It sounds like “national security” is the legal justification they’re using to do an end-run around Congress, just like the justifications they’ve used to implement tariffs and which underpin a bunch of their EOs.

ACR needs to die. It’s an absurd abuse of the privileged position that a TV has - a gross violation of privacy just to make a few bucks. It should be absolutely nobody’s business to know what you watch except your own; the motivation behind

When you tap one of those fields it bounces you to a contact card. If it is an existing contact (for example, yourself), you just get the full contact card. If that contact card has multiple addresses (my contact card lists ten), you get

Why is it hard? In principle you render an image instead of discrete buttons, and do your hit testing manually. Sure, it’s more annoying than just having your OS tell you what key got hit, but keyboard makers are doing way fancier stuff jus

I mean, there is a reason why these sorts of constructs are UB, even if they work on popular architectures. The problems aren’t unique to IA64, either; the better solution is to be aware that UB means UB and to avoid it studiously. (Unfortu

What a fun problem to think about. My first instinct, knowing less about this domain than maybe I should, would be to abuse the return address predictor. I believe CPUs will generally predict the target of a “ret” instruction using an inte

If I read this correctly, they’re “bypassing ASLR” because the binary isn’t PIE, so it’s loaded at a static address. I would not consider this actually bypassing ASLR, because ASLR is already turned off for a critically important block of c

CarPlay/Android Auto is how you can get a modern infotainment system on a car that's a decade old. A new phone - a fraction of the cost of a new car - and you get access to all the new shiny stuff. That also means that people are
