       In response to the DarkSword vulnerabilities, Apple released backported security fixes for several iOS versions. They also started sending push notifications to get users to update:"Critical Security Update Needed: Apple is aware of attacks targeting out-of-date iOS software, including the version on your iPhone. Install this critical update to protect your iPhone."How does this notification work? Did they foresee the need to send security alerts and build that capability into iOS years ago? After days of capturing my iPhone 7 network traffic while waiting to get the alert, I finally got it.Turns out they send a push notification targeted at itunesstored, with identifier com.apple.AMSFollowUpIdentifier.Billing. AMS means Apple Media Services. That sounds like it's the kind of alert they send for "your card was declined when charging your monthly Apple Music subscription".This notification mechanism is flexible enough that they can set the text to "Critical Security Update Needed" and the link target to prefs:root=General&path=SOFTWARE_UPDATE_LINK so it takes you to the Software Updates screen. That's a clever hack... but man, it's a hack.

       Oh and I got the alert in Spanish despite this particular device being set to English. Probably it used the language settings of my iTunes account.

       I saved the entire Artemis II video stream (60GB, 230 hours, 1080p) if anyone wants it.Fire up your BitTorrent client and get this: https://data.nicolas17.xyz/NASA-ArtemisII-Live-Mission-Coverage-m3kR2KK8TEs.mkv.torrent

       Based on the number of likes/reposts vs number of actual downloads, I guess kids these days don't know how to use BitTorrent anymore. I'll try to upload it to Internet Archive but it will take a while.

       @ariadne Seems they're going hard on AI this year."Safari tab group naming" this feels like 'I have an LLM hammer, what nails can I use it on' rather than starting from a real problem to solve."Intelligent pass creation" are they gonna turn photos of boarding passes into Wallet pkpass?"Visual intelligence nutrition" sure hope this means reading nutrition labels and not guessing nutritional value from food photos??We'll find out June 8 👀
