Thank god we can find and intercept lost hikers as they mistakenly run away from rescue in dense forest!
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.
By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.
Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

I have a friend who's really into zfs. She talks a lot about what a great filesystem it is. But she seems to spend most of her time fighting with zfs and zfs snapshots and zfs misconfigurations and "making sure the wrong data isn't erased during startup" ... 1/

Using Apple's Corelocation you can identify network devices in areas where Wigle simply doesn't have coverage.
This is Pine Gap, a joint Australian and United States satellite communications and signals intelligence surveillance base.
You cannot get within 25KM before getting stopped.
Using Apple's own infrastructure you can map out the location of over 140 Fortinet devices on the base.

Ashida 2 in development, completely redesigned PCBs that should make it much easier to build. It’s also smaller than the original Ashida. Pretty neat!

Blameless postmortems are about not blaming individuals, so we can understand the incentives that led to the incident. They're not about shielding the organizations that define those incentives from blame.
"Zero Standing Privilege" is a fake as fuck security control and everyone should stop pretending it isn't

Introducing fortitool: one static Go binary that decrypts and unpacks FortiOS firmware end to end, no openssl, no binwalk, no Python, nothing but the binary itself.
Along the way I found something nobody's published before:
FortiGate config backups hide passwords behind a hardcoded AES key, and the common belief is Fortinet rotated it back in 2019 after CVE-2019-6693. They didn't. It rotated quietly at 7.4, and the new key's been sitting unpublished until I reversed it out of /bin/init:
