DanAtC··on IPv4 pricing
What ISPs are doing IPv6-only? Can't imagine they'd still have any customers.
DanAtC··on IPv4 pricing
Reminder that news.ycombinator.com still doesn't have an IPv6 address.
DanAtC··on iOS 14.6 device hacked with a zero-click iMessage exploit to install Pegasus

DanAtC··on Functors and Monads for People Who Have Read Too Many “Tutorials”
Articles like this and the subsequent comments are just a long-running, inside joke of who can out-pretentious one another, right?
DanAtC··on Ask HN: How to know if public WiFi is secure?
Best assume it's not and use a VPN.
DanAtC··on Israeli airstrike in Gaza destroys building with AP bureau
Why are all the articles about this "[flagged]"?

DanAtC··on FragAttacks: new security vulnerabilities that affect wi-fi devices
And those nations got a chance to freely exploit it* for way longer than a typical reasonable disclosure of 90 days.

DanAtC··on FragAttacks: new security vulnerabilities that affect wi-fi devices
Only because they agreed to sit on the patches for an inordinate amount of time.

Theo de Raadt did the right thing for KRACK. Shame it would be his only chance to do so before getting kicked out of Mathy Vanhoef's secret club.

DanAtC··on FragAttacks: new security vulnerabilities that affect wi-fi devices
If only we knew 6 months earlier after a reasonable disclosure.
DanAtC··on FragAttacks: new security vulnerabilities that affect wi-fi devices
A 9 month embargo is disgusting. Linux users have been sitting ducks while others may or may not received silent updates.
DanAtC··on Experian’s credit freeze security is still a joke
As a resident of California can I invoke the CCPA and get my information deleted from Experian et al?
DanAtC··on Ask HN: Is the data on this FCC site correct for your area?
That map is generated from self-reported data from ISPs filing form 477 (https://www.fcc.gov/economics-analytics/industry-analysis-di...) The threshold for coverage is a single customer in a census block.

The data is rarely validated except in extreme cases (https://www.telecompetitor.com/fcc-company-that-filed-false-...)

DanAtC··on MacBook Owners' Butterfly Keyboard Lawsuit Gets Class Action Certification
https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto is pretty good on the keyboard front
DanAtC··on We may soon have city-spanning 900 MHz mesh networks
https://disaster.radio/ is more apt.

NYC Mesh is built from discrete, high bandwidth (very high relative to LoRA) point-to-point radios. Assuming all the links in a path are healthy, latency should be excellent.

DanAtC··on Fake_contacts: Android app to create fake phone contacts, to do data-poisoning
Tell that to Citizen which refuses to operate without location enabled, and even worse, refuses to operate with coarse location. And being a free app there's no place on Apple's site to report this bad behavior.
DanAtC··on Ask HN: What laptop should I buy in 2021?
Went to look at the LG Gram and only one model out of 49(!) states how much RAM is installed(?!)

DanAtC··on Ask HN: Anyone made a USB driver for Mac OS 9?
I can't speak to the development side of things, but have you tried https://www.usb-audio.com/download/?
DanAtC··on IPv4, IPv6, and a sudden change in attitude
Most IPv4-only things I see are cheap IoT junk whose requisite cloud services will shut down well before that.

If only there was a dark mode theme to save energy on OLED screens.
DanAtC··on Samsung accidentally sends 'Find My Mobile' notifications to Galaxy phones
