Wouldn't be possible afaict, the encryption masks the xz archive which contains the checksum metadata. If the data is modified, decryption & extraction will simply fail.
The data will be undecipherable to a mitm anyway since it's encrypted, the only real risk imo would be someone modifying the encrypted data in transit to attempt a zero day targeting the decryption process... chances of which are probably really low lol
That's surprising. Dell should have good Linux driver support, seeing as they offer Ubuntu pre-installed in some markets.
Saying that, we have work issued Dell Precision mobile workstations and there are constantly hardware and driver issues under Windows, where you'd expect things to work just fine...
the internal microphone not working (handy for meetings!)
the 3.5mm combo jack not working (ah, great, no backup for when the internal microphone stops working)
the battery handshake failing, causing the machine to not charge, stay stuck in a low performance mode, and constantly pop up Windows notifications saying the battery is not genuine
the presence sensor locking the laptop while you're literally working it
Now I use a USB headset, disabled the presence sensor, and reboot the laptop repeatedly until the battery is detected as genuine
This is what I thought I could do with my old devices, an S4 and an S5, but shortly after moving my data to each upgraded device the internal EMMC failed on each.
The s4 powers on into some OEM flashing mode (nothing on the screen, just appears as a Qualcomm something when plugged into usb), and the S5 shows this horror inducing message
My phone does not just give access automatically to any device plugged into it. You are REQUIRED to give permission from the phone. Which cant be done because the screen is fucked.
The first ever Android I had (Galaxy S4) was sadly dropped by a friend, and the oled screen was toast within a few days... thankfully I had previously authorized ADB on my main computer, had it paired to a Sony Ericsson LiveView (with OpenLiveView), and my bluetooth headset was set up to automatically launch the music player when connected. Could also make calls using the voice assistant (forgot what it was called back then, S-Voice or something?) needless to say a screen replacement wasn't urgent at all.
Can't say I'd be able to do the same nowadays on modern Android with all the forced app killing and stuff, as well as Google Assistant being a massive downgrade (believe most useful actions on a smashed device would require unlocking, and on-screen confirmation)
AppArmor and SELinux sandboxing stuff pushed me to only install services with Docker on my headless machines 😣 found out most services can't write to their own homefolder
Has there been a scenario where the technology itself is to blame? The contamination aspect of nuclear waste is well known and preventable, if costs are being cut on radioactive waste disposal (or in the case of a certain Japanese power company, ignoring warnings from the government on how to reduce ocean contamination in the event of an earthquake) a nuclear installation's fate is sealed...
As far as I can see, the only downsides with nuclear IMO is that it takes multiple decades to decommission a single plant, the environmental impact on that plant's land in the interim, and the initial cost to build the plant.
In comparison to Solar it sounds awful, but before solar, nuclear honestly would have made a lot of sense. I think it may even still be worth it in places that have a high demand for constant power generation, since Solar only generates while the sun's about, and then you're looking at overnight energy storage with lithium-based batteries, which have their own environmental and humanitarian challenges
The sweat factor alone is what allowed me to use the loaned ebike as part of a journey to a wedding. Had changing facilities en route but not shower facilities...
This isn't even an exaggeration imo - I loaned an ebike for a month and didn't notice any change in my electric bill at all, despite racking up around 100mi on it
I've sent videos in Google Messages to others (e2ee RCS) and they've arrived in a good enough quality, definitely better than MMS at least. I've not shared media over standard RCS though, so unsure if that implementation is different....
Given all the great things I've heard about the new oled model, particularly repairability wise, I might pick one up for myself. As well as playing my library OTG, it'll work beautifully as a remote for my FPV project!
Omg that's absolutely disgusting if true.
Is there not a single rich CEO who isn't a mental outlier in some way?
