🔗 FBI Extracts Suspect’s Deleted Signal Messages Saved in iPhone Notification Database
What happens is that if the text of a Signal message shows up on a lock screen, it’s stored in iOS itself, in a place where forensic investigators can gain access to it.

I did not expect to see (I wont say ‘read’) an article called 🔗 Jimi Hendrix’s Analog Wizardry Explained in an IEEE site when I ‘feed perused’ this morning - but it does connect.
Hendrix didn’t speak in decibels and ohm values, but he collaborated with engineers who did—Mayer and Kramer—and iterated fast as a systems engineer. Reframing Hendrix as an engineer doesn’t diminish the art.
