Ordinary WiFi can "see" through walls/corners with biometric fingerprinting of humans, https://gizmodo.com/researchers-issue-warning-about-tech-tha...

  Researchers collected WiFi signal recordings from nearly 200 participants as they walked through a WiFi field using different walking styles. The data was recorded from four different perspectives using both the BFI method and an older WiFi sensing approach relying on channel state information, or CSI. 

  “This technology turns every router into a potential means for surveillance,” said co-author Julian Todt in the press release. “If you regularly pass by a café that operates a WiFi network, you could be identified there without noticing it and be recognized later – for example by public authorities or companies.”

  The researchers are urging the IEEE, the organization that sets industry standards, to include stronger privacy safeguards in the upcoming 802.11bf standard, which is meant to standardize WiFi sensing applications.

  Google will launch Chrome for ARM64 Linux devices in Q2 2026, following the successful expansion of Chrome to Arm-powered macOS devices in 2020 and Arm-powered Windows devices in 2024.. Google is partnering with NVIDIA to make it easier for DGX Spark users to install Chrome. 
Will be useful in isolated Debian Linux pKVM Arm VM with accelerated vGPU, in Android-ChromeOS converged desktop on Qualcomm Arm laptops. Possibly Nvidia-Mediatek Arm laptops, if they support h/w nested virt for pKVM/AVF.

> Researchers in Italy have developed a way to create a biometric identifier for people based on the way the human body interferes with Wi-Fi signal propagation.. can re-identify a person in other locations most of the time when a Wi-Fi signal can be measured. Observers could therefore track a person as they pass through signals sent by different Wi-Fi networks – even if they’re not carrying a phone.. their technique makes accurate matches on the public NTU-Fi dataset up to 95.5 percent.

WiFi Sensing is part of Wi-Fi 7 and present in most recent laptops and smartphones. Local NPU machine learning can be combined with WiFI radar. Malware can attack phone and radio basebands and exploit this capability. It can uniquely fingerprint human biometrics, measure breathing rate, record keystrokes and more. Thousands of academic papers have been published in the last 15 years on "device free wireless sensing", before the capability was ratified by IEEE as 802.11bf. It's being rolled out commercially. Mitigations include drywall or insulation with a layer of RF shielding.

HBF, like expensive HBM, is targeted at AI data centers.

  The KAIST professor discussed an HBF unit having a capacity of 512 GB and a 1.638 TBps bandwidth.
PCIe x8 GPU bandwidth is about 32GBbps, so HBF could be 50x PCIe bandwidth.

> I understand why they dropped [Photon] in favor of Qt and later Web technologies

The arrows of time branch and spiral, so it's possible that "later" could require some properties of "earlier".

If Photon could not be open-sourced, it could be licensed to a third party for custodian maintenance. If QNX is abandoning Photon forever, would Blackberry object to Photon being cloned for Linux or FreeBSD? That could preserve a future option for QNX to use it again, like XFCE.

Enthusiasts still use Blackberry keyboards on handheld devices in 2025, which sell out in minutes. In a parallel universe, Blackberry.com offers embedded SBC developers self-service purchase and global delivery of the legendary Blackberry keyboard, with Bluetooth for convenience or USB-c for security.

For ~100K authors with content on Github Pages, Liquid conformance avoids learning new template syntax or a programming language.

For a greenfield site where Jekyll/Liquid compatibility is not beneficial, Zola may be an option, https://github.com/getzola/zola

  Conformant: Incompatibilities with strict shopify/liquid are bugs to be fixed.
  Flexible: Liquid embraces variants for different domains and we want to follow in that spirit.
  Performant: Do the best we can within what is conformant.
This has potential to replace Github Pages ruby-based Jekyll+Liquid, which is unusably slow on iOS without JIT.

Cobalt + Liquid-Rust + iSH enables offline writing with iPad portability, lockdown mode security and battery life, retaining interoperability with Linux static publishing toolchains. No jailbreaks or sideloading required.

Due to lack of JIT on iOS, Jekyll is too slow to run on iSH. Liquid-Rust (https://github.com/cobalt-org/liquid-rust) templates, even with partial compatibility for the Ruby-based Liquid template engine, reduce the cost of migrating from the Jekyll Ruby static site generator used by Github Pages.

On Debian x86, build a cobalt static binary for use on iSH (Alpine Linux /w musl libc) on iPadOS:

  sudo apt install rustup build-essential
  rustup target add i586-unknown-linux-musl
  git clone https://github.com/cobalt-org/cobalt.rs
  cd cobalt.rs
  cargo build --release --target i586-unknown-linux-musl
  cp target/i586-unknown-linux-musl/release/cobalt /mnt/usb
Copy cobalt static binary to iSH filesystem via iOS Files app, execute and view http://localhost:NNNN with a web browser:

  ./cobalt --no-watch --host 0.0.0.0 --port NNNN

"SARLink: Satellite Backscatter Connectivity using Synthetic Aperture Radar" (2024), https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.09682

  SARLink is a passive satellite backscatter communication system that uses existing spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging satellites to provide connectivity in remote regions .. As the first technique for passively sending information bits from the ground to a SAR satellite — and with some SAR systems offering open-access data — this system could enable anyone to send information without expensive licenses or subscriptions. 

  Thus, it provides an accessible way of sending messages in areas without connectivity or in censored environments where active radio transmissions cannot be used. Furthermore, SARLink requires no modification of the satellite infrastructure.. We demonstrate our system using the European Space Agency (ESA) satellite Sentinel-1A, as the data is freely available and the system regularly images all the land on Earth .. a 5.5 ft by 5.5 ft modulating corner reflector could send 60 bits every satellite pass, enough to support low bandwidth sensor data and messages.
