I wonder what voltage is required to kill the Mediatek chip? Maybe a simple jig that put -24v through it could fry it? Of course, if you're expecting it, this device should be relatively simple to stop. I can imagine more stealthy vari

Interesting, I just tried a version of the readings the mind in the eyes test here: http://socialintelligence.labinthewild.org/mite/ The test seemed somewhat biased to a certain social background however.

You could make it explicitly clear by emailing them, or mentioning it at the time of purchase or timing your purchase with a privacy announcement.

Scientists often hype the claims in their own papers, in this case: "These data show that the illusion of feeling another person nearby is caused by misperceiving the source and identity of sensorimotor (tactile, proprioceptive, and mo

To me that's a business transaction. Praise would be "Thanks, Apple, for supporting privacy!" then not necessarily buying any of their products.

Wow, I'd totally missed that. That's really great news.

I feel this is a legitimate criticism of Apple. Not only do they sell the product at a price that funds development (and gives them a healthy profit) they also sell unavoidable Ads (in the AppStore). Ads in apps themselves I'm reasonab

Why would you want to "praise" a company. Publicly traded companies operate for financial gain. If you feel a company is supporting your interests you might want to consider buy their products. Make sure it's known that you&#

Hmmm... this story is about a PhD student. There's an argument that you should be paid a salary to receive an education. However I think it would also apply to undergraduate degrees (and indeed in the UK students used to receive grants

Imagine you had the money today (you'd already, automatically sold all the stock). How much would you buy? Once you've figured that out sell everything except the amount you would buy. It's effectively the same decision, but

Interestingly, I want to know none of those things. I'd be more interested in knowing how statistically likely the chemicals are to increase my risk of getting cancer.

While I agree the situation was very different, arguably the iPhone was built with venture money. NeXT did receive venture funding (which obviously became the core os MacOS and iOS). Fingerworks, was also a key acquisition. I can't fin

ok, that seems somewhat confusing having googled it [1]. But I guess at least the UI shows that Wifi and Bluetooth are on. I assume that if after activating airplane mode you disconnect bluetooth and wifi from the control center, it really

I've not seen that where I live (Kamogawa), but I want to now. Guess I need to search around the rice fields more. :) haha, I've just realized I know you. Will have to ask you where it is sometime. Small World.

Right, I feel like this is a bigger issue than the privacy angle too. For privacy/security, I feel like it's only really going to help to turn off all radios (airplane mode).

I just spent a couple of minutes trying to 3D touch to properly disable wifi, then googling how to do this with 3d touch and came up empty. Either it doesn't work that way, or it's well hidden and appears not great in terms of UX.

You could just render it to the region next to the notch and then it will only appear on phones with a notch. /badjoke

Perhaps you're already aware but you can absolutely render around the notch on the iPhone X: https://webkit.org/blog/7929/designing-websites-for-iphone-x... Hopefully it wont cause too many other issues thoug

In regard to "1970s code lineage" I think the parent is referring to the fact that the original XNU codebase incorporated parts of the BSD kernel, which was released in the 70s. The same can be said of the code lineage of FreeBSD

I can understand the reticence in this situation. Lithium Ion batteries are dangerous. When they fail, they can release a lot of energy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAZ62tUtc0w The PowerWall seems to be impressively saf

Apparently this is such a bad idea, that it's possibly my most downvoted comment ever. :) I should definitely try and get this funded. :) I'm still somewhat curious why a iOS compatible open source clone might be a such a bad idea

by new299 9y ago
It's a start. It would be nice to see more of iOS open sourced. Not everything, but enough to run the GUI and maybe Safari. I think that could be a huge win for Apple. Lower end, open source iOS compatible phone could attack Android of

Without the ability to sign the kernel, even if you could build one you wouldn't be able to run it.
