Sure, but if that's your only concern, then you aren't really concerned that the toggle is removed in the UK, either

The report is that Apple is removing the user's ability to disable Apple's back door, and you asked for evidence that they roll over for law enforcement

If you want governments to have access to a backdoor to what Apple touts as "Privacy," your initial question doesn't make much sense

I don't know about other countries, but Apple itself reports that it provided access to customer accounts at the US government's request 90% of the time

@drop_and_run@sh.itjust.works

In the default configuration of iDevices, the US already can

This seems more around the UK wanting to spy on its own citizens more easily

I've gone through and responded to the other top level comments as well, but another massive issue you could add to your edit is that servers can detect curl <URL> | sh rather than just curl <URL> and deliver a malicious payload only if it's being piped directly to a shell.

There's a proof-of-concept attack showing its efficacy here: https://github.com/Stijn-K/curlbash_detect

To add to OP's concerns, the server can detect if you run curl <URL> | sh rather than just downloading the file, and deliver a malicious payload only in the piped to sh case where no one is viewing it

You can detect server-side whether curl is piping the script to Bash and running it vs just downloading it, and inject malicious code only in the case no one is viewing it

So that would at least be a minor improvement

My job is literally to make Linux distros using Yocto for various boards. I'm constantly writing new build scripts or updating build scripts, debugging the kernel/systemd/glibc and whatever libraries are on the system.

All of my work and personal desktops run some version of Fedora Atomic or a uBlue variant right now.

With distrobox/toybox/brew and using podman/docker/KVM+qemu, even as a tinkerer, it's great

I constantly see people talking about playing things like Balatro on their deck that certainly doesn't need more than 30fps.

Seems super useful for games like that on a flight

A safe would make more sense for an encrypted partition or directory

Bug report:

version 7.x removes nomenclature for current distros using alternative userspaces, such as musl + busybox (Alpine)

Need an extended term for these situations, or "Linux distro" should be reverted to version 6.x

Hardware. There's a load value predictor that guesses the value of a load from memory

Matrix as a protocol, and the official client is Element.

I'm baffled Signal didn't support transferring chats... I thought it was supposed to be easier than Matrix

It's magnetically attached and can be used wirelessly, so the thumbnail is showing off that feature

And "the specific resource ID" is almost certainly for localization of the text

Maybe it's a generational thing, or geographic thing?

My wife was born in a village near Xi'an, and lived there for ~22 years

She isn't into fengshui, and doesn't adhere to any major superstitions (I guess other than you have to keep your belly button warm 😂)

SSDs make hibernate even more powerful

That's why things like suspend-then-hibernate are popular now

Maybe that's an Android thing?

My wife uses douyin on an American SIM all the time. She had to get someone from the mainland to type a pin for her when she first installed it, but there wasn't any hardware based attestation on iOS

It also says

ChatGPT responded with information already publicly available on the internet and provided warnings against harmful or illegal activities.

So without the article comparing the search terms to what the person would have found typing into google, it's quite pointless to hand wring about AI

If you're seriously wanting to compile optimized software for those devices, you would want to investigate "cross compiling"

Transfer speed isn't part of this regulation, but yeah, making it clearer on the box the max power output on chargers and cables would be a good continuation of the requirements
