The original research project this company looks based on was very cool and way early: https://sandlab.cs.uchicago.edu/jammer/

I'm super excited to try your service and the KiCad plug-in to move supply-chain dialogue closer to point-of-creation makes a TON of sense. That and the speed seem to be the two po…

That is actually what my company built. The primary purpose was for encrypted messaging, but it also acted as secrets store and password manager. The great thing about it being bui…

Good stuff! If I remember correctly there was company at Defcon selling memory cards that had this feature built into them a couple years ago?

The wonderful thing about our current culture is that each side thinks that further empowering the federal government is the solution. And it will only be used by their side agains…

I can't agree with this enough and yet I think the long term danger is masked by the current problems for the majority of voters. I'm not hopeful.

If I remember correctly, ADP and the other big payroll processors sell your income data, as do many of the finance apps that get access to your bank account data. They also have yo…

Is a partial collision an indicator that it could be broken? The "we broke it" seems an exageration, but maybe that's a failure of my understanding.

yes, because the last century of communism showed that it was really just capitalism where centralized power corrupts..

If your threat model is the NSA, moving to non-US providers actually lowers the barrier as they no longer have to deal with the US constitution and US citizen data. If your threat …

A sort of related question, is the user able to actually power-off the baseband carrier chip and still keep the phone powered on? I seem to recall there being some 911 regulations …

You don't need an ID to buy a SIM in UK? I remember not needing one a long time ago but in recent years was asked for one.. maybe not a law? irregularly applied?

I think the regulations have some loopholes for domestic use, but one I don't know how they can really get around is for international roaming, as other countries have far stricter…

Good luck! It's a tough sell and some people won't accept that there are people from the defense sector that really care about the Constitution. Transparency is proly your best fri…

This is an very user-powerful feature. WHY the fuck would they disable it? It basically gives you two buffers, middle click for dynamic selection-paste. repetitive-chunks of text c…

Last time I played with Moremicro they didn't work with real 802.11s and had some hokey proprietary hierarchal tree topology that required a main basestation gateway. ad-hoc, peer-…

I live in Chicago and it is a BIG city. I've seen, in real life, none of this. But the online reports are legion. I think, like a lot of things, you can choose what reality you wan…

I'm confused, is the assertion here that this is the first time silicon valley tech people and their companies got involved in partisan politics? Is it really short memory or selec…

No, most don't. I've used that approach in the past for privacy and in recent years most services started blocking it with no alternatives.

The easiest, fastest way to hack this together would be a raspberry pi zero with a display hat. It'd be chunky, but it would keep all the TOTP shared secrets off of other less reli…

I'm a bit confused.. are people suggesting that the poor pay in the EU is a _good_ thing? These aren't lawn maintenance or car mechanics here. We're talking about saving peoples li…

I have taken to appending "DO NOT START WRITING CODE." to almost every prompt.. I try to get it to analyze and ask questions and summarize what its going to do first, and even then…

This is such an important distinction that gets lost so often...

Graphene has been the best alternative I've found so far.

yeah, had no idea what that word jumble was meant to convey..
