A European Union consumer advocate describes how Apple fails to comply with DMA. An explanation why Touch ID doesn't always work: you may have negligible fingerprints.

August 15, 2024Episode 357: The Biggest Data Leak Ever
A massive data leak affects virtually everyone in the USA and Canada. What do you need to do? Apple will soon be allowing third party apps to make NFC transactions. We think that's pretty cool, and we'll tell you why. It's a new week, which means there's another variant of stealer malware. And we've got a big reason to avoid browser extensions: they may contain malware.

August 08, 2024Episode 356: Apple Beta Software Changes, Authenticator Blues, and RIP SuperDrive
Apple releases updates to its beta software, including two versions of macOS Sequoia. Upcoming changes to Gatekeeper security will make it more difficult to run third-party software that hasn't been approved by Apple. A bug in Microsoft Authenticator, the two factor authenticating tool, locks users out of accounts. And Apple sells out of a popular piece of hardware.
