GrumpSec Spottycat@gruber O.o Advanced Data _COLLECTION_???

@gruber protection right
Sean Harding@gruber “Advanced Data Collection” is a pretty funny mistake.
Kevin Herrera@gruber This poll is going to be split between people who understood what you meant and those that did not.
@kherge Mastodon lets typos get fixed, praise jeebus.

@gruber isn’t that still US-only?

River Brandon@gruber say what?
(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧@gruber I think you gotta remake this one bud 😂
Mieszko Ślusarczyk@gruber *Protection?
Eshu Marneedi@gruber I assume you mean “protection.” Yes.
Albert Kinng@gruber Gruber, I basically use iCloud just for app sync on mobile and nothing more. I use https://cloudmounter.net for every cloud need. Apple occupied almost my whole drive leaving me with low internal storage and a slow M2 machine. Now I have turned off every iCloud feature possible and only have my important apps sync. Now my tera drive is fast and usable and my Mac flies! Lesson learned. iCloud in your Mac is not worth it.
Jonas Wisser@gruber Do you mean Advanced Data Protection?
Numeric Citizen
Jony 👨🏽💻@gruber not sure if anyone else did this, but I was trying to see what the rest of the third option said by tapping on it but can’t change it. Otherwise would have said No 😅
Matthew Janssen 
@gruber Yes but it’s frustrating because 99% of the time I try to use iCloud.com from my work laptop (not associated to my Apple account in any way) it gives me an error saying that none of my devices were able to grant access to iCloud.com. Tried different browsers, clearing cache/cookies/etc. I don’t use it enough to care to troubleshoot and find out what’s wrong but it’s still been annoying.
tackhead@gruber Am I seeing things or did this initially say Advanced Data Collection?
Simon Harper@gruber WTH is that?
ravi@simonharper @gruber E2E iCloud encryption
@ravipatel @gruber is that on by default or a switch to turn on?
@simonharper @gruber Opt in. Default is not E2E, so people don’t lose their data when they forget their passwords
@ravipatel @gruber ahhh. Of course.
Chase Martin 
@gruber Honestly just keep forgetting it exists. Kinda also scared of what might happen if my Apple account gets totally locked out.
Denis@gruber Option 4: Not available in my country.
Philip Kronawetter@gruber Just enabled it. I totally missed that it became available outside the US, so thanks!
Evan Hildreth@gruber thanks for this; thought I had turned it on but had forgotten. Finished setting it up tonight.
Doug Wyatt@gruber but now that I know about it, I will turn it on.
Bill Bennett@gruber John. You missed an option that says: “Eh? What is that? SHOULD I enable it?”
heavyboots@billbennett @gruber Absolutely, if you’re very good with keeping your passwords etc straight. It means your account is fully encrypted and Apple no longer has the ability to do things like reset your password if you forget it, turn the contents over to law enforcement, etc. The only person who can decrypt your account and access the data is you.
Olivier Roux (moose)@gruber protection, not Collection…
Florian Idelberger@gruber I didn’t know about it tbh
macfixer@gruber No, you scared me off of using it (what if I truly need Apple to unlock my stuff?)
Sordan Jnodgrass@gruber Yes, and I had to remove an old MacBook from my account because it was utterly unusable due to un-dismissable infinite dialogues about being unable to log into my iCloud account.
@gruber I’m a little surprised at how low the Yes percentage is! I did it a couple weeks after the feature became available. o_O
Richard @gruber not yet. I’ll pull the trigger at some point but I wear an old series 2 to bed that prevents the feature being enabled. At some point I’ll stop bothering with the second watch, but not today.
