Amnesty International provides a FOSS tool to check your mobile backups for traces of the Pegasus Spyware. I’d trust that over a sketchy proprietary app. Link: https://docs.mvt.re.

My thoughts exactly… If there’s a FOSS tool to check, then we’d be talking.
“A quick peek behind the curtain”
Whether the new Apple Intelligence features are useful depends on who you ask. But I do greatly appreciate that inference is performed on-device. I think that’s a step in the right direction.

Thou shalt not browse The Internet
I've been using Zen Browser on macOS and Linux for a few months now. It's a great browser experience, and I hope it gains traction. One thing it currently lacks that I'd like to see is a tab group feature like Chrome.

LLMs are a tool, and people need to learn how to use them correctly and responsibly. I’ve been using Perplexity.AI as a search engine for a while now, and I think they’re taking the right approach. It employs LLMs at different stages to parse your query, perform web searches on your behalf, and summarize findings. It provides in-text citations as well, which is an opportunity for a media-literate person to confirm the validity of anything important.
