Depending on how Bluetooth stacks handle HCI commands on the device, remote exploitation of the backdoor might be possible via malicious firmware or rogue Bluetooth connections.

I really wish these articles just tell us what these scenarios are. I understand companies need publicity or need to sell software but if it isn’t replicatable and the article says “might be possible” it kind of sounds like a secuity sales pitch.

This is especially the case if an attacker already has root access, planted malware, or pushed a malicious update on the device that opens up low-level access.

This part basically sounds more like a software issue where the attacker has a way in already. The system is already vulernable at this point before using the exploit found.

I don’t think there’s enough information out yet.

It is very interesting though.

The company would have 20 days to comply with Brazil’s antitrust legislation, otherwise it would be fined more than $40,000 a day.

Apple would rather pay the $14.6 to $14.64 million per year.

I use F-droid. I don’t check hash keys but having that kind reassurance is definitely better than trusting F-droid blindly.

I have had issues F-droid uploads before.

So Accrescent has only a limited number of apps and only installs on Android 10 and up.

If you want something with less limits, you can use Obtanium with AppVerifier, or APKMirror, which also has the hash keys available.

Also great for the environment. Replacing a part is significantly better than the waste products and energy used in recycling facilities.

The seminar name Tariff-ic.

When you say hosting do you mean yourself or a company?

If a company, I do this with Dreamhost. Email hosting comes with web hosting. I might as well.

It’s been a while since I last looked but I haven’t read anything about whether they read my mail or not. They definitely could though.

Also their email spam filters are not very good.

Many Germans did not want to be reminded of individuals who did not measure up to their concept of a “master race” and were considered “unfit” or “handicapped.” People with physical and mental disabilities were viewed as “useless” to society, a threat to Aryan genetic purity, and, ultimately, “unworthy of life.” At the beginning of World War II, individuals with mental or physical disabilities were targeted for murder in what the Nazis called the “T-4,” or “euthanasia,” program.

It brought me to https://sportshd.app/soccer which seems to work.

Can I take a a guess? If not, please ignore the next sentence.

Finance companies with a “database” is a gigantic flat file?

This is exactly right.

I was guilty of copy and pasting from Stack Exchange to meet deadlines.

The only thing I would add is complaining that colleges don’t really teach coding for the real world and all boot camps are a waste of time and money unless that’s the most effective way you can learn.

The Palma was one of my top choices but I was thinking it might be a little small for me. It is one of the better looking devices.

I didn’t even think getting a used Kindle. New Kindle prices seem a little high for getting a locked system, so a used one is probably the most cost effective method.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Oh… I didn’t know that. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi. Thank you for the info.

I am looking for a new e-reader. Is there any reason why I should buy a Kindle and jailbreak it rather than get a PineNote, SuperNote, Nook device, Boox device, or a Kobo Libra?

Or would you recommend something else?

It is. That’s actually really cool.

But if they do start including ads, why would advertisers use a less effective and accurate platform than Google Maps?

Either they change or their ad placements are cheaper.

If they aren’t maximizing profits then why put ads at all? It’s not like they are losing profits.

Looks like we are both skeptical about those technologies. “All you have to do is turn off locations… on a maps app… that’s privacy!”

Apple claimed Apple Maps was created because Apple wanted to protect its users from Google Maps’ data hoarding. We assume Apple is already hoarding data but now to be able to compete with other advertisement platforms Apple, would have to share that data with advertisers.

One step forward, two steps back.

Typography geek here.

If you enjoy watching about type in NYC, I recommend the documentary Helvetica (2007). Even though it has its biases (I mean which documentary doesn’t), I enjoyed it.

This is great! Thank you.

I tried searching for this but only found recent news. Anywhere I can read about this? Wikipedia, article, or book?

I love tech history.

Well in the Social Network movie and chapter 2 of the Accidental Billionaires, Mark Zuckerberg used wget in shell scripts to get copyrighted images for private servers.

Can we give punish him?
