Today, my research group @ Georgia Tech released a paper on vulnerabilities in Tile --- the second largest device finding network after Apple's AirTags.
You can read about it in Wired, reporting by @kimzetter.bsky.social!

Another decent #AppleEvent. Although still can't believe AirPods Max are 5 years old now, with no real new release. Sorry but USB-C and new colours doesn't count 😆

Sights of summer trickling in. Another scorcher of a day ahead in April, hoping this means we’ve got a packed summer of this weather!

So much talk about AI coding tools, vibe coding, AI agents
So many complaints of these tools “breaking down” above some complexity / context length
So little - basically no - talk about software architecture that makes for code devs can easily maintain/evolve. Or AI tools!

Aaaand we’re back in business! Dusted off the old ClusterHAT 2.3 and been tinkering with some Homelabby SOC this evening. Also migrated my PiHole instance to it as a first ditch play!
It’s also hooked up to a Tapo energy monitoring plug 🤓. Super cool!

It’s just astonishing that this is even considered a way to boost the economy. Really clutching at straws…
Today's Poll: There's discussion on raising the limit on contactless card payments above its current £100, to help boost the economy, would you support that? (Apple/Google pay etc are unaffected)

I am well a truly an Impossibrew convert. It tastes great!
For those that don’t know / haven’t tried it yet. It’s an alcohol free beer (ale, which is the one I prefer) that gives you a nice buzz!
I’d highly recommend giving it a punt. Lovely stuff!
