Interesting... lots of devices (industrial control, PBXs, even smart thermostats, etc.) have debug Tx/Rx pins with no authentication at all. We have very small ESP32 boards so plug those in, find a power pin (most controllers will have

I keep a list of (mostly) open source tools, scripts, etc. for debloating Windows 10/11: https://github.com/TemporalAgent7/awesome-windows-privacy This thing is not on the list, because it's obviously extreme

It's unlikely something like this was (or will ever be) successfully pulled off. But there are well known supply chain attacks where firmware of various devices was compromised. There are also some (unconfirmed) tales of extra, tiny IC

We're doing cross-plat work and I have a macBook that I sometimes need to use to compile and debug stuff. Even after a couple of years, I dread having to work on the mac. Could be me being used to Windows since the DOS / Win3.1 da

I liked my Microsoft Band 2 much better than my Apple Watch (it's been gathering dust for the past ~2 years, but even before than I rarely used it). Wonder why they killed that one...

You don't need administrative permissions to install many tools, including Visual Studio Code, or even xcopy-able emacs clones if that's more your jam. If you mean you're not allowed to run any executables at all unless in a

We briefly toyed with the reverse idea; wanted to share some code between web and native, and TypeScript / C++ already look very similar - what if we invented a subset of TypeScript that can be simply translated into C++ (as long as yo

You can totally build and use V8 independently (many projects, including node.js, do it) and they have documentation specifically targeted at embedders. JSC is not as nice but can still be built and embedded as a stand-alone library.

All those other engines are cross-platform, whereas LibJS is UNIX only and actually very dependent on SerenityOS libraries (so not really a portable UNIX library), but that's apparently the intended design.
886.
by gigel82 5y ago
It would be nice if LibJS would become an independent library, but last time I checked it had way too many dependencies on other core / helper libraries in SerenityOS for it to be ripped out; not sure why it would need a separate websi

Microsoft has a very usable online version that's free (with a bit of upsell here and there). Arguably more capable than Google Docs.

Yes, they have multiple download buttons and it takes a bit, but I got the same with Google; it only took a few minutes to download the data once made available. I was most surprised by the sheer amount of audio data kept: in my case, more

And do their concerns get addressed somewhere up the chain? Do they even have ways to express their concerns? I've heard there's a similar contingent within Microsoft complaining about all the ads and shady privacy stuff in Window

I doubt this is legal. If your car kills someone, you're going to jail. Mercedes, the company, cannot do jail time; it can at most pay fines - and there's no legal system in the world today that would accept it. And if it does, we

Ugh, wish I'd found this a couple of years ago; after hand-writing a Unity asset parser in node.js for a hobby project (big/little-endian mixes, byte alignment, versioned header format, different compression algos, etc.).

"information is never sold, disclosed, or even seen by the big telecom carriers" That claim smells... unless they're deploying their own personal network throughout the US (highly unlikely) that means they're an MVNO o

Had the same issue for a while, then moved the "server" to the Windows machine and it now works as expected (with the latest build at least).

There are dozens of "phone home" features in Chrome that by default leak everything from what you type to every single url you visit. Check out https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium to see the extent

It's possibly related to the size of the JavaScript bundle being used. In my case it was 4Mb of minified JavaScript being evaluated (React Native with a bunch of dependencies).

Gave it a try a couple of years ago and it had issues with larger JavaScript bundles (passing a lot of objects on the stack requiring recompiling the entire process with an increased stack size or modifying the threads on which it runs to a

Makes me wonder if this wasn't Putin's goal all along. Completely breaking the Russian population off of the free internet means they'll be fed only propaganda. The whole "prison terms for disagreeing with the official m
