macrumors 6502

• May 23, 2010

Well this is pissing me off....this of course happens when I sit down to show someone something. We do web and app development. While testing we use xxxxxx.ourdomain.net. Like our CRM software we use internally is hosted at crm.ourdomain.net. A few customer websites are the same while in dev. For some reason today, and just today, the iPad started to append www. to whatever I type in. So if I type in jans.ourdomain.net I get http://www.jans.ourdomain.net I can still goto a URL that Safari has kept like our CRM page but nothing new. I can get to them anywhere else so its not a DNS issue or anything like that. I could find no option to turn this off anywhere. Anyone?

Just add "http://" before it?

id double check on the server side of the website. because the Safari app for the mobile device maybe telling the server to try and load a non-mobile version of it so it thinks if it sends it to a WWW. itll load the intended page. all the sites ive been working on that are subdomains without www load fine without the www being auto filled or whats happening in your case.  

I'm pretty sure Safari only adds "www" to an address when the address as entered can't be found, which makes me think the problem lies with your server.

sounds Like your dns servers are doing some sort of hijacking and redirecting. /b

I'm using 3G, so its not my DNS, it is AT&T's. Second all the sites have identical settings, completely in IIS 7.5. Third we do NOT do mobile redirection and we do no browser check. Everyone says it is the server but no one addresses the fact that it works fine on the iPhone, but not on the iPad.

Change DNS Settings & Speed Up Safari

• 3 How to customize iPhone DNS settings

What is a DNS Server and what does a DNS server do?

DNS is short for Domain Name System and a DNS server connects URLs with the correct IP addresses and vice versa. Many Internet Service Providers (ISPs), like Verizon or AT&T, lack proper and fast name resolution services and employ their own servers. A DNS server’s purpose is to resolve domain names to numeric IP addresses to be understood by your network stack. Don’t worry, we won’t get too technical on you, but it is advantageous to understand that DNS servers can be fast or slow and that this will impact your web browsing experience. Therefore depending on the DNS server you can improve your Safari speed. Just change your DNS server on iPhone and you’ll browse faster.

How to change DNS settings on iPhone

Changing your DNS server settings can be done on the settings page of your current Wi-Fi network. Open up the “Settings” and select “Wi-Fi”. Tap the blue “i” symbol next to your currently connected Wi-Fi network, which would be the one with a checkmark. This will take you to the detailed settings.

Hint: DNS settings can only be changed for Wi-Fi connections , not for the cellular/mobile data!

The detail page of your current Wi-Fi network should display your IP address, subnet mask, router and once you scroll down you should see “Configure DNS” under the heading “DNS” and next to “Configure DNS” it probably says “Automatic” .

Configure DNS settings

Tap “Configure DNS” to customize the content of this field. On the next page you should see the options “Automatic” and “Manual” and numerical values in the “DNS Server” section.

Tap “Manual” to alter the DNS settings on iPhone. Now tap “Add Server” and enter either the Cloudflare DNS 1.1.1.1 or the Google DNS 8.8.8.8 , some say Cloudflare is even faster than the Google DNS server in DNS 1.1.1.1 reviews . We can recommend the following servers for maximum speed:

• Cloudflare:  1.1.1.1
• Google DNS: 8.8.8.8
• Google DNS: 8.8.4.4

How to customize iPhone DNS settings

Before you just delete the other DNS servers note that once you delete your Home Wi-Fi DNS settings, your iPhone will no longer recognize your home Wi-Fi network. So the best way to go about it is to first take a screenshot or copy the original settings down. Now delete the older settings, add the new DNS server and re-enter the old DNS settings underneath. This way you just alter the order of your DNS servers without deleting any. After you changed the DNS settings on iPhone, your original iPhone DNS settings will now act as a backup as soon as the Google DNS or Cloudflare DNS servers are not performing correctly.

This way you can also enter more than one new DNS server and this will optimize reliability and performance of your DNS settings on iPhone.

