The Supreme Court Was Right to Block Cuomo’s Religious Restrictions -- (link) - spamlet Dec 2, 06:09 10
- Based on this article, science says Cuomo is right. - loosilu Dec 2, 06:35 4
  - And they said that’s fine but it wasn’t based on the size of the venue at all. - spamlet Dec 2, 07:00 2
    - and the same restrictions don't apply to staff of other establishments (think: Walmart) who "gather" in a similarly sized space for much much longer - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 2, 07:03 1
      - Places that sell food are considered essential business so the restrictions didn't apply. Church isn't essential so it was under restrictions - Krusty Dec 2, 07:16

  - that part I don't understand - what roll does the Pi play in the hack? -- (edited) - decline Dec 2, 06:43 2
    - From what I gather, the Pi is using a pair of off the shelf WiFi adapters to construct malformed packets to Apple devices to exploit a bug in the iOS - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 2, 06:52 1
      - also, in the demo, he used the Pi as a server to receive the stolen photo from the iOS device which the injected code transmitted to it over the air. -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 2, 06:56
