Stolen iPhones disabled by Apple's anti-theft tech after Los Angeles looting

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2025-10-02 15:02:00

What just happened? As protests against federal immigration enforcement swept through downtown Los Angeles last week, a wave of looting left several major retailers, including Apple, T-Mobile, and Adidas, counting the cost of smashed windows and stolen goods. Yet for those who made off with iPhones from Apple's flagship store, the thrill of the heist quickly turned into a lesson in high-tech security. Apple's retail locations are equipped with advanced anti-theft technology that renders display

Chinese AI Companies Are Using an Absurd Loophole to Get Around US Chip Restrictions

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-02 11:15:35

In case you haven't heard, the United States is embroiled in a life-and-death arms race. Only it's not conventional weapons or even world-ending ICBMs we're rushing to build, and it's definitely not a matter of life and death. The purported arms race, of course, is the rush to build artificial intelligence, and the US' adversary — for reasons even the Pentagon's most committed war hawks struggle to articulate — is China.

On June 13, OpenAI began rolling out a new ChatGPT Search update to improve quality as the AI startup challenges Google’s dominance. ChatGPT Search has been around for about a year and allows users to search the web more effectively than Google. It tries to summarize content from websites to provide quick answers and includes links to sources so you can fact-check everything. “This blends the benefits of a natural language interface with the value of up-to-date sports scores, news, stock quot

Notes on the History of the Map Tile

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-02 08:14:09

Notes on the history of the map tile Web map tiles—the storing of geospatial data at different zoom levels in x/y/z indexed squares of raster (and later, vector) data for efficient storage and transmission of digital maps—are, despite their seeming simplicity, I think one of the most significant developments in geospatial software history. Tiling transformed the user experience of digital maps from one of tedious clicks-and-reloads to one of fluid, dynamic exploration. It made digital maps feel

How easy is it for a developer to "sandbox" a program?

news.ycombinator.com In 2025-09-28 15:57:24

# source code sandboxing Sandboxing is when a developer limits available system resources to a program from within its own source code. A classic example is calling chroot(2) to change the root file-system to an empty directory so that the program cannot scribble into the root file-system. int main(void) { /* Program has full file-system access. */ chroot("/var/empty"); chdir("/"); /* File-system root re-rooted in /var/empty. */ int fd = open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY); /* Tried to open /var/empty

Biofuels Policy, a Mainstay of American Agriculture, a Failure for the Climate

news.ycombinator.com Georgina Gustin 2025-10-02 15:02:22

The American Midwest is home to some of the richest, most productive farmland in the world, enabling its transformation into a vast corn- and soy-producing machine—a conversion spurred largely by decades-long policies that support the production of biofuels. But a new report takes a big swing at the ethanol orthodoxy of American agriculture, criticizing the industry for causing economic and social imbalances across rural communities and saying that the expansion of biofuels will increase greenh

Childhood leukemia: how a deadly cancer became treatable

news.ycombinator.com Saloni Dattani 2025-10-02 12:12:42

Childhood leukemia: how a deadly cancer became treatable Before the 1970s, most children affected by leukemia would quickly die from it. Now, most children in rich countries are cured. In the past, when I’d hear the words childhood leukemia, I’d picture a young child who suddenly became seriously ill, and whose parents were told their child had only a few years to live. I’d wonder how a child might grasp the idea of limited time, or how painful it must have been to face the possibility of miss

How to build the best keyboard in the world

The term “endgame,” among keyboard enthusiasts, is sort of a running gag. Endgame is when you finally dial in your perfect layout, case, features, switches, and keycaps, so you can stop noodling around with parts and get on with whatever it is you actually use the keyboard for — work, presumably. Then a few months later you see something shiny and start over. In the search for endgame, most of us have to compromise somewhere — usually time or money.

Norbauer Seneca review: a $3,600 luxury keyboard for the keyboard obsessed

Some people can tell great wine from okay wine. They go on wine tastings, take wine tours. They tend to spend more money on wine than most. I am not one of those people. I can tell wine from vinegar if you show me the bottle. I am just a little bit obsessed with keyboards, though.

A short while ago, I was browsing Apple deals on Amazon (as one does) – and something stuck out to me. High-end iPad Pros, particularly 12.9-inch models, are surprisingly cheap. I saw M1 models with 1TB and cellular for under $700. Given the recent iPadOS 26 overhaul that makes the iPad much more Mac-like, I figured these deals would be worth a share.