If you feel like not only your iPhone’s internet performance has gone down , more like your entire i Phone performs slowly you might want to clean up your iPhone storage or if this does not work check for spyware on iPhone .

iOS 17 Safari Features: Profiles, Locked Private Browser, Shared Passwords, Updated Tracking Prevention and More

With every update to the iOS operating system, Apple adds new features to the built-in apps like Safari. In iOS 17 , Safari gains new privacy functionality, improvements to search, updated Siri integration, and more.

In ‌iOS 17‌, Apple expanded on Tab Groups with a Profile feature that is designed to let you separate your browsing for different use cases. You can create a "Work" profile and a "Personal" profile, for example, so all of your work-related browsing is kept separate from your personal browsing.

• Open up the Settings app.
• Scroll down to Safari.
• Tap on New Profile.
• Select an icon, name, and background color for the profile.
• Choose your settings for Favorites and Tabs.

From there, you can edit profiles by tapping into them in the Settings app. In Safari, tap on the Tabs icon with two overlapping squares, then tap on the middle icon and choose the "Profile" option to change which profile is active.

Locked Private Browsing Window

Private browsing windows are now locked and require secondary authentication to unlock and access. If you hand your unlocked phone over to someone and they attempt to open your Safari private browsing tab, access will be denied without a second Face ID / Touch ID scan or a passcode.

• Open the Settings app.
• Tap on Safari.
• Scroll down to Require ‌Face ID‌ (or ‌Touch ID‌) to Unlock Private Browsing.
• Tap the toggle to turn it off and confirm with a ‌Face ID‌/‌Touch ID‌ scan. When disabled, the toggle will be gray.

Private Search Engine

In iOS 16 you can choose a default search engine to use with Safari, but in ‌iOS 17‌, you can choose separate search engines for standard browsing and private browsing.

• Tap on Private Search Engine.
• Tap on one of the Search Engine options to select it.
• Exit out of the Settings.

Tracking URLs

URLs in ‌iOS 17‌ can be stripped of all tracking information appended to the end of the URL so that websites cannot track your browsing using URL identifiers. This function is enabled automatically for private browsing in ‌iOS 17‌, but it can be turned on for all browsing.

• Tap on Advanced.
• Tap on Advanced Tracking and Fingerprinting Protection.
• Toggle on "All Browsing."

Turning this on will ensure that all URLs opened in Safari will strip the additional tracking information that's sometimes pasted on to the end of a URL.

Hide IP Address From Websites

In ‌iOS 17‌, there is an option to hide IP address from both trackers and websites or only trackers when using the iCloud Private Relay feature. With Trackers and Websites selected, IP address will be kept cloaked and websites will not be able to determine your location using that information.

Search Improvements

Search is more responsive in ‌iOS 17‌, so it brings up search results more quickly. It also brings up a wider range of search suggestions for you to choose from.

Listen to Page

‌Siri‌ in ‌iOS 17‌ can read a website to you, which is useful if you come across a long-form article or other content that you want to listen to while you do something else. The feature works as long as Reader View is available on a website.

• Open up Safari.
• Navigate to the content that you want ‌Siri‌ to read.
• Tap on the Aa icon in the address bar.
• Select the Listen to Page option.

From there, ‌Siri‌ will begin to read the content on the page. You can pause by tapping on the Pause Listening option, and resume with the Resume Listening option. If you lock your display, you will get dedicated playback controls.

‌Siri‌ will also read a page if you open up a website to a selected article and ask ‌Siri‌ to "Read this to me."

Shared Passwords and Passkeys

In ‌iOS 17‌ (and iPadOS 17 / macOS Sonoma ) there is an option to securely share passwords and passkeys with friends and family members. With the sharing feature, passwords for shared media accounts, utilities, bills, and more can be provided to multiple people.

This is not strictly a Safari feature, but it does make logging into sites where you use shared login information simpler.

Privacy Settings

Note that privacy-focused settings that include Block All Cookies, Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement, and Check for Apple Pay have been relocated from the "Privacy & Security" section of the Safari settings to the "Advanced" section, which is more hidden.

A rundown on all of the new features in the ‌iOS 17‌ update can be found in our comprehensive iOS 17 roundup .

How to see a web page's full url in safari.

Modern versions of Safari don't show the entire URL of a page in the address bar---it just shows the web site's domain name.

