Man I miss those days. I've still got an N770, N810, 3x N900s and an N950 developer device that I run battery maintenance on every 4 or 5 months. Had a Pre 2, and still have an HP Veer. Making modifications to the system to customize

I believe they are essentially saying this: https://i.redd.it/pmori9td3ar51.jpg I hate just drive-by posting an image of a tweet from Reddit, which may not even be true, but I think it's succinct.

Huginn [0] is also very powerful, free, and open source. You can run it locally, in a VPS, or on Heroku for free. I pay for IFTTT Pro, but I still use Huginn for things that IFTTT can't do, and I highly recommend it. I've tried No

You're telling him not to care about their costs, but Apple is straight up telling him to care about their savings, but don't pass it on to the consumer. Generally speaking, people care about saving more of their money, they car

So, ATAK already does this with pretty good success [0] but it generally works best with full connectivity. You can deploy it over mesh technology for places that don't have Internet connectivity, and then backhaul the data to a monito

WPA doesn't rely on a "human memorable password". You can generate a random 63 character string to use. The point of QR for this is to be able to actually share that high entropy 63 character string so you don't have to

Were you using the userspace implementation or kernel-mode? Kernel mode is supposed to increase performance and reduce battery draw. Perhaps a kernel is available for your device, or you can look at building and contributing one if not! Wha

Ditto but for the Pebble 2. I bought a few backups that I can continue using for a few years until something similar is released (week long battery life, easy to read always-on display, hacker friendly, etc). I have my eye on the PineTime,

Google dropped support, Broadpwn (CVE-2017-9417) was released, and there are no blobs to fix it. This stops the device from meeting requirements in the Lineage Charter, thus it is dropped from official status. Nexmon was working on it last

I'd recommend this as a great time to start building directly from the source (either LOS or AOSP) so you can provide yourself with updates, including Android Security Bulletins, as they are merged in to LOS or AOSP. You won't get

There are a few AVB 2.0 devices that will allow this, including the Pixel series, and the OnePlus 5T, but it can be risky. GrapheneOS works seamlessly with it, allowing you to relock the bootloader and only accept signed-OTA updates. You ma

IMHO, this isn't "security through obscurity" but it's a way of weeding out automated attacks and reducing logs filling up with completely avoidable entries. I'd say it has valid "sysadmin" reasons but not

iOS has essentially always used FBE and not FDE, you can see more about this in the iOS Security Guide [0], while yes, versions of Android up to 7.0 only allowed FDE. Google has since done away with FDE and it's no longer supported by
