Very interesting iPhone vulnerability just dropped. Like most big current 0-days, this one requires chaining together many different vulnerabilities in order to be successful, but what makes this one different is that part of the exploit involves an undocumented hardware feature. Long story short: after boot is complete, all the code (as opposed to data) portions of kernel memory are made unwriteable even by the kernel itself, and this is enforced not in software but in hardware by the memory controller, so in theory it's immune to compromises of the OS. But if you write to a magic region of I/O-mapped memory together with a specific key, it bypasses this protection.

Now, what's very interesting is that this feature is not publicly documented anywhere. The researches say it might have been intended for debugging firmware, but that's only a guess. The fact that it needs a key seems to indicate that Apple probably knows about it internally and put in weak anti-exploit countermeasures, but again, we cannot be sure. So there are several different possibilities here:

Whoever made this exploit found it with brute-force exploration. That's not impossible, but the fact that you need to know the exact IOMM address and a key makes it unlikely.

The feature is known to Apple, which leads to three sub-possibilities: i) they were hacked and the exploit technique was exfiltrated, ii) somebody has a man on the inside who leaked it or iii) they were ordered to put this backdoor there by the Powers That Be.

The feature is not known to Apple and was put there by their chip vendors, and they were the ones who were either hacked, infiltrated, or coerced.

Final note: the entry point of the exploit was, once again, iMessage attachments, so if you have an iDevice and you're worried about stuff like this, AIUI Lockdown Mode would make you immune.

I have never been an Apple iDevice person but imma be honest, since Procreate put out the statement on anti-AI generated images and stuff, I have been looking into buying an iPad purely so I can start learning how to use Procreate (gdi for only being on iOS)

I have 3 pays until my birthday so HOPEFULLY I will be able to have enough saved to get it as a bday present to myself lol. I also have a con in a couple weeks so. Who knows how that will turn out. Artist Alleys make me wanna spend all of my money...I need to be careful :') I'm going both days so I need to be even more responsible LOL

Still umming and ahhing between the 11" and the 13" iPad Air M2 (I cannot justify the Pro, oof, I ain't made of money), and I definitely want the 256GB one. Obviously need the Apple Pencil too (Pro? Maybe?). Then there's the stuff like the case, need nib protectors too bc I want a paperlike screen protector bc I have a Samsung tablet atm and it's a glossy screen and it kinda sucks for drawing on. My Cintiq is a more matte screen which is SO MUCH NICER to draw on.

I have ideas and I want a portable option so I don't have to just sit at my desk, I can sit anywhere in the house or even bring it when I go out places, etc, etc...also Procreate has some really neat features (I love you CSP but I am not paying for 2 subscriptions) I was trying it out on my sister's iPad and it's pretty nice indeed, I could get used to this. Also the amount of user-made assets and tutorials for Procreate is so cool, I know I can definitely find something that's in the realm of what I'm wanting to do :3

Also I am one of those people who loves customising their devices and it's so much easier to do on an Apple device over an Android. I use a Samsung phone and I do have it to a point where I really like how I've customised it, but my tablet is another story - it's okay but ehhhh, I want it different. Yes I am going to change my icons when I get my iPad, this thing is gonna be so fun when I am done with it. Still thinking about if I should get a clear back folio case so I can stick prints and stuff in the back or if I should just go for a regular folio case, but that's a problem for idk, a few weeks from now.

Oh god my birthday is in just over a month-

Anyway yeah. Hoping to get the iPad and stuff around my birthday but knowing me it'll prooooobably be closer to Christmas but also I hate waiting so we'll see if my impatience is stronger than my impulsively spending on other stuff I don't need - place your bets now /hj

[the-deviations]

My cats have a food alarm. I’ve set it to ‘Summit’ on my iDevices; it has birds singing. Indicative of what they’d be eating if they weren’t my captives. Heckin cute.

anyway the moopsy’s food alarm is megalovania and y’all know it

[brightsuzaku]

imagine having a spotify to wrap

lol i don't.

I have dabbled with spotify on mobile once and never again, because it was worse than listening to, like, Pandora. I'd listen to ALMOST a full song, and then maybe I move on to a related song despite not finishing the first one, and then to something completely else.

I was like, "Is there some secret way people use spotify in a way that's not maddening?!" and apparently it works properly on idevices or something.

At least Pandora Radio was pretty neat back when it was new and I was listening to it in like, 2009. Anyway, yeah, I dunno. I just use YouTube like a lazy person, haha.

Apple Search Engine in the works, with a reveal coming at Apple’s WWDC event on 6th June (5 days from now), it is rumoured.

