Introducing hardsimple.
A design and technology studio exploring the next wave of computing: intelligent, collaborative, and spatial.
Drawing isn’t about mastering faces or trees. It’s about learning to see. Once you can see, you can draw anything.
Design isn’t about making apps or UIs. It’s about being deeply curious about people. Once you truly observe, you can design anything.

Respectfully, your proposal does break encryption.
I am happy to spend as much time as you need reviewing in as much detail as you are comfortable with exactly how it breaks encryption, and why this is so dangerous.
Let me clarify one thing about our draft law to detect online child sexual abuse #CSAM.
Our proposal is not breaking encryption. Our proposal preserves privacy and any measures taken need to be in line with EU privacy laws.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The proposal to scan all digital communication of all EU citizens is not privacy preserving. It is condemned by academics, privacy regulators, and the internal legal experts at the Council of the European Union for its gross violation of privacy.

📣Official statement: the new EU chat controls proposal for mass scanning is the same old surveillance with new branding.
Whether you call it a backdoor, a front door, or “upload moderation” it undermines encryption & creates significant vulnerabilities

Apple Vision Pro was made possible by years of breakthroughs from our design and engineering teams. The result is so profound that people are often emotional the first time they try it. I’ve seen it firsthand. Congratulations to the Apple Design Team for winning this rare award.
D&AD Black Pencils are reserved only for truly groundbreaking work. At D&AD Awards 2024, @Apple was awarded a Black Pencil in the Digital Design category for the VisionOS operating system.

I produced a half-hour animated overview of the Broken Money subject matter.
It covers the history of money, the development of banking, and how new technology changes the way we interact with money over time.
Enjoy:

Encryption is one of the most important tools we have for maintaining privacy and security online. We applaud Apple for listening to experts, child advocates, and users who want to protect their most sensitive data. apple.com/newsroom/2022/12/a…
