listening to Jason Isbell tonight and for whatever reason during Cover Me Up, I thought about DistroKid. and that in turn flashed a visual of @pud's converse crossing my field of view while looking at the floor, bored, in AdBrite's early office...lobby. IIRC, a drum set was…

noticed a tablet-like object used by ants during re-watch of A Bug's Life with my friends/their kids. wanted to see how they would like it today. first time re-watching since its release. IIRC, Jobs didn't begin thinking about a tablet until a few years later, but cool anyway

However, our Ledger Donjon security research found that cryptographic operations are still performed on the microcontroller, which can be vulnerable to more advanced attacks. If an attacker modifies the software on the microcontroller, they could potentially access the user's…
