    In almost all cases they will work, just slowly. There's always some power, and almost always some data (power-without-data cables exist, but they're very rare, mostly a specialist…

    > A USB-C cable should be a USB-C cable should be a USB-C cable. This would completely defeat the point. There is a range of needs for cables. Some devices have simple needs for po…

    Trusted staged publishing helps a lot: you have to independently pwn the workflow _and_ then complete a separate 2FA flow as a maintainer. The workflow never sees any keys that can…

    They are allowed to set caps, I've seen them down to around €5000 per transaction so it's not literally all transfers. Still free to transfer above, just takes more than a few seco…

    There's a compatibility list at https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compa... . I think the challenges here exist but the reality is overblown to be honest, the v…

    I mean sure, I'm not intending this to be quoted in a court, honestly I would say all my online comments are irrelevant phrases! That said - it is their business, they're broadly w…

    Never used them, but I ran into https://incogni.com/ yesterday. It's a paid service, they track data brokers datasets (I assume they just act as a buyer for as many as they can) an…

    Some scepticism here I see, but personally I think this is spot-on. I've been keen on a dumber phone for a while, but losing whatsapp & maps makes it a non-starter for any real use…

    It's lower than it sounds: this time includes even relatively gentle exercise (a brisk walk) and although it's not explicit here most other uses of similar metrics I've seen genera…

    Wero does have recurring payments planned too (apparently for end of 2026), seems like they're well aware of PIX and racing hard to get into exactly the same space.

    This is begging for anti-competitive investigations, surely? It's explicit collusion between the largest mobile makers and key app-based services (e.g. gov services, communication …
