No more Made in China Apple product in the future? Apple has moved some AirPods Pro manufacturing from China to Vietnam Some Apple AirPods Pro cases now say the headphones are assembled in Vietnam, according to a Twitter user, multiple reports on the MacRumors forums, and one Verge staffer who recently purchased a pair, indicating the company may be reducing its reliance on Chinese manufacturing (via MacRumors). Typically, AirPods Pro units contain a message on the back of the case that says the device was assembled in China. Apple famously assembles a large majority of its products in China. But the company has shown interest in, and even made sizable foreign investments toward, diversifying its manufacturing. Thatâs partly due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the ongoing trade war between the US and China that imposed tariffs on some Apple products and components and put pressure on CEO Tim Cookâs lobbying efforts with the Trump administration. As far back as 2017, Apple began assembling some iPhone models in India, too. In February, for example, Apple issued a rare investor note saying that the worldwide iPhone supply would be âtemporarily constrainedâ as its manufacturing partners in China ramped back up amid the outbreak. Nikkei reported last July that Apple was considering moving some of its manufacturing to Vietnam due to the trade war as well. Itâs unclear what percentage of AirPods Pro are manufactured in Vietnam or if Apple plans to make more products in the country. However, The Information reported on Tuesday that it plans to use factories in Vietnam to manufacture a pair of as-of-yet-unannounced over-ear headphones, though Apple is apparently going to manufacture some of the headphones in China as well. theverge.com/2020/5/21/21266574/apple-airpods-pro-vietnam-china-chinese-manufacturing

You know what? The Anti-5G USB Stick Is a Scam A lot of bullshit has been circulating about 5G lately, specifically as it relates to the novel coronavirus. To be very clear: There is no evidence that the rollout of 5G is at all connected to the origin or spread of covid-19. But that hasnât stopped dozens of attacks on cell towers, the proliferation of cockamamie conspiracy theories, and, of course, hucksters peddling bogus anti-5G products to the scared masses. The 5G BioShield USB Key is the latest dumb device to make headlines. On its website, itâs described as creating a âwearable holographic nano-layer catalyzerâ that can be used for the âbalance and harmonization of the harmful effects of imbalanced electric radiation.â Basically, the device creates a holographic bubble that somehow protects you from the scary 5G waves for a bafflingly varied range of 8 to 40 meters. It is, in fact, a regular old 128MB USB stick with vaguely sci-fi words slapped onto it for marketing. Pen Test Partners, a UK-based security firm, wrote a tear-down blog of the deviceâas youâd expect, the stickâs supposed âquantum holographic catalyzer technologyâ transmitter was nothing more than a sticker. No other electronic components were found. The most disturbing thing about the USB stickâbesides the fact it costs ÂŁ300, or roughly $350âis that itâs been recommended by the Glastonbury Town Councilâs 5G Advisory Committee, which has called for an inquiry into 5G tech, according to the BBC. You can find the recommendation and a link to this bogus device on page 30 of the committeeâs final report. The report is also full of spurious 5G claims, saying that birds may fall âout of the sky dead when 5G is onâ and that people could get nose bleeds or commit suicide at higher rates. (Snopes has debunked the 5G bird deaths, while health fears over 5G radiation are also unfounded.) Equally disturbing, the BBC found that the founders of BioShield Distribution show that they were previously involved in a dubious business called Immortalis that hocked a dietary supplement featuring a âproprietary procedure that leads to relativistic time dilation and biological quantum entanglement at the DNA level.â Enough said. But the anti-5G USB stick isnât the only bogus product out there. On Amazon, youâll find an assortment of 5G underpants. Entering â5G protectionâ into Amazonâs search bar will net you 9,000 results with products ranging from pills, stickers, phone cases, hats, and crystal bracelets. Querying â5G shieldâ will get you roughly 1,000 results, including a ridiculous maternity belly band that supposedly protects an unborn fetus from the âdangersâ of 5G. Is it surprising that Amazon hasnât cracked down on these products? No. But it goes without saying that they should. So in light of the charlatans capitalizing on 5G-related coronavirus hoaxes, it bears repeating that 5G frequencies donât present a greater risk than other types of electromagnetic radiation. These bogus anti-5G products are at best expensive placebos, and according to the New York Times, your skin is actually a pretty good barrier against higher-frequency radio waves, including 5G. So, no, no one is catching covid-19 from 5G cell towers. And those brain worms you got? Itâs more likely you picked them up from Twitter.
Still using Zoom? Zoom wonât encrypt free calls because it wants to comply with law enforcement If youâre a free Zoom user, and waiting for the company to roll out end-to-end encryption for better protection of your calls, youâre out of luck. Free calls wonât be encrypted, and law enforcement will be able to access your information in case of âmisuseâ of the platform. Zoom CEO Eric Yuan today said that the video conferencing appâs upcoming end-to-end encryption feature will be available to only paid users. After announcing the companyâs financial results for Q1 2020, Yuan said the firm wants to keep this feature away from free users to work with law enforcement in case of the appâs misuse: "Free users, for sure, we donât want to give that [end-to-end encryption]. Because we also want to work it together with FBI and local law enforcement, in case some people use Zoom for bad purpose." In the past, platforms with end-to-end encryption, such as WhatsApp, have faced heavy scrutiny in many countries because they were unable to trace the origins of problematic and misleading messages. Zoom likey wants to avoid being in such a position, and wants to comply with local laws to keep operating across the globe. Alex Stamos, working as a security consultant with Zoom, said it wants to catch repeat offenders for hate speech or child exploitative content by not offering end-to-end encryption t0 free users. In March, The Intercept published a report stating that the company doesnât use end-to-end encryption, despite claiming that on its website and security white paper. Later, Zoom apologized and issued a clarification to specify it didnât provide the feature at that time. Last month, the company acquired Keybase.io, an encryption-based identity service, to build its end-to-end encryption offering. Yuan said today that the company got a lot of feedback from users on encryption, and itâs working out on executing it. However, he didnât specify a release date for the feature. According to the Q1 2020 results, the company grew 169% year-on-year in terms of revenue. Zoom has more than 300 million daily participants attending meetings through the platform.
