What happens when iOS 20 comes out and the A11 can’t run it? Is it suddenly okay then to ask Apple’s permission? I don’t think the court would hold up a bootrom exploit in an older chip as good enough for research purposes (what if an explo

If you require the user to hook into iTunes/Xcode, flip the device into recovery mode, click a few buttons, and agree to a "You're hecked if you break it now" policy, it'll be enough to scare off 99.9% of people fro

I wonder how much people are able to publish about the device. I'd expect not much, but it'd be nice to be able to compare a iPhone that was completely unlocked (at least, to whatever that means for Apple) with whatever security t

What's the annoyance? It's an MSI. Use msiexec /x to remove it (probably via PDQ Deploy or SCCM or a PowerShell Script), and then block the installer from running again during an Office install with GPO [0]. It's definit

Blocking it's removal? How? Teams was installed with Office on my current system, and it pops up in Add/Remove Programs. IT Admins can prevent it from being installed with Office (and remove it from all of their machines if it has

It's just annoyingly expensive for Windows boxes, with all of the licensing and stuff. Microsoft includes licenses for running VDI in Azure with Microsoft 365 now, but it still requires a full on-prem Active Directory setup (which you

I’m thinking that someone at Microsoft may have snuck the code for Windows into the archive after it was pulled from Github. Between Windows and OS X, a ton (most?) of the end user software would be unusable to a future generation in its or

Presumptively, the Tech Tree will have some way of bootstrapping a system capable of decoding the tapes. They say in the introduction that it’s nearly useless to access the tapes without a computer and that they expect whoever is reading th

I don't know, it'd probably take 18F like a month to add a page to whitehouse.gov called "Things the President said", add 2FA and whatever else it needs to be installed on his government phone, and a little bot that list

In the other thread, this was phrased as Tesla not allowing those states to release the information of people who bought a car to third-parties because privacy. I'm sure if you wanted to take the survey in one of those states you can j

I feel like you could just as easily say "Simple. As soon as Google changes their cut to 20% for Android-exclusive apps, developers will move to that store to make more money. Users will follow". They won't. Users won't

That's just as true of GitHub though, and isn't the problem. The problem is the related services, like issues, PRs and now CI/CD which all sit with the code but don't come down on a clone. That problem still hasn't

Skype for Business, Lync, and in the dark ages Office Communicator even had it. If you left IM open and your PC unlocked but you weren't using it, after a user set delay your status would turn to idle. You can't set the timeout in

They could, but since so much of healthcare sits inside Citrix these days, it's unlikely that in OP's scenario it would've mattered. It's pretty easy to find out if you are running in a VM on Windows though, so I bet the

At least for Apple, they claim the iPhone (at least devices post-checkm8) has not been compromised. iCloud is required to comply with records requests, but the data isn’t in iCloud the feds can’t get it. Even with checkm8, the Secure Enclav

I wish they'd let users set the green squares to public projects only. I use github a lot for private projects or archival (did a quick thing, write myself a readme and store it in case I need it again). But it looks like I'm doin

Time Machine (I don't know if that is what they are talking about, but it's an example) is designed to be used daily as well as in case your laptop explodes. Opening Time Machine allows you to go back and see every version of a fi

Comcast's newer IPTV/X1 boxes are somehow worse, as they have 100x the processing capacity of the old Motorola/Cisco boxes, but use it to run a slow as molasses JS SPA. The Netflix app runs at probably half the speed of the A

Comcast is $10 per TV (unless you’re cool with Roku) and the cord-cutter apps have good support on a bunch of different devices you can plug into your TV. I think Hulu still wins unless you want all of the channels.

I had a similar experience a couple years ago with a $2k MacBook Pro, except they did the whole spiel. “No, please! I want to give you money. Can I please give you money now?”

Last time I saw an air card in a laptop, you had to turn it off whenever you sleeped the computer to save battery life (because it would die in your bag) and the connection took a long time to boot. That was in 2011 or so though, is it bett

Even if Docker wasn’t possible (because no virt), a sandboxed terminal with enough utilities to bootstrap Brew is just a software problem. It wouldn’t require special hardware stuff, just as chroot doesn’t. As long as it could be accessed b

It still hurts today, because Microsoft puts a space between your first and last name in your profile if you are using a local account but not for a domain account, which causes all kinds of weird issues if you ever have to use cmd.exe...
