I recently got my GitHub account suspended for 4 months. When it was finally reinstated, their support just said it was a "mistake".

Proudly self-hosting Forgejo since then.

That's fixed in the latest beta.

The timeline mentions the disclosure was made through CISA, and on their website there is an official incident report form.

I can imagine an email to some generic email address could have gone down the way you describe, but I guess they look at these reports more professionally.

> Replacing traditional speakers with piezoelectric transducers will allow devices to be much thinner.

I appreciate the fact that this technology could make mobile devices more durable because it has less moving parts, but I don't feel going any thinner than what's currently available is desirable from an ergonomics perspective. I just don't feel as comfortable holding a phone that's 7mm thick, or less.

And I certainly don't think it's worth the risk of it folding in my pocket.
