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.

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.

My paths were, my keys in this little, you know, the name value pairs, they were the full path. So it was application slash zoom.us.app slash content slash macos.zoom.s. I don't know why they were bundle paths in Dan's thing, but maybe it varies on each system. But anyway, the values are just dates. It's a simple default to write a command to change it.

So I did that for Zoom, which I had recently used to share my screen, and it had complained, and I set its date to 3024. So in theory, it will never complain again. And having a GUI app for this is good if people don't want to mess with like command line stuff or whatever. But many questions are raised by this discovery, right?

So first of all, the whole point of this thing was like, oh, what if someone's spying and you want to be reminded every once in a while to know that someone's spying and yada yada?

Well, if you can just write a value to a P list to override this, anyone who's like spying on someone or like abusive partner or something is just going to Google this, find this result, set the dates forward to 3024 and never have to worry about it again. So what the hell happened?

Like the security benefits of this feature are so easily bypassed that now we're just being annoyed for no reason, right? Before it's like, oh, we're being annoyed, but they can't figure out a way to make this more secure without annoying us and they figure a month interval is good.

But now it's like, actually, there's no security benefit because anyone who cares can Google this in two seconds and download a GUI app that will set all the things to the future.
