the free tier is more than sufficient. Links for convenience:

Just updated to the latest iOS (17.4.1) and it (un)fortunately does not work 🥲

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I treat my phone like an old school digital camera. I routinely use Image Capture to export my photos/videos to my computer and/or external HDD. I've got a 256GB phone, but I'm never using more than 1/5 of its storage space at any given time

Assuming you’re referring to Apple Store credit, I’ve run into this exact scenario before in a somewhat related way. Accidentally claimed a gift card I meant to send to someone else (be careful with that redeem button in the email lol, it’ll instantly apply the balance to your account with one click, so don’t fat finger it like me 🥲). Apple support wouldn’t (or couldn’t) undo that action. In other words, it’s a one way street. Once the credits enter your account, they can’t be used anywhere other than the Apple Store/icloud/App Store/etc

It's in the app. Tap on any item and then scroll all the way down until you see the box that says Looking for specific info?

Honestly glad I went with the 15" M2 MacBook Air when it came out. This is a very modest spec bump over the M2 Airs.

Faster downloads (sometimes significantly), easier to connect to seeders.
