FCC re-examining iPhone RF levels after controversial report
maestro64 said:I said this before when this topic keeps coming up. Before you freak out about radio waves from phone, keep in mind every day just walking outside your are bombarded with radio waves from DC to light and you are hit with all levels of intensity. Just living every day you are at risk of being hit with radiation. There are lots of sources of radiation which will not go away.Keep in mind the inverse-square affect on signal intensity. The article had that correct. A 100watt transmitter 100 feet away will have no where near the affect on the body as a 1 watt transmitter at 1 foot. And the article was talking about millimeters for their test cases. It is completely unlikely that a non-radio-professional will ever find themselves bathed by as much RF energy, as they will with a hand-held transceiver, unless you lay your head down on top of your MIMO WiFi base station. Don't do that. Looking down the throat of a police radar gun at point blank range is another thing not to do. If you have a 2-way radio transceiver (CB, ham, fire, etc.) with external antenna, don't make adjustments to the 2-way radio's antenna itself while transmitting from the radio. That's also a no-no.

How to upgrade the RAM on the new 2018 Mac mini
vulpine said:Pro tip: Buy some white plastic ice cube trays.I also recommend using your smart-phone to shoot a photo of the screws at the point of removal. Capture the tool used, and the size of the screw. This may be overkill but it saved my bacon in one of my upgrade odysseys. Another thing I've done is tape the screw down to separate pieces of paper in an orientation specific to where the screw came from. Write notes.The real danger, i think, in taking one of these apart is prying the connectors off. One has to be pretty sure which direction to pull on so you don't yank the surface mount glue and solder off. that would constitute wrecking the unit. The only thing I broke in a prior mac Mini is a temperature sensor connector. The sensor itself was glued to the hard disk as I recall. The wire from that went into the PCB via a tiny white connector. I managed to rip the connector off the board. However, everything still worked and that mac Mini has been in service for another several years after that.

Complex iOS 12 passcode bypasses grant access to iPhone Contacts and Photos
Except that this sequence wouldn't be necessary at all if the customer let the phone unlocked, and this sequence is completely blocked if the customer doesn't have SIRI enabled while locked. Really, this vulnerability is an edge case. It only affects phones that are both locked and have SIRI enabled-while-locked.microbe said:Such a complex sequence of actions that let you into any iPhone. Gee. Almost seems like some sort of an intended hard to find “key” that could have been designed into the system to allow, well, maybe governments to get into phones they have been screaming for access to? After all, what’s more important to a company than access to profits which a government could hinder by placing, let’s say, tariffs on imports of their products as one example.
