Firm that unlocked iPhone for FBI gets hacked
- Cellebrite, the company which cracked the San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone for the FBI, has had its own servers hacked
- 900GB leaked
- Documents relating to international business w/ Russia, Turkey, and UAE
- Also included files related to iPhone
- The information has been publicly released
- Much of the code is similar to that used when jailbreaking
- Most of the information relates to older iPhones (the San bernardino case involved an iPhone 5C)
Elon Musk to remain on Trump’s advisory council (hopefully not too political)
- Musk stressed that he wants to help Trump make humans a multi-planet species
- Musk indicated that he did not agree with the immigration ban
- The full statement is at the bottom of the article
Chinese factory shifts to full automation, sees huge production increase
- Factory in Dongguan, China replaced 90% of workers with robots
- The factory produces mobile phones
- Went from 650 to 60 employees, expected to drop to 20
- 250% increase in product supplied
- Automation is part of a growing trend, manufacturing jobs are especially at risk
The rest of this is my opinion
- While an increase in quantity supplied leads to a decrease in price (basic economics) a decrease in wages will be a bigger problem
- Could be solved by UBI funded by “automation tax”
Time Warner Cable sued in New York for fraud and lying to FCC (Warning: Rant)
- New York State Attorney General has filed a lawsuit against TWC for lying to customers and the FCC
- Suit alleges TWC “Systematically And Knowingly Failed To Deliver The Reliable And Fast Internet Access It Promised To Subscribers Across The State”
- Seeks to compensate all NY state customers for their trouble
- TWC promised high performance but leased incapable modems and routers
- Modems that customers rented were not capable of pushing the speeds customers paid for
- Caused bottlenecks in network speeds at the cost of the customer
- Leased modems were of DOCSIS 1 and 2 specs but the TWC network requires DOCSIS 3 spec for full performance
