Interesting, I can't find any such requirement online about OnePlus devices, but I did come across this mentioning that a law passed in California forced Google to do this on some devices: https://android.gadgethacks.com&#x2

That achieves nothing against someone who uses something like apktool/baksmali to do static RE, let alone inject something like Frida to perform dynamic RE. There are even Xposed modules designed to just bypass certificate pinning. Cer

Unless an API you're looking at requires/supports attestation via SafetyNet or you're willing to proxy via your own server this is likely not an option. Additionally, while it's true (to my knowledge) that re-implementin

From what I've seen of Tesla's solution at least - even busy city centers and complex parking lots are very difficulty for present day autonomous driving technologies. The understanding level necessary just isn't there. These

You can try, but you won't succeed against a dedicated reverse engineer, simply dropping a hook in on the API calls would be enough to grab the decrypted key in a case like that, if not simply statically reading the encryption keys and

I prefer to just steal keys by reverse engineering mobile apps. So easy to get keys for just about anything and charge someone else for it that way.

They can't set a cookie? Associate my phone with my desktop by IP address correlation on home ISPs? C'mon, they oughta be more capable than that.

Personally I refuse to buy any device that requires me to go crying to the manufacturer for an unlock key. Google and OnePlus devices can be unlocked locally with no need to contact anyone and beg, so no one can refuse your unlock on a devi

It's clear that the more traditional "Linux" operating systems on the PinePhone/Librem are just not mature, but what about a PinePhone/Librem loaded with stock AOSP and F-Droid, no GApps. Lots of stuff just won&#x27

Indeed, if they're proposing to only decrypt select images the client needs to know pass/fail at some point. Whether that's before or after sending the hashes to Apple's server really doesn't matter as bulk checks w

by arsome 5y ago
The client has to be able to check for them in some way - just run that algorithm against every image you can scrape from Tor/Freenet and I suspect you'll have results rather quickly. Or you can probably just wait a minute and pay

The even worse part here is that not only could it impact an image of a beautiful sunset, which would fail the human check, it could impact a low quality version of legal porn, which could easily pass the human check and get passed on to la

Apple's client clearly has some revealing information on that...

by arsome 5y ago
Note that they're not pushing it to devices that consumers have purchased, just running it on their cloud services. I think it's an important distinction here with what Apple is doing.

Acesulfame potassium (an artificial sweetener commonly known as Ace-K) which passes through in urine has also been used to determine the concentration of urine in pool water.

A little white balance work would go a long way I suspect. An OLED panel would really make things pop, but the burn-in issue might be a problem unless you had it rotating very regularly.

To be fair, log_2(1 trillion) is only about 40 bits.

I hear this one might be 6G compatible. Personally I'm just hoping for Bluetooth LE support.

Yeah, I remember Arch breaking systems completely back when they moved the entire /bin and /lib, setting python3 as the default python, etc. Took hours of fucking around to fix. I'm a tinkerer typically, but it seemed like th

It made headlines not long ago when Just-Eat I believe was advertising on porn sites, so it's not an impossible ask... but marketers will want to play those campaigns very carefully. It wouldn't take much to accidentally end up ne

Seems like a really... weird preference for a kernel on your phone. A UI, sure, I could understand that, but a kernel?

by arsome 5y ago
Of course! I'm not suggesting it's a solution for everyone at all. Just realize that Grandma will never have privacy like that. Corporations and governments combine to basically make privacy a niche thing for tinkerers only, you s

by arsome 5y ago
I have to disagree - privacy requires openness. Indeed, "just get an Android phone" from Google, OnePlus and several other major manufacturers is a viable solution - they allow you full control over the device without their permis

mosh isn't an alternative shell, it's sort of like "rsh" or "ssh" except designed for mobile... and using SSH for authentication and session setup.

A bit of a shame, there were definitely a fair number of users on there who were pushing misinformation and such, but it was also a break from the attitude you see across most of reddit - that politicians can just never be doing enough and

I don't think it's reasonable to expect people to be doing productive things 24x7. You're going to want a break at some point.

Yeah, no kidding with that reddit one, every time I go there I feel like everyone is just in constant fear or anger, especially going to subreddits for my city/state. I've near completely stopped using it due to this. Now I just s

Depends how leveraged you are - personally with that level I'd be able to pass that on to my kids if needed. One of us is printing free money at least.
