    Yes, I think that's right, you've found the root of the issue. Thanks for that link. Not great, I expected better from Apple.

    Right, but I deleted the app and all its data. I made sure there was no other app from the same vendor left on the device. I checked the "Passwords" and there was no entry for thes…

    I tried that, and it still has access to account username on reinstall.

    No, I made sure I had only instagram installed and no other app from the same vendor.

    iOS: Apps persist data after full deletion

    I noticed that apps retain info after being deleted. That means we are tracked by the app even after we deleted it. For example, if I delete whatsapp or instagram, choosing to dele…

    Interesting, thank you. Did you compare it to other methods and found it better?

    I feel I am a bit late to the AI party. If I'm honest, I was reluctant to take the plunge, because I love coding so much. But lately I have taken more and more to ask ChatGPT 5.1-T…

    Thanks for the idea. I think it's a great one, but I have a few concerns: 1) The two computers are on 2 different grounds, so I believe it could damage the computers. So I would li…

    I see, you are unplugging and re-plugging, instead of just pressing a button. That makes sense. It feels like a usb mechanical switch should exist, but I guess it does not. Another…

    Hi all, I am trying to control 2 computers that are air-gapped, with 1 mouse and keyboard. Using any standard usb switch or KVM breaks the air-gap, as malware can (and has been kno…

    No problem at all, I didn't interpret it as sarcastic.

    That's absolutely fair, and I am fine with writing software for both computers. However, I need this software to not go via the network at all.

    Comment #45706928

    To try and clarify a bit: I am essentially trying to have a KM (KVM without the V) over USB. To go one step higher, I am trying to control a mac mini from the keyboard of a macBook…

    Thanks, but I want to avoid IP. I want a system that does not go via the network at all.

    Thanks for your thoughts. I agree that using software would be easier, but I wanted to do it in hardware in this specific case. I am unfamiliar with Raspberry pi, but if my underst…
