You'd need WhatsApp's collaboration for this, which I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that the bridge operator doesn't have. There are two encrypted channels: client<->bridge, and bridge<->WhatsApp. T

Yes, but this simply means that header values are not (Go) strings, they're byte arrays. Many languages represent them this way, with a (fallible) function to get the string value iff the byte array contains valid UTF-8. The whole &quo

This simply cannot be true, since you have to decrypt the messages to send them to, for example, WhatsApp.

They actually still do this in Hong Kong, but not much, and it's unheard-of elsewhere due to the size of the cranes needed, most ships not having their own cranes, and safety concerns.

I would hate to see Signal replace the elegant, carefully designed protocol they use with the bloated, carelessly designed, "IM-over-HTTP" mess that is Matrix.

Yes, but there’s nothing akin to the GIL in Rust/Tokio, so the potential impact of blocking is lower, and you can use spawn_blocking to move any blocking code (that you cannot eliminate) off the main worker threads that are polling fu

Of course there's a good reason. BTC is much, much easier for the Indonesian person on one side of the contract to purchase with their local currency, and much, much easier for the Russian person on the other side of the contract to li

Sure, if "computer" to you means "laptop or desktop PC". My smartphone is a computer, which I use at home and work, and it sure as hell doesn't run Windows. Smartphones are a far more significant type of computer in

Which are nowhere near the most common type of computer, so it's a fairly significant change.

Do you mean TCAS? That would be modulated, which this is not, and would not drift in the way this signal does.

My blender has a base which is attached to the wall, and a removable part where the stuff you're blending goes. What advantage would it bring me if I could move the base? It also has a 1200W motor or something similar. The batteries re

How do you verify this?

Releasing documentation makes them de facto public APIs. People will code against them anyway, apps will break when Apple changes the not-really-private APIs, and Apple will get blamed.

“No activity logs” is impossible to verify, and “hides your device’s activity” is basically untrue unless you do some gymnastics with the definitions of words.

Trusting a VPN provider is an entirely different thing than trusting AWS et al though. VPN providers are far more likely than AWS to do the kind of shady things that might matter to your relatives, like selling their personal data.

It is triggering retransmission. It just retransmits until it gets lucky with the (pretty weak) TCP checksum.

Yeah, certain drugs are heavily prohibited, often with very serious penalties. OTOH, you can walk into a pharmacy and buy basically anything else without a prescription.
