Trigon: Exploiting coprocessors for fun and for profit (part 2)

news.ycombinator.com Alfie Cg 2026-01-06 06:15:26

A few months ago, I released a kernel exploit called Trigon. It was significant in that it was deterministic - that is, it cannot fail. However, at the time of release, only A10 devices on iOS 13 - 15 were supported. Since then, support has been implemented for A9(X) and A11 devices. In this blog post, I am going to dive into what it took to support these new devices - I made use of some pretty interesting techniques, which I believe are worthy of a second part to the original writeup.

I ditched Google Calendar for paper, and it gave me the mental clarity I needed

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-06 05:00:44

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority I started using a paper calendar as sort of a joke. It was part of my experiment to live as if I were back in 1993. I ditched all modern tech and bought a weekly planner from the dollar store. My busy adult life still needed some kind of planning system. I didn’t expect to stick with it after my experiment was up, but you know what? I did. The experiment ended but the paper calendar stuck around. It found a home on my desk, where I’ve been using it every day

Adding calendar events with a screenshot is AI at its finest

Apple’s AI capabilities have been less than impressive to date, but there’s one new feature coming with iOS 26 that’s actually really handy: adding stuff to your calendar with a screenshot. I’ve been testing this feature out for the past few weeks in the developer beta, and I’m pleased to report that it works, easily making it my favorite Apple Intelligence feature so far.
