Pegasus was used by governments to target specific individuals. If you're being targeted by governments I would agree you're out of luck even on iOS.

For all practical purposes its true. There has never been a major malware outbreak on iOS, and iOS has never been more secure than it is now. A while back Apple started pulling anti-virus apps from the app store presumably because they are

You can't get viruses on iOS unless you're jailbroken - Apple's walled garden pretty much guarantees that. Even jailbreaking is insanely difficult with the newest versions of iOS. There is no public jailbreak of the current v

This makes the US military look pretty bad. They should be leading the world in cryptography, not planning to encrypt emails with 2002 tech in 2018. It just goes to show how meaningless the term "military grade encryption" really

You probably wouldn't need a hat. Neurostimulators made by Medtronic, the part that outputs the therapy and listens for input, are actually implanted in the chest or stomach area. The actual brain implant is just a thin wire that con

Make it randomly and forcibly install updates and it will be perfect. A "Preparing to install updates [Confirm] [Delay for 10 sec]" message would be funny.

I feel like downward trend in jailbreaking is temporary. iOS 10 has proven to be the most secure version of iOS. iOS 11 adds some additional complexity with the new file system and the possibility of sharing files between apps. I can onl

I’ve never liked the term ‘cyberweapon’. It is subtly misleading and gives the non-technical masses misconceptions about how exploits actually work. Cyberweapon implies that exploits are created by governments and let loose on the world, w

iOS 10 is pretty tricky to jailbreak, but I got lucky and was on the 10.1.2 when qwertyoruiop finished Yalu. I went a step further and took all the letters off the keyboard - it’s perfection.

>> In my opinion, this new design doesn’t work for the young, the old, the millenial, the seasoned pro, the able, the dis, the hawkeyed, or the near blind. My absolute favorite change with iOS 11 was the removal of unnecessary labels.

I was one of the very first scratch users. I started using it back in 2007, so I would have been 10 years old at the time. I have a job as a graphics programmer now, which I completely attribute to the countless hours I spent building gam

I'm personally not a fan of the term free software. It makes me think of trashy freemium software filled with ads and tricks to get you to install browser extensions. Using the term open source creates a nice distinction between ad fun

The vfx in Amazon's Man in the High Castle were done in Blender. There's a pretty big cultural shift that would need to happen for Blender to become common place in the film industry, but I'm starting to feel optimistic. ht

Blender's progress has been astounding. I remember a while back they anounced the OpenCL implementation was being put on hold for a undetermined amount of time due to limitations with AMD cards. This really is an exciting announcement.

What I want is a way to tie my own VPN to something like my Apple id and have it auto configured anytime I move to a different device. Right maintaining VPN clients on a range of devices is a pretty big hassle. I'm not saying I want

I was rear ended at a stop light because I slowed down for a yellow light while the guy behind me gunned it. Now I'm extremely hesitant to slow down for yellow lights. It has nothing to do with being impatient or disregarding traffic

Personally I'd like to see a large reduction in the emphasis on exams and repetitive homework. Today, at least to some degree, classes are designed to rank students against their classmates by who can memorize the most trivia. The pri

I'm okay with this. It's not like Adblock Plus is the only option or even the best option for ad blocking right now. I switched to uBlock Origin and never looked back.