Modern versions of Safari don't show the entire URL of a page in the address bar---it just shows the web site's domain name. If this bothers you, it's easy to change.

For example, if you visit this article in Safari---whose full URL is

---Safari will only show

in the address bar. It's only telling you what site you're on, not what page you're on.

The easiest way to reveal the full URL is to click on the Smart Search Field. From here you can copy the location into a message or e-mail.

That's easy, and maybe good enough for most folks. But what if you want to always see the full URL for everything you visit?

To do this, you will need to open Safari's settings by clicking on the Safari menu and choosing "Preferences" or by pressing Command+, on your keyboard.

Once you've accessed Safari's preferences, click on the Advanced tab and check the box next to Smart Search Field to "Show full website address".

Now, wherever you go and whatever you visit, you will see the full URL in the search field. If you prefer the default, tidier way that Safari does things, simply reverse the process and uncheck the box.

IP address, aka Internet Protocol address, can be a window to your location, browsing history, and more. Unfortunately, malicious parties or advertising companies can misuse this information. But thanks to Apple, you can now hide your IP address in Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

As part of Apple’s Intelligent Tracking Prevention endeavor, hiding your Safari IP address is a great addition. But before we move on to enable it, let’s learn a bit more about what it is and how it is helpful to you as a user.

Why should you hide your IP address in Safari?  

While Safari  stops trackers  from following you across websites, perpetrators can still trace your IP address and relay your data to other websites, apps, advertisers, etc. 

And while tailor-made adverts can be helpful, they could also lead to a severe privacy breach issue. So, naturally, hiding your IP address is a wise decision.

Earlier, one had to use a VPN, proxy servers, or other complex methods. But Apple has made it super simple with two easy-to-use features.

Hide IP address vs Private Relay

You can block websites from seeing or tracing your IP address by enabling Hide your IP address .

And Private Relay takes things to another level with a full IP mask, i.e., hides the IP address from websites and trackers. It also prevents ISPs from profiling you across different apps.

Notably, hide your IP address is available for all users with an updated Safari, while Private Relay is only for iCloud+ subscribers. If iCloud Private Relay is enabled on iPhone/iPad and Mac, you’ll see the following two options when you go to Hide IP address:  

• From Trackers and Website   
• From Trackers 

How to hide IP address in Safari on iPhone and iPad

• Launch the Settings app . 
• Go to Safari . 
• Scroll down and tap Hide IP Address under the Privacy and Security section.

How to hide IP address in Safari on Mac

If you’ve updated to macOS Ventura or are still running macOS Monterey, here are the steps to know how to do it. 

In macOS Ventura or later

• Launch the Safari app. 
• Click Safari at the top left corner of the screen.

• Enter the Privacy tab. 

In macOS Monterey or earlier

Use Private Relay to hide your IP address on iPhone

• Launch Settings . 
• Tap the Apple ID [your name] icon. 
• Go to iCloud . 
• Scroll down and tap Private Relay under the iCloud+ section. 

Use Private Relay to hide your IP address on Mac

The process of hiding IP addresses in macOS Ventura and Monterey are almost similar, with a few tweaks along the way.

In macOS Ventura or later 

• Click Apple logo → System Settings . 
• Choose [your name] → iCloud . 
• Select Private Relay → Options . 
• Click Turn On . 
• Maintain general location:  Allow sites to display translated content in Safari while hiding your IP address. 
• Use country and time zone: To utilize a more general location for your IP address while remaining inside your nation and time zone. 

In macOS Monterey or earlier  

• Go to Apple logo → System Preferences . 

• Maintain general location

Bonus: Other ways to hide IP address

• Virtual Private Network: Your IP address gets masked when you use a VPN to access the internet. iCloud Private Relay is similar to a VPN, but you can also opt for dedicated VPN services. Follow our ultimate VPN guide to learn more about how and why to use VPN. 
• Ad Blockers: Though the above-mentioned methods are the most recommended. If you want to step up further, you can install a Ad Blocker app to block Ads and mask your IP address on your device. 
• Hide IP address in Cellular Settings (only for iPhone): Open Settings → Cellular → Cellular Data Options → toggle on Limit IP Address Tracking.

