The refresh token is often going to be good for a week, even if the access token isn't.

> at some point credentials will pass to your llm of the week. How?

No they don't - you're still giving the agent a static token that can be exfiltrated and used elsewhere.

17-bit distributed a lot of redistributable stuff - in this case it's listed as disk 1423 in their collection

Nor was it in the final versions of Maemo, if you want to be pedantic.

"The way Apple destroyed the competition was by creating so much hype around their product that they could demand concessions from carriers" is very easy to read as people buying i…

The Maps experience on the iPhone was sufficiently better than on any other platform that it was justification in itself for many people to buy one. But you're also massively under…

Oh, come on. Yes, compared to any modern device the iPhone was a piece of shit (no cut and paste when shipped? No 3G?), but as someone who owned a high end S60 device at the time, …

The N900 was never really intended to be a mass market device, more something to attract enthusiast excitement and serve as a reasonable developer platform - so in that respect it …

And no multitouch.

GTK wasn't a first class citizen in Meego.

The N9 shipped when it did because the teams working on the successor project had been pulled back to support the N9, and Elop arrived to find a company betting its future on a new…

The N900 shipped two years after the iPhone while still having a resistive touchscreen. In the story of Nokia resisting Apple and Android it's basically irrelevant - it's part of t…

This gets you code execution in the kernel, at which point sandboxing is irrelevant.

My understanding is that it's not so much that the novelisation is of the director's cut, but that the people writing them are typically working from (at best) the shooting script …

You say that, and also remote attestation is how Signal knows it's talking to a legitimate SGX enclave running the expected payload

Isn't that lower than a purely resistive heater?

As someone with experience (albeit almost 20 years out of date) experience of wet lab DNA collection and sequencing - this stuff is hard, you will fail a lot, and you will fail a l…

We're talking about the equivalent of booting with init=/bin/sh, I don't remember kernel init on x86 ever being that slow

ARM isn't consistent in the way that the x86 platform is. Each vendor's SoC usually requires specific support.

"Quality" is maybe overloaded. Upstream requires the code to meet their sense of taste, and some of that is about quality, and some of that is about undocumented design concepts. I…

Linux tries to avoid special cases. That means that when someone shows up with a new driver that's either not something that fits into an existing category, or which sort of (but d…

If you've ever been developing software for a Mac for any length of time and searched for a weird error, there's an extremely high probability you've ended up on a post written by …

My coworkers like to complain that searching for anything they're working on leads them to either old blog posts written by me, or (if they're currently working on MacOS issues) po…

There's US1549 and FR4102 - are there any others? But yes, the assumption about failures being independent is obviously violated by large flocks of birds, although this has also re…
