You seem to have something to share, could you elaborate? From my point of view, the sandboxing and authorization model of iOS is way better than what is available on Android right now. You could argue that newer versions of Android provide

It is actually clever: - generate a fake CA and use it to sign your driver on the fly; - add the generated root CA to the trusted list - delete the private key so that nobody else can sign anything with this CA - now windows will happily co

Also, encrypting files on disk is not actually protecting anything. The Signal app still has to decrypt is somehow, and has to store the private key somewhere, usually on disk, unencrypted..

This is nice and all, but isn't practical for anybody on linux (Paperbak used to be windows only, and the linux version you can find is very subpar). I have found that splitting the key in 256 bytes chunks, then QrCoding them is suffic

I like that quote in the interview: > Also, asked whether in hindsight he would have preferred Sun having been acquired by IBM (which pursued a deal to acquire Sun and then backed out late in the game) rather than Oracle, Gosling said he

Dropping the pressure in the tire will lead to (way) higher risk of tearing of the tire fabric. You should never drive with a deflated tire, it multiplies the risk of tire failure like crazy. So no, deflated spherical wheels is not a good i

Could you elaborate on the intelligent firewall? I haven't rooted my device since ancient times, but this might make me reconsider.

So, what is the solution? Implementing a PKI over between the key and the car? This would be quite nice, wouldn't it? -Key asks car to unlock and sends public key for recognition, -Car sends challenge encrypted with key Public key -Key

There's a WaaS (Wedding-as-a-service) opportunity right there.

OK, I read that and didn't understand the "registered" (should be "users that have a License"). I understood as "registered on the forum" and figured I could try it. It ended up erasing my non-dev sublime

For those of us that don't own a license, can I use that build without a license?

Why even bother with the speed bump. These guys have been neglecting the mac pro for 4 years and work their ass on a new version, and still spend time updating the legacy ?

Obj-C uses this. C, on the other end, allows prototypes to be defined as: void* memcpy(void*, void* size_t) // no argument name Which is the worse IMHO. The autocomplete cannot event tell you which is which..

No, the MGU-H is incorrectly named. It gathers a bit of the turbo rotation to generate electricity (via induction) on high-speed regimes, and returns that electricity into the turbo when in acceleration (low speed regime). It is not a therm

Wait, what? So admitedly, a few (bilion) years back, when the universe had a radius smaller than ~14B ly, it was sufficiently dense to be a black hole? I mean, what ? Our universe did not lose mass in between (if we admit that it is a &qu

Internally, we tend to call this kind of code, circumventing a procedure, the Volkswagen Code.

Is this actually legal? I mean, these are public institutions funded by the people of the US. They should be allowed to communicate, no?

It seems that they unified the assembler used in the go compiler to use intrinsics for amd64. In doing so, they must have botched something, because now some atomic operations (IE. operations that shouldn't be interruptible by another

This does not sound like the Apple I know about. I mean, these guys forced every app to be able to handle IPV6-only network operations last year. And this was after making all apps switch to 64 bits a bit earlier. Why did they back up off S

I'm not sure we have the same experience on Mac. Everything I ever plugged in there works, from Arduino to Androids to USB sound cards, DVBT/SDR tuners, webcams, or USB ethernet adapters, even my little USB scanner. I migght have

What is fantastic here is that the telemetry was received for nearly the entire descent, up to a few seconds before the crash. The could reproduce the exact same scenario in simulation by replaying the telemetry as inputs to their firmware

Using firefox? Did you tick "Send analysis data to Mozilla"? If yes, Mozilla has the very same information about your browsing habits and all clicks and actions you performed in Firefox too. It's just that Google shows it to
