We chose to write our platform for product security analytics (1) with PHP, primarily because it still allows us to create a platform without bringing in over 100 dependencies just to render one page.

I know this is a controversial approach, but it still works well in our case.

"require": { "php": ">=8.0",

        "ext-mbstring": "*",

        "bcosca/fatfree-core": "3.9.1",

        "phpmailer/phpmailer": "6.9.3",

        "ruler/ruler": "0.4.0",

        "matomo/device-detector": "6.4.7" }

Ah yes PHP, the language known for its strong security...

Can't tell if joking, healthcare is essentially a luxury now. An organ transplant could very likely lead to someone becoming destitute.

That just goes to show how big the rift in the western world has grown. I'm European, so to me healthcare is not a luxury no.

Meh, flying is a luxury. We can all stay put until the government pulls its head out of its ass.

Zagitta · 2 months ago

Planes transport more things than people, like organs for transplants. Are those a luxury too?

If I'm reading this correctly, the author hasn't actually interacted with any of this "debug logic" (and doesn't even describe what it is), but is inferring that it must be active based on some log messages which mention debugging or which display diagnostic output. None of the log messages implicate a "hardware flaw"; it's not clear that any of them are even abnormal.

The report looks like AI slop. This is a meaningless waste of time.

Calling it slop is generous, it's straight up hallucinations

I think you’re overlooking Garmin who has a healthy business in smart watches and they’re compatible with Apple devices.

Edit : more up to date and useful comments thankfully below

As someone who has a garmin watch and switched from android to iOS I can tell you it's exactly as crippled as the article spells out. So if anything garmin has a healthy smartwatch business in spite of apple trying their hardest to choke competition.

Maybe Rust needs another type of reference that's exclusive write only? Right now there's RO (&T) and exclusive RW (&mut T) but WO is missing.

Having a WO reference would allow these read_buf APIs to express they only write and never read so the uninitialized memory is safe to pass directly.

The dependency hell issue is not directly related to Rust. The Rust language can be used without using any dependency. Have you banned javascript and python too?

Zagitta · a year ago

And in a similar vein have they audited the runtimes of all the languages they use? Because those a dependencies too and in many ways even more critical than libraries.

Zagitta commented on Pico 2 and RP2350 launch with choice of ARM or RISC-V raspberrypi.com/products/... · Posted by u/jaustin

Zagitta · a year ago

It seems like a really strange choice to me that they made the arm and riscv cores mutually exclusive in each core complex since this just wastes die space on the core you're not using which in turn drives up the cost.

I feel like it would've been preferable if they either went all in on riscv or at least made it so all 4 cores could be used at the same time.

But if I were to guess the performance of the riscv cores probably doesn't match the ARM cores so they weren't confident enough in shipping a pure riscv SoC like espressif does.

Any other guesses as to why they might've gone this route?

Orrr just buy a domain and get a wildcard LE cert? All of the benefits, none of the hassle, and no subdomain leaking.

I don’t think Apple’s pettiness is gonna work in their favor.

I am not in the EU but my next iPhone is almost certainly not gonna be an iPhone despite me having used a non iPhone for about 6 months in the last 15 years.

Their throwing their customers under the bus just to throw a tantrum in the EU does not bode well for how they would treat their customers in other situations.

Zagitta · 2 years ago

I hope EU comes down HARD on them for trying to pull this shit
