Rule of thumb - power off Phone. IPhone will force passcode on first unlock
Define "use". I've had a steel rod in my leg for 14 years now. I use my leg to walk more than I use my phone.
Am I missing something? The first line says: "Armis Labs revealed a new attack vector endangering major mobile, desktop, and IoT operating systems, including Android, iOS, Windows, and Linux, and the devices using them."

Why is the title singling out Linux? Reading through the rest of it, it seems like this is on pretty much everything.
Honestly, when Tim said "one more thing", I thought they're going to introduce a whole new line of products, like the Surface Phone we've heard rumors of. A device that only looks like a phone, but is in fact, a whole PC. iPhone X proved to be just another iPhone, nothing more.
Yeah, isn't this what an autoclave is for?
Yes they do. Here's a Bloomberg headline I just ran across today: "Rich Retirees Are Hoarding Cash Out of Fear" [0]

The word hoarding is often used to cast ordinary and prudent saving of stable, non-speculative currencies like US Dollars and Euros in a negative light. Economists and central bankers often want the inflation rate to be higher - to reduce debt loads, among other reasons - so they want people (other people, of course) to stop saving so much and start spending more.

edit: grammar
I was born in Cincinnati, and lived there for 18 years until going to Ohio State. Today I live on the peninsula.

I'm here in Cincinnati now, for family stuff. And I'm concerned. Cincinnati still has a large industrial component (P&G has their HQ here), but many factories are gone. A lot of the east side of the city has been converted into microbreweries, homes, and shopping. My Mom works at a biomedical company that's growing. Gigabit FTTH for residences is available.

I'm still concerned. Property taxes have grown beyond reasonable limits. There are so many areas that are not benefiting from the improvements being made. There is culture being destroyed by rising rents and gentrification. And the pain killer/opioid epidemic gives a perfect path to "release".

Case in point: Today I met some relatives at a brewery for lunch. But my Aunt had a problem ordering: They send a text message when your order is ready to pick up, and she doesn't have a mobile phone. The place was all stools and tables; if we had invited my grandfather, he wouldn't have had a place to sit.

There are good places and people though. I'm here to attend my grandmothers funeral. In addition to my boss, two of my relatives also had flowers sent by their place of work. On the day we were doing planning, my uncle suddenly shows up: My uncle builds furniture; he was sent by his place of work to pick up some big sandwich & pasta platters, and drop it off to my grandfather. All paid for.

I'm rambling. The point is: There is so much good here, and it is so at risk. And sometimes I think that if I moved back here (either working remotely, or finding a similar job locally), that I would just exacerbate the problem.
I was in tech when iPhone came out, the original one. I thought that they might make money but to a tiny, tiny percent of people. Boy was I wrong...in some countries an iPhone costs like 6 months of net-salary, yet they buy it. Status symbol, you don't know I'm a "loser" making $150 a month, but you know that I have an iPhone.

So I'm willing to trust that Apple knows what they do. Of course they will know what they do....until they don't :)
iPhone SE, you mean. It's the same on that came out alongside iPhone 6S.
How does the "Home" gesture work with games that require gestures? If someone has a game that requires flicking items upward from the bottom of the screen, will that now be impossible? I don't have an iPhone, but I'm assuming that games like Flippy Knife and Flip Master, currently #1 and #2 on the Play store, could run into issues.
You mean the notch of sensors? Yeah... not good.
Apple launches iPhone X
iOS beta has a feature that lets you force passcode authentication without a reboot; I'm assuming this would disable Face ID as well but I don't think we'll know for sure until the new hardware and software are out in the wild.

http://gizmodo.com/a-hidden-trick-in-the-ios-11-beta-lets-yo...
resolver(5) describes the behavior of glibc, not DNS or systemd. Systemd will read resolv.conf if you don't want to configure resolved.conf directly, but that's a convenience, not a contract. Dnsmasq also reads resolv.conf for convenience, and puts yet another interpretation on it (which will also break this use case). Both systemd and dnsmasq expect that you'll tell glibc to just ask the local resolver (them).
I'd bet ~30 days with this in the public's hands we will see headlines like "How to beat iPhone's facial recognition with X".

