Do you have a link that actually corroborates and explains this?
I can make one, yes. We thought it was irresponsible to release it at the time. But hey, times change. Will update shortly.
It still transmits keystrokes over Bluetooth even when it's connected over USB?
Yes. It is possible intercept keystrokes for an Apple keyboard that has been previously connected to a computer or laptop. It was tested as part of this vulnerability for Apple shortcuts: https://jestlandia.github.io/apple-shortcuts-vulnerability-1....
Are you sure about the keyboard? Mine disconnects from BT when it's plugged in (and continues to work)
You still have to switch it "on" which means it is emitting a BT signal. It leaves users vulnerable to keylogging via BT. It's well-attested and was reported to Apple in Q4 2022.
Ideally the on/off switch would not control both the power and BT.
The people who like the magic mouse (not me) don't care, and the people who even otherwise would never use a magic mouse get to keep making fun of it. Why would they bother?
I like the magic mouse, and I care that I can't charge it while using it. I also care that I have to activate bluetooth in order to use it, even if it's plugged in. Same with the keyboard. WTFF.
It'd be awesome if Apple could make skins for the iMac. That way it wouldn't look as dated in 3-5 yrs.

This is going to be a huge problem for people that use Calibre to manage their library.
I think that's the point. Amazon doesn't want to share.

I cancelled my Amazon Prime subscription 2 years ago and couldn't be happier. Good riddance.

That conspiracy theory needs work. The federal government pays billions annually for cloud services and it’s “people go to jail” illegal for the government to accept free services which would otherwise cost money (i.e. the government can use the AWS free tier like everyone else but above that they’re paying like everyone else).
It's not a conspiracy theory. It's business as usual for AWS. I'm all for righteousness but that's not applicable to the US Government and DOJ. People are bought and sold all the time.
