I think your Flutter knowledge is really very out of date. They rewrote a rendering engine from the ground up and released it about a year ago and a lot of the problems you describe are no longer the case.

The context was what are things that those with more or less unlimited resources can do in order to read your signal messages. They are 3 particular paths that aren’t in any way open to most attackers but will work here. Saying it impacts a

I could think of a few ranging from just asking Apple for a copy of your iCloud backups, asking you personally for a copy of the messages through to exploiting iOS itself.

Picking up Swift in 2024 seems like a bit of a sucker move if I’m honest. A language that only runs on a tiny fraction of hardware, has crappy documentation, has poor interoperability, a questionable developer toolchain that only runs on on

It’s really nice to have an alternative set of tradeoffs besides what’s offered by Typescript when it comes to type safe web programming. Dart is a much nicer, more expressive, more predictable and saner language than Typescript and the abi

It’s not at all like they didn’t have the time or the resources to deal with this. I think we already saw some of this in particular with the recent bullshit they tried to pull with PWAs in iOS 17.4 that they were hoping to just let things

I’ve been hoping to see someone eventually build a protobuf style serialisation solution on some of the emerging IETF standards like CBOR and it’s corresponding data definition language. I’m not really in the market for another proprietary

No but a lot will start building PWAs wherever they can instead because they no longer need to write an entire second copy of their app that only runs in one place and can’t share code and they don’t have to just pay 30% of their revenue to

I think one of the core lessons in network security in the past 10-20 years is that the VPN model is fundamentally broken from a security perspective. There is another entirely seperate argument that I think you’re making which says zero t

Strong disagree on this one, despite their best efforts to seem otherwise the intel folks aren’t magic and they have very real limitations in terms of how many resources they can throw into something like this. Not everyone is going to get

I don’t have any insight on this particular case but I do happen to know a meaningful amount about how things like this tend to happen historically and there’s no reason to think differently here. He almost certainly tried to get back in to

It’s probably the best book on the topic I’ve ever come across. It’s just an incredibly good mix of practical and approachable and does a great job of teaching you how to think on your own two feet about security which I think is one of the

It’s very 101 but covers sensible topics in a sensible order but yeah, lacks a lot of depth. If you’re looking for a genuinely awesome introduction to the topic I’d recommend this lecture series https://youtube.com/@security

Yeah I’m not sure how that seemed to get lost in some of the revisionist history in the comments here but it at a minimum sure was a hell of a coincidence that they managed to not make any meaningful investments in supporting the web as a v

For all the shit that Google gets for introducing new APIs at least they go through the regular standards tracks. This is just some bullshit Apple pushed onto the web without talking to anyone about it just to push their own proprietary UI.

There’s really no parallel whatsoever between pushing code to production and a military operation like this. It’s a terrible analogy.

There’s obviously a limit to how much detail you can fit into a headline but just to be clear this is using pattern matching across various sensors to develop a list of things matching a particular signature which is then sent to a human fo

Im not debating the mechanics of why it’s so shit, I’m saying that they are many years behind everyone else and that it’s not obvious that simply throwing money at the problem is going to fix that for them or that they actually have much of