To check your IP address on iPhone, go to  Settings → Wi-Fi  → tap the  (i) button next to the network name, and you can view your IP address under IPv4 Addresses. 

No, your IP address cannot pinpoint your precise location. However, it can give an idea of the vicinity. Furthermore, IP addresses are not capable of revealing specific personal information such as your name, phone number, address, and so on.

Winding up…  

Safari has seen several interesting improvements over time. And I like that the change prioritizes privacy and accessibility. 

So much so that the latter has taken the lead in the Chrome vs. Safari war. What, according to you, are the advantages and disadvantages of Safari? Please share your opinions in the comments below.

U.S. weapons may have been used in ways "inconsistent" with international law in Gaza, U.S. assessment says

By Olivia Gazis , Margaret Brennan , Camilla Schick

Updated on: May 10, 2024 / 11:00 PM EDT / CBS News

Secretary of State Antony Blinken delivered to Congress on Friday a highly anticipated report on the Israeli military's operations in Gaza that accused Israeli forces of potentially violating international humanitarian law but did not formally find they had already done so, according to the document's key findings. 

The report states that though there are allegations that Israel violated international humanitarian law during the period covered by the report, Jan. 1, 2023 through late April of this year, the U.S. doesn't have "complete information" on whether U.S. weapons were used in those actions. Its authors cite the difficulty of determining facts on the ground in an active war zone as well as Hamas's use of civilian infrastructure for military purposes.

"Nevertheless, given Israel's significant reliance on U.S.-made defense articles, it is reasonable to assess that defense articles…have been used by Israeli security forces since October 7 in instances inconsistent with its [international humanitarian law] obligations or with established best practices for mitigating civilian harm," the report adds. 

Though it finds that Israel "did not fully cooperate" with the U.S. government in the initial months after Oct. 7 to maximize the flow of humanitarian aid, the report notes a "substantial increase" in its efforts more recently. 

And while the overall level of aid reaching Palestinian civilians remains "insufficient," the report says, "we do not currently assess that the Israeli government is prohibiting or otherwise restricting the transport or delivery of U.S. humanitarian assistance" within applicable U.S. law. 

The report criticizes the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for potentially falling short of using well-known best practices for reducing civilian casualties. 

"While Israel has the knowledge, experience, and tools to implement best practices for mitigating civilian harm in its military operations, the results on the ground, including high levels of civilian casualties, raise substantial questions as to whether the IDF is using them effectively in all cases," it says. 

But the report also reveals that Israel has "opened a number of criminal investigations, which are ongoing, including into allegations related to deaths and treatment of detainees and allegations of violations of international humanitarian law," while noting no known prosecutions for alleged crimes have been completed. 

The IDF's fact-finding assessment mechanism also "continues to examine hundreds of incidents to consider possible misconduct in the context of ongoing military operations," the report says. 

The report also notes Israel's extensive efforts to inform Gazan civilians of its "hundreds of tactical pauses," where to go (via leafleting and text messages) to avoid harm, and its sophisticated system for identifying where civilians are located", but it also states "the reported rate of civilian harm in the conflict also raises serious questions about the efficacy of Israeli precautionary measures."

A senior State Department official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive assessment, said the NSM-20 proved to be a useful tool in getting the Israeli government to provide information about specific incidents and in some cases, in improving the ways in which it was facilitating the delivery of humanitarian assistance. 

The 46-page, declassified report is a compendium of views from bureaus and diplomatic officials from across the State Department and includes input from the Pentagon and White House. 

The memorandum, known as NSM-20 , required written commitments within 180 days from the more than 100 countries that currently receive U.S. military aid that the weapons are being used in accordance with U.S. and international humanitarian law and that the countries would duly facilitate the delivery of U.S. humanitarian assistance. Those in active conflict — including Israel, Ukraine, Nigeria, Somalia, Iraq, Colombia and Kenya — faced a shorter, 45-day deadline of March 24 to submit their assurances.

The State Department then set a self-imposed deadline of May 8 to deliver a mandated review of those assurances to Congress, but the timing of the report's delivery slipped briefly as officials finalized its conclusions. 

