Nothing about what you wrote was a discussion, you stated for a fact that we would not do anything about it

why bother to respond to the comment if all you have to say is “all is lost”?

then give up and go away, or watch the video and reflect on your comment

then why are you even here?

We can get it back, and the antitrust trials are a big part of actually doing it

Says who buddy Bidens ass is getting reamed on this one

Actually it’s the nebraska virus

I think you’ve mistaken being pro war with being unpopular or being abolished or something

That’s not incompatible with the thesis, fantasy can and does have a point of view

Certainly we already had this conversation like ten years ago right? Call of duty has never been anything but that, you really can’t make a war game that is both fun and anything but pro war

Ok, so I can come change your locks then

Is there device support for Linux?

To exfiltrate the login password from a keylogger on a macbook, for example, you need to have some software running on the cpu as well as the keyboard itself. This makes it very difficult to do in reality, as you have to infect both devices and if you do not have physical access, your exploit needs to be done across the keyboard interface, which makes it very hard to do in practice. Swapping any random keyboard in that could potentially be malicious introduces two issues, as now the keyboard itself may have a keylogger, as well as opening the possibility of exploiting some vulnerability in the cpu from the keyboard itself. You therefore open two attack surfaces that were previously closed, which is highly significant.

people have different levels of risk acceptance and that’s ok

Except it is the editorial agenda of ifixit to promote legislation that requires this lesser level of security, which makes it not ok. Outlawing verification in software requires all devices to have the same vulnerability at the interface, it would even affect users who want to buy OEM.

I’m not saying it has to be absurd, but no one is acknowledging that the security risks are real, and requiring a lesser standard of security is a cost of legislating this stuff, which it is the editorial stance of ifixit to support

It absolutely could, if the processor trusts that the data coming from the faceid sensor is accurate, the faceid sensor can simply lie. You’re removing a layer of defense, which necessarily impacts security

So then you’ll let me change the locks on your front door to one I choose?

No, give me the argument that you can secure these interfaces, some of which provide biometric security, without verifying vendor origin in software

often are genuine, but Apple makes features not work unless paired

Because unless you pair the screen, the device has no way to know it’s genuine. If it’s not, it could implement any number of attacks, including keyloggers, screen stealers, etc

don’t believe

Why shouldn’t I? No one has given an argument that you can actually secure these peripherals without software locks, I bought my iPhone and MacBook because they offer security, even when I run Linux on it my MacBook has far superior boot security (the only thing apple has engineering control over in that use case) than any intel machines I’ve used

Also lol that article, you know the difference between one incident and a pervasive effort to mine your privacy for profit

Mfs out here want to install their bootleg faceid in my phone at their sketchy self repair place so they can sell my data and break its security. Let’s not pretend ifixit isn’t the exact same rent seeking that apple is, they just want to be the middle man
