    So if an iPhone gets stolen, would having Find My completely disabled actually be a bad thing if we’re trying to improve device security? I see that’s listed in the article.

    Would this affect the ability to use the remote lock & wipe functionality?





    • App Store for iPhone
    • App Store for iPad
    • App Store for Apple Watch
    • App Store for Mac
    • App Store for Apple TV

    I guess if this gets argued correctly it means Apple could technically get away with not opening up the iPad, Apple TV and Apple Watch to accept other stores (Mac already lets you install apps directly from developers). I can see this still letting Apple continue to have the stranglehold over their ecosystem.

    I doubt this will change much though. We all know the EU were specifically thinking about the iPhone which needs opening up.










  • It’s an email alias service that generates a gibberish albeit unique email which then forwards on any received emails to your specified email inbox.

    As far as I can tell there’s no way to link the two together unless you can see where the emails are being forwarded to.

    DuckDuckGo offers a similar service (but free), also Proton (simple login) and addy.io (formerly AnonAddy).

    Unsure about firefox relay specifically, but I’ve used DuckDuckGo and simple login (after it was acquired by proton) and both have to process the email first before it forwards it onto you. In the case of DDG, they also helpfully strip out any trackers in the email they pick up too.
