In light of the UK's order for Apple to create a backdoor in Advanced Data Protection for iCloud (which you should still enable), it may be worth considering using Cryptomator (https://t.co/wJkXTzJFVb) to privately encrypt your data before syncing/uploading to the cloud.

@amirrajan Awesome! I’m happy to help beta test if you’re interested.

[Andrew @TechLawGuru]

@amirrajan Please make a dark mode version of MIRTS for playing at night.

@AskWorkspace Is there a way to search the X-Gm-Original-To header field in Gmail? If not, please add that capability so that we can create filters based on that field.

@neuralcamapp @AppStore FYI, it looks like someone has created an illegal knock off copy of the NeuralCam app (https://t.co/rBObsOJerL):

@yoctoville That’s great to hear! Let me know if you’re ever interested in beta testers for future updates.

[Andrew @TechLawGuru]

@yoctoville David, your Alarmed app is fantastic & I use it all the time. I’m concerned that it hasn’t been updated in a very long time & that Apple’s recent “App Store Improvement Notice” means that they will remove Alarmed from the App Store due to its lack of recent updates.

[Andrew @TechLawGuru]

@yoctoville Thanks for the response. I do hope you’re able to continue supporting and maintaining Alarmed. I’ve been a paid user for many years and it is one of my favorite and most used iOS apps.

@defensivecomput Interesting. The SOHO MK3 has a built-in AP, but it's different and can't be controlled via a Balance like the standalone AP One series can be controlled?

[Andrew @TechLawGuru]

@defensivecomput I've followed https://t.co/xvR2xKWBFP and your other sites for years and appreciate your helpful advice. My neighborhood will be getting fiber optic internet soon and I will need a new router.

[Andrew @TechLawGuru]

@defensivecomput Thanks. Yeah, that looks like it may be a good option...it's just that $400 is a lot! Do you know if I replace the SOHO with the Balance 20x, can I use the Balance to control the SOHO as a wireless AP?

[Andrew @TechLawGuru]

The DrayTek Vigor 2927ax looks like a potential option. The local RADIUS server option to enable WPA2 Enterprise (or WPA3 Enterprise) is intriguing. Although I haven't found a seller in the United States. It looks like you can play with the interface here: https://t.co/fOJTqgsIl4

@defensivecomput The Pepwave Surf SOHO has throughput of only 150mbps. Any recommendations on affordable, secure routers with high WAN throughput? I know the Pepwave Balance line includes routers that support higher speeds, but they cost several hundred dollars.

@duosec @duohelp Why did you remove the IP address from the Duo Mobile login confirmation interface? Until now, Duo was one of the more secure MFA tools b/c it allowed me to verify that the MFA request came from my IP address instead of an attacker's. Please add that option back!

NEW: Remember IDN homograph attacks? Microsoft Outlook just made em worse—Outlook shows a real person's contact card even if the email originates from a DIFFERENT email address (Unicode phishing domain)

@stormshieldapp Can you add the ability for users to enable the Critical Alerts feature in iOS so that alerts can be displayed even with Do Not Disturb turned on? Preferably, the app would let users pick which alerts should be deemed Critical Alerts (e.g., Tornado Warning only).

Hey @Microsoft @Microsoft365 @Office, please add support to Word for the highlight colors that are supported by OneNote. @msonenote offers 40 color choices for highlighting, but Word only offers 15. Should be easy to add. @MicrosoftHelps @colinjwood @levithehun @O365Updates

[Andrew @TechLawGuru]

@alistairjsutton @SpiderOak @SpiderOakAssist It's been five months. Any updates you can share on the status of @SpiderOak One development and the "huge update" you're working on? Last update to the client software was 23 months ago. The more time that passes, the more uncomfortable I feel relying on SpiderOak One.

[Andrew @TechLawGuru]

@SpiderOak @SpiderOakAssist It's been almost 1.5 years since the last update of the SpiderOak One client. Do you plan to continue supporting and providing SpiderOak One, or is it on the chopping block like Encryptr?

[Andrew @TechLawGuru]

@_Jeremy_W @thefinder808 @MSFT365Status That happened to a tenant I manage yesterday. All contact photos in outlook & the user photo/icon in the top left switched to the tenant’s logo—both for emails from senders in the tenant & from external senders. It is causing confusion b/c it looks like all emails are internal.

[Andrew @TechLawGuru]

@SpiderOak @SpiderOakAssist That’s great news! I’ve been a SpiderOak user and advocate to family, friends, and professional colleagues for about a decade now. SpiderOak has saved me from disaster many times over the years, and I’m relieved to hear you plan for SpiderOak One to continue for years to come.
