Bugs and 0days aside, is not the writer's main issue here a communication problem with the Tor project?

Even more is that many schools were suddenly served a huge plate of spaghetti– or a metaphorically similar type of grain– and in a time crunch to understand how to dish it out to their students.

There's an excellent white paper and mitigation proposal from the 2017 PrivacyCon on cross-app tracking via Bluetooth LE, here's the link for any interested;

I recommend Nextcloud as well. For anyone interested but without self-hosting a server, I've had great experience hooking it up with my Disroot (disroot.org) email account which offers 4gb (free) storage.

"Apple says it can authenticate a user using Face ID on their iPhone without turning over any of their personal data to a 3-p company."
So is this feature exclusive to Face ID and iPhone? Would users, Face ID enabled or not, be able to use it with only their iCloud email/ID? And would older iPhone models incapable of FaceID still be eligible?
These may be just questions of a skeptical mind, but I really hope Apple isn't using a pro-user, pro-privacy feature to phase users out of older models.

Admittedly I have 0 familiarity of the internals of a corporate electrical engineering environment, but this is a logically sound idea that in many other industries is standard. OS 10.02, Apache license v. 2, Archer router xyz Rev 02.
What's the limiting factor here in the case of MCAS?

I had a miserable time with the Broadcom drivers as well-- I actually abandoned them completely to instead use an adapter with Ralink driver. No hiccups, let alone crashes, since.

Take something super banal (a mobile fan), give it a blindingly obvious hacker-y feature (USB connectivity), and distribute them among visitors from an adversarial country (the U.S.), and you're going to be hard-pressed to find someone who isn't at least the tiniest bit suspicious,
This is so entirely Spy Device 101 that the payload is likely just entertainment for DPRK officials– watching everyone stress out and tear it apart looking for something malicious.
And that, in and of itself, is pretty damn twisted.

This article doesn't mention that Adam Neumann actually co-founded WeWork with his wife Rebekah Paltrow Neumann(1). Evidently she double majored in Buddhism and business, which is no doubt foundational to their philosophy of a Zuckerberg-level global community symbiosis- or, as she puts it, a "WeWorld".
(1)Rebekah Paltrow as in she's Goop's cousin.

While I don't doubt the legitimacy of the death threats, I can't help but to think Pai is taking advantage of the situation in order to fashion himself as a martyr figure, especially in the eyes of Trump's hyper-reactive base.

The Firefox Focus app for iPhone pushed out an update a few months ago that showed an active clipboard tray below the URL bar, which was shocking and freaky to see.
Anyone know whether the update had added the API or just made it visible? With the desktop browser it's enabled by default, but at least can be disabled through about:config.
