News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

This is honestly one of the most appealing WFH spaces I've ever seen. MDF desk tops aside (I would've gone with cherry), I love this. I'm gonna need to steal the idea with the central switch board and look into industrial shelves...
A click on “Cobalt on partner site”, the second link on the page, leads to a 404. Great job guys.
Even with Google Play Services working, there's a much more difficult underlying issue that makes for a rather unpleasant user experience with banking apps: SafetyNet Attestation/Play Integrity/CTS profiles/whatever other names there are for it.

I remember that ages ago I had to use Magisk and a finnicky Xposed module on my phone to be able to get past the root protection my banking app had. I'll be honest, these days I just don't have the mental energy for those sorts of fights anymore.

It should be noted that non-vendorlocked 7282s can be had for as little as 80 bucks on eBay. Bought one just a few weeks ago. Lovely piece of silicon.

Unfortunately MKDEV announced their retirement last year. FIFA 23 was their last release.

Ever since you wrote that blog article about the potential options for a programmable smart watch I’ve been looking forward to its sequel. Now I have to ask, did the Wena 3/Pro turn out to be a waste of money?
Great read! As someone who has spent a good chunk of time looking at FairPlay code in the past, it was interesting to follow someone else’s chain of thought :)

They do not share a file format. If you look at the GitHub repo for this site (https://github.com/magcius/noclip.website) you will find parsers, etc. for every single game.

Not as of right now, but I could put it on GitHub. It's essentially just a front end for the Gandi.net email management API. Manually editing the alias list gets cumbersome really quickly.

The most recent incident I remember was with a debrid service. I opened a ticket with their support and was told that the point of the policy was to combat abuse of their service. Not entirely sure why a paid service that accepts cryptocurrencies would care about email addresses.

I'm doing the exact same thing. Built a small web app that lets me manage all my email aliases for the domain. Unfortunately there are a couple of websites that do only allow a select list of whitelisted domains meaning I cannot use my own, but for the other 99% it works wonders. I wish I had had this idea ten years ago, it would have saved me so many headaches.
