IMO, its not a brand issue. Its a seller/batch/brand issue. Hard drives are sensitive to vibration, and if you buy multiple drives from the same place, at the same time, and all the same brand and model, you might be setting yourself up for a bad experience if someone accidentally slammed those boxes around earlier in their life.

I highly recommend everyone buy their drives from different sellers, at different times, spread out over various models from different brands. This helps eliminate the bad batch issue.

And linux distros

Not seeing the word “day” anywhere tbh

Secure boot helps protect against evil maid attacks by checking hardware and OS signatures. If the boot process has been tampered with, the user can be alerted that the secure boot process can no longer properly verify signatures.

While its probably true that you can no longer guarantee that system can be used safely ever again, at least you will be aware that it was tampered with and you can go ahead and send that system to e-waste and get you a new system.

Depends on the OS, but you can generally have mkinitcpio handle generating new UKIs after updates and also have it trigger something like sbctl to re-sign images.

It seems the issue here is that initramfs is not signed, which makes this attack possible.

If it is signed and an evil maid modifies the initramfs itself, it will break the secure boot process and the user will be notified that their system has been tampered with. This should indicate that the secure boot protection is working.

If initramfs is not signed and it drops to the debug shell, then the attacker can make any changes to your system without it affecting secure boot, since it has already passed the protection. At least that’s my understanding when I read this.

Sorry. Im not sure what would make it a good or bad port. Im not familiar with what the differences would be.

It was originally released on N64 and the Switch Online N64 mode seems fine. It feels like the original game.

Honestly, its probably a good thing they canceled it. They were going to butcher that perfect game.

But also FYI, Perfect Dark is available on Nintendo Switch Online as a Nintendo 64 +17 Mature title, along with Turok and Turok 2

If he knows there are millions and millions of illegal aliens, why is he rounding up the legal ones?

I imagine the data harvesting on those phones will be a topic of discussion here shortly.

So we don’t have perfect privacy?

It doesn’t move at all. If your hardware is compromised, then it doesn’t matter what apps or software you run, right? Its not under your control.

So which phone has libre baseband firmware?

If libre apps run on proprietary hardware, is it really under your control?

Can you name a phone that has libre hardware as an alternative?

Apple already fixed it years ago when they released iOS 12.

Backing up health records data

You can use iCloud to store your Health data, including health records, using end-to-end encryption (requires iOS 12 or later and two-factor authentication). Health and health records data is also included in local iTunes backups, if you’ve configured your iTunes backups to be encrypted.

Can you name a phone that has open source basebands that has a FLOSS license attached to it? Surely if you’re arguing against apple, you are not using a phone that has proprietary blobs in the firmware.

Read the original comment again.

What baseband firmware do you use? And who maintains that firmware?

I shouldn’t laugh, but like, c’mon… What were you expecting, lady?

Ah so its probably a redirection service used to track hits.
