    Most of the ones with a "date posted" in Jan 2026 have a "date of notice" two to five months ago.

    Lots of custom infrastructure. A bit of losing money as well, but moderately profitable on the whole. They were a publicly traded company in their own right from 2021 to 2025, so y…

    The BusinessInsider story is as much as you're going to get right now, because Bending Spoons is declining to provide specifics, and those just let go aren't free to tell all. But …

    In a parallel universe, they switched to RFC6979 in 2013, but the implementation had a bug that wasn't detected for years, allowing compromise of lots of keys. In that parallel uni…

    For normal people... pretty much nothing. You need power to keep the plasma hot, it's a safety hazard, and it's not cheap. For electrically-small antennas it looks like it might be…

    Oh, did this just launch today? That's funny, I thought I only noticed it today. In any case, I'm using it already. I was going to build SAML into this app that we have deployed on…

    Which is a disingenuous answer since he's not even using the SDK. The ChromeCast at least notionally supports an open protocol (DIAL). Only it doesn't, because if you try to use it…

    It's not "iMessage for Android users" in any way. The headline is nonsense. If your browser is closed or your PC is shut down, MightyText does nothing for you. The browser interfac…
