Certainly nothing that couldn’t be done on another platform, but Apple has done a great job of locking us in. iMessage (including playing the games via iMessage), FaceTime, the built in location sharing features, sharing app purchases, etc.

Yes, definitely. One of these days my freedom loving privacy aware side will win out against the side of me who enjoys the convenience and ecosystem of iOS :). At this point my entire extended family is on iOS, and use several of the iOS on

Exactly this. Mitmproxy makes it very simple to download and install the root certificate on your device. Just don’t forget to remove or disable it when you’re done.

I think many people would be surprised by the amount of analytics data leaving their phone _all the time_. I recently was doing some work where I had my iPhone proxied through mitmproxy on my laptop, and was blown away by just how much data

On the subject of Dark Patterns, Linkedin has to be one of the biggest offenders. Almost every time I open their app (which isn't very often), they try to trick me into uploading my contact list. I wonder if it'll come to some s

You captured my thoughts perfectly. Many times I've been sitting outside with my phone or tablet in hand, wishing there was a natural way for me to get application logic from my head to the computer without a keyboard.

On Windows 10, if you have dual screens and unplug one while the screen is locked, it will reconfigure the displays and give you a flash of what was under the lock screen. Hope you didn't leave anything sensitive on your screen!

Give KDE Neon a try. I use it as my daily driver on a Latitude 7370 with the 3200x1800 display.

The most interesting part of this article to me was introducing me to Jonathan Blow and his Jai language. I've skimmed over some of his videos, and they look quite interesting. The compile time execution of any code supported by the

I did notice that, and even available in AUR for Arch. I just wasn't sure if their console font format was compatible with "setfont". Looks like I've got some playing to do (although I'd still like an excuse to giv

I feel like I tried this on Arch but it was still too small. I ended up using either the sun font or one of the cyr ones, can't remember. I've since moved back to KDE Neon on that machine, so I can't say for sure. I might po

Nice, this might give me the push I need to try BSD on my Dell Latitude 7370 (the XPS 13's cousin). The 3200x1800 display can be a bit hard to read with a default console font. Not that I spend a whole lot of time in the console outs

I’ve set up a few single device “groups” in the Alexa app to serve as aliases. This has helped quite a bit.

The CR-10’s little brother, the Ender 3, is a great starting machine for the technically inclined. I have one and love it. I paid $179 from Banggood last year.

Typically a native application will depend on shared libraries (or runtime such as jvm, .net) which can be updated independently of the application itself. That said, if the vulnerability is in the application code, you are correct, there w

Doesn’t stable after shipping also mean that if a critical vulnerability is found in the version of electron/chromium that you’ve bundled, the user is vulnerable until you are able to issue a fix? What if the app itself is no longer up

Since it seems like quite a lot of people are surprised that Amazon stores these recordings... PSA: you can go into the Alexa app and look at your Echo history and even listen to recordings of each interaction.

A superautomatic like a Jura Capresso is a happy middle ground for a smallish office. They generally make decent coffee and espresso, and many have a milk frother as well. Larger up front investment, but less waste, coffee is generally chea

Depending on the project, Raspberry Pi Zero W is often powerful enough. $5 on sale at Microcenter, $4 for the case.
