• Apple M4 iPad Pro Has a New Security Exclave for Camera and Microphone Activity

  I was gonna link to https://mastodon.social/@_inside/112440596781136013; but you're right, it says that "iPadOS running on M4" has "Secure Exclave"; not that "M4 has Secure Exclave". Though I will admit I definitely misread it that way at first. - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• Bountysource Stole at Least $17,000 from Open Source Developers

  Reminder that librapay exists, and their developers are only paid from user donations, just like anyone else on the platform. https://liberapay.com/ (I only wish their CC costs could be reduced a bit to make micropayments viable). - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago
