This is just basic “undergrad pads word count” strategy.

Look at that!

A few nights in French jail worked wonders.

Throw a device from s series into a fire as a spot check and if it burns it’s ok, if it explodes give the entire series to your enemy’s kids to play with.

Most high explosives burn unless detonated properly.

This is really basic stuff. I don’t think you should be out and about giving people advice about handling (potential) explosives.

Hah, I had kids in the low-res era. By the time 4K rolled along they were already teenagers in the “put the camera away, dad” stage ;)

What are you guys storing in your phones? Mine hasn’t gotten anywhere close to full in years.

I’m starting to feel like I’m missing out on something important!

Look at that! We both win!

I generally think Satya is a fairly decent guy.

Microsoft is still a fucking shit show, but still.

Furries keep the Internet running. Anger them at your peril.

Please do! I’ve been trying to make it stick for almost a decade!

The hackers just engaged in a little bit of technical debt collecting ;)

Actual degrees or American fantasy units?

He works really really hard ;)

Blame cheap-ass management for that, not MS. It was only ever meant for home and student use.

I guess making sure NEW CUSTOMERS CAN’T GET THEIR DATA INTO YOUR HIGH END PRODUCTIVITY SUITE is just good business then?

No, this was typical 1990s “we don’t need to make good decisions because we’re a monopoly” Microsoft.

Atlassian isn’t really a household name for 99% of the population.

They are on the file system in /private/var/mobile/Media, and no, they are not accessible using the file app. Apple, what can you do ;)

Yes, that’s the successor document. You can also use the old iPhone 4 era iOS security guide, the file system details are not a fast moving target. The addition of the Secure Enclave changes things a bit.

Anyway, the idea is that data only hits disk encrypted with a per-file key that is stored with the directory information. When you delete a file, the key is obliterated, rendering the deleted data unrecoverable from block storage. The explanation proffered by the journalist that data isn’t really deleted when you delete it from disk, doesn’t hold. Because it is. Or at least the key to it.

A more likely explanation is spare copies either in the cloud or on the device not getting cleaned up. But deleted files on iOS are proper gone.

The iOS security guide, for example?

It’s a fascinating document.

To be fair, I’m starting to fear that all the fun bits of human jobs are the ones that are most easy to automate.

I dread the day I’m stuck playing project manager to a bunch of chat bots.

You should see 52% of the first version of my code.

It doesn’t have to be right to be useful.
