Funny enough on how the industry has taken free-software and its 'open-source' derived ideas for granted and they have all originated from the FSF and its founder RMS. But when social media …

For those extreme enough who don't want to be vulnerable to this BootROM vulnerability should probably buy or exchange their current iPhone for a refurbished iPhone XR or later at this point if y…

I'm not sure why I or anyone would need 'Chromium Edge' on Linux. It is essentially Chromium + IE + Telemetry and MS branded lipstick which is 10 steps back in terms of privacy. No than…

That's not a jailbreak, its just a demonstration of verbose boot on a iPhone X running iOS 13.1.1 Nice try, OP.

Well the UK lacks in finding this 'talent' so much that they resort into extreme measures such as using horrible tools like this. If that wasn't enough, this AI is by a company called H…

I agree, but unfortunately, end-users just want to buy products that just work without fiddling around with settings, etc. The HN audience and generally programmers are usually pro-Linux which makes s…

>Research shows the UK needs 21,000 more computer science graduates on average, every year, to meet the demands of the digital economy. This contradicts with most of the Amazon Software engineering…

Yes that's possible and it is anonymous. I've clarified this in the edited post.

Thanks for your clarification, I edited this post.

This is essentially a worrying prospect if these developments are actually implemented or advance further. The users trust in the social media service is breached if a backdoor where to be placed in t…

Well this is what happens when people use cancel culture on anyone that they disagree with, especially career twitter archaeologists who dig up old tweets and put them out of context. The result? A pi…

Perhaps you wouldn't need to buy another separate Android device, since a iPhone dual-booting Android could make it the best supported Android device since the Pixel.

Other than dual-booting Android on the iPhone, I fail to see any other credibly useful reason to run the Linux kernel or some Linux distro on an iDevice. To each to their own I guess.

I haven't seen news like this in years since Geohot (founder of comma.ai) found the limera1n BootROM exploit for iPhone 4 and below. With this recent addition, we can have more freedom and contro…

In regards to being the first phone that actually respects your privacy, this is great to see. However, the scrolling inertia and animations + user interface on the screen isn't as smooth as it s…

Judging from the 1.38.0 changelog, this one looks like a fairly toned-down Rust release. Nevertheless, bug-fixes and performance improvements as usual. I think I'm going to skip this one until th…

Perhaps this is the best news that has happened for those who missed this year's dip. The author has just answered his own question in this article. > I’ll be buying the dip but not in a hurry…

I won't be surprised if this gets flagged or suppressed for discussion anyway. But the grandparent has a point and isn't wrong...

Well she herself was right in one thing: She should still be in school and not radicalized by climate change activists and they should know better not to use children like this. While yes, climate cha…

Labour and other party members knew this was a trap. But the real reason they abstained is they wanted to truly rule out a no-deal brexit plan and also to further scrutinize the government. Boris is n…

> This is exactly what should have been called weeks ago, yet there is resistance from Labour. Well Labour and other party members abstained from a proposal from the prime minster to hold an electi…

Like Go, Crystal embeds the runtime inside of the executable by default so it doesn't require the user to install the language runtime libraries on the users computer unlike Java, C#, etc. The on…

> Please update your Crystal and report any issues. We will keep moving forward and start the development focusing on 0.32. There is potential in Crystal but the most terrifying thing about using i…

Well according to the current climate change crisis, that's one less airliner heating up the planet. This sacrifice is perhaps a benefit to saving the planet anyway. Fantastic news for climate ch…

Looks like the IPO delay has caused a back-firing to the CEO. According to him, it's more like MeWork.
