I think Apple should require app vendors to just submit source code and build instructions and have Apple just build it. It'd be harder to pull off on Google Play Store but I think Apple could make this happen if they wanted to.
For me requiring that would be the same as kicking me off the platform.
For whatever reason, ntppool.org is blocked at my work. And of course, you don't get the page that states why when the website is served via https. Not that I need to see the page to know it was either blocked for "hacking" or "entertainment", and I'm guessing it's not entertainment. Edit: This probably explains why our clocks have been off by 45 minutes since Monday. I guess it will be entertaining to see how long i…

Edit: I realize "got told off" didn't really capture what happened. I came in early one day and noticed we were having a dns issue. I manually refreshed my DNS cache and it started to work. I sent him an email to let him know that the DNS cache was expired. He told me I was out of line and complained to HR.
I had to go meet with HR, which was pointless since they think he is on a power trip as well. Anyways he added a line to the IT policy that specifically prohibits "performing a diagnosis on the network or any of IT managed systems."
According to the forum, the pattern matched this third-party library: https://github.com/jbenet/ios-ntp Specifically, all the servers(!) from here are contacted: https://github.com/jbenet/ios-ntp/blob/master/ios-ntp-lib/Ne... Note that the library author wrote: "ios-ntp is often (mostly?) used to make sure someone hasn't fiddled with the system clock. The complications involved in using multiple servers and averaging…

It constantly crashes and causes the phone to reboot itself. Looking at Twitter, there's tons and tons of people reporting the same issue, so it seems pretty widespread.

I don't own an iPhone.

I got told off for diagnosing issues in the past. The IT director is a megalomaniac and interprets it as a challenge to his power. The only time I offer suggestions now is when one of his employees specifically asks me for help. Edit: I realize "got told off" didn't really capture what happened.

He told me I was wrong. So, I wrote a .bat with a netsend command and emailed it to all staff. Multiple staff clicked on the attachment.