"This is the first time the department has conducted such an exercise. And so we are taking all deliberate care to make sure that we get everything in it absolutely correct," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a press briefing on May 8. 

The report found that the assurances provided by the seven countries in active conflict were "credible and reliable so as to allow the provision of defense articles…to continue." 

Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, a key proponent of NSM-20, expressed disappointment in the product delivered Friday. 

"The one important general finding that was made in this report was the conclusion that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Netanyahu government has violated international law in its conduct in Gaza," Van Hollen said in a phone briefing with reporters. "But the administration ducked all the hard questions about making the actual determination," he said. 

Van Hollen said credible non-governmental organizations had already laid out a number of alleged violations of international humanitarian law in great detail. "But this report skirts any sort of deeper investigation into the facts and law behind those cases."

"It's not credible that the U.S. government has less information than organizations like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Oxfam," he said. 

Republican Senator Jim Risch of Idaho, the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, also criticized the report's findings, calling it "politically damaging" for Israel.

"The administration is attempting to placate voters on the far left at the expense of a close ally in the midst of its justified war with Hamas terrorists," Risch said in a statement. 

The report comes at a critical time in Israel's now seven-month long military campaign in Gaza. In a marked policy shift, President Biden said in an interview with CNN on Wednesday that the U.S. had paused one shipment of 2,000 pound bombs to Israel to prevent them from being used in a major operation in Rafah, a city in southern Gaza, acknowledging for the first time that "civilians have been killed as a consequence of those bombs." 

The White House announcement released Tuesday night specifically stipulated that one shipment of 3,500 bombs, including 500- and 2,000-pound so-called dumb bombs, had been paused the week prior due to concern about the "end use" and the "impact they could have in dense urban settings." The paper statement also stipulated that the State Department was reviewing other deliveries, including JDAM kits, which help turn dumb bombs into precision munitions. More than 1 million Palestinians are estimated to be sheltering in Rafah. 

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Friday the president had been "fully briefed" on the memorandum. 

Israeli forces have for weeks been conducting airstrikes in Rafah, and earlier this week sent in tanks and troops to seize portions of the city, including the Rafah border crossing with Egypt. Biden administration officials have described the incursions to date as "limited," while warning against a broader operation that would imperil a greater number of civilian lives.  

In that CNN interview, Mr. Biden also indicated that he'd make sure Israel would continue to receive defensive weapons like the Iron Dome system, but indicated that he might withhold other offensive weapons and artillery shells if the IDF went through with an assault on what he referred to as "population centers" in Rafah.

Following Mr. Biden's remarks, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said in a statement, "If Israel has to stand alone, we will stand alone." Israel's war cabinet voted unanimously on Thursday evening to expand operations in Rafah, according to Israeli media. 

Mr. Biden issued the NSM-20 in February, following pressure from Democratic lawmakers, including Van Hollen, who called for more stringent enforcement mechanisms to ensure recipients of U.S. military assistance were complying with international law. This coincided with President Biden's request to Congress to approve emergency security supplemental funding to Israel, which ultimately signed off on $26 billion in funding last month on top of the annual $3 billion in annual military aid Israel receives.

Nearly 35,000 Palestinian civilians, most of them women and children, have been killed since the start of Israel's military campaign began in Gaza, according to local health authorities. Israeli forces went in after more than a thousand Hamas militants stormed over Israel's southern border, killed more than 1,200 Israelis and took more than 240 hostages. 

Dozens of Democratic lawmakers have already accused Israel of violating U.S. law under the Foreign Assistance Act and are pushing the administration to impose penalties. Multiple human rights organizations and an independent task force have also said Israel has shown a "clear pattern" of violations of international law and restricting humanitarian assistance. 

The State Department has active investigations into Israel's conduct under other internal accountability mechanisms, including Civilian Harm Incident Response Guidance (CHIRG), which was established in August 2023. Miller, the department spokesman, in February confirmed incidents in Gaza in which civilians may have been harmed by American weapons  were under review. 

Friday's report states that "85 alleged incidents of civilian harm involving Israeli military operations in Gaza have been submitted to the CHIRG for evaluation, and approximately 40 percent of those cases have been closed." 

