I don’t see this mentioned anywhere but Safari on iOS already does this. If you try to access a local network endpoint you’ll be asked to allow it by Safari, and the permission is …

Marketing is the manipulation of people for gain. Sounds like a great fit for AI.

yep. This is HN’s biggest flaw.

ah this takes me back. Thanks ;)

I dunno about lying; it used to be true in the Intel age so it might simply be a matter of their information being out of date.

imo the perfect small laptop has to have full-size keys and thus be at least ~11x5". That rules out all iPads below the 12.9" due to their tall aspect (even in landscape). The 11" …

From the title I wasn't sure if they were even found

The article mentions the display controller runs an Apple OS so I could see there being a secure way for an exclave to call into it for the onscreen indicators. I would expect that…

heh my friend and I (young teens at the time) used to wire photoresistors into the analog in pins on the joy port. We put the sensors in toilet paper tubes on one side of a hallway…

I’ve been full-timing it on iOS lately and yeah, pretty buggy. It comes with uBlock but doesn’t seem to work, and neither does bookmark/fave syncing.

Apple software is already largely written my Americans. Somehow I don't think fealty will change its quality.

My first thought was payment to avoid sanctions for being "woke" (read: anti-discrimination)

Yes Apple controls the device so you're right, you can never be sure what it's doing. My thinking is that an encryption backdoor means the key generation algo is compromised. In th…

I don't believe it's the SE itself that encrypts user data so it must already be the case that the key is generated outside the SE, sent to it for storage, and is retrieved if the …

It depends what kind of backdoor the UK is asking for but "encryption backdoor" sounds like cryptographic compromise. I don't know if that's what it means but either way the only w…

Depends what kind of security. Local doesn't help if your house burns down or is robbed.

Apple should start prompting users to enable it.

It only works when the gun nuts aren’t on the side of the oppressors.

> They undermined their own "worldwide" claim, as ADP still works everywhere else, and the UK has no access. Disagree. There is a difference between ADP being unavailable in one co…

IMO the only thing you can have a high level of trust in is your own *nix server. Backup those devices to it then encrypt there before being sent to the cloud.

This is why, while I applaud what Apple is doing here, they need to allow us to supply our own E2E encryption keys.

I’m old enough that, growing up, rotaries would have worked on our phone line but not old enough to have actually had a rotary phone. It did used to cost more for touch tone servic…

I’ve been on the lookout for an old analog phone for something similar but a bit different: Home Assistant can tap into a VOIP box and provide voice AI to it so I want to have a ph…
