Apple can remove the app from the App Store but I'm pretty sure they can't delete apps over the air from a given phone.

When are we going to get projection against unauthorised USB devices when the workstation is locked (ie, I'm away from my computer and a nefarious actor inserts a USB device) similar to the recent iOS 12 improvements?

As a dev I was pretty anxious about the quality of results from DDG but a couple of months into my experiment I’ve only found myself going back to Google for dev-related searches a handful of times (maybe 2 handfuls). So I’m now sold on DDG

Microservices pundits have strategically (or accidentally) engineered the hate for non-microservice design. They chose the term "monolith" to disparage anything that wasn't SOA. "Monolith" has a natural negative con

Why do we keep hanging around the Drake Equation then? or: What is a better tool?

This is a very naive comment. There will always be a small handful of engineers that can push the button to move code into PROD or even change code in PROD live. Ideally, with mature controls, the people in this list is short. But to jump t

I still don't get why we do this [mocking http endpoints]. Sure this makes the problem of mocking the server less painful. Well done. But I'd take completely integrated tests over these any day. Sure they're slower but that&#

I'm more confident now that it's probably very dangerous and may not get the FDA approval. If they do it will be trickle charging. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bXjn3wwM8o

I bet you the lasers in these transmitting devices will not be gas but small solid state units. As this becomes more popular, like surface-mount camera dies, these SMD IR laser diodes will become smaller and smaller.

Read the patent or watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeNXRD8eziA&t=0s In simple terms, the laser transmitter, the laser receiver and the beam that is used introduces a feedback mechanism that the transmitt

Agreed. This is exactly the implementation described in the patent.

I had a similar high school experience. Not as much asm but spent way too many hours writing basic programs on that thing. prob should have spent more time listening in class.... nar! :-D

True. But HN does invite this kind of thing.. I didn't finish it either. AgileBits are trying to change their business/revenue model and that transition is not suiting this user. Shame for AgileBits but you can't please every

How is the ISP performing this remote update? Is it TR-069/CWMP or an open SSH port or something? Many routers will allow the user to disable TR-069 even while it's running. Often a hardware reset will also disable it and then the

The intersection of full-stack web devs from the commercial line-of-business world; and hardware/embedded hackers brings a lot of room for accidents IMO. I'm not saying any one of these groups are bad or inept. I'm in the for

Particularly this image https://youtu.be/4yG2h1aDB6k?t=133 which shows the "person" partially sucked out when the whole window went - eerily similar to the description of the woman in the window seat.
