nobodyshere··on Bitcoin mining on an Apollo Guidance Computer
From whose point of view? A mythical “10x” working at a Californian small startup making IoT juice machines isn't necessarily doing anything more useful.
nobodyshere··on Google pulls Huawei’s Android license, forcing it to use open source version
Nothing ever stopped them from doing so with official android builds prior to this point.
nobodyshere··on Google pulls Huawei’s Android license, forcing it to use open source version
AOSP but still with their crappy buggy shell above it. Don't be so optimistic yet. Let's see what comes out of this first.
nobodyshere··on DeepMind readies first commercial product
nope
nobodyshere··on AdGuard DNS: A Privacy-Oriented DNS Server
Also, "dns.adguard.com", not "dns.adguard.org".
nobodyshere··on BladeRF 2.0 micro
As long as you don't plan to transmit. A 20 bucks tuner is cute, but won't get you too far, especially with noise and heat problems affecting signal quality. But yeah, a generally nice way of getting to know sdr and whether you're interested in it at all before spending serious money on grown up boards.
nobodyshere··on Apple T2 Security Chip: Security Overview [pdf]
Unfortunately it has much weaker specs. No thunderbolt, only dual core CPU, slow Wi-Fi. They didn't even care enough to tell us the screen resolution, which is at least to me an important thing to know before buying.
nobodyshere··on Listen to a SIM-Jacking, Account-Stealing Ransom
Google requires at least 2 ways of 2fa protection. You can enable a third one and disable the phone completely.
nobodyshere··on 2018 MacBook Pro Review
Right. Backups are for pussies.
nobodyshere··on Light Phone 2: A simple 4G phone with e-ink
I couldn't care less about the licenses, however the pricing of that thing immediately means no to my purchase. Especially positioning $300 as an awesome discount from $400.
nobodyshere··on Apple will reject apps created from app generation services like Xamarin in 2018
That’s fake news. There’s nothing to discuss here.
nobodyshere··on Tesla Tells New Taxi, Uber Drivers Not to Use Its Superchargers
Apparently right now environmentalism is a quite good justification for such lowered taxes. After all taxis are some of the most actively driven vehicles in the streets of any country.
nobodyshere··on Tesla Tells New Taxi, Uber Drivers Not to Use Its Superchargers
They can and they do. I talked to an Uber driver with a model s in Amsterdam. Leases it with his brother for about €1600 per month and still makes profit.
nobodyshere··on Microsoft launches Windows 10 on ARM
They are all technically still 'computers'. Their form factor doesn't change that.
nobodyshere··on Face ID beaten by mask
Although fingerprint AND face/iris scan would probably add more confidence, with passcode as a reserve option.
nobodyshere··on Face ID beaten by mask
No. As far as I know, there is no such device on the market. You can disable Face ID, but can't force it in combination with passcode, for example. Android allows you basically the same approach: any of the currently enabled methods. It is awkward though that there is no option to have that sort of 2FA for mobile devices, where at least two methods would be required, or strictly specified ones.
nobodyshere··on Face ID beaten by mask
You'd need a very precise IR projector. That's likely very far away from a DIY home made solution in terms of costs.
nobodyshere··on Face ID beaten by mask
They realize that at Apple too. Face/Touch ID can be forcefully disabled for enterprise. However for an average Joe this is not a threat.
nobodyshere··on Watch All the Apple TV Aerial Video Screensavers (2015)
There should be some new 4k ones. They demo'ed them at the recent Apple event.
nobodyshere··on Steve Jobs reviews the iPhone X
Rumours say he took part in some of the future generations' designs while he was alive.
nobodyshere··on Apple Removes Apps from China Store That Help Internet Users Evade Censorship
But they still have the built-in VPN client in iOS, don't they? As long as they don't block this particular feature in China, I don't see that as a big reason for panic.
nobodyshere··on Windows 10 is bringing ads to File Explorer – how to turn them off
I tried that quite a few times on a rarer pc setup (intel nuc 6i7kyk, 6i5syk). Doesn't usually end that well. What windows has that works great is the driver support, graphics drivers in particular. On ubuntu and mint especially. I'll try building a Ryzen pc this summer to see how well that works though.
nobodyshere··on YubiKey 4C
I can't cite it right now, but I can ask iOS devs from our mobile team to provide sources on that. I've been told it was recently added to the API.
nobodyshere··on YubiKey 4C
Actually they can. Features are being added, for example using iphone's nfc chip as a work pass.
nobodyshere··on Russia Requires Apple and Google to Remove LinkedIn from Local App Stores
Kind of. Except for when you get noticed or become too big to skip.
nobodyshere··on Russia Requires Apple and Google to Remove LinkedIn from Local App Stores
So does South Korea. At least based on my experience in gaming industry. They also required encrypting all private data.
nobodyshere··on Russia Requires Apple and Google to Remove LinkedIn from Local App Stores
Well, it all doesn't work like that. "Hey guys, nobody follows this law, so neither should we!" - Nope.
nobodyshere··on Russia Requires Apple and Google to Remove LinkedIn from Local App Stores
Nothing unexpected is happening. They have a law that requires storing Russian nationals' data on servers physically located in Russia. Linkedin refused to follow the law and got what was coming. While the law isn't that great, it is still there to be complied with.
nobodyshere··on Autovpn – Script to Create an OpenVPN Endpoint on AWS
Try pritunl.
nobodyshere··on Intel Security True Key
I don't see why I'd want to use a service that bans my country from even accessing their website.
