Let's talk about backdoors. So there is a op-ed by Matthew Green and Alex Stamos on the Wall Street Journal. UK kicks Apple's door open for China. And they talk about the implications of the ridiculous law that the UK has enacted and seems to be trying to leverage. And a quote that John pulled out, which I also would have pulled out had I seen it first, which I didn't.

Congress must immediately enact a law prohibiting American tech companies from providing encryption backdoors to any country. This would create a, quote, conflict of laws, quote, situation, allowing Apple to fight this order in UK courts and protect American safety and security. Hear, hear.

Additionally, there's a longer blog post from Matthew Green, one of the two authors we just mentioned, which expands on all of this a bit. From that blog post, to satisfy the laws of one nation, Apple would have to break the laws of their home country. This creates a conflict of law situation where at the very least, simple, quiet compliance against the interest of U.S.

citizens and customers is no longer an option for Apple, even if the shareholders might theoretically prefer it. I hope this is a policy that many people could agree on regardless of where they stand politically.

We got some very amusing anonymous feedback with regard to Unix compliance for Mac OS. This anonymous person writes, long ago, I was part of the team that did the Unix compliance work at Apple. The Unix conformance suite is vast and comprehensive and the closest thing Apple has to unit testing for the command line tools and kernel interfaces. Cool.

The conformance suite frequently finds bugs before Apple's largely manual testing. I think this is the most important reason Apple keeps up with it. There are government contracts that require bidders to comply with various standards, normally not the Unix standard, but frequently some substandard that the Unix tests cover.

Finally, what was foretold years ago has finally come to be humane. The people who make the AI pin, they are shutting down and they have sold the festering carcass to Hewlett Packard because where else would it go? This is from The Verge. Humane is selling most of its company to HP for $116 million and will stop selling the AI pin.

AI pins that have already been purchased will continue to function normally until 3 p.m. Eastern on February 28th, Humane says in a support document. After that date, pins will no longer connect to Humane servers. As a result, the AI pin features will no longer include calling, messaging, AI queries or responses, or cloud access.

Humane is also encouraging users to download any pictures, videos, and notes stored on their pins before they are permanently deleted at that shutdown time. Hewlett Packard is buying Humane's Cosmos their operating system, bringing on Humane technical staff and will get more than 300 patents and patent applications, Humane says in its press release.

Humane reportedly started looking for a buyer shortly after the launch of the AI pin at a price as high as $1 billion, a lot more than the $116 million acquisition price announced today.

We are sponsored this week by Factor. So I'm sure you've probably heard of Factor before, and you've probably heard of other meal services where they send you a whole bunch of ingredients that you have to spend a whole bunch of time to put together and make a meal. That's not what Factor is. Factor is different.
