  • Alleged 'KRACK Attack' vulnerability threatens to lay bare Wi-Fi WPA-2 security

    Consumer-grade Wireless Routers (e.g. Asus, D-Link, LinkSys, NetGear) are at the most risk, esp. older models since manufacturers tend to stop any development/update after 2 years of its availability. And there are thousands of these devices out in the open...

    If I want ‘suggestions’, I will do a search and you (ad industry) provide suggestions. If I do not want ‘suggestions’ while just browsing around, then you (ad industry) should not intrude into my privacy using my personal data which I have not agreed/permitted and keep popping up or dishing out ‘suggestions’ to me, destroying the experience I have reading or looking at other contents.

    I don’t give a damn if some heavy weight ecommerce players decide to block Safari. There are always others which I can make purchases with. Oh, there are concierge services which I can use too.

    Thanks Apple for putting up a fight and standing on our side of the privacy battle. At least we now have a choice and stand in a better position to win some back.

  • Leaked part could show Apple's 'iPhone 8' wireless charging coil assembly

    Third-party Charging Dock is of a higher probability based on several factors as many above shared.
    Furthermore, it looks like a low number of layers PCB used in low-cost designs that has less stringent requirements, hence unlikely inbound for a smart-phone. It does not even contains sufficient Apple-styled attributes to be a first-party charging dock.

    My best guest - a 3rd party factory in China (top blurred label is name of the China company and the chinese words of China among that line) is manufacturing this, betting on rumours that there is Qi-based wireless charging in the next generation of iPhones due to launch in few months' time. It does not looks like Logitech outsourced PCB but I could be wrong since I have not been tearing apart Logitech products in recent years.

  • Chinese manufacturers not likely to follow Apple iPhone manufacturing migration to US

    "Do more with Less" - I hear this so often that it starts to influence behaviours. Are Americans ready to really accept this? There are definitely many parts of the world that have been doing so - doing a lot more for a lot less money.
