Does Costco App Need these permissions?
A neighbor wanted to use the Costco app <play.google.com/store/apps/datasafety?id=com.costco.app.android&hl=en_US&gl=US> to have the digital member card and just use their phone for shopping instead of carrying a physical card. They asked if it was a a good idea.
Checked the permissions in the play store
Why does Costco need to read messages, emails and browser history? [image: image.png]
The benefit of the app is not worth giving up privacy IMHOP.

Add First Boot Script to a Firmware Build
The automated system for building firmware for a specific devices allows including a first boot script. This can be very useful, for example a device with no physical port.

Try it. github.com/horsicq/Detect-It-Easy
Detect It Easy, or abbreviated “DIE” is a program for determining types of files.
“DIE” is a cross-platform application, apart from Windows version there are also available versions for Linux and Mac OS.
Many programs of the kind (PEID, PE tools) allow to use third-party signatures. Unfortunately, those signatures scan only bytes by the pre-set mask, and it is not possible to specify additional parameters. As the result, false triggering often occur. More complicated algorithms are usually strictly set in the program itself. Hence, to add a new complex detect one needs to recompile the entire project. No one, except the authors themselves, can change the algorithm of a detect. As time passes, such programs lose relevance without the constant support.
