Kinko's I believe was bought out by Fedex. The one near me basically changed names but still offers the same services.

Other than using Shazam, when is this an issue for people? On Zoom or Facetime, the audio connection is almost certainly using an HFP/SCO connection, which is going to downgrade to…

I genuinely don't understand why anyone would be interested in using frameworks on top of JS. None of them can do anything that pure JS can't do (+libraries), they just make it les…

Bluetooth/BLE has the unique problem that you don't own the code on both sides of the wireless tx/rx. In webdev, you have control over client side and server side code and can make…

Interesting. What you say is true, but there is an opposing force. If someone has cash on hand when interest rates spike, they can buy when everyone else has a much harder time get…

>that's why they crank the interest rate through the ceiling. People that are cash heavy could come up quite a bit if left uninhibited Can you clarify?

This is interesting. Never thought about how confusing it would be when banks start playing musical chairs with your mortgage. I do agree that a soft landing is still a recession. …

They also use fuel, rent, and a bunch of other things. So I think it's valid to compare the two.

No one owns the airwaves. If you don't want to pay the SIG fees, simply do not use their logo or name.

Good work putting all this together. Not saying anything is wrong necessarily, but missing part of the picture.

Right, it’s more of a configuration that is being changed. But my point was that this is all above the HCI layer, so at the end of the day it’s related to the specific host-stack i…

Nope

Not really. Just experience

Well that's doable with enough embedded memory, but it will become an issue when you want to sync audio and video. So it really is less of a protocol thing and more of something th…

This article is not about Bluetooth in general, it is a deep dive into the bugs buried within the Android Bluetooth stack. And what the writer is not acknowledging at all is that t…

Getting crazy tides sloshing in and out of the marina every couple minutes here on Oahu.

Wow all of those people seem so miserable. We are so much better off for our technological advancements ;)

The bash script I was talking about simply curls the .txt file from Dropbox, edits/appends it, then curls it back up to Dropbox (overwriting the old copy). Dropbox iOS app allows y…

Funny that we all resort to the same things. I have an almost identical bash script that appends and timestamps each note, but I push it to my Dropbox account using their REST APIs…

>"See the section about "CBC with Counters"." That section is talking about using an incrementing counter as the IV--it doesn't say anything about a PRNG being a bad choice (in thi…

Can you cite some source for why the SHA256 of changing data isn't sufficiently random to be used as the IV?

Agree that it would be significantly easier if you had physical access either of the devices. However, with physical access there are probably even easier attack vectors (e.g. in t…
