They leave the Boeing and Soyuz up there, then when it’s time, gas 'em up and have them act as controlled thrusters. Everything burns up in the atmosphere. All problems solved.

Saves them $800M and change.

Many years ago, folks figured out how to crack firmware and find embedded keys. Since then, there have been many technological advances, like secure enclaves, private/public key workflows, attestation systems, etc. to avoid this exact thing.

Hopefully, the Rabbit folks spec’d a hardware TPM or secure-enclave as part of their design, otherwise no amount of firmware updating or key rotation will help.

There’s a well-established industry of Android crackers and this sort of beating will keep happening until morale improves.

Looked like it happened right after takeoff. Can’t imagine what it would be like an hour away from an airstrip at 5000 ft.

Also, fortunate not to get hit in the face by insects when near ground. Have seen it happen to passengers in convertibles going 60. No fun.

Good to see proliferation of presence detectors. Good for turning things off when nobody is around.

In my last job I got to play a bit with the SeeedStudio mmWave presence box. What was interesting (and a little confusing) was that it took multiple add-on boards for things like on-device fall detection (for elderly). For the time I had with it, it worked fine with HA: https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/mmwave_radar_Intro/

Some Costcos still have them. Used to send checks and cash to the back office once they hit a limit. Guessing not so much any more.

Phones have had accelerometer/gyros for a while now. Problem with pinpointing one’s location is how to get a starting fix and how to deal with drift and loss of signal.

The way devices have dealt with it is to periodically confirm and baseline with a satellite fix.

If this method does away with all that, it could remove the reliance on overhead signals and those trying to jam them in hostile zones.

Pretty cool. Lots of potential.

Was waiting for Nio to make it state-side. Now, not so sure they will be allowed.

On the Mac, I can run MacOS, BSD Unix, and via VMware, Windows and Ubuntu.

On phone/tablet, I can build an app that works on every mobile device of that class shipped in the last 6 years.

On Windows and Android, I have to test apps across a massive combination of features, and even then, there are some with strange configurations that will break the app.

Reminds me of project CHIP: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIP_(computer)

Hooefully, with better economics.

I bet they forgot to rig the webcams, microphones, seat weight sensors, and infrared desk presence trackers.

Is this like people offering to pay artists with ‘exposure?’

They could make Siri change its voice and Genmoji based on the degree of certainty of the response:

• Trust me: Arnold as Terminator 😎
• Eehhhh, could be bullshit: shrugging old man meme 🤷🏻‍♂️
• Just kiddin’ here: whacky Jerry Lewis 🤪

They could sell different voice packages. Revive the ringtone market.

My needle on my BS-meter just snapped off.

Somebody starts streaming VR porn on the same cell network. Latency drops to a second. Patient flatlines.

The future is here.

Wait. Am I getting this right? They want to inject high-pressure steam and chemicals into a massive underground natural gas reservoir. Then set off a big fire + explosion.

Surely, nothing can go wrong.

Downloadable topo maps for a Mac? How are you supposed to view them while hiking? 🤔

Given the amount of money they’re looking for, guessing it’s for the unreleased products in the pipeline and their patents. Anyone who buys them is not purchasing their v1 product.
