I would not spend a dime on this, to be honest I'm impressed Stadia isn't shelved yet, but just give it time.

So there wouldn't be anything specific for embedded, you can apply the same testing practice as other systems where you ensure you abstract out the functions in such a way that the logic can be tested. The complexity about embedded sta

Thank you :) I just reread it, I should do a bit of grammar linting in the future.

Just as a preamble, I listen to his podcast and have for years, so I'm probably biased to some degree. I agree with your first points around SQRL, it's an interesting concept but in the long run the industry has solved the problem

Nice quote out of context there. If you read on further it does explain how SQRL can mitigate this: - Because the request from the SQRL client will not match the request from the phishing site the original website will be able to see that a

It is complicated for sure and I think one of the problems is currently the clients for SQRL are pretty bad (I've tried them all, maybe I'm just picky) However it's very questionable regarding the per device security. Keep in

Please do explain how it's phishable? I've found this doc on the subject https://www.grc.com/sqrl/phishing.htm

So they are supporting three generations of android version, so if a phone comes out on 8, that means it will receive major upgrades to 10, so that's 3 years there and then Google seem to support 3 more years of security of 10 after it

by botto 6y ago
Depends on which upgrades you are concerned about. I agree that having new os versions supported for longer than 3-4 years would be good, but at least it looks like they will be supporting security updates for longer now, 6 years of securit

I've unplugged mine too but saying it's spying is mincing words a bit. I highly doubt they care what individuals say in their home but probably care a lot more about what your demographic talks about, watches on TV, listens to on

I'm sorry to hear that as someone who has done this role in the past I can tell you that it's the opposite of what a platform team should be doing. When done right a platform team should basically not be noticed except that the to

You can audit the client either through source code or through very painful binary analysis.

The whitepaper is fine, it's the comments from Alex Stemos that make me think they are abusing the term. https://twitter.com/alexstamos/status/1268061792527241216 He did not say they can't monitor calls.

You should copyright and license it to Zoom

This is true, but they are going to help law enforcement with calls that have bad content in them, the only way this can happen is if they have the ability to decrypt the streams or enter calls silently and get the keys. Edit: Sorry for com

Yes, if the keys are held in servers that they have access to then they would be able to decrypt the traffic and see what is happening. The whole point of e2e encryption is that only the 2 parties have the keys, Zoom are abusing this term a

I'm quite frustrated they are calling this end to end. I can't find it now but a tweet earlier indicated that they have the keys and can help law enforcement with investigations which means it's can't be end to end.

I don't think AWS are involved in the satellites themselves, they are simply making access to ground station equipment available over the net.

So you say you set the voltage and current requirements once in the software, but looking at the data sheet it can be reprogrammed? Do you mean you set it and it works between power cycles? Otherwise you have to be careful and set the value
