@travisdh1 said in Some Android Devices Susceptible to Wifi Hack:

@mlnews Huh, the news story I saw on that sounded like anything using a Broadcom chipset was vulnerable, which means a lot more devices than just Android and Apple.

Anything using a specific chipset. Not sure if anything outside of phones uses that one.

All of Rochester would be considered in the border zone according to that map.

I guess I get to deal with random search and seizures by CBP agents.

Not legally.

I know, just in regards to the way that CBP agents are portrayed.

@travisdh1 Basically.

For me it is what installed without incident. No issues at all on my Asus RoG that nothing else would install on. He isn't my first pick, but it is quite adequate.

FTFY

And it's what she said. 😛

for direct experience (5 year development of small/medium apps in python) I can say that the qt approach is far superior.
I've used briefly gtk2, wxwidgets and I've settled with qt.

The signal/slot stuff per se is a winner!

We had a thread yesterday.

Missed it. Been busy at work.

That is just annoying. . . honestly. I hope the big parties counter sue and win.

Screw Louisiana Tech

That's disappointing..

They focus on game dev, not hardware dev.

That's debatable.

true.

IMO, they fail to do enough with their IP. But their RPG games tend to be well developed solid titles.

This new Zelda game is supposed to be fantastic. I wasn't a big fan of Skyward Sword or Twilight Princess so I'm not sure I would really like this one.

@RojoLoco I wasn't trying to go down that route, @scottalanmiller went there.

I agree, he's broken mentally and likely needs help. The rational for discussing it is I'm sure these kinds of things will occur more often as AI advances.

Which begs the question, can you marry property?

@JaredBusch said in Manageyum - A Single App for All Your Web Apps:

Not a new idea. there is already something like this I have looked at on Windows and maybe Mac, cannot recall. It was a neat idea, but the end result was bad.

Not all services have API access or are designed to allow third party access to feeds. Those systems are basically the web interface simply wrapped inside a tab of the application.

Would you be talking about Franz (http://meetfranz.com/) ?

Yes, that is the one.

Quiet honestly it looks like there is a market for an ISP that will promise not to sell your data.

Comcast has promised.

I don't understand why they didn't do it like the Lumia 950xl... iris scanner. Infrared to light up the eyes, another to take the pic.

they also have it! fingerprint, face, iris, pin, sequence... they only miss the list of things in your fridge 😛

Then how can a regular picture fool it? Seems like a software issue and not hardware.

I mean: you can either auth yourself via face or any other solution. Samsung AFAIK doesn't implement so named pure biometric 2 factor-auth. You have just to avoid face and fingerprint (as it is too close to camera). just use iris or sequence/pin...

I own a xiaomi redmi 4 and to be honest rear-fingerprint scanners are a bit of a pain... I alternate fingerprint to sequences...