My guess is they didn't want to tell anyone at the FCC about it fearing leaks?
Exactly, you can always fool the metrics, but everyone who is paid by metrics is doing it.
I did. I guess you have more info as you are an apple engineer and are breaking NDA?
I mean if they want to use a corrosion resistant metal that sounds fancy they should have gone with Monel. It's very hard and tough, corrosion resistant, and the name even sounds fancy and expensive. It also has a nice look when machined.
Well, I am editing remote code over SSH with Atom and Nuclide right now. It's been possible for a long time. Now you can even run a remote debugger on your Python program.
They make money on every product that wants to connect to Lightning.
It means that they purposefully did not file with the FCC before presenting this so they would minimize leak opportunities, and did not care as their timeline is sufficiently padded forward that they will do that this month; but they also can't pretend it is already sellable: the FCC technically could say "no" (though it doesn't seem sufficiently crazy different from the iPhone 8 that I would imagine anyone expects any chance of that happening).
Okay, this should be the top comment here. My developer tools using extensions that give away patent protection in a one side license is unacceptable.
The relevance of the second part of my post was that it is as unrealistic to expect everyone in the world to adopt bitcoin as it would be to expect everyone in the world to adopt the Euro.

And thus, relatedly, that currency exchanges would still be needed constantly under any circumstance.

If it is cheaper to exchange from bitcoin to fiat than from fiat to fiat, that would be interesting. I would tend to question whether it is a tax issue.

Ordering from Amazon used to be much cheaper too, but nowadays it has been collecting sales tax.

My understanding is that, for Bitcoin, this process of being made to play by the same rules has already begun.
DNS has been plenty reliable for the past couple decades. Systemd violating backwards compatibility in the name of standards adherence when the real world works a different way is very... "enterprisey" of them.

Why does it matter if it's under legal compulsion or not. At the end of the day they are handing over your data. They could choose not to store it, thus making it impossible to do, but they don't.
Who wants an all-glass phone? I get that the designers want this, but do actual users really want something so fragile? I've only ever had phones with plastic or metal backs, and I've never bemoaned the fact that they weren't breakable enough.

A swipe up that starts past the edge of the screen is already a different gesture than a regular swipe. It works the same way as the current phone (swipe up from bottom brings up the "control center").
You can remove some contaminants in an autoclave, but others surprisingly survive, and would contaminate the next patient.

So stuff like scalpels, for example, is recycled after every single use.

Even such simple things as prions actually already require far more complicated autoclaves than you’d expect.
In iOS 11 you can also quickly press the power button five times to require passcode for next unlock without turning the phone off.
Dedicated IDEs seem targeted at “I'm going to spend all day living in this one big project.” Text editors such as Atom and Visual Studio Code seem better at editing a single file, or bopping between a few projects (either within the same or across multiple windows). Either can technically handle the opposite extreme, but seems out of its element there.

Also, I have yet to see an IDE that looks and feels like a native macOS application. (I'm looking forward to being corrected here.)
Yes, the planet got destroyed, but for a beautiful moment in time we created a talking poo app.
The phone had been rebooted and thus required a passcode to unlock.
Probably hasn't certified by FCC yet [1], for sale. The FCC process has been subject to leaks in the past, so they've probably waited until after main announcement.

Didn't help too much though re: leaks.

Mixers and ring signatures
They said during the announcement that you have to be looking at the phone for it to unlock.
If you limit requests to the different servers to the domains they cover, that's fine (various resolvers do this in different ways). If you tell the resolver they're all equivalent, they need to all be equivalent.
This seems like trying to argue that brakes are bad because, while people normally use them at times when they should stop, it's also possible to use your brakes at times when you shouldn't stop.

The fact that something can be used used in a dumb manner is good to know so you can avoid doing so, but that doesn't negate the fact that cars are safer overall with it than without it.

Why are all smartphones so thick and heavy nowadays??? Even my 3 years old iPhone 5S is 7.6mm and weights 112 gramms. New model is 7.3mm and weights 150 gramm. It is worse than a 3 years old model!!!
The "panic" is an iOS 11 feature, not phone specific in any way.
Suffering is a business. Perpetuating the problem is synonymous with guaranteeing future revenues.
Basically means that Apple had a hard time getting the final specs worked out so they didn't submit it to the FCC for review until it was too late to have approval ready to go for the announcement.
I was responding to someone comparing it to the standard model, not the plus models. See the text I quoted, and see their original comment.
Systemd was a personal project of Lennart, it didn't even originally came from Red Hat. Red Hat certainly hasn't the power to coerce Gnome into anything.

