Agreed. Hopefully in this case the vagueness works in the favor of the consumer for once XD

> a PC laptop with secure boot disabled can't watch 4K Netflix...

It can't? Not a laptop, but my desktop still has L1 without secure boot enabled. Don't have Netflix subscription to actually test your claim but idk what they'd be detecting / requiring outside of that

Couldn't reasoning tokens be considered "output", since it doesn't specifically say user facing output?

Do you mean iOS15? The 7 didn't get 16

Your example is how the site got infected. The types of infection is listed 2 or so paragraphs above that

I don't see how that changes the argument? Still broadcast the time to the ether

Probably because of the YouTube clips side, which is a very large community. Allowing them to download and clip videos to then re-upload to the platform could be considered a "loss leader" in my eyes

Yeah that's just human nature I fear. Nothing to do with politics or geography

Crazy to be self aware of it and blatantly not give af

Isn't apple also a "single party that has the signing keys to run any software..." ?

I can't help but feel you're intentionally missing the point. An iPhone itself isn't secure without iOS, iOS is what supplies the limitations

Graphene is iOS

Probably doesn't have open firewall/ports? Not everyone opens everything when virtual LANs like tailscale exist that can punch through with minimal latency

I use .lan..net for my internal servers at work, through cloudflare dns. It's simple, all .lan get resolved to the same IP. And the server has something like caddy or nginx to take the traffic, see the destination, and forward properly into the network

Works for me, I have my nextcloud webdav saved there since I didn't want to deal with any client bloat. It's not only persisted across reboots, but persisted across platform upgrades (I run fedora KDE)

I do hope we can, I continue to work on custom ROMs after all :)

I just also like to be a realist, and right now things look a bit grim

And you can't tap to pay with PayPal, at least not in my region. Tap to Pay is the big thing

They work fine for me too personally, but not for everyone. Banks are ofc by institution, but with whatsapp there's some flag that can be put on an account which makes them get an "unofficial app" warning and not log in. Which gets cleared by using a stock device or something passing integrity. Definitely a weird situation, but there's plenty of proof out there that they're doing something strange

I'll be honest I wasn't considering off the shelf modem modules in my statement. I was talking about your typical cellphone modem made by Samsung, Qualcomm, mediatek. I'm sure there's some basic options and older broadcomm modems and stuff that still run Linux, but most people's devices don't have those

Normie apps simply don't anymore. WhatsApp will refuse to log you in if it feels your device is modified and then fails a verdict. Google Wallet won't let you tap to pay. Most banks in the EU and basically all virtual ID systems require it

That's a big pain point for the average user
