No bad Apples: iPhone-maker forbids villains from using its devices on screen

In a bombshell revelation that may very well spoil all 'whodunnit' films for you going forward, Knives Out director Rian Johnson has revealed that Apple won't allow villains to use iPhones in movies.

In a Knives Out scene breakdown video for Vanity Fair, Johnson revealed some fascinating information regarding Apple's policy when it comes to the use of its products in films – a policy which might make you pay closer attention to a character's choice of handset in all future mystery films.

"I don't know if I should say this or not" the director begins nervously, before stating that the following divulgence "is gonna screw me on the next mystery movie that I write, but forget it, I'll say it – it's very interesting."

“Apple, they let you use iPhones in movies,” says The Last Jedi director, “but – and this is very pivotal if you’re watching a mystery movie – bad guys cannot have iPhones on camera.” 

Johnson then goes on to joke that "every single filmmaker who has a bad guy in a movie that's supposed to be a secret wants to murder me right now!"

Good guys eat apples, bad guys eat oranges

Of course, this kind of practice is far from new – nearly 18 years ago, Wired famously noted that terrorists on the show 24 all used Windows PCs, while its heroes all used Macs. 

At the time, this was presumed to be an example of Apple simply being more aggressive in regards to product placement than its competitors. 

However, Johnson's comments have now explicitly brought the Cupertino company's policy out in the open, turning what was once a long-held theory into a verified fact – more or less.

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore points  in the System Volume

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side The Black Friday iPad deals are never any good, but in 2021 they've somehow failed to clear that laughably low bar, and we've still been surprised by just how poor the Apple-tablet discounts are this year. Seriously – we're talking just $50 / £50 off super-power iPad Pros , and sometimes no discounts at all on entry-level or Mini tablets – and this outlook very likely won't change for the Cyber Monday iPad deals . If you were wanting to buy a new iPad in the Black Friday sales, it might seem like you're plum out of luck. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for deals in your region). It's not all bad news though, not as long as you're willing to try new things (and aren't committed to the Apple ecosystem already). That's because there are a few worthy tablet Black Friday deals on Android slates that make them much, much more tempting than an iPad. Sure, sure, sure: i
