A pi in hostapd hotspot mode should work fine, right? Anyways I would guess most of the (“insane?”) target users of this device probably don’t want to mess with any of that.

It’s extremely funny to think that building a microblogging clone involves any trade secrets whatsoever

Even the web reader view of this thread is horrifyingly janky for me on iOS safari; each tap seems to be a full, slow refresh of the site and loading screen.

Personally it’s been a long time since I launch anything besides ~4 apps (phone, messages, browser, mail) from the homescreen. There are wayyy too many apps for that (because of BS like reddit is doing) - I always drag down and start typing

Given how these 0days were clearly “burned” for this occasion tells me the NSA has no shortage of them.

Been in the space about a decade. Hope this helps. 1. Pain points: most corps already have tons of agents running everywhere, usually with one or more inventory management systems already. You would have to add a ton of new value to warrant

Third-ing this opinion. Can’t remember the last time I saw v1 used in a design.

I am neutral on cryptocurrencies, but I agree that whenever I see people lumping cryptocurrency and cryptographically-secure messaging together it’s a huge red flag. The UX for key management should be monstrously different between shitpos

Yea, definitely citation needed on that. What I have seen OTOH, is Apple go to considerable expense not to comply with broadening LEO requests. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI–Apple_encryption_dispute

It’s a nice product so I hope I didn’t come across too passive aggressive; but buried ledes can be frustrating for readers. Thanks for producing freely licensed work like virtual-fido, which looks very useful indeed. I’d imagine you are hea

I’ll save you 2 minutes: this whole article is a roundabout ad for the author’s password manager, the complaint being there is not a standardized import/export functionality in the industry (fair). But I’m pretty sure 1Password support

I think because it supports all “conductive” surfaces, which in practice will exhibit slightly different capacitive properties. Machine learning is one approach to derive the mathematic effects of these qualities on voltage signals while th

That is irritating. I’m not even sure which is worse; having to install an enormous and bloated runtime in order to download a group of files over HTTP, or forcing me to make 64 thousand HTTP requests in order to download a single dataset

Well that’s objectively terrible. Question about security ramifications: aren’t APs without x509 set up trivially spoofable anyways? Or is that fixed? I have not paid attention to wifi security in a minute.

Yeah, file-based keys managing millions of dollars exist in the crypto space too. “Manageable” does not mean “good”. The real pudding is this: hardware wallet users fall prey to phishing scams all the time and lose their life savings. It’s

Counterpoint: it’s miles worse than FIDO/WebAuthn, which most hard keys and modern OSes support. Asking users to install a browser plugin is a disaster waiting to happen for most users. Phishing of cryptocurrency hardware wallets happe

The numbers I have seen put SVB at 56% exposed to long term bonds, vs closer to 20% at other banks. Is there another type of exposure I am missing?

It’s pretty terrible that they even allow public access to these gateways, let alone default to it. At a very bare minimum some sort of origin header checks should be done. Who in their right mind would want to pay an exorbitant rate to put

Yea this is my take as well, having worked in this space. You can and will lose millions without detection, but 60M seems extremely rich, even for a VC-funded growth stock giant like twitter.

Sites like twitter and myspace don’t really explode so much as erode. Anecdotally (n=1) my entire social graph left, but I could believe new classes of users were drawn in simultaneously. I have wondered myself whether we will ever get leg

Watch and airpods are both rather successful products that capture about 30% industry market share every year.

Came to upvote this. I was moved by how this is written and how relatable they make their struggle and the questions it imposes on everyone.

I learned this the hard way, dont vacation in Italy in August. All the local restaurants are closed as their owners are vacationing! That actually made me reassess my own beliefs about life balance.

Maybe media codec checks then, or a bug that ignores the metrics setting. We can go all day at this until someone finishes the research. > It seems you are unaware. It's not trivial these days. I know very well what it takes, thats

Almost certainly not. Likely just a metric on how often users utilize finder previews.

by infotogivenm 4y ago
Agree with gp that this is a astonishingly huge logical leap by the author. I would guess the author left the default “report metrics to apple” on, and apple is noting that “a user leveraged the photo preview feature for the first time in X

Anecdotally one (only been in one accident ever), but regrettably in that case I was the idiot braking at the last moment, and the driver behind me was distracted and rear ended me. Gave me a concussion that would have been nice to avoid.
