The other explanation besides what Feldman said is that maybe the people in charge are just colossal nincompoops.

This is not mutually exclusive with Feldman’s theory. Nor is it mutually exclusive with the fascists’ strategy working.

None of these problems are going to fix themselves.

With respect, this is more true in this case and Perkins Coie v. Trump than the rest, because Trump has cloaked himself in these two cases with claims of acting to serve national security, an interest the Roberts Court is especially protective of. 1/ @inthehands

They •should• be concerned. Whether enough of them •are•, well….

Roberts will drag his feet to the bitter end, but like you, I’d bet on him ultimately trying to restrain the admin, however weakly. Does that get us to 5 in case after case after case? Not so sure about that.

The image depicts a scene from an animated series featuring a group of characters standing in front of a group of large, menacing dragons. The dragons are diverse in color and design, with a blue dragon on the left, a red dragon in the center, a black dragon with a long neck, a yellow dragon, and a green dragon on the right. The characters are dressed in various outfits, including armor and robes, and appear to be in a battle-ready stance. The background is dark, emphasizing the figures in the foreground. At the bottom of the image, there is text that reads, "Lemme tell you kids what it was like to fight Tiamat back in my day." The overall composition suggests a dramatic confrontation between the characters and the dragons.

I’ve posted a detailed explanation of why the claimed ESP32 Bluetooth chip “backdoor” is not a backdoor. It’s just a poor security practice, which is found in other Bluetooth chips by vendors like Broadcom, Cypress, and Texas Instruments too. darkmentor.com/blog/esp32_non-…
in reply to Xeno Kovah

I don't think your hypothetical "compromised userspace" scenario applies to the ESP32 in any practical usage. These are integrated chips (think "Bluetooth+WiFi+Arduino-on-a-chip") where the the user host code runs on the same chip, I think even in the same address space. So if that is compromised, the Bluetooth side is compromised regardless of the existence of the vendor commands.

In principle you could use an ESP32 as an external Bluetooth controller exposing HCI of course, and then the concern would apply, but I don't know why anyone would do that when dedicated Bluetooth chips designed to be used as HCI dongles exist. And then most of those have the same issues anyway...

Mmm, it finally looks like an electric van with the potential of a camper! Not much practical information here, but another article promises 400 km range, which is something. I doubt it's getting AWD though, and the price is still unknown.

New PebbleOS watches with more battery and familiar looks are up for preorder
Shipping in July and December, with far more battery life and newer chips.

I'm so happy to see this, I absolutely loved my Pebble Time Steel

... But I've also moved on. My Garmin watch is so much more capable and the only thing Pebble offers that I'd miss out on is the interface, which I much prefer over Garmin. Sadly I think I'll pass.

in reply to Ars Technica

That's totally awesome. I have never been able to find a watch again with pebble's unique featureset.

Habe deren Vorgänger beide auf #Kickstarter finanziert gehabt, das waren aber noch Zeiten, zu denen es die #AppleWatch noch nicht gab… In der Zwischenzeit habe ich mich zu stark an die Apple Healt, ApplePay etc. Integration gewöhnt, so das ein Umstieg vermutlich nicht in Frage kommt… Aber so eine Open-Source Smartwatch zum basteln wäre schon auch cool 😀

Just a snapshot of what's going with ICE in Chicago. Beyond the headline, one man, a U.S. citizen, was picked up a couple miles from my house, handcuffed, and held for over 10 hours before being released with no way home. No record of his arrest exists. How many stories like these are there nationwide?

Nobody in my family has ever referred to the road warning sign for roadworks as anything other than than "man having trouble with umbrella" from a spoof version of many signs about 50 years ago. (The rest didn't stick.)

Not even the bumpy road one as "woman fallen over/sunbathing"

Here in #londonontario (#yxu) a girl in a ski-mask set a #Tesla on fire Monday night. Myself, I don't condone these acts of violence on people's personal property - guess she didn't know about the new Tesla building under construction in the city, now that... that could go...
