I'm not sure how they are counting the searches, mine is indicating more than 100 searches per day and I certainly don't access their website that much (maybe search suggestions count too?). Their results and overall product are m

If I understood correctly, this still doesn't protect you against custom Airtags using embedded boards[1]. You could just use any serial number you want and maybe even incriminate other people by using the serial number of their authen

Or you can load your own firmware to any other embedded device with Bluetooth and also make it totally undetectable from iPhones by changing keys frequently and making it appear like multiple different AirTags. https://github.com

> Signal does not have any metadata except account creation and last-seen timestamps I hate the way Signal sells it, like there is zero trust involved and everything is solved by some magic encryption. There is a lot of data the Signal c

They are trying to do some improvements to make it partially work in private tabs. If I understood correctly, there will still be some issues until they refactor the whole extension for Manifest V3 (deadline is Jan/2023). https:/

Can someone give details about what is the best way to contribute? Is there some easy way like just installing an app in my phone and receive popup notifications to answer some quick questions when I'm in a queue of a random local shop

It seems that light reflected off walls can achieve up to 70 Mbit/s in a controlled environment. But yeah, it's still hard to think about direct applications in our lives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li-Fi

Are you using Element? I find the web version good enough to be used, but I admit the mobile client is still a mess (they plan to improve it in 2022 though).

Spaces is the most important thing I miss in Slack. The use of different accounts for different communities is understandable in the business point of view, but is very unacceptable for people just curious about multiple open-source project

Maybe it's a silly question, but what happened with the attempts of using a smartphone instead of a whole new hardware? Isn't it easier to just create a helmet with some extra sensors and connect it to the smartphone?

They have their own partnerships (e.g. Wikipedia), own web scrappers [1] and they actually change the ranking of webpages with their own algorithm (don't remember where I read it). I still have no idea of how much is really Duck and ho

There is some exciting work around this flow cells to create something more durable. It would be really interesting to be able to buy something like that and use it in schools/personal hacks without worrying about small mistakes in the

Very nice blog! I was looking at Signal with their closed-doors development these days, and you have no idea of how much a post from time to time detailing the progress makes means for someone willing to contribute. Some of the most excitin

Taking from Tauri [1], which tries to use native rendering engines too, it's WebKitGTK [2]. I thought that only OSX and mobile OS had an integrated rendering engine to call it native, though. [1] https://github.com/taur

It's exactly what I'm asking, what is the status of our current metabolic pathway simulations for example ? how much about protein denaturation do we need to know before protein structure prediction is useful ?

A related question I always had: how much does computational tools really help in the biochemistry as a whole given the tons of variables that we just can't even measure perfectly ? As a computer scientist I can see how rigid data stru

It's always worth mentioning that you can create your own custom tracker device that uses the Find My network. https://github.com/seemoo-lab/openhaystack/

I'm interested in a explanation for that too. Signal recently introduced the same sender key method for groups [1] and, correct me if I'm wrong, this is first formal mention of the "Selective Forwarding" method we have.

A nice idea in the opposite direction I saw recently was watermarking images, why create a fake felling of privacy when you can create legal liability ? https://community.signalusers.org/t/watermark-photos-videos/.

One thing that shocked me was discovering that Firefox encrypts the saved passwords but doesn't (and won't) encrypt the cookies database at all. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1259652
