This week Google unveiled a new opt-in Android feature called Intrusion Logging for storing forensic logs to better analyze sophisticated spyware attacks. Intrusion Logging, available as part of Advanced Protection Mode, enables “persistent and privacy-preserving forensics logging to allow for investigation of devices in the event of a suspected compromise,” the company said. The feature, it added, was developed […]

Maker Kevin McAleer has tackled an issue facing many project builders: how to automate the documentation process: Every time I build something at the bench, I have the same thought afterwards — I should have documented that. I should have taken photos. I should have written down what I did. But I never do, because […]

Kedasha Kerr, in the series GitHub for Beginners, talks about open source software and how to contribute to such communities.
