I use it all of the time! I actually love it but I use it for grayscale mode, nothing actually critical. And yeah it triggers randomly but I am never upset to be without color.
No they are talking about the new camera button on the same side as the power/siri button. Which is semi-ironic considering the volume buttons still work fine as camera buttons they just don’t also handle zoom (you can slide your finger on the button to adjust zoom). I honestly am more annoyed at the button than enjoy it, yet another button I accidentally press when I nearly drop my phone and now have the camera app open.
> despite an insignificant fraction of customers using such a feature?
Isn't that the exact same argument against Lockdown mode? The point isn't that the number of users is small it's that it can significantly help that small set of users, something that Apple clearly does care about.
Lockdown mode costs ~nothing for devices that don't have it enabled. GP is pointing out that the straightforward way to implement this feature would not have that same property.
? I use firefox all of the time and I don’t believe I have been marked as a “bot”? I rarely hit website captchas/browser checks. Do you have anything to read that says otherwise?
I use Firefox and have a VPN turned on most of the time, so I'm not sure which one's causing it, but I do occasionally get a Cloudflare page saying they've determined I'm a bot. Not captcha or anything, I'm just blocked from seeing the content.
I have no issues with Google captchas but CF just gives my Firefox install an endless spinner with no option except to contact them and provide them all the details that they couldn't collect automatically to "debug" the issue.
> It's also a page that's never visited by humans.
Never is a strong word. I have definitely visited robots.txt of various websites for a variety of random reasons.
- remembering the format
- seeing what they might have tried to "hide"
- using it like a site's directory
- testing if the website is working if their main dashboard/index is offline
Yes. I have checked many checkboxes that say "Verify You Are a Human" and they have always confirmed that I am.
In fairness, however, my daughters ask me that question all the time and it is possible that the verification checkboxes are lying to me as part of some grand conspiracy to make me think I am a human when I am not.
The string “null” or actually null? I have recently seen a huge amount of bot traffic which has actually no UA and just outright block it. It’s almost entirely (microsoft cloud) Azure script attacks.
I do not consider auto-upgrading people to pay more for something they probably aren’t already using “transparent”. Most especially if they didn’t mention in the email that there is a way to keep the existing price.