Apple Search News-breaker Barry Barry Schwartz of Search Engine Roundtable broke the news on his website and then shared the revelation on Twitter, where it has gained traction and begun a discussion about the ifs, buts, pros and cons of Apple Search entering the online search market... What we think about Apple Search It would make sense if Apple Search became a worldwide web product, if you think about it. Millions of people use Apple devices daily and search - particularly web search where Google are so dominant - would give the company a new area to exploit and masses of growth opportunity for ad revenue, product sales and new user acquisition. Apple Search Engine Confirmed* According to an Apple insider, Apple Search is definitely coming: https://twitter.com/Scobleizer/status/1530606446009733121 Of course, Apple already has a few options when it comes to search, so Apple Search may not be an announcement of a public search engine, it may just be advancements in the Apple search functionality that already exists. Apple Search: iPhone/iPad/etc. A search engine is the software used to help people find information. Apple’s search engine is called "Apple Search" on the iPhone and iPad. You can access this engine by searching for a term on your device. It presents you with a list of relevant results. You can tap on a result to open it. In addition to the standard search results that Apple provides, you can also search the App Store or iTunes. You can also access the "News" search option to get the latest headlines on the topics you’re interested in. You can also search Wikipedia articles on your iPhone or iPad. The search engine helps you find information by providing a list of suggested results based on your search terms, similar to Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo to find information or use Apple’s iCloud Search to find content stored in iCloud. Siri Siri is another form of Apple Search that exists on every Apple device, which spans desktops, handhelds, wearables and TV. Siri works like a normal search engine in many ways, just by using your voice instead of typing. The AI behind Siri is pretty advanced and it allows you to make common tasks quicker and hands-free. How will the new Apple Search involve Siri? Will it enable global search using Siri commands to all, even non iDevice customers? First things first, it’s important to note that Apple has not yet confirmed that it is working on a search engine. However, we do know that Apple is working on an update that will be delivered sometime this year. If you search online for “Apple search engine”, you will find a lot of speculation about it. There are also some who have even said that they have heard it will launch at WWDC. Yet, there is also speculation that it won’t come this year at all. This is an important question because if and when it does launch, it will have a tough time competing with Google and even Microsoft, who have both received major boosts in their web search functionality in the past year. We also know that Apple has been mum about the fact that it is working on a new search engine, so be sure to keep an eye out for any official announcements in the coming days! Conclusion The Apple Search engine, if it is in fact coming, will be an interesting development. Many believe that search is where Google and the likes are going to make most inroads. Google may not be as dominant as they once were, but they still have a strong position.

Apple Search engine seems like a battle between Google and Apple, where Google will be fighting hard to claim the top spot. It’s worth noting that Google is not the only search engine out there and there are many more. Apple might also use other search engines, like DuckDuckGo, to boost its search rankings. That said, the fact that Apple has its own search engine, even if it is in an early stage, will give it an edge over its competitors. Apple Search may also be used to enhance some of the other iApps that you already use. The new search engine would give Apple another way to engage with its customers and drive them towards their products. It may also be used to help people find lost items or get directions (and, of course, help you find your iPhone). Apple Search is a win-win-win proposition for Apple, its customers and consumers. The new search engine, even if it is still in the early stages of development, will become the go-to search engine for many people because it is easy to use and does most of the work for you.

Never lose your place again!

If you have an iDevice, open your pattern in Files or Photos and use the highlighter tool to check off rows or mark/circle the one you're currently working on. Once you're all done, you can erase your notes and revert to the pristine original with just a few taps.

(Something similar has got to exist on Android, but I don't have a device to check it.)

[schadenfreude2019]

my Tab A is for MV viewing, yes, special purpose!!!

now, I found another purpose for it!

ie. my kindle,

I once seen some netizen mentioned that, even though you’ve paid for it, the kindle may disappeared for whatever reason it’ll be…

so, it’s better to have a local copy,

my iDevices are always running out of space, in terms of storage, Android’s definitely more feasible and usable,

but I like my iDevices for productivity, it’s less chance for being laggy!!!!

anyway,

when I got the Tab A, it’s actually for rakuten magazines viewing, but just half year ago,

I find that all these subscription model, they do not release of the images in the magazines, some “important ones”, the reason why I look at these magazines, are simply not included, so, it defeat the purpose for me to subscribe, in the end, I’d rather spend ad hoc, by as I wish, usually the version that I get is more “complete”, well, from the price, you roughly guess whether it’s a complete set, or incomplete!!!!

so, I’ll stick to kindle in the mean time!!

and I’ve found another big purpose for my Tab A, ya, since I’m ditching rakuten, why not go for kindle…

I was looking at my FOD too, I stopped the subscription a while ago,

as I said, I’ve no more purpose in looking into those magazines anymore, eversince whatever it is!!!!

but now, I’ve found the purpose again,

so, I’d to pay for the prime membership to relook into the magazines I’ve purchased on this platform,

especially myojo, winkup, duet,

I purchased potato on the kindle,

later only I found out that, myojo and winkup and duet were slowly getting “complete” release on kindle too, but then, it’s already… I’ve quit!!! I don’t buy them anymore, don’t have the reason,

but looking back at my collection, it’s just soooooo nice!!!!!

so may king & prince… ˆ_ˆ and now, I’m trying to see Number_i from King & Prince!

I used to look at Sho and Ren only,

now, I’ve switched!!!

happy switching!!!!
