S3 Ep106: Facial recognition without consent – should it be banned?
2022-10-27 18:59

The French regulator's objection, which was echoed last year by at least the UK and the Australian regulator as well, is: "We consider this unlawful in our country. You can't go scraping people's images for this commercial purpose without their consent. And you're also not complying with GDPR rules, data destruction rules, making it easy for them to contact you and say, 'I want to opt out'."

In the same way that Bletchley Park in the UK secretly employed more than 10,000 people I didn't realise this, but it turned out that there were well over 10,000 women recruited into cryptology, into cryptographic cracking, in the US to try and deal with Japanese ciphers during the war.

Their own engineers had gone out of their way to devise tests that they thought would show whether the machine was random enough for card shuffling purposes, but they wanted a second opinion, and so they actually went out and got one.

If you zoom into the main version screen, then both versions actually come out as "iOS/iPadOS 16.1".

Now, my understanding is, when iPadOS 15.7 came out, that was exactly the same time as iOS 15.7.

Is there an iOS/iPadOS 15.7.1 still in the wings that hasn't come out yet, fixing security holes that do exist in the previous version of operating systems for those platforms?
