Those limits are dynamic based on connections / how many white shoe lawyers you are willing to fund. An established real estate family will have plenty of room to shuffle assets and credit lines around in a favorable way within those l

VHS and Betamax was maybe influenced by the adult industry (although sports seems to have mattered as well) Parroting the same about HD/Blu-ray is kind of hilarious though. Porn was deep into the streaming game long before blu-ray hit

Alternately, Apple could make a keyboard that doesn't trivially break. Then they wouldn't be under class action pressure to repair and replace them. To whatever extent it's possible for an end user to "trigger" a f

How is this a scam? They made a defective product that is intentionally difficult to service. If Apple is the one being most affected by their own poor design decisions their finances surely don't show it.

That's not a bug, it's a feature! The server can "seamlessly" (surreptitiously) re-install the app when hitting one of their "join room" links. At least some of the reason for putting it there in the first plac

Most corporate bounty programs are going to include an NDA and following their release schedule. No corporate legal department is going to sign off on a bounty program that would both pay third parties for bugs and allow outside researcher

These would make poor imaging satellites you are correct, but what could possibly be more valuable intelligence than a global scale firehose of data. Just the metadata of packet routing across the constellation would have huge value to inte

I agree in a big way here, I have no particular speciality with autonomous driving but I have seen enough media coverage of Musk both snubbing Lidar based systems and then Tesla auto-pilot hitting overhanging rear loads, which a lidar would

Seems like such easy ground for 4th amendment creep, I'm surprised it hasn't been tried yet. Get all the big companies using it, then before you know it REITs and management companies will start using it for multi-tenant residence

Do you have any links on how the batteries are more than complex than a bundle of li-ion cells? Is the complexity in the systems to monitor voltage, temp, resistance and such of each cell and distribute load or outright fuse off weakened ce

It's not like USPS doesn't screen the mail, they obviously have far less ability to test things without a warrant (not a problem for the end recipient company) but it should concern everyone if (and a big if!) it's true that

Almost everyone's complaints are resolved by changing lightning ports to USB-C. Obviously it will take time for that change to make it into the next hardware refresh of the mouse/keyboard/trackpad but it should have been on

I'll plug another one: https://www.haptictouchbar.com/ This uses the trackpad haptic engine to (poorly) emulate a key click when pressing touchbar items. I'm unsure how they overlooked putting a haptic engine in t

That's insane. A 3d matrix of ferrite rings suspended by wire would seem (to me) somewhat sensitive to vibrations or gforces. Military gonna military I guess.

I prefer security focused organizations attempted to deploy their limited resources more effectively. Well trained and security conscious end users are very hard to attack.

This is about nation state adversaries. There should be no illusions that they laugh at people who think they are safe behind air gaps and routinely cross them. Often both infiltrating and exfiltrating data.

I have a 2017 15" and my girlfriend has a 2016 13", we both do technical work with these machines as our primary work devices. Neither of us have any issues with the keyboard other than the clearly above average failure rates and

This would be excellent. I'm hesitant about the prospect of an ARM based macbook, but having both seems mighty compelling. As a lower power application CPU for light usage, or a full x86 with accelerators / co-processors when need

Basically the same stuff for me-- ESP8266 reading a humidity sensor and flipping a 115v outlet controller on or off for the dehumidifier in my basement. The built in humidity sensor is either hilariously inaccurate or is reading dryer than
