Apple to Scan Every Device for Child Abuse Content — But Experts Fear for Privacy

https://thehackernews.com/2021/08/apple-to-scan-every-device-for-child.html

"Apple on Thursday said it's introducing new child safety features in iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and macOS as part of its efforts to limit the spread of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) in the U.S."

"To that effect, the iPhone maker said it intends to begin client-side scanning of images shared via every Apple device for known child abuse content as they are being uploaded into iCloud Photos, in addition to leveraging on-device machine learning to vet all iMessage images sent or received by minor accounts (aged under 13) to warn parents of sexually explicit photos shared over the messaging platform."

"Furthermore, Apple also plans to update Siri and Search to stage an intervention when users try to perform searches for CSAM-related topics, alerting that the "interest in this topic is harmful and problematic.""

Now this is a huge privacy concern. It's one thing to scan messages and etc but on device scanning? That's a pretty big yikes. While Child Abuse is terrible, the implications of this is far reaching as you just know places like China will have a field day searching for whatever the heck they please when Apple rolls this out in those types of countries. Not a good move by Apple and this will have industry wide implications.

TPM users rejoice!

Linus has a longer video where he talks about the steam deck some more but this is their more casual stream

I do like his excitement and it does show he had quite the time limit. He still didn't discuss anymore performance but it does sound like it is still very powerful.

Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 Review - HOLY SH*T! (Mini LED | 240hz | 5K | 49")

The interesting thing about this is the Picture by Picture mode. So you could have say the left side of the screen displaying your PS5 and right side of the screen displaying your PC. Seeing that, it makes me intrigued. But at $2500 USD... Maybe slightly less so. Still, it these do eventually come down to their lower priced models so the future is bright.
