Dan HonWe considered ourselves to be a powerful culture capable of creating secure devices
This place is not a place of cryptographic security
No keys are secure here
The method of compromise here was honestly absolutely batshit
This disclosure is a warning about holy fuck did you see what they did
The danger is in a particular location by the power LED

Kee Hinckley@ammy @pluralistic This reminds me of how Hershey's makes chocolate.
First their research lab makes a new chocolate bar, using all the best ingredients.
Once they have it perfected, they bring in consumers to rate it.
Then they cheapen the ingredients, and do a taste test again.
And they repeat that process until they have found the absolute cheapest version of the chocolate bar that consumers still thinks tastes good enough to buy.

Marianne Kirby (The Rotund)Oh, wow, Tom Lehrer has released all of his songs into the public domain. Apparently also his website will shut down "at some date in the not too distant future" so now's a good time to download directly.
"In short, I no longer retain any rights to any of my songs.
So help yourselves, and don’t send me any money."