The Department has separate processes for making determinations on whether atrocities, including genocide, have been committed in a conflict. 

Blinken has also for months been weighing the potential suspension of military aid under a federal measure known as the Leahy Law to one IDF unit determined to have committed gross violations of human rights in the West Bank, before the Oct. 7 attacks. The department has been weighing "new information" about the unit submitted by the Israeli government last month, officials have said.

Changing IP addresses in Safari

I have recently moved and am switching from Earthlink DSL to Suddenlink and want to know how to change this on Safari. Also, how does one transfer an old address book to new provider ? Help will be greatly appreciated.

The IP address is set by your ISP, and usually nothing you can do to change it unless requiring the ISP, if they let you.

Internal IP addresses (those coming from your router) require it to be set to DHCP or manually assigning a different address, which you can do in the System Preferences > Network

With regards to the address book, do you mean the Contacts? If they were in iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID.

2024 cicada map: See where Brood XIX, XIII cicadas are emerging around the US

Like it or not, the cicada invasion is in full force.

Trillions of periodical cicadas part of Brood XIX and Brood XIII are emerging this year in multiple states, part of a rare, double-brood event. These 13- or 17-year cicadas have been waiting for the right soil conditions to come above ground, where they will eat, mate and die , with the newly-hatched nymphs burrowing underground to start the whole cycle over again.

The two broods, which are emerging in 17 states across the Southeast and Midwest, have not emerged at the same time since 1803, and won't do so again until 2245. While the two broods likely won't have any overlap due to being in different states, they are both emerging in parts of Illinois and Iowa.

Ready to see (and hear) the cicadas this year? Here's where you can expect to find them.

Can you eat cicadas? Try these tasty recipes with Brood XIX, Brood XIII this summer

2024 cicada map: Check out where Broods XIII, XIX are projected to emerge

The two cicada broods are projected to emerge in a combined 17 states across the South and Midwest. They emerge once the soil eight inches underground reaches 64 degrees, expected to begin in many states in May and lasting through late June.

The two broods  last emerged together in 1803 , when Thomas Jefferson was president.

Where are the cicadas already out in 2024?

Adult periodical cicadas from Brood XIX have been spotted by users in multiple states across the Southeast and Midwest, including in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, according to  Cicada Safari , a cicada tracking app developed by Mount St. Joseph University in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Brood XIII has started to emerge near Peoria, Illinois, according to the app.

What is a brood?

According to the  University of Connecticut , broods are classified as "all periodical cicadas of the same life cycle type that emerge in a given year."

A brood of cicadas is made up of different species of the insect that have separate evolutionary histories. These species may have joined the brood at different times or from different sources. These different species are lumped together under the brood because they are in the same region and emerge on a common schedule.

Why do cicadas make so much noise?

You'll have to thank the male cicadas for all that screeching. Male cicadas synchronize their calls and produce congregational songs, according to  Britannica , which establish territory and attract females. There is also a courting call that they make before mating.

The periodical 13-year and 17-year brood cicadas  are the loudest , partially because of the sheer number of them that emerge at once.

Apple says privacy is a ‘core value.’ Tim Cook shouldn’t compromise it to bridge the gap on AI

For years, Apple has positioned itself as a champion of consumer privacy, setting itself apart from its tech industry peers Google and Facebook and their ad-based business models that rely on siphoning up as much user data as possible.

“Privacy is a fundamental human right,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said last year, repeating a mantra he has made a central part of Apple’s marketing strategy. 

But Apple’s privacy reputation is starting to show some major cracks—due to mounting revelations about its lucrative relationship with Google, which has been called “ the pioneer of surveillance capitalism .”

The U.S. government’s antitrust lawsuit against Google has produced some eye-popping numbers. According to recently unsealed court documents from the trial, Google paid Apple $20 billion in 2022 to make Google the default search engine on its Safari web browser. That’s up from a reported $18 billion payment in 2021. A Google witness at the trial testified that Google pays Apple 36% of the revenue it earns from search ads on Safari.

