>Hardware security very often relies on “security through obscurity”, and it is much more difficult to reverse-engineer than software, but this is a flawed approach, because sooner or later, all secrets are revealed. The later works when

I restarted my phone because I thought my network was down blindly believing HN can never be down. Then I opened another website and realised this is one of those times that the website was actually down.

A lot of 4G modems connected via pcie still are USB interfaces internally. So the usb 2.0 limits on these are still there (though that is not much of a problem in general as 4G speeds are low). With 5G if you connect to a usb3 port for teth

Almost nobody cares about saving batteries. Those are replaceable and cheap to replace every couple of years. Innovating more battery life and leaving 20% battery life on the table sounds extremely pointless for what costs 20-30$ a year but

I have always felt there has been a learning curve for Go and Rust when it comes to syntax for me. I have used C C++ Java and Python and PHP for a long time but whenever I start Go or Rust, over time I lose interest thinking this is too com

Not true. I live in India and have traveled to smaller villages in the south and some in the north. People have started to avoid cash altogether because of few reasons. They do have UPI they just don’t like it cause they like cash. There is

this is a very common chip that’s sold everywhere for as low as 4$ for that entire dongle at retail. If you touch the controller, at full speed it gets crazy hot on this one. The part I struggled with was that I was trying to install openwr

Agreed. I think just like everyone in this world, they hired aggressively when money and contracts were there and firing now that it's slowed down. Majority of their networking has been from Alcatel Lucent over which they built their o

A lot of 5G deployments shifted to Nokia after Huawei ban and Nokia also dominates a lot of GPON FTTH deployments for end to end solutions.

I am not saying they shouldn't retain data. I am saying they should allow me to delete the account which they did until some time ago. I checked the laws linked and it doesn't say anywhere you can't delete the account. So for

I thought so too. I was able to delete a Square Cash account a few years ago when I was in US and they gave the same explanation that we are required by law to maintain records for some time. However, they did delete my account. I do not be

They did allow it previously. They no longer do. I wanted to close it because I don’t want people to find me on GPay and make payments or ask to. It’s become inconvenient as I use a different UPI method. Just because a few don’t care doesn’

Can confirm the hardware vendor that I work for does the same. root password is given and customers are asked to change. No one wants to. Heck I would prefer if they disabled root login completely and used keys instead. But thats now it is.

The intel stack is more mature right now as someone pointed out in the comments above. Down the road AMD will get better with better drivers and newer chips. If wifi speeds matter to someone and they are upgrading from an older intel board

> To prove that IPv6 is ready for production use No one is debating it's not ready for production use. It's just that it's a lot easier to configure clients in dual stack than do a 6 to 4 translation.

Positive or negative ? Positive comments don’t generate interaction. If a comment was positive I’d like and move on not comment. Negative comments in the other had generate a lot of interaction. If I was to guess, Google as a marketing comp

A while back I stumbled upon google chromes privacy settings and found things like serial port on your computer to be accessed by websites. Turns out google has thrown everything in the mix because they probably want their 'Chromebook&

My thoughts too. A bug existed, the maintainer looked at a contribution and as the maintainer picked the best solution which happened to be his own solution. That’s how the kernel community works. The community picks what’s best for the ker

FaceID data is stored in the front module. Can’t swap it else anyone can unlock your phone with a swapped FaceID module. LiDAR not sure what’s happening.

Out of those million email clients, probably less than 50 are regularly maintained with good support. And I am probably exaggerating the number 50. Could be single digits.

Very helpful and interesting guide. OpenWRT (what I use) also allows such interfacing using config files. It’s Linux anyway though.

Here in India my iPhone 13 has delivered me gigabit speeds. And it's not just me my friends also get those speeds at times (early morning usually when networks aren't busy). So the iPhone supports well over gigabit speeds on 5G al

I didn't realise the URL shortener part. Slipped my mind that I could have just pasted the original anandtech link instead.
