*on the firmware level, to be precise: keyboard polling is commonly done by the Embedded Controller, which is flashable (not by users, generally, tho, but during the uefi update, for example). Sometimes there are separate keyboard controllers, but those are not really common.
So, if vendors want to fix this garbage, they can. Smth tells me, they don't care, tho
*it is god who is made in man's image. Except the flying spaghetti monster, the invisible pink unicorn (our belief in which is so strong, we know they're pink even though they're invisible), and so on. Also, artificial idiots are, too, made in men's image, to some extent
Yeah, guess I'll never understand that whole agentic ai craze. To me it basically looks like
we have a tool that is relatively simple to trick into doing what it's not supposed to. Let's feed it arbitrary data and give it the ability to execute arbitrary code!
Add it to the fact that, quoting from the aa's blogpost,
≥70% of songs are ones almost no one ever listens to (stream count < 1000).
The vast majority of the artists are to be "stiffed" of like $3 or less per track during the nearest eternity iff every single one of their listeners is to download the archive and only listen to locally saved copies. Which, given spotify tries to do it themselves by recommending (and, likely, creating) ai slop, tells us more about their predatory practices than of anything else
I'd refer you to one of the latest episodes of the privacy, security and osint show, but I don't remember the number. So, basically, Michaels solution to that is to get an SD card, place it into a hollow coin and hide it in one of his friend's house, so that he can later ask 'em to retrieve it 🤣
"Less suitable [...] than expected" is kinda terrifying given expectations must've been pretty low in the 1st place knowing their history with linux...
Haven't heard of it, personally, except the case with introducing a vulnerability similar to the case with the xz backdoor that wasn't merged. Would appreciate the link, tho
Uh-huh, sure, just about protecting the users. Nevermind that actual malware is regularly found on play store, and exactly 0 times -- on f-droid they're "protecting" the users from.
Does it matter, tho? To me it looks like all phones are ultimately the same for quite a while now. Pixels used to be better mostly due to providing the ability to effortlessly unlock the bootloader while being the de facto aosp testing target, but as of lately they've decided to fix that, not to mention their moves to enshitify away the option to side load the apps. Samsung's always been a wannabe crapple, and crapple is crapple.
