It's so fucking stupid how #iPhone/#iOS devices can't be fucking unlocked or backed up or accessed through ANY means the moment ure unable to unlock the phone i.e. through passcode when the screen is (partially) broken.
I've experienced this several times before, last time when my first gen SE had an unresponsive screen, and using Touch ID requires you to unlock the phone through PIN first. Same thing here has happened to my mom's 11 Pro Max, where she couldn't use Face ID to unlock the phone, or connect any USB devices to the phone, without unlocking using her passcode first - 'cept half of her screen's unresponsive to touch, so, not possible.
#Apple devices are so 'secure', with the right combination of things happening to your device.. you could just end up being locked out, forever lol.
😂🤣😂 The #Trump brothers are launching a smartphone to prove to #Apple & #Google that you can build a “Made in #America 🇺🇸” phone—but they are having problems due to many electronic parts being made overseas.

I just realized that today is the 24th anniversary of when I started the #Safari and #WebKit projects at #Apple. 🤦♀️ Which just goes to show how much my life has moved on and changed since leaving the Fruit Company over a dozen years ago. 🤷♀️
Dog almighty, I am old AF. But let's keep that fact between ourselves, OK? 😂
It's also @kocienda's birthday. Which is why I remembered this at all. Happy birthday, Ken! 💖
A brand new 68k Mac emulator quietly dropped last night!!
“Snow” can emulate the Mac 128k, 512k, Plus, SE, Classic, and II. It supports reading disks from bitstream and flux-floppy images, and offers full execution control and debugging features for the emulated CPU. Written using Rust, it doesn't do any ROM patching or system call interception, instead aiming for accurate hardware-level emulation.