The details of these transactions, which both companies had taken pains to keep secret, do much to undermine Apple’s rhetoric about being a defender of user privacy. They lay bare how Apple, a company that calls privacy a “ core value ,” has been profiting handsomely from Google, known for its voracious collection of personal data. (Google says it does its best to protect user data.)

Far from seeking to distance itself from Google in the wake of these revelations, Apple appears to be open to expanding the relationship. According to Bloomberg News , Apple has held negotiations to use Google’s Gemini generative AI tools to power new features on the iPhone. The latest reports indicate Apple may be close to a deal with OpenAI but is still talking with Google. Apple is lagging behind other tech industry players in developing generative AI, and such a deal would be a quick way for the company to leapfrog ahead with the technology.

However, an AI partnership with Google would raise yet more questions about Apple’s commitment to privacy. A recent investigation by the New York Times revealed that Google quietly revised its privacy policy last year in an apparent effort to expand the amount of user data available to train its generative AI models—and released the new language on the July 4 weekend to minimize scrutiny of the changes. By tapping into Google’s Gemini for the iPhone, Apple would be associating itself with these tactics.

Whomever Apple ends up partnering with on AI, the company must be transparent with its users about where their data will go and how it will be used. Apple forged its privacy reputation in 2016 during its high-profile standoff with the FBI over an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino mass shooters. Apple famously refused the FBI’s request to unlock the device, warning it would create a “ master key ” that would break encryption and put the privacy and security of millions of Americans at risk. Cook called the case a “ civil liberties ” issue, putting privacy at the forefront of Apple’s corporate brand.

In the years since, Apple has taken important steps to protect privacy, including features that require apps to get explicit permission from users to track their behavior and allow users to turn on end-to-end encryption for their messages and other data stored in Apple’s iCloud. But Apple’s deep entanglement with Google casts a large and growing shadow over the company’s claims to be a privacy savior.

The fact that Apple is financially benefitting—to the tune of billions of dollars—from Google’s privacy-invasive search engine makes Apple marketing slogans like “What happens on your iPhone, stays on your iPhone” ring hollow. It also adds a distinct odor of hypocrisy to Cook’s frequent jabs at tech industry rivals over their data-hungry ways. At one 2015 event, where the Apple CEO was feted as a “Champion of Freedom” by a privacy advocacy group, Cook took aim at companies that are “gobbling up everything they can learn about you and trying to monetize it,” adding that “it’s not the kind of company that Apple wants to be.”

Apple’s defense of the Google search deal basically boils down to: It’s not perfect, but there’s no other option. Testifying at the Google antitrust trial, Apple executive Eddy Cue, who negotiated the latest version of the search deal, said there “ wasn’t a valid alternative ” to Google. In a 2018 interview, Cook said Google’s search engine is “ the best ” and talked up Apple’s privacy settings for web browsing.

These comments suggest that Apple had no choice but to partner with Google. However, it is important to note that Apple’s relationship with Google goes beyond the search deal. Tech publication The Information reported in 2021 that Apple was the largest corporate client of Google’s cloud storage service. According to the report, Apple “dramatically increased” the amount of user data it stored in Google’s cloud that year and was poised to boost its spending on the service by 50%. The latest reports about Apple’s negotiations with Google over a potential AI deal suggest that Apple is willing to take the partnership even further. Apple’s customers deserve to know more about how the company’s dealings with Google affect the privacy of their data, particularly in light of Apple’s heavy marketing of itself as a privacy-minded corporation. It is clear that regulators are no longer taking Apple’s privacy promises at face value. The Justice Department’s antitrust lawsuit against Apple, filed in March, observes that Apple “selectively compromises privacy and security interests when doing so is in Apple’s own financial interest,” giving the Apple-Google search deal as a prime example.

Change the hostname of your AL2 instance

When you launch an instance into a private VPC, Amazon EC2 assigns a guest OS hostname. The type of hostname that Amazon EC2 assigns depends on your subnet settings. For more information about EC2 hostnames, see Amazon EC2 instance hostname types in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances .

