If you start an SMS (MMS?) group chat with >10 people, any AT&T customers (and possibly others—I'm not sure) attempting to reply will end up replying to 10 arbitrary members, leading to a huge pile of separate chats, each missi

How do you get those zeroes and ones into a machine-readable format, without a trusted text editor or OS?

I think some jurisdictions have laws requiring that, probably as an anti-gambling thing.

IIRC, most radio stations get their EMS broadcasts by listening to another station. So if you can spoof the right one…

If there's a monitor, you don't need to trust the first keyboard—just display a message with "type this [random] code to allow this keyboard."

Servo uses an existing JS interpreter (SpiderMonkey, the one used in Firefox) but does implement all of the Web APIs itself.

My understanding is that putting SIWA first is in their Human Interface Guidelines, which (nominally) are not mandatory. Some apps have been rejected for HIG violations, however, so maybe they'd enforce that (but I doubt it). Plenty

I imagine you could get pretty far with sandboxing+chroot, but it wouldn’t be docker. You’d definitely be able to prevent stuff in the container from getting out, but I’m not so sure you could reproduce docker’s “VM-like” (I.e. the inside o

I think you’re overthinking this. The vast majority of Ruby/Python programmers have been installing their own copies themselves, because Apple was pretty slow in updating them (Ruby is usually a few minor releases behind, Python is sti

The article mentions that the update includes mitigations in Safari, with no performance cost. Other browsers will have to do their own thing, of course.

Doesn’t seem like a backdoor AFIACT—just support for handling a request from the government. (Distinction being that the ISP manually tells their equipment to intercept data instead of the government having technical access.)

It intrigues me that (per the screenshot in the post) slack appears to bundle uncompiled TS source in their app. You'd think that they'd just have a single JS bundle so their code wasn't so easy to reverse engineer.

I don’t think that’s what’s going on. I think it’s like this: GP’s email address is john.doe@gmail.com Lots of people are named John Doe, and some of them think their email address is john.doe@gmail.com When those people buy something onl

I haven’t tested this, but I believe you could use Homebridge to create a virtual “button” that got “pushed” when you hit some API endpoint, then configure HomeKit to change something when the button gets pressed.