And major distros all had long discussions and debates on public mailing lists where the details of why they adopted it is discussed.
That's apologist at best. I'm not disputing the feature is cool, or whatever. But what they're doing is unabashedly post processing. Come on, in most of the examples there were sliders to choose the effect, the intensity thereof.

To claim "well, it's not really post processing because you're doing it before 'saving'" (also doubtful because if it's an extension of what is currently possible with editing on the iPhone, it's an edit to a saved original) is grasping at a straws, as is comparing it to "raw-to-JPEG". This is 'straight out of Aperture/Lightroom' style editing, aka post processing.
I know everyone pictures the kid with a broken arm getting it set when they hear about socializing medicine, but all I picture is the US paying large corporations to make more people OD on opioids.
Do you think phones are a "done" thing? I mean what we are seeing these days is more of an evolution than revolution. With iPhone X I think we know what the phone industry will move towards for next 4 years.

All these features are cool and somewhat exciting but nothing groundbreaking that will change computing/communications forever.

VR was supposed to be the game changer but it appears that it will also take around 4-5 years at least to be mainstream.

What do you think will bring the next revolution in personal computing and communications?
> Atom IDE UI is fast and lightweight by design. It extracts only the subset of the core UI features from Nuclide necessary to support Atom’s atom-languageclient library in displaying features supported by the language server protocol.

Source: https://nuclide.io/blog/2017/09/12/Introducing-Atom-IDE-UI/

So I guess the main differences are that it's more lightweight, and open-source.
> Agreed it is very admirable to spend your wealth, time, or influence in a ways that alleviate real poverty around the world. However I don't think it is in the contract between citizens of a nation that their taxes should be spent on this to a large extent.

Yes and no. You're right, a government should provide mainly for its own people. However the stability of the whole world is important for national security and national prosperity. See what's happening in Europe right now: a massive influx of immigrants, increased terrorist attacks, increased crime, etc... I go to Europe semi-regularly (mainly France), and in my travels the difference over the years hasn't been particularly positive.

The main problem is that mass immigration isn't a real solution, Europe and the US/Canada can't support the entire world's population. Development of underdeveloped regions of the world has to be a priority if we want to survive on our planet in the long-term.

> I haven't thought about this a whole lot and not sure if I understand all of what you are saying. Surely having a wealthy outside investor who is originally from your own country is better or at least equal to another outside investor?

It's because the money isn't generally used as an investment, but rather minimum wage workers from the US/Canada send back money to their families, which merely supplements their income. On a whole the influx of money drives up prices, without contributing much to development.

I'd agree if workers came to the US/Canada for 10 years, saved, then went back and invested in their home country. That's generally not how it works though. Workers come here, send small amounts of money back, eventually sponsor their families, and then they all leave.

If you look at statistics as well, it's not the countries with the most ex-pats (and I mean as a percentage of population, not in absolute numbers) that are growing the quickest, but rather countries with a stable rule of law which make investment more attractive (and re-investment by those within the country).

> Again agreed, although the price of capital and living should also be falling!

The problem is that as capital (and land) gets concentrated in fewer hands, the income earned from capital outpaces the income earned from labour, resulting in lower relative wealth for the labour side of the equation. Thomas Piketty explains this well, and has amassed a seriously impressive set of data to back up all his assertions.
Looks interesting. Have you read Charles Stross (developer, sometime HN poster) and Vernor Vinge (CS professor)?
"Our vision has always been to create an iPhone that is entirely screen." so they failed thus far

What about if you're dead? Would law enforcement, medics and/or family be able to use your (recently) deceased face to unlock? Would that be legal?
>Apple seems completely detached from the reality of what the trend setters actually desire

iPhone sales have been mostly fine, right? It's not like the removal of the headphone jack cratered sales or anything.

>Needlessly locking customers to Apple-only ecosystem of hardware since iPhone 7

Pretty sure non-Apple Bluetooth headsets work with the 7.

