Yes, indexing into arrays in C (well, really, de-referencing pointers) in ways that are out of bounds will in the best case result in a fault which results in a BUG() invocation in Linux. Panicing on invalid slice indexing is a non-issue.

This assertion ignores that apple makes a profit off the 30% cut. In other words: it doesn't correspond to a real cost to Apple.

I totally agree. I'm amazed by how opaque and difficult to understand the process to create debian packages is because of all the various layers/helpers/tools that can/should be used in different cases and the difficulty

`char` is a (internally) a `u32` because it represents any single unicode character. `str` is not a `[char]`, because rust doesn't store strings as utf-32 (system APIs don't accept utf-32, and it tends to waste space in many cases

only clang (not gcc) ships ubsan with support for checking unsigned integer overflow. clang's ubsan does not enable it by default (it must be explicitly enabled). As a result, it's not clear that it's a false positive in the

Not necessarily. The non-GPL utilities the GNU coreutils are based on are presumably licensed as MIT, ISC, Public Domain, or similar. If that is the case, those licensing regimes don't forbid adding extra restrictions, so adding the re

While it's good that this is finally being provided, it's still somewhat amazing that there isn't any documented API to interact with iCloud. One can of course, on Apple hardware, use apple proprietary APIs to do some things.

For those just scanning the comments, "full remote access" is just being used to mean "has an automatic update system" here

Ya, I ran for a long time with a passphrase in a system without a TPM. I recently got a TPM for it so I could have it restart without me being present. I used the `manage-bde` command rather than powershell: https://docs.microsof

Bitlocker can be configured (via manage-bde on the cmdline, iirc) to use a passphrase and not use the TPM at all.

I was curious about this, and went searching, and it's fairly difficult to figure out exactly what is being referenced. There is a reddit thread that links to deleted tweets that appears like it might be related: https://www

Apple is hosting user created content though (in the form of apps). Don't they become liable for that hosting if they don't handle the DMCA request themselves?

Presumably the author doesn't send the IDFA to mapbox, which makes linking profiles here more difficult/less reliable.

I feel like we're missing some of the details/steps here, perhaps because the folks at corellium have a bunch of existing experience with apple SoCs and as a result had non-public knowledge about the platform. For example: determi

It appears you've linked to a comment about the lack of a way to backup signal messages on iOS. That is separate(ish) from the importing of messages from WhatsApp. So, no, they're not interested in WhatsApp import (per the closed

I do this, but I also worry that a result of "Amazon Smile" will be that charitable organizations will be less willing to be critical of Amazon due to donations to them being provided by Amazon.

As others have noted, the statistics you listed are recklessly inaccurate. That said: even if they were accurate, we'd still need to examine how may signature match failures result in detecting actual fraudulent voting, and how many si

Ya, I was using snapper but didn't restrict the number of snapshots so I probably had more than 20 I use zfs now and have many, many, more than 20 snapshots without issue. I wasn't using a nvme drive with btrfs, it was a sata ssd.

Are you using snapshots? qgroups (which you have to enable to see snapshot space utilization)?. I've had bad experiences with them on btrfs.
