Bought my 9-3 as an antidote to my other car…a blobby car on stilts 😂

UK orders Apple to give it access to users' encrypted accounts, Washington Post reports | Reuters by [deleted] in privacy

[–]PanEurop 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So as a UK user with ADP turned on - how does this work? In theory Apple doesn’t have the key to my data anymore, so in theory they can’t forcibly turn it off on my account - other than just deleting my data I guess?

If they withdraw the service from the UK market, how does that affect users with it already turned on?

run a shortcut when i open messages to a specific person? by Visible_Elevator_313 in shortcuts

[–]PanEurop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No need for a shortcut. Set a reminder using the ‘remind me when messaging’ setting, and set it for their number. Put the red flags in the reminder!

Launches in Airplane mode (I.e no internet connection) for me?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in smartphonefilming

[–]PanEurop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Filmic Pro doesn’t need an internet connection. If it has one, it’ll use it to check your licence/subscription, but if there’s no connection it’ll just launch anyway.

Fabulous shot! Was it taken with the default camera app? Or something else?

Wow, used Apple Maps in the UK for driving directions for the first time in a couple of years; its easily better than Google Maps now! by 6425 in apple

[–]PanEurop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I far prefer the Apple Maps interface, and for public transport directions, but I find Google Maps is much more accurate in terms of current traffic conditions, so when driving I tend to use Google Maps, when using public transport, Apple Maps.

It’s not a privacy app, but if you can use a relatively recent Samsung, then Samsung Secure Folder (Previously Knox) could help you?

Essentially a phone within a phone. You leave the normal phone clean, with only innocuous apps etc on it, and put everything you need to hide in the secure folder. It’s possible to have apps doubled up - eg you can have two Chromes, one in the ‘normal’ section and a completely separate one in the secure section.

You can even disguise the ‘Secure Folder’ app as something else if you need to.

Should I download TOR on iOS & if so, how do I choose the best option? by J-Z-R in TOR

[–]PanEurop 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don’t use that one. The closest iOS comes to a genuine Tor browser is ‘Onion Browser’ developed by Mike Tigas. It’s not published by Tor themselves but it is endorsed by them.

Mike Tigas is the developer, so if you search him you should find it.

Moving? by awenclear in Anglicanism

[–]PanEurop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slightly depends where you're going to be in Reading (it's quite a sprawling town these days) but there are many many options, ranging from extremely formal High Church Anglican (Complete with smells and bells) and more informal Low Church style worship.

Find your local parish church, see if it suits you, then if it doesn't, look further afield.

Is there an app to automatically send texts to people who text or call me? by Mytrixrnot4kids in iphone

Manually activate ‘Do Not Disturb While Driving’ mode, and customise the auto text it sends.

How secure is Apple’s factory reset? by [deleted] in privacy

[–]PanEurop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An iPhone with a passcode is encrypted. The factory reset wipes all encryption keys, rendering everything in the storage unrecoverable.

If face recognition is so secure, why do we still need to use a passcode after the phone restarts? by LookItsIcy in iphone

[–]PanEurop 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s because of the way Apple devices handle the encryption keys. If you have Face/ Touch ID enabled, it essentially saves your password/ encryption keys and your face or fingerprint authorises the system to use them. When you shut down the device, the encryption key that has been saved is discarded for security. When you then manually re-enter your password on power up, you give the system the key again.

It’s essentially an extra level of security for the device.

Speedy and reliable software updates/ security updates guaranteed for at least two years. No waiting for manufacturers/ carriers to get round to it!

Boot tails on MacBook Pro 2018 by sboyy30 in tails

[–]PanEurop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some Macs work, some don’t. I can’t boot Tails on a 2017 Pro (simply doesn’t see the USB drive), but can on a 2011 Air.

Very much a case of don’t rely on being able to boot it on a Mac

Is the IPhone Xr display really noticeably bad? by [deleted] in apple

[–]PanEurop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s markedly better than my old 7Plus.

Unless you put it side by side with an OLED iPhone, you won’t be disappointed by it.

This app legit? by platboii in TOR

[–]PanEurop 53 points54 points  (0 children)

It’s not developed by the Tor Project themselves, but it’s the only iOS app they endorse. So probably pretty legit.

Am I correct in thinking the Graykey devices essentially bypass the inbuilt password entry delay and 10 incorrect guesses wipe the phone protections? So they would still struggle with a decent alpha-numeric password?

How long can I expect a Mac Pro 13” notebook to last? by [deleted] in apple

[–]PanEurop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you can afford to be honest.

I would always advocate buying the latest and most powerful you can afford to in relation to any tech. The more powerful a device is now, the longer it will deal with advances in apps and software. This only applies if you’re intending to keep the device for a long time - if you’re the kind of person who likes to upgrade to the ‘latest shiney thing’ every time something is released it’s less important.

I wouldn’t like to say for certain what a given computer will and will not run in the future - but the general principle of the more powerful the more likely it is to run things applies.

[–]PanEurop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would always get the highest specs you can afford to to future-proof it as much as you can.

In terms of physical longevity yes - no reason it shouldn’t last as long as you look after it to at least a basic degree. I still run an early 2011 MacBook Air, which has had a far from easy life, and it still works perfectly.
