The time measurement and triggering of the reboot is in the SEP, which communicates with the SEPKeyStore kernel extension to perform the reboot. It is likely that using an external time source provided over the Internet or cellular networks to tamper with timekeeping will not influence the 3-day timer.
Security-wise, this is a very powerful mitigation. An attacker must have kernel code execution to prevent an inactivity reboot. This means that a forensic analyst might be able to delay the reboot for the actual data extraction, but the initial exploit must be run within the first three days.
I believe in the long-term value of open, accessible file formats like Markdown, HTML, and plain text. Just as plain text has outlived many technologies, these formats will likely outlive me. Being tied to an app creates potential issues in the long run.
It appears that Apple is discontinuing the Lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter that it released alongside the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in 2016.
Roblox has announced it will block under-13s from messaging others on the online gaming platform as part of new efforts to safeguard children.
As we say our long goodbyes to Lightning, I look down at my desk, and find my keyboard, mouse, and trackpad, all using lightning connectors, and I wonder how much longer can I hold on to them.
The Magic Mouse is getting wonky, and it's right click is not great at all. So, yeah, that will be first to go. I am probably going to stay with the Magic Mouse; when I look at alternatives out there, I don't see any good mouses that allow me to scroll up, down, and left, right.
(The other two inputs are still working fine, and I do believe they will last much longer.)
