I've got an #iPad / #OSINT puzzle, and I could use any suggestions anybody has to throw out there.
Back in 2022 in the middle of the pandemic a medical provider in NYC sent my uncle an iPad to attend a virtual appointment on.
I'm trying to figure out how to return it to them, or barring that, to factory reset it so that it can be returned to service as a useful device rather than a nearly brand-new iPad needing to be recycled.
This has proven to be... difficult. #Apple#tech#hacking

I ask this relatively regularly because I want to keep an eye on the landscape.
I'm a software engineer with a PhD in international criminal law. I am on the lookout for (open source?) projects that are useful to human rights researchers/activists/defenders. I am hoping to contribute as a volunteer software engineer.
If you know of a project like this, please get in touch. If you don't, please boost if you'd like!

BunnyNet stands as the CDN upfront, can we still consider it hosted on OpenBSD? 🤔
I ordered these LITERALLY a YEAR AGO to the day, and they JUST ARRIVED!
Apple stalled the Google location tracker network for as long as they could, but now we FINALLY have some competition for AirTags!
I'm soooooo sick of AI. I'm going to go live off grid in a cabin with zero technology. I won't have computers, phones, cell service, or internet. Just good old fashioned living. 😆
"The buy now pay later company has also cut external marketing agency expenses by 25% and "removed the need for stock imagery" by instead using AI image generators like Midjourney, OpenAI's DALL-E, and Adobe's Firefly, Siemiatkowski added.""
"Other commenters remarked that the AI-generated images looked bad in their opinion, with one saying they "looked like shit.""