>Apple now signals clueless consumption rather than high-status to me

Anyone here with an iPhone might not like being called clueless; might have led to a downvote or two.
i'm in Canada, should edit my comment.
Just checking, this isn't with a see-through glass, right? The phone isn't translucent.
It didn't fail, the phone had rebooted, forcing passcode entry.
"The documents indicate that several suicides and suicide attempts in early clinical trials that were attributed to patients on a placebo — and which made Paxil look safer by comparison — should not have been counted, and that an F.D.A. reviewer later told the company as much. Glaxo eventually reanalyzed its data, and in 2006 enhanced the warning on Paxil, cautioning that among adults of all ages with major depressive disorder, “the frequency of suicidal behavior was higher in patients treated with paroxetine compared with placebo” — 6.7 times higher."

Courage! In all seriousness, if you were expecting a reintroduction of the headphone jack, you might as well wait for them to reintroduce floppy disks. Apple only looks forward. That's just how they roll.
> I wonder how many people hit their caps, switch down to 1080P, and realize they can't tell the difference from the couch anyway.

I have to stand closer than ~6ft away from my now-considered-tiny 42" 1080p TV to tell the difference between 720p and 1080p. At my couch's distance of ~12ft I don't notice the difference between DVD quality and 1080p with most content. According to an online calculator that confirms those numbers so I think it's probably somewhat reliable, I'd need a 78" TV to get the benefit of 1080p at 12' away. I can't even imagine what kind of absurd seating/TV arrangement I'd have to have for 4K to matter. Couch 4ft from a 70" screen? Something like that?

In a monitor, yeah, bring on the extra pixels. In a TV though? Why?

If you're simply looking for capacitive touch in a consumer environment, then there are a great many. Simple capacitive touch sensors to replace physical push-buttons were widely seen in the 80s, I remember using them on elevators, and built one myself as a child.

Capacitive touch sensors that registered an X/Y position rather than a simple on/off state were also common in laptop touchpads from around the mid to late 90s. The iPod introduced a capacitive touch wheel to replace the click wheel in their second-generation model, released in 2002.

There were various capacitive touchscreen display devices around before the iPhone, but probably the most relevant to your query (and one of the most well-known, due to its similarity to the first iPhone's technology) was the LG Prada, a phone with a capacitive touch-screen announced about 6 months before the iPhone.

The thing with the iPhone's touchscreen wasn't that the technology was particularly revolutionary -- sure, if you combine enough words together, then you can make the argument that the iPhone was probably the first mass-consumed capacitive multi-touch hand-held consumer device, but you can remove any of those words and it was no longer the first. The revolutionary aspect of the iPhone was, in my opinion, the software that allowed the device to be controlled with the relative imprecision of a finger, rather than a stylus. The actual hardware to process the touch inputs was at best evolutionary, not revolutionary.
Why'd Apple choose to make the iPhone X out of stainless steel? Titanium, for example, would be half the weight and much more interesting..
ditto - I'm fearing dongles in all of our futures.
> Apple seems completely detached from the reality of what the trend setters actually desire

I upvoted you, but the idea of techies being "trend setters" is a ship that sailed long ago. People know I'm a tech geek, and up until 2010 or so, they'd ask me advice about what to buy. Today, nobody asks. My wife actually berates me every time I try a non-Apple product.
Would you say the same thing in reverse if Apple's event was a month earlier? These things have been in work for more than the past month.
I'm not an old curmudgeon - I am a young guy who knows a lot about digital media technologies and their underlying principles.

Don't trivialize my specialized knowledge by saying I'm old. The only reason you can watch anything on youtube today is because people like me cared about standards and best practices -- and most importantly, cared about being right about things.

Typical "break stuff, stop reading books" mentality of engineers my age. It's sad.
It looks ok on the homescreen but they should disable the corners for videos.
Do you often use your phone without looking at it?
"Surgical‑grade stainless steel" doesn't mean anything. AFAICT, there's not certification or metal grading committee that says, "yes, you can call that 'Surgical‑grade stainless steel'. Accept no substitutes."

Beside, we're making phones, not doing surgery. What is that even supposed to mean to me the phone consumer? I understand that I'm supposed to think "better" because "surgical", but for all I know the standards aren't all that high because it just needs to be sharp, not durable.

IOW, it's just marketing, just like "military-grade encryption".
