The FBI has just confirmed by releasing its internal guidelines governing its queries of FISA data that it can search through Americans’ communications without a warrant. https://t.co/XHsxVI5oIF

Privacy is hard. In this case the secure OS should just sinkhole the request or spoof a response back to the XTRA daemon to make it happy.

If this was a Chinese phone or chip people would be going ballistic. Qualcomm chips phone home over unencrypted HTTP even without Android OS.

@Cannibal Exactly! That's what makes it fun.

@Cannibal Those pictures make it look to clean in there. It wasn't always so.. 🤸‍♀️

@Esper_Lily @sumanthmee @David3141593 This is deceptively cheeky, but actually a good solution if you want to be lazy about comparisons (e.g. spot checking beginning & end)!

@jhewitt_net @Cannibal Well that's one way to get thermal relief for desoldering... 🤔

@JosiahBruner What languages are supported as the input fir first-party codebase?

@Cannibal Had time and energy this weekend! Tried out a ridiculous pruning blade to break down fallen limbs from an ice storm a couple months back. Planted some MI natives. Changed out our old rotten sink faucet.

While reading 125kHz RFID cards Flipper Zero detects the proper protocol and modulation of the card automatically. To support the maximum number of card vendors, Flipper Zero switches reader protocols in a loop. 🔄 There are two modulation types in 125 kHz RFID — Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) and Phase Shift Keying (PSK).

❗️Remember that you should hold the card still while Flipper Zero is detecting its protocol. Circle animations indicate each phase of card detection.⏳ Wait until both steps are finished while reading the card. #flipperzero #rfid #flipperzerotutorials

Chip repackaging project "Second Production" (scaling up) debrief. Earlier I posted some preliminary ideas of how to quickly and gently decap a large number of chips. What did I settle on?

[zeynep tufekci @zeynep]

People should put aside assumptions and read this stellar investigative report by @alisonannyoung—one of the very few journalists doing the work of real journalism on the topic of biosafety.

Yeah, that's a lab safety failure with an engineered H5N1 strain, December of 2019. UW.

Remember how you used to be able to get cheap office chairs and like monitors and stuff when the latest Valley bubble went burst and startups had to liquidate?

Same thing still happens, only now it's semi trucks that never drove themselves:
