Good read about a #hacker #spam group tied to a #software #company that accidentally put their legit business credentials in when applying for rogue #domains https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/09/fudc..
Insanity, what is the point on working on faster and faster #software and #operatingsystems if the bloody #keyboard itself adds ridiculous #latency for no apparent reason? https://danluu.com/keyboard-latency/ This is why we need more #affordable #opensource #keyboards ... After this #phd I will definitely be looking into creating my own #hardware - the current situation simply won't be tolerated.
Another set of #opensource #hardware #lowtech #ar #goggles https://hackaday.com/2021/09/02/a-microc.. I want a #devkit ! Get them in the hands of #hackers to write #software for!
Haha this piece of #software #detects when #ci #tests are being run and automatically adjusts to enable tests to pass: https://github.com/auchenberg/volkswagen What's better is they named it ' #volkswagen ' after the #emissions scandal some years back, where the car would detect it was being tested and adjust its emissions to pass tests.
A *very* glowing review of #jingos running on the #jingpad https://tuxphones.com/jingpad-a1-linux-t.. I'm genuinely impressed, I was initially extremely #sceptical that a new player would come in and do such a great job. They must have a serious #hardware and #software team behind this project!
Well damn, a pretty smart #exploit for #kindle #touch devices just by opening up a #ebook https://research.checkpoint.com/2021/i-c.. For all you know, books have contained this on the #amazon #store for quite some time... Writing #secure #software is insanely tough!
Working on an #encryption #article for #coffeespace - it's taking quite a while though. The #math and the #software are not quite matching up, in theory it should be possible to derive #privatekeys with just the #encrypted data using a #securityflaw - just need to prove it!
Ouch, I never thought I would be using my original #amazon #kindle long enough to realise that a wanted feature (at the time of purchase) would actually be one I actively tried to avoid: https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/28/22598.. Luckily mine only runs on #wifi and surprisingly still receives #software #updates even today!
Honestly I'm surprised the #nsa doesn't just give people #lockeddown #smart #phones in the first place: https://media.defense.gov/2020/Jul/28/20.. You *cannot* trust humans to not make mistakes. It would be better to have a text/voice only #encrypted device with limited functionality. #software #updates could be handled in person with #id #verification - but of course they will never do this as politicians would get upset.
Interesting, #microsoft #windows #defender is marking a #keygen #software as #malicious https://www.arch13.com/ms-windows-defend.. More specifically it overrides any exclusion list and even deletes the #source code to the program! Seems the Windows #antivirus is actually enforcing #copyright - rather than protecting users from #threats of #viruses and the like.
Now having #networking troubles in #ubuntu ... It looks *very* similar to those seen on the #pinetab - so my thinking is to try a fresh install on there to see how it goes. 100% on my Ubuntu machine at least it's just a #software issue of some type. Fingers crossed I can bring the #wifi back to life on that glorious little #tablet
