Which one is it? This isn’t Schrodinger’s iPhone.

So I still don’t understand the fervour people had over this - the only reason I can think of is not understanding how it worked.

Or that it was a built in backdoor running in your device.

The difference is what happens on your own device should be in your control. Once it leaves your device then it’s not in your control. Which is where the entire issue was. It doesn’t matter if I toggle a switch on whether to allow upload or not, the fact it was happening on my device was the issue.

I think I was the only one who actually read the paper and didn’t go “REEEE muh privacy!!!” after seeing the headline.

Did you also read the difference in how Apple was trying to go about it and how literally everyone else was going about it?

Apple wanted to scan your files on your device, which is a huge privacy issue and a huge slippery slope (and a backdoor built in).

The entire industry scans files when they are off your private device and on their own personal computers. So your privacy is protected here, and no backdoor built in.

Apple just had a fit and declared that if they can’t backdoor and scan your files on your own device then they just won’t try anything, even the most basics. They could just follow the lead of anyone else and scan iCloud files, but they refuse to do that. That was the difference.

You already own your own crypto though, without buying it.

The issue isn’t that he bought low and sold high, but that he bought his own property from himself to give the illusion that it had value and demand that didn’t really exist. And if he hid the fact that he was the purchaser of his own coins, this would make it even more shady. He didn’t want it to be successful, just to artificially inflate its value long enough to make a good sum of money and then run.

Think like buying a junker car and pouring sawdust in the engine to hide the clanking noise so you can sell it for more than it’s worth. You have artificially made it more valuable in the short term to make money and left the fall to the next guy.

Is it illegal? As this is crypto, not technically due to lack of regulation.

Wait until you see what the new OSs will need soon. Windows Copilot+ PC, macOS with Apple Intelligence, and newer versions of Android all have a starting need of 16GB (for background AI processes that are done on device). I doubt they will have a small idle RAM footprint.

(iPhone and iPad OS hasn’t been stated for their RAM requirements, but they never do.)

From how it’s (badly phrased) it sounds like he made the coins and then “bought” 5% of all of them (from himself) to make it look like there were people buying it, then marketed it out for others to also buy.

Similar idea behind the whole GameStop stocks pump and dump happened. Put in some money to give the illusion that it’s hot and in demand, and then cash out when enough have joined.

Wow, what is running in your background though?

I have Windows 11 and it uses a total of 5.6 GB of RAM (I’m also using a Surface Pro 7 if that matters) at idle. I would bring up task manager and see where all that RAM is going.

Have you tried something like Wine or even Proton for it? I know that Proton is thought as more for games, but it runs Windows apps in general. Just add the app as a “game” in Steam and tell it to run with a version of Proton.

In 2022, the company made a promise to have 25% of its drinks sold in refillable or returnable glass or plastic bottles, or in refillable containers that could be filled up at fountains or “Coca-Cola freestyle dispensers”.

It’s reusable, not recyclable that is the pledge. While recyclable is good, reusable is better.

Denmark doesn’t have any laws making it reusable only.
