lucascantor | 2 years ago | on: Short session expiration does not help security

This is why I prefer short sessions and requiring frequent, passwordless, biometric authentication. Still relatively low friction for the user, and no password to remember or forget, while still reasonably high friction for an attacker.

I've given this a shot using Pixelmator (https://www.pixelmator.com/blog/2019/12/17/all-about-the-new...)

lucascantor | 5 years ago | on: New iPhone SE

I’d assume this new SE, like the 6, 6S, 7, and 8 before it, will continue to prompt users during the initial out-of-box setup process if they want to run their display in “zoomed-in” mode, making the resolution effectively identical to the 4” screen of the older smaller phones.

This is effectively an accessibility feature, but Apple proactively prompts users to enable it.

lucascantor | 7 years ago | on: Apple says it’s tracking your calls and emails to ‘prevent fraud’

...but then you get no notifications whatsoever, except for calls or texts from your contacts.

Maybe this is what some people want, but it's not for me.

lucascantor | 8 years ago | on: iOS 11.3 is available today

I believe Apple has stated they don't ever throttle the CPU on their current generation iPhones, i.e., they wait until they've been out for a full year and replaced by the next generation.
