Whoa. Do you have any video or photographic references of this? Just really fascinated with the technicals of how they'd do that.

I don't know much, but I learned that it was an iPhone 5C (sans Secure Enclave), and it seems John McAfee might've poked the FBI about it: http://www.businessinsider.com/john-mcafee-ill-decrypt-san-b... Everyone s

EC is kind of hard to search for for someone with no knowledge of the electronics scene. What are you referring to?

Your comment was killed (I just vouched for it) because of your unsubstantiated claims. Can you give some concrete examples of why you think this way?

The one thing I really really like: you can see the hour/minute colon separate flashing as it scrolls. This is really cool.

Very good point. I completely forgot about that.

by i336_ 10y ago
That's one approach, but be careful you don't burn out. I'd also say that tech moves fast enough that you'll need to finetune your approach if you want something to run with for 5 years. If you want something that'l

Well, FWIW, I can successfully reproduce this. - Install https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/djflhoibgkdhkhhced... and flip to Android - or pull your phone out - Go to https://m.youtube.com/w

First time I've ever seen "That comment was too long." on HN. This is part 1 of 2. --- Mentoring is something I'm admittedly a bit lacking in, so this is highly appreciated! The to-the-point approach is an even bigger be

I hope to explore Plan 9 in greater depth than I can right now too. I agree that the kernel services are what make Plan 9 different. I think the "everything is a file" concept is something that has not been explored nearly as much

What are the semantic/grammatical/"magical" differences between 0 and NULL? I understand their similarity in terms of NULL's equivalence to memory address 0 and boolean false, but I'm increasingly aware that th

Was very interesting to me! I'm curious what options are out there that will connect via something like RS232 or USB and let you tie into a centralized logging system (which would be incredibly easy to build). "Windows app with on

Have you ever considered a revisit?

Wow, nice! At 8 (1999) I was given a probably-6-or-7-year-old 286 running DOS 3.3 with nothing on it. That got swapped for an XT a couple years later, which I discovered Qbasic on and got tangled up in for way too many years :S. Smalltalk

(Took me a bit to get back to this) I used to have a really bad case of The Next Big Thing, but I've slowly started to come round to the idea of taking the time to study what already exists and consider where I might be the one who n

Very curious who you mean by "us." Are you part of a Plan9 user community? Interesting. I remember firing Inferno up inside a Java applet a few years ago. I think something that might generate some interest is a) compiling Plan9 (

Ah, I almost figured out what the variable power supply was for :) So searching "CPU glitching" didn't do much, but "CPU voltage glitching" found me lots of results. I realize all you need is a variable voltage supp

Ah, I encountered Scatch 2.0. I'll definitely check 1.4 out, it looks a lot more accessible and reasonable. I would have loved to have encountered something like this at 14 or 15. I suspect the reason Scratch felt slow to me is that 2.

I read through the recent thread on teaching kids to code ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13499626 ) and was mildly perplexed at how seemingly successful Scratch has been. It wasn't until the 2nd or 3rd time I&#x2

That's almost alien. rc is quite different, wow. It's really sad that this isn't available for Linux. :( Because this just makes so many cool things possible.

Right... and that's the collective name for the terminal device's settings. I see, thanks!

by i336_ 10y ago
Okay, wow. That is really awesome. And nice . You talk to the kernel via plain text. No ioctls! :D It's like they made an OS designed to make bash happy. And I can sum up my conclusions of 'modern' Linux in one word: system

Ah, interesting! Well, you've done some homework already and defined the problem area quite well, so you have that going for you. C and C++ aren't the easiest languages to learn given they require manual memory management, so you

I was curious what you'd say :) As for the first idea I mentioned, disasters there could be easily tolerated since it's just a side-project thing, so using it as something to (slowly!) work towards could be interesting. With the S

After carefully considering what you've said, my first question is what development experience you do have. On the one hand the "finished product" overview you've provided could simply be for conciseness, or it could b

Hah. Well, I expect an appropriately patched version of NTLDR will surface pretty soon then - especially considering the signing issues are moot (see elsewhere in this thread).

by i336_ 10y ago
Ah, I see. I was getting Secure Boot confused with Trusted Boot, which was available in the XP era.
509.
by i336_ 10y ago
Ah, that answers that question then.

by i336_ 10y ago
Ooooh. Good point - and I don't actually know. [EDIT: See comment below, XP doesn't do Secure Boot, the following is moot for this context.] So... BOOTMGR (Win10) is chaining through to NTLDR to load WinXP. And either Win10 comes
