    Or even better: turn off the device. Cracking cold/BFU (before first unlock) devices is not supported in many cases by tools like Cellebrite [1]. [1] https://discuss.privacyguides.…

    No idea why the downvotes, these are valid points. I still don’t fully agree with it: 1. There are alternatives to nvidia: these 3 companies are probably developing their own alter…

    According to nvidia’s 2025 annual report [1], 34% of their sales for 2025 comes from just 3 customers. Additionally, they mentioned that customers can cancel purchases with little …

    My favorite east Germany escape stories is the escape is train driver’s Harry Deterling, that just drove the train into wall (which was not fully a wall by then if I understood cor…

    What is up with the name? Edit: Kinkora implies that it has something to do with kinks, at least that was my first impression. My guess is that it means something in another langua…

    I think that reading all of the information from the SSD should “recharge” it in most cases. The SSD controller should detect any bit flips and be able to correct them. However, th…

    Also, FYI for the one person here who uses raw nand flash: run ubihealthd ( https://lwn.net/Articles/663751/ ). It will trigger reads in random areas in flash, and try ti correct a…

    Hopefully it will make Qualcomm behave more like Arduino and not the opposite. Qualcomm is one of the worse companies I have had the pleasure to work with. Their support model is h…

    Tie that chip to a beamformer (silicon labs have a few) and you have a phased array radar, which is a radar that does not move at all (pretty cool in my opinion) Also, 15usd is not…

    I think that while data is a major point here, in my opinion, these are the reasons apps are preferred by developers: 1. Persistence: while websites are very easy to close, deletin…

    The article is a bit strange. While GPS can be used to receive accurate timing (phase correction once per second), for gps less navigation, even a picosecond accurate atomic clock …

    Not like us is pretty new (may 24), not sure any proper llm could have been trained on it. All big openai models know nothing about 2024.

    In my experience in two HW companies that developed their own ASICs (one as a startup and one as a publicity traded company), we never developed any chip fully by ourself. In all o…

    From my experience, the biggest footgun with shared_ptr and multi threading is actually destruction. It is very hard to understand which thread will call the destructor (which is b…
