Deleted Nudes Permanently Leak on Apple?!

New iOS update is resurfacing deleted files that users thought were gone.

In some cases, NUDE photos, EVEN AFTER the user WIPED it and SOLD the device.

According to the Verge, quote:

ā€œApple appears to have a bug that’s dredging up data that iPhone owners thought was gone. Some iPhone owners are reporting that, after updating their phones to iOS 17.5, their deleted photos — some quite old — are popping up again, according to a Reddit thread that MacRumors spotted. iOS beta testers had the same complaints about the bug last week.ā€

This is quite possible since it’s syncing with the Apple cloud, and may not be rewritten with 1s and 0s correctly. Data when it’s deleted is just removing the pointer to that data, and it’s not fully deleted in such a way that it can’t be recovered until overwritten. This new version of iOS apparently is bringing to light a serious issue with Apple’s data policies, especially since most users do sync with the cloud.

Some sources are now reporting nude photos coming back even after wiping the device. Quote The Verge, ā€œa person claimed in a later post that ā€œaround 300ā€ of their old pictures, some of which were ā€œrevealing,ā€ appeared on an iPad they’d wiped per Apple’s guidelines and sold to a friend.ā€

So if you haven’t already, consider switching to Linux and DeGoogled phone. This way you don’t have to worry about the permanent data leak issue, that comes from sync with a cloud you don’t control the data wiping policies of.

there are people who exist who become expert engineers just to jerk off more efficiently.

I disagree with alot dhh says, but he's spot on here.

another thing to think about is should companies that donate money towards supporting a developer who works on a project get a seat at the table? I can see both sides of it.

just looked at the rim of my coffee mug and found a bunch of cat hair on it. how long have i been drinking cat hair?

yeah there really isn't much coming out that is worth spending $70 on. also can i just say that new games being $70 is bullshit, especially when half the game is behind dlcs and loot box purchases as well.

probably a good move. the playstation exclusives are just so much better.

i think "modern capital misallocation" would be a pretty cool band name. https://www.fountain.fm/episode/9w3Cb1PZB82bufz8XBHE #podcast #bitcoin

i believe he announced he was burning that old one and starting anew under a new nym since, and this came from him, his opsec was shit.

it's disappointing enough that xbox has really gone down hill in the last five to ten years in terms of number of games released and the quality of these games. and then i hear their new big focus is on mobile gaming...jesus fuck i should have gotten a ps5.

yeah it definitely takes some time to get used to the strictness of the compiler. i came from doing Go full-time. so i understand the frustration. Go also has the benefit of a well-developed, mostly comprehensive standard lib. rust takes a more lego-like approach which adds to the learning curve, for sure.

I just started preloading a little over a week ago. doing the slow route though instead of the one week preload.
