Owayeyisisebenzi wayeputshuza imininingwane kwa-Apple. Ubhekene neminyaka engu-10 ejele kanye nenhlawulo yesine yesigidi

I-Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) ivulele owayeyisisebenzi sakwa-Apple icala lokweba izimfihlo zezohwebo. Lapho ejoyina, u-Xiaolang Zhang kwadingeka asayine isivumelwano sempahla yengqondo futhi ahambele ukuqeqeshwa okuyimfihlo kwezohwebo. Nokho, wephule lesi sivumelwano ngokweba imininingwane eyimfihlo. Futhi u-Apple uzithatha ngokungathi sína lezi zinto.

Unjiniyela waseShayina waqashwa yi-Apple ngoDisemba 2015 ukuthi asebenze ku-Project Titan, eyayigxile kakhulu ekuthuthukiseni i-hardware nesofthiwe yezimoto ezizimele. Ngemva kokuzalwa kwengane yakhe, uZhang waya ekhefini lokuyobeletha futhi waya eChina isikhathi esithile. Ngemva nje kokubuyela e-United States, watshela umqashi wakhe ukuthi ufuna ukwesula. Ubesezoqala ukusebenzela inkampani yezimoto yaseChina iXiaopeng Motor, nayo egxile ekuthuthukisweni kwezinhlelo ezizimele. Nokho, wayengazi ukuthi yini eyayimlindele.

Umphathi wakhe waba nomuzwa wokuthi ubegwema emhlanganweni odlule ngakho wayesenokusola. U-Apple wayengazi ekuqaleni, kodwa ngemva kokuvakasha kwakhe kokugcina, baqala ukubheka imisebenzi yakhe yenethiwekhi kanye nemikhiqizo ye-Apple ayevame ukuyisebenzisa. Ngaphezu kwemishini yakhe yangaphambili, baphinde babheka amakhamera okuphepha futhi abazange bamangale. Esithombeni, uZhang ubonakale ezulazula ekhampasi, engena kumalebhu ezimoto ezizimele ze-Apple futhi ehamba nebhokisi eligcwele izinto zehardware. Isikhathi sokuvakasha kwakhe siqondane nezikhathi zamafayela alandiwe.

Owayengunjiniyela wakwa-Apple uvumile ku-FBI ukuthi wadawuniloda amafayela ayimfihlo angaphakathi kukhompuyutha ephathekayo yomkakhe ukuze akwazi ukuwafinyelela njalo. Ngokusho kwabaphenyi, okungenani u-60% wedatha edlulisiwe yayibucayi. UZhang waboshwa ngoJulayi 7 ngesikhathi ezama ukubalekela eChina. Manje ubhekene neminyaka eyishumi ejele kanye nenhlawulo engu-$250.000.

Ngokombono, i-Xmotor ibingase izuze kule datha eyebiwe, yingakho u-Zhang akhokhiswa. Umkhulumeli wenkampani uTom Neumayr uthe i-Apple ibheka ubumfihlo nokuvikelwa kwempahla yengqondo njengento ebaluleke kakhulu. Manje basebenzisana neziphathimandla kuleli cala futhi benza konke abangakwenza ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi u-Zhang nabanye abantu abahililekile banecala ngezenzo zabo.
