It'll re-stick to the battery, so don't do it that way. So there are still some dangers here. But another interesting thing about how they installed this is...

Once the battery is out, again, you'll see it in the iFixit video and the blog post that we'll also have in the show notes, inside the case where the battery goes, Apple has essentially carved a U-shaped channel, like intentionally, roughly, like it's scuffed up, like if you use like a... A circular buffer on a car and you did a really bad job and you left swirl marks.

That's what they did inside the phone. They made this big, long U-shaped channel, which is where the adhesive goes, that's intentionally scuffed up and rough to give lots of like craggly surface for the adhesive to stick to, which is so wild to see inside Apple's cases that are usually so beautifully, perfectly machined and everything's precise. And here's this area that's made intentionally rough.

And the adhesive sits directly down in that. And this process is, you know, the pull tabs are cool. It's like those 3M things, kind of like you pull sideways and big, long, stringy, sticky things comes out and then it comes out. But this is just so much more elegant. You just apply the voltage and then the thing isn't sticky anymore and you lift it out. It's pretty cool.

I think this is only on the 16 and the 16 Plus and not on the Pro. I think the Pro still used the sticky stuff because I saw a teardown of one of those things as well, which is interesting. But yeah, check out the whole iFixit video. They seem to think that the 16 continues to push the frontiers of easy repairability. Again, not the 16 Pro.

I haven't seen the iFixit teardown of that, but the 16 using the dual-sided design and the battery that's easy to remove and the way they have the parts arranged. Apple is making progress in making these Tiny, very delicate devices that much easier and less error prone to repair.

It just falls out because the adhesive is not sticky anymore. It doesn't leave a residue. It's pretty amazing. That's really cool.

Trusted Computer Computing. It's the database that keeps permission to stop. I don't remember what it stands for.

on login although that shell script doesn't actually work and i sent him a reply about that it's kind of like the chat gpt thing i think he forgot a line in there but one could write a shell script you can take a look at his and fix it by adding the missing line or whatever but anyway you might not have to do that because because now breaking news as of just like an hour ago or something like that there's a new app called amnesia that apparently will allow you to disable these on an app by app basis

Yeah, and so the screen recording thing, I'm living it. I saw this example here, and I wanted to try it myself, and I discovered that in my plist file, which is, I'll read the thing in case you wouldn't. It's in your library directory, and it's groupcontainersgroup.com.apple.replayd screencaptureapprovals.plist. Again, it'll be showing. This sounds like an Amazon product title. Yeah.
