Everything should be served securely these days. Prior to HTTPS being absolutely king, ISPs here used to inject EXEs with malware and do all sorts of nasty stuff. With HTTPS dominating they don't do that sort of thing anymore as the sh

How are they doing SSL certificate management on an ESP32? Their article at https://khalsalabs.com/hosting-a-website-on-esp32-webserver-... makes no mention of how that would work, only really basic code for a static cleart

Is it a good idea to use quantum resistant crypto algorithm on-top of more established/widespread algorithms like RSA/ECDSA? I don't feel comfortable using quantum resistant crypto due to how cutting edge it all is.

I just felt that Qualcomm would have an edge over Apple given Qualcomm's experience developing ARM chips for decades at this point. It was more that I assumed that Qualcomm had some kind of killer chip in reserve in case a competitor s

Apple is basically competing against itself at this point. Somewhat disappointed of Qualcomm and MediaTek though, they're all mediocre by comparison. I would have expected them to wipe the floor with Apple, but seems like Apple chips a

For me this line of thinking doesn't make a lot of sense. The Google Play option will always exist as it is a prerequisite for widespread adoption on Android. Also arguably, you're safer on F-Droid due to the level of vetting on t

Their reasoning for having it Play Store only is that Google does not require app developers to provide their signing keys/sign the APK themselves. Now this is no longer the case as Google changed their policies. NOTE: F-Droid does not

I never understood the idea behind that. One can simply record the deepfaked content to have it "cryptographically blessed." That's what people still do to bypass DRM (just recording a screen) and it works so well that you ca

Isn't it common for smartphone makers to pull this sort of thing on Android? Basically the factory OS would overheat in order to do well in benchmarks but a subsequent update would later get it to throttle to prevent it from frying its

I've found GCP to be extremely expensive bandwidth wise, however the network is also really good. So I suppose it's understandable that they'd charge a premium.

It is true though, lest we forget that Samsung managed to make the Galaxy S5 IP67 water resistant... this phone meanwhile is IP57 rated, which is actually even worse. If they tell you "it's harder with the headphone jack" tha

I guess it's a gamble on whether you could gain users faster than you'd be losing them. Either way I don't think this can be the case with Unity due to how niche their product is with many alternatives (including free ones).

Replying to myself but also, they could easily trick you into clicking some link and exploiting you that way. HTTP isn't the issue here, it's just being exploited so they don't have to get you to click some link. In all likel

That still requires a leap of faith to a relatively small company. Even if true, they could always secretly activate logging without your knowledge.
