Apple's Missing Egg

You may remember we reported a few weeks ago that Apple had hidden the original Satoshi Bitcoin white paper inside every copy of its macOS operating system for the last few years.This “Easter Egg” filled many of us with geeky joy. 🤪Well, it’s gone in the latest update. 😢

No reason was ever given for the presence of the white paper; however, with its disappearance, it may have been a developer having some fun rather than a big mystery.That’s not all the Apple news, though…oh no!Many of us use an iPhone daily and have probably downloaded multiple apps, but did you know that up till now, Apple has forbidden app developers from taking in-app payments on any platform other than Apple’s App Store?Oh, and Apple charges app developers a whopping 30% commission on every in-app purchase!

In a decision with potentially major implications for NFT and crypto builders, a United States federal appeals court has ruled that Apple violated California’s Unfair Competition Law by forbidding app developers from using any alternative payment method besides the App Store. 

The ruling came as part of a re-evaluation of a 2020 lawsuit filed by Fortnite creator Epic Games against Apple over the tech giant's alleged monopoly in the mobile games market. 

The case’s initial judge said in 2021 that Apple was stifling fair competition. 

Epic Games founder and CEO Tim Sweeney tweeted that “Apple prevailed” broadly but championed Epic’s one win on Monday.

Are all developers now going to be free from Apple's shackles?

🤦Solana Wants AI to Be in Control

What could possibly go wrong? 🙈

With AI bots dominating the press recently, it was only a matter of time before someone in crypto decided to embed one.However, with so many issues requiring the blockchain to be reset, Solana should perhaps be focusing on their foundations, not what's built on top. 🤔Solana users will soon be able to interact with the network through an open-source plugin enabled on OpenAI’s artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, ChatGPT.The plugin will allow ChatGPT to check wallet balances, transfer Solana-native tokens and purchase NFTs when OpenAI makes plugins available.

However, not all users are pleased Solana is starting another new project on top of their stores and smartphones. 😳

One user asked Solana in a tweet to firstly focus on developing a “working block explorer.”

🔓Google’s Security May Not Be That Secure

All of you in crypto know the benefit of extra security, and the 2FA authenticator is usually considered a strong security measure.

However, with its latest update, this may not still be true.Google recently released an update for its popular authenticator app that stores a “one-time code” in cloud storage, allowing users who have lost the device with their authenticator on it to retain access to their two-factor authentication (2FA). While this seems like a good thing on the surface, some users have questioned it.Securing it in cloud storage associated with the user’s Google account means that anyone who can gain access to the user’s Google password would then subsequently obtain full access to their authenticator-linked apps.One user suggested that a possible way around the SMS 2FA issue is to use an old phone exclusively used to house your authenticator app.Let's keep a phone for every 2FA possible; very modern security!
