It's not novel, it's been used since some of the very first mining ASICS. The reason you don't see it anywhere else is that the matching needs to be very good, down to giving chips busy work if they are idle otherwise you get

Lots of articles you see like about things like that aren't really correct, though I can't speak specifically for the NFC one. For a while there were people campaigning to have the FM radio that was secretly embedded in all iPhone

Sharp Memory LCDs are close. They are active, but so close to being zero power you could keep them running with a stern glare. They have absurd contrast, can be updated at tens of hertz or faster, and are high resolution. They’re never made

Former Intel engineers made 3 generations of mining ASICs in their fab, under the name 21.co. The first generation was alright, the second generation was middling, and the third one was some absurd DRM chip which mined, but enforced mining

The last attempt at this by Intel engineers is sitting on my desk somewhere, it was a DRM laden chip that completely bombed, there's pretty likely pallets of them in a warehouse somewhere.

It should probably be loudly default-disabled or outright removed, that's a very, very unexpected feature. It's an unprecedented tool for moving laterally and gaining gigantic amount of access within internal systems. Nobody could

That sounds like bad toupee fallacy. You don't know what the situation would be like if they were doing nothing.

The plastic case almost certainly contains more energy than the battery.

They're made of thermoplastic, practically everything plastic burns except for the few things around which are regulated to be impregnated with fire retardants (children's clothes, furniture, etc). Unless what you're holding

As far as I know there's nothing abnormally noxious about the electrolyte in LiPo cells, the parts of it which you wouldn't come into contact with are in small quantities especially in the sizes of cell that you'd find in a c

Lithium metal is probably what you're thinking of as being very reactive, however there is no lithium metal whatsoever in a LiPo battery.

They lasted a couple of years before selling out, which is unfortunately not that impressive.

We can look at the interface for MobileCoin in Signal to get an idea of how bad this is. We're prompted to "add funds" by sending MobileCoin, and the "learn more" button leads to an article telling you to buy a &quo

Payments in yet another currency is not useful. Apple letting you send payments in iMessage makes sense, MobileCoin in signal absolutely does not. What do you do with them once you have MobileCoins? You have to exchange them, potentially at

There's nothing to reconsider, MobileCoin/Signal is still a terrible idea and was responsible for them withholding their open source code, for a year, with absolutely no explanation at the time or in retrospective. It's nothi

Yeah, we were doing that, so the response was to just shrug. Without a lot more context it's hard to know what your reaction should be to something like that.

Yeah, I loved having my work gmail account peppered with a giant red banner warmomg "THIS ACCOUNT IS THE TARGET OF STATE SPONSORED HACKERS". That was fun. We didn't really know how to respond or attempt to mitigate such a war
