On December 8, 2020 the CentOS project IBM-Redhat announced that it was about to throw away years of good will and trust for seemingly little good reason.
36C3 talk recordings I watched
Every year I make a point of setting aside some time to watch some of the talk recordings that come out of the C3 events.
These are the ones I watched these year in no particular order:
- What’s left for private messaging? by Will Scott
- All wireless communication stacks are equally broken by jiska
- The Eye on the Nile by Aseel Kayal
- Inside the Fake Like Factories by @sveckert, Dennis Tatang and pkreissel
- What the World can learn from Hongkong by Katharin Tai
- Messenger Hacking: Remotely Compromising an iPhone through iMessage by Samuel Groß
If I had to make a recommendation for a talk that you absolutely must watch, it is the talk by Katharin Tai about Hong Kong. It is a fascinating insight into how a current protest movement is operating successfully and what makes them tick.
