Hey mozilla please secure your websites :

your own advice : https://observatory.mozilla.org/analyze/ssl-config.mozilla.o...

Modern advice from a Government related website: http://internet.nl/site/ssl-config.mozilla.org/557182/

(maybe dont host security related advice like this on github)

I look forward to you updating to your own standards...

exactly, this looks like the protocol has been intentionally weakened to provide on the wire access. (state actors / telco)

The excuse that they dont want to sign up to the Terms and Conditions holds no water

If they are serious about security adopt OpenID in full (they dont have to join just pass the tests) and put fido2 security key functionality on every Apple device

Apple have made some smart moves but now the marketing dept need to do the right thing for security standards.

UV sensor was really the only thing that drew me to the Microsoft Band

may I ask who the supplier of your sensor was in the end ?

Literally I cant find a Valid reason why Bluetooth is not used...

claiming that you could pair with the "soundbar rather than your smartphone" is frankly silly

apple I would have hoped would adopt a security standard rather than charging a MFI fee

raw sensor access matters, so does calibration

you can see some characteristics of devices here: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/sensors/gnss

Its relatively simple to jam GNSS signals since they are so weak.

QZSS is a interesting formation since it is designed for urban environment (skyscrapers and canyons)

The USA has no solution for shipping positioning outside of GPS...
