Because the attestations will only work on iOS and Google Play integrity attested devices. Meaning Apple and Google accounts required.

A phone is also required then?

This is an assumption, but not confirmed.

I spent months designing a system, exactly like this. An account is not needed, at least for Apple.

Play Integrity could the worst offender here, as it can be leveraged to force a user to have installed the app through the Play Store. Indirectly, requiring a Google account.

The prices are literally marked on the shelves.

Today, yes. I can imagine a future where that sticker is replaced with an electronic display, and facial rec shows you an individualized price.

You don't think customers are going to figure that out by talking to each other and comparing prices on the spot?

I seem to recall that the entire chip that was created by buddy, to enable skynet, was actually a chip in a Terminator that was reverse engineered.

Leaving the original timeline uncertain.

Was it original, really the original? Or the 10th, or millionth loop?

Skynet can still be in our future.

So which path is in Mr. Karp's future? Oh wait he's an exempt one right? (says me before reading the article and finding out about his dyslexia...)

It doesn't hand over control of computing to governments

I wish the website could tell us how life is like in 2027!

Itd be nice if our computer programs were more deterministic, that's what we use computers for. Not to repeat failure modes of humans.

You can’t disable Liquid Glass. You can tone down some of the transparency but that all.

The A18 Pro chip has 8B of ram and no option to change it.
