Looks like they found someone.

I disagree. You should not immediately go and replace the OS as soon as you get it.

Most modifications to the root filesystem persist through updates just fine. You simply need to add the relevant exclusions for your customizations. See the Development and Modding section here.

I have a significant amount of modifications to Steam OS, including an encrypted home partition (while excluding the steamapps subdirectory via bind mount) protected by TPM.

The only time an update breaks anything is if the kernel or initramfs updates, requiring me to re-enter the LUKS password and reenroll a new TPM protector. And this is only because they don’t support Secure Boot, so my PCR selection is limited. And I was on the Beta update channel for a while updating almost weekly without issue.

This is like the epitome of the XY Problem.

I agree with the first part but vehemently disagree with the third paragraph.

I suspect it varies wildly based on where you live, but in Chicago there absolutely ARE places with waitstaff worth getting a burger from.

I’d be careful about completely trusting any AV to give you any certainty that you aren’t infected.

As I mentioned in another comment, Pegasus is comprised of many different exploits. So just because Bitdefender can detect some older Pegasus variants, doesn’t mean it can detect all of them.

In fact it’s quite unlikely they can detect the latest variants.

I don’t know the full answer, but Pegasus isn’t one single piece of spyware, but rather a toolkit of many, many zero-day exploits.

A lot of them (the majority maybe?) are non-persistent meaning that they don’t survive a reboot.

That said, aside from keeping your phone up to date with security patches and rebooting frequently, I’m not sure there’s much the average person can do if you’re actively being targeted.

They got rid of hyperthreading in Gen 15.

We still do.

It’s similar to the rdx app but for people who like to self-host.

It scrapes reddit without requiring a login so you can still use it without their shenanigans.

If you’re not techy, you can just use the rdx app. There’s an iOS version too.

I think she “had to” write that much because she knew the thickness of the skull she was trying to penetrate. And your counter-“argument” only proves that point.

P.S. Just because you think something is intuitive to you doesn’t mean it’s correct. It just shows you’re part of the system that needs replacing.

But in this case, she’s serving him Great Pumpkin pie.

I drink my whiskey straight from the Klein bottle.

Grainger seems alright. Better than Uline anyway.

He’s definitely on the jazz!

I don’t think I got them all.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

Yeah Win11 will probably be a noticeable performance hit on that. Especially Explorer which they made dog slow when adding tabs and the new context menu.

The Office apps and browser will probably be about the same.
