If an attacker gets access to your system, they will be able to ensure you can't get rid of their access

It will persist across operating system installs

However, this requires them to get access first

How does one flash a ROM without unlocking the bootloader these days?

Shouldn't that break Android Verified Boot?

A pure GSI image could use a Google key, I suppose, but others shouldn't, right?

For whatever reason org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Breeze-Dark was deprecated

The workaround listed here: https://github.com/flathub/org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Breeze

Is to run: flatpak override --user --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-3.0:ro

However, that exposes a little extra if you have favorite places stored

I think it works if you only expose xdg-config/gtk-3.0/colors.css, xdg-config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css, and xdg-config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

The summary here and in the paper isn't very helpful to check what CVEs are relevant

The kernels referenced aren't supported, and it says the issues were reported upstream

Checking some of the references of the paper, it says

By the time we posted this writeup, all the distros have patched this vulnerability.

Do you know what CVEs users should check against?

eSIM requires proprietary google services to activate, so if you're planning on messing with ROMs I find physical to be easier

Isn't #2 the only option?

Websites specifying color for foreground (or background) and assuming browsers will use whatever color they're expecting for the other has always existed, and still exists

If you're getting fancy and specifying colors, you can't cheap out and not specify all colors

If the browser ignores all your colors at that point, then it's displaying as the user intended

If you only specified some of the colors, it's a bug of the website

The even crazier part to me is some chip makers we were working with pulled out of guaranteed projects with reasonably decent revenue to chase AI instead

We had to redesign our boards and they paid us the penalties in our contract for not delivering so they could put more of their fab time towards AI

It's a strange suggestion after very recently working closely with openSUSE to ensure Leap can use the same binaries as SLE, though

It doesn't have to, but GrapheneOS is designed around security first, privacy second, and usability third

If you install Fennec browser on it and open, e.g., https://www.learningcontainer.com/download/sample-pdf-file-for-testing/?wpdmdl=1566&refresh=6697dcd62a0141721228502

The PDF will display inside Firefox

The default web browser on GrapheneOS, Vanadium, doesn't parse PDF's (they're an incredibly insecure format) and passes them off to a sandboxed, hardened app specifically for that usecase

This allows rejecting more permissions than doing it in the same process

Separated over the PCIe bus with an IOMMU between it and system memory, as well as hardware switches to disable it if I'm not reachable

I haven't found a way to remove it entirely. It's the only option I've found so far, but if you know of a better designed option, I'm certainly interested

Well, a.out doesn't make much sense these days.

Gotta move to .elf

Apple's using Qualcomm modems, and the complaint seems to be around the modem
