Upgrades? The modem at work has native ipv6 its not an added feature.
But just to note it is a business line $45/mo 12/1mbps It may have different features than a residential line. We also own the modem which is unheard of on a residential line.
Hmm I haven't checked if I can still do tunnels over ipv4 I don't see why I wouldn't be able to.
Did they give you a nat ipv4 address instead of a public ipv4?
Most people will use the 4 digit pin function. Where you really need at least a 8 digit pin. I've been told that the latest version of ios allows for a 10 digit pin. As long as you still have to do the tries on the device 8 is sufficent.
I've been told repeatedly that it is secure even with only a 4 digit pin but I just have a hard time beliving that having just 1 extra digit than a luggage lock makes it secure.
History generally agrees with me. http://techcrunch.com/2015/03/... even as recently as ios 8 just 4.5 days to try all 4 digit pins 44 seconds a try.
If rate limiters didn't often turn out to be more theatrics than security I wouldn't feel that way.
Anyone else remember when apple pulled all the apps that let you use the camera flash as a flashlight? Or how you still afaik can not get a app to scan wifi aps?
It would greatly improve the safety of bicycles to have car drivers that wouldn't run their ass over because they didn't see them. Huh I suppose then only the poor would actually be in control of their vehicles.
Not as rare as a laptop with dual batteries but finding a laptop with space for two HDDs and a disc drive is still pretty friggin rare. Best of both worlds nice.
You can currently upgrade from the last two editions of windows to the latest one for pretty much free. Windows 7 will still get security updates until Jan 14, 2020. by upgrading to windows 10 you get another 5 years until Oct 14, 2025. Dropping the ability to install new versions on older hardware is mostly just a phone thing.
As for samsung my samsung convoy 3 (a stupid phone) is still receiving updates nearly 2 & 1/2 years after release. From what I hear a lot of smartphones have no support after that amount of time.
Hey even the nearly 5 year old ipad 2 will still update to the latest version of ios yeah I know its slow as hell on ios 9 but you can install it if you want to.
I would think this would be wonderful for companies offering long term storage for rarely accessed data even if it is write once media.
May lower the cost of services like Backblaze B2 and Amazon Glacier.
Otherwise I expect the equipment to be well out of anyone's price range for a while. Should give Panasonic's Blu-ray storage a run for its money though. http://hardware.slashdot.org/s...
I hate facebook more at least twitter has a bit of redeeming value that you can use it to contact developers and while most still won't bother to grace you with a reply you are still better off tweeting than email if you want a reply.
What sort of timeline are you thinking? I'm thinking within the next 2 years probably less. Its not like these things haven't happened before. http://tech.slashdot.org/story...
Yep if encryption is done right the weakest link will always be the password. If you can break the crypto easier than the password someone fked up the crypto.
But afaik the first line of defense on an iPhone isn't really encryption its just a lock screen like: http://linux.slashdot.org/stor...
Behind that screen apps are still open and the fs is still mounted so yes I find it hard to believe that its secure.
The hardware crypto just defends against offline attacks.
Why would they need to if they can just get apple to do it? And get precedent set at the same time. Keep in mind they use mouse jigglers with computers so leaving the device on isn't unheard of.
And we're back to the iPhone uses hardware encryption and the key is stored with some type of chip that only work in one direction that I can't think of the name of at this time.
But anyway the point is while you can copy the encrypted data in its encrypted state you won't be able to decrypt it without the cooperation of that chip and if anything happens to hit the reset on that chip any backups you might have would be worthless.
Ummm its an iPhone and unless its jailbroken it can't do that. And even if it was I've yet to see anyone come up with such a complex setup. You find any dead mans switch scripts for ios you let me know k? That would be a pretty cool find.
Now if it was jailbroken I would try the following: Find a computer it was paired with and connect through afc2. Assuming the wifi isn't off. Find an ap it will auto connect to and see if it has open ssh installed if so if your lucky the password will still be alpine. Assuming it isn't in airplane mode. Now if you are the FBI you could use something like a stingray and get to open ssh from the cellular side. Afaik by default openssh doesn't have any real rate limit for login attempts on the iPhone so I figure the time should be reasonable. At least compared to having to break the encryption key.
No but I would expect apple or samsung to be able to be able to be able to bypass the CPU.
Safes? Crack as in open no crack as in cut the door off yes. I would absolutely expect them to cut a few of them open a year just to be sure their safes were still you know safe.
Can I print replacement battery covers with it? That would be pretty useful. The finish looks pretty good I wonder if the tolerances are good enough for the clips to work.

The alternative is buying pills that don't work. http://science.slashdot.org/st...
Who wants to do that?

Yes I already know they already have self driving motorcycles in india but I said bicycles.

Then it's just down to hoping they were dumb enough to use a 4 digit pin.
This is why you should have a secure password you can't rely on a password rate/try limit to protect you.

Won't matter they will just make windows slower to compensate...

I would like to have the ability to make my phone beep while on silent back so I can find the darned thing.
Asurion's Mobile Recovery let me do this but Verizon's family locator does not.
Still at least I can tell whose yard it's been left in.
What sort of timeline are you thinking? I'm thinking within the next 2 years probably less. Its not like these things haven't happened before.

I highly doubt it will be a requirement to use only their app after all the goal is to sell the hardware and supplies.
Well then again afaik the cricut machines are still pretty worthless.

Why couldn't we have pirated battery cover models? You could even make a pirate logo into each one.
There are just a few hundred brands and styles of remotes at current shouldn't be too hard to get a collection going.
Why would they need to if they can just get apple to do it?
And get precedent set at the same time.

All iirc of course.
Must be something new since 6.1.3 only the 4 digit pin gives numpad on my ipad.

If you don't use a simple pin (4 digit) you get a full keyboard.
No but I would expect apple or samsung to be able to be able to be able to bypass the CPU.

Iirc iPhones use hardware encryption when the reset is hit it changes the hardware key. So then that backup is worthless.
1. In my experience apps can run in the background and use wifi while the device is locked.
2. That really shouldn't be that difficult for the company that manufactured the thing.
