That's not clear. If they designed it well, the photo comes off the sensor into the equivalent of Apple's Secure Enclave, gets signed, then the data reaches the level where jailbreaks could touch it. It would be profoundly stupid

Did you read the article? The article says there might be a flaw, and it would be a huge deal. It does not state those phones are broken. It does not extract keys, which would be needed in the case of Sony cameras to sign fake pictures. Her

Are iphones cracked? There's a ton of unclaimed money available to anyone that can open them. Ever look at the list of uncracked videogames and how long the top ones have lasted?

Have all iphones been broken by state actors? It sure seems not given the resources they pay yo try and crack cases. Why would sony cameras not leverage knowledge gained from iphone security features?

It would be extremely hard for almost anyone to do so, and they can use signatures with per camera tokens as well as global ones. That way compromising one camera doesn't compromise all. And there is a lot more stuff they can do to pre

I looked at some of those. I find plenty of cases where someone had a broken meter, was undercharged, then was charged to catch up. The electric company allows them to pay over time if needed in all cases. I looked through New Orleans rates

Do you have a source other than hearsay about the doubling? I find nothing in their rates (or rates published by watchdogs) that indicates a double payment. I only see places like Fox News style "some people have claimed..." stori

Well, in this case they're not just inventing nonsense to fix one little thing. There are a lot of various pieces of evidence, all pointing to this fix. If you want to patch up a lot of little pieces of evidence, each with it's ow

That's an 18% increase year over year, not a 100% increase. I've yet to find anyone with bills doubled, despite so many people claiming it true. But I keep asking.... More data: https://www.gulfshorebusiness.com/ex

The percentages you listed are not equally weighted; they're weighted by what average consumers spend. People spend vastly more per month on housing and food than they do on gasoline. So the conclusion that gasoline was the biggest fac

Particle physics has a pretty good track record of inventing undetected particles to solve missing item problems, then finding that particle later. I'd guess we're up to hundreds of such particles like this so far, with really big

The problem with using one word, "recall", for a massive range of issues, is that people mistake really small issues to be more in the middle of the range. In this case the issue is tiny, the fix is tiny. It's not like a reca

Gas is not up 100%. Overall food cost for the average consumer is not up 50%. These are easily looked up. Fortunately we have a metric that measures what people actually spend on goods, called inflation, which is under 10%.
