Is this basically Ubuntu?

They do intentionally hold back packages based on a random value to do gradual rollouts. See below:

Could this be your issue?

The baseband firmware is not so privileged anymore. Most new phones, like the Google Pixel 7, have IOMMU to force the baseband to communicate through a very restricted interface to the kernel. Certainly, you can interfere with texts and calls, but a baseband RCE doesn’t yet compromise the data stored on the phone by itself–not to diminish the seriousness or to suggest that we shouldn’t patch such an exploit immediately.

RCE, the “remote” aspect, in the operating system? So directly in the kernel and accessible remotely, such as through the networking code? I’m curious now. Most of the ones I’ve seen are in some other component that is sandboxed. True system-level privilege RCEs seem to be relatively rare. Usually, you get RCE, then you need privilege escalation to do something especially interesting.

Indeed; I’m sometimes able to leverage even a few bits of memory corruption into execution in many cases, though the hardened allocator in Android makes this a serious PITA to arrange to overwrite something useful.

True that many potential RCEs are found, but I think there are a few points to keep in mind.

• RCE classification is often conservatively assumed when it is theoretically possible even if it is not been demonstrated. Android bulletins appear to assume any memory corruption could be an RCE.
• Remote code is no longer sufficient for privileged control. Next, you have to use it to break out of a restrictive sandbox for whatever service or application you have compromised.

To expand on this, most vulnerabilities that require the vendor to actually participate by providing security updates are specific to your hardware configuration. These kinds of vulnerabilities are less attractive to most attackers because of their specificity. Attackers would much prefer to have a vulnerability that applies to many different victims, not just a specific kind. Android has gone to great lengths to update these commonly targeted components regardless of your vendor support status. Unless you believe you would be specifically targeted, the risk is fairly low.

I’m not sure it’s fair to put iPhone down. They do take security very seriously, especially physical security with their formally verified bootloader. Not seeking a flame war. I just didn’t think it was accurate. Are we so sure they don’t have individuals focused on iPhone security at Apple? Compromised devices impact their brand image while the same bugs can be used for jailbreaking. I’m sure it’s very important. I interviewed with a team up there that I believe specialized in just that. Just recently Apple implemented an emergency security patching system for their devices to get security updates out even faster.

Full disclaimer: I use both devices for software development. I have no special preference.

Short answer is no. Long answer is no. The problem is their drivers (and hardware) are very young so there’s a lot of odd things games can do that hurt performance in unexpected ways.

In practice they are not as good because Intel lacks experience, but I think they’re on the right track. Is it worth the money today? Probably not. The risk of coming across a game that doesn’t run well is just too high.

I really wanted Intel to be a serious contender for my last GPU purchase but there were too many good, consistently performing options in that price range for it to make a lot of sense.

If an instance is just being slow I’ll hop on to one of my other accounts, let alone down. My client makes that easy to do.

User-driven load balancing!

All refers to everything that your instance knows about. Your instance only retrieves data for which users are actually subscribed.

All can be weird on small instances if the user subscriptions don’t have a nice distribution.

This is a good point for not choosing too small. I’ve made a couple of accounts, and it looks like when a servers crosses that 1,000 or 2,000 user mark you start getting much better consistency than the micro instances with only a few hundred users.

I usually find that I have to reload a few times if I’m the first person to try to subscribe to a community. That happens uncomfortably too often if the instance is small. Even then, it can take a days or possibly never to properly federate.

I’m sure these issues will be fixed, but for now, I’d like myself a small instance but not too small so as to avoid issues with consistency.

Only 47%? You’d be a fool to invest.

It’s a pretty picture but oh do I hate spider webs.

I feel like a gigabyte of installation materials is probably a bit more than necessary.

Eczema, where your typical lotion just won’t cut it.

Who knew that removing functionality and limiting access to your product was the path to social media success.

I always access from a smaller instance. I didn’t even notice I was looking at older content.

I don’t think shortage means what they think it means. Just because you can’t find people at the price and working conditions you’re willing to offer doesn’t mean there’s a shortage. It might just mean that you’re cheap.

I think they require that builds happen on their build servers using public source to make sneaking in something unsavory harder. A maintainer can’t just say here ship this binary.

Here you can see that they use an automated build system and a means to track what is getting built.

What is your threat model? I would be more worried about those proprietary firmware blobs that you have to use with your hardware irrespective of what ROM you choose. If you’re worried about a maintainer sneaking in a back door, I would think that unlikely because it would leave a paper trail.

I did not read the HN comments about this, but at a glance, the SoC appears to be the RK3568 which is really lame. It comes in the NanoPi, and you’re looking at four Cortex-A55, the smallest efficiency core they still use in the last couple year’s smartphones. This strikes me as massively underpowered to be called a real “Desktop” experience.

Flagship smartphone from five years ago will run circles around it.

It’s ambiguous how many each one is buying because you can’t tell which dividers are being purchased and which ones are actually being used as dividers.

I hate Pinterest links. I don’t even click if it looks like Pinterest. Might as well not exist.
