Totally not a bubble

Easier said than done, in my country there isn’t a single bank that hasn’t reinvented the wheel, all of them have a dedicated app to show the otp for the login

Can we install a stub package called com.google.android.verifier so the silent installation of malware will fail? It’s technically feasible?

It seems awesome!

I felt dirty every time I had to use tinkercad, fucking Autodesk

That is the price if you ship million of units. Realistically, how many units can ship this? 10k? 20k?

Once you consider the price of the plastic shell molds (custom), the custom keypad, the custom motherboard, the custom assembly line, this price is almost cheap.

I wouldn’t even consider a purchase even at a third of the price, but it was a scam if they simply put a sticker on some Alibaba clamshell with stock android, instead here they even partnered with Jolla to have sailfish is as base with the android emulator. That’s much more expensive than just slapping android aosp with a minimal launcher and calling it a day

Browser and email is the bare minimum, though.

Even the cheapest clamshells in the 2000s had those two.

Don’t preinstall it by default if you want to look minimal but being forced to sideload (their app store blocks this essential category???) an Android APK in the emulator instead of using native Linux apps for that, is ridiculous

I understand that for a small company like them (it’s being owned by a YouTuber now) creating hardware is extremely expensive and 499 can even considered cheap with all the custom stuff in this device, plastic molds, dedicated assembly lines and so on, but my mind can’t accept paying more than 149 for something like this

Disclaimer: I wrote “idiot” to describe someone who paid for the product not because they’re actually idiots, but it’s because Microsoft is treating them like that: their official solution on the website is “simply subscribe to the latest and greatest or buy a new “perpetual” license to office 2024 to continue using what you paid for”

I had to disable bitlocker

The permanent “fix” that i done a few weeks later was to do single boot with fedora and move windows in a VM under KVM

a nation state can probably find a way

There’s no “probably”, they can surely find the way, because the decryption key is saved on Microsoft servers, they just need a subpoena for getting it

i think it was already dead and replaced by the esp32s - the original arduinos are too expensive for what actually offered: get the performance of a 8-bit cpu with 2k RAM but at raspberry pi prices

Considering that if you use a custom ROM, you’re a pro user, the 1% of the users, this means only one of this two cases:

1. The Google Pixel line is a complete failure and failed to reach mainstream status, nobody knows the brand and buys the phones in a store, they’re moving 1000x less units than Apple

2. There’s some error in your numbers

I’m sure some mad lad could hack together bash, git, and cron into an unholy mess that would do it

Sparkleshare basically did that and of course it sucked for syncing big binary files with frequent tiny changes

KeePass2Android has support for many cloud stuff. Host your DB on there, then KeePass2Android will sync with that when you change/open it

KeePass 2 on desktop can compare two databases and sync them. It has also some plugins to sync with cloud

I use noscript extensively and an approach like yours will break 99.9% of the websites. Everyone nowadays uses CDNs and all you’ll see is a broken HTML page with no images.

Probably if there’s a way to break the browser like that, you’ll be only be able to browse sites hosted on neocities

probably i would have ran it outside as the crack just silently “crashed” (while successfully dropped the malware as admin in the right spot, ready to be ran as admin at the next boot via the task scheduler) and i would have thought “maybe it doesn’t run in a sandbox/vm”.

But yes, in a hindsight, if i ran in sandboxie then i might have noticed that it had dropped suspiciously named files in common:startup with that nice file transfer GUI (unless if the malware detected sandboxie and did not run the malicious routines)

My main concern would be the bacteria thriving on that.

Stale bread: just less tasty, and mold can seen/tasted easily

Similar for veges, probably thrown because “not as fresh looking”

But expired meat? That means the poor animal has been butchered weeks/months ago and it’s in decomposition

Adobe Reader on Linux? The one from the last decade? I can’t seem to think to a single valid reason to do so

I read as “Arch Linux drops support for GNOME” and my heart fluttered

i agree that both are terrible but i do not see in the public the same level of outrage or boycotts
