link Time Machine's "Floating Time Tunnel" user interface for browsing backups and restoring files is such a useless pretentious piece of shit. I DO NOT CARE for it taking over the entire screen with its idiotic animation, that prevents me from browsing current Finder folders at the same time or DOING ANYTHING ELSE like looking at a list of files I want to retrieve on the same screen. link It even sadistically blacks out every other connected display, and disables Alt-Tab, as if it was so fucking important that it had to lock you out of the rest of your system while you use it. You can't just quickly Alt-Tab to flip back to another app to check something before deciding which file to restore and then Alt-Tab back to where you were. No, that would be too easy, and you'd miss out on all that great full screen animation. It not only takes a long time to start up and play its opening animations, but when you cancel it, it SLOWLY animates and cross fades back to the starting place, so you LOSE the time and location context that you laboriously browsed to, and then you have to take even more time and effort to get back to where you just were. It was designed by a bunch of newly graduated Trump University graphics designers on cocaine, with absolutely NO knowledge or care in the world about usability or ergonomics or usefulness, who only wanted to have something flashy and shiny to buff up their portfolios and blog about, and now we're all STUCK with it, at our peril.

Their implementations are not on-device and thus it's actually significantly more difficult to reverse engineer. Apples unique implementation of on-device scanning is much easier to reverse engineer and thus exploit. Now apple is in this crappy situation where they can't claim their software is secure because it's open source and auditable, but they also can't claim it's secure because it's closed source and they fixed the problems in some later version because this entire debacle has likely destroyed all faith in their competence. If apple is in the position of having to boast "Trust us bro, your iPhone won't be exploited to get you SWATTED over CSAM anymore, we patched it" the big question is why is apple voluntarily adding something to their devices where the failure mode is violent imprisonment and severe loss of reputation when they are not completely competent? This entire debacle reminds me of this video: ▶ this video
