Not that surprising. For humans, unlike for computers, adding and subtracting are different concepts. Think about how most people would transform "-3 + 7" into "7 - 3" and only then compute, because it's easier to &

Making AirTags safe is fundamentally impossible, a bit like trying to make a knife impossible to hurt yourself with. For example: > deliberate disabling of the speaker rendered the device useless after a few days That only kicks the ca

Being small means you can integrate it in the CPU die. This is very important for SecureBoot/DRM kind of things, because it means you can't easily manipulate the secure processor entropy. I know HN doesn't like SecureBoot or