A typical Amazon EC2 private DNS name for an EC2 instance configured to use IP-based naming with an IPv4 address looks something like this: ip-12-34-56-78.us-west-2.compute.internal , where the name consists of the internal domain, the service (in this case, compute ), the region, and a form of the private IPv4 address. Part of this hostname is displayed at the shell prompt when you log into your instance (for example, ip-12-34-56-78 ). Each time you stop and restart your Amazon EC2 instance (unless you are using an Elastic IP address), the public IPv4 address changes, and so does your public DNS name, system hostname, and shell prompt.

This information applies to Amazon Linux. For information about other distributions, see their specific documentation.

Change the system hostname

If you have a public DNS name registered for the IP address of your instance (such as webserver.mydomain.com ), you can set the system hostname so your instance identifies itself as a part of that domain. This also changes the shell prompt so that it displays the first portion of this name instead of the hostname supplied by AWS (for example, ip-12-34-56-78 ). If you do not have a public DNS name registered, you can still change the hostname, but the process is a little different.

In order for your hostname update to persist, you must verify that the preserve_hostname cloud-init setting is set to true . You can run the following command to edit or add this setting:

If the preserve_hostname setting is not listed, add the following line of text to the end of the file:

To change the system hostname to a public DNS name

Follow this procedure if you already have a public DNS name registered.

For AL2: Use the hostnamectl command to set your hostname to reflect the fully qualified domain name (such as webserver.mydomain.com ).

For Amazon Linux AMI: On your instance, open the /etc/sysconfig/network configuration file in your favorite text editor and change the HOSTNAME entry to reflect the fully qualified domain name (such as webserver.mydomain.com ).

Reboot the instance to pick up the new hostname.

Alternatively, you can reboot using the Amazon EC2 console (on the Instances page, select the instance and choose Instance state , Reboot instance ).

Log into your instance and verify that the hostname has been updated. Your prompt should show the new hostname (up to the first ".") and the hostname command should show the fully-qualified domain name.

To change the system hostname without a public DNS name

For AL2: Use the hostnamectl command to set your hostname to reflect the desired system hostname (such as webserver ).

For Amazon Linux AMI: On your instance, open the /etc/sysconfig/network configuration file in your favorite text editor and change the HOSTNAME entry to reflect the desired system hostname (such as webserver ).

Open the /etc/hosts file in your favorite text editor and change the entry beginning with 127.0.0.1 to match the example below, substituting your own hostname.

You can also implement more programmatic solutions, such as specifying user data to configure your instance. If your instance is part of an Auto Scaling group, you can use lifecycle hooks to define user data. For more information, see Run commands on your Linux instance at launch and Lifecycle hook for instance launch in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide .

Change the shell prompt without affecting the hostname

If you do not want to modify the hostname for your instance, but you would like to have a more useful system name (such as webserver ) displayed than the private name supplied by AWS (for example, ip-12-34-56-78 ), you can edit the shell prompt configuration files to display your system nickname instead of the hostname.

To change the shell prompt to a host nickname

Create a file in /etc/profile.d that sets the environment variable called NICKNAME to the value you want in the shell prompt. For example, to set the system nickname to webserver , run the following command.

Open the /etc/bashrc (Red Hat) or /etc/bash.bashrc (Debian/Ubuntu) file in your favorite text editor (such as vim or nano ). You need to use sudo with the editor command because /etc/bashrc and /etc/bash.bashrc are owned by root .

Edit the file and change the shell prompt variable ( PS1 ) to display your nickname instead of the hostname. Find the following line that sets the shell prompt in /etc/bashrc or /etc/bash.bashrc (several surrounding lines are shown below for context; look for the line that starts with [ "$PS1" ):

Change the \h (the symbol for hostname ) in that line to the value of the NICKNAME variable.

(Optional) To set the title on shell windows to the new nickname, complete the following steps.

Create a file named /etc/sysconfig/bash-prompt-xterm .

Make the file executable using the following command.

Open the /etc/sysconfig/bash-prompt-xterm file in your favorite text editor (such as vim or nano ). You need to use sudo with the editor command because /etc/sysconfig/bash-prompt-xterm is owned by root .

Add the following line to the file.

Log out and then log back in to pick up the new nickname value.
