Careful with the USB-C on the Switch as its current implementation is not compliant. (Still agree its adoption is on the rise). https://plus.google.com/102612254593917101378/posts/2CUPZ5yV... https://ne

Not Trinitron (Edit: Yes it is), but I had a pair of Sony FW900 Monitors. I got them free off of craigslist in 2010 when my laptop screen broke, I didn't have an external monitor and I was unemployed. Those things are beasts. A little

On the hardware side, there is a project "Free Calypso" to produce a completely libre (software, firmware, baseband, & hardware) "dumbphone" using the Calypso chipset. Initially looking to reuse old phones with the C

The FreeCalypso Project is working on a libre phone. Looks like they're using a baseband processor from a TI Chipset. https://www.freecalypso.org/

Looks like that bug was reported for Chrome 37, which is the last version of Chrome to rely on the underlying OS for validating SHA-2 Certificates. Chrome 38+ should be able to validate the cert. "Chrome is capable of supporting SHA-2

There is also https://www.freecalypso.org/ which aims to produce libre firmware for the TI Calypso baseband chipset. Their mailing list is fairly active.

I'm actually not sure, recently joined the mailing list and have been passively monitoring. Would it make a difference if the chipset being used was already used for a cellphone that was FCC certified? If I put DD-WRT on my router, do

The FreeCalypso project is working on free baseband firmware with an older TI Chipset. If I recall from their mailing list, which is fairly active, they have voice calls working now. It will of course not be a smartphone, and it'll be

In the case of SSL certificates, the SHA-1 or SHA-256 hash algorithm is being used to verify the integrity of the certificate. It assures that the information in the "To be signed" certificate sequence (e.g. domain name, organizat

It isn't foolproof, user installed Root CAs or roots installed by 3rd party applications are given permission to override pins. So HPKP wouldn't protect against scenarios like Superfish. https://www.imperialviolet.org&#

Well, you can't just order an EV cert for "Citi Bank" unless you have "Citi Bank" registered as a legal entity. Section 9.2.1 (Page 9): https://cabforum.org/wp-content/uploads/EV-V1_5_7.pdf

Not sure if they'll amend their certificate policy or not. My guess is because their process is automated, they want to confine their certificate issuance to specific domains/sub-domains and not wildcards. It mitigates some reperc

I found that odd as well. He mentioned using the AGPL for MediaGoblin at LibrePlanet a couple years ago. Not sure why no mention now.

Regarding the war on terror and foreign policy in general: Bush-era policy was actually a 180 from what he campaigned on in 2000. Bush campaigned on a non-interventionist foreign policy while Al Gore pushed for "Nation Building".

That's a fair distinction. I guess it's more that you cannot activate HBO Go on a Roku using your Comcast credentials as Comcast is not an option in that configuration. Not that they block the traffic or something. I agree with th

I suppose the CA's didn't jump on issuing SHA2 certs the same day as the as the Baseline update or the MS announcement, but they don't seem to be standing still. GlobalSign, the first one on your list for example, has limited
