Apple’s Secure Enclave has replay protection since Apple A11.

Generally, I don’t see why a modern security platform wouldn’t have its own private SRAM to be used as a root of trust for encrypted blobs stored in shared DRAM.

More like stockpiled a phone SoC with limited I/O

You can do something like this with an automation in the Shortcuts app on iOS.

I’ve chosen “Gaming” and $4000. What I’ve got is quite strange:

* Ryzen 5950x — a 16-core Zen 3 CPU for gaming in 2023?

* RTX 3090 for 1500 — you can get a 4090 FE for about that price

* an X570E motherboard which generally doesn’t make a lot of sense for gaming

* a 1200W PSU which is wildly overspecced for this build

It may be very different. Ever tried using a touchpad on a Linux laptop?

My work PC & laptop are running Linux due to development reasons and the first thing I had to do on them is setting up basic functionality such as trackpad scrolling and mitigating weird window behavior and wallpaper resetting on monitor sleep, and it is still a subpar desktop experience compared to macOS or even Windows.

Not quite sure about easterners. At least most Russians seem to have entrusted a certain former KGB agent :)

Are participants from Russia, or Belarus allowed to participate in GSoC 2022?

Probably trying to demonstrate the power of some botnet to advertise it.

I think the West is both Brave New World (consumer society) and [partially] 1984 (mass surveillance by three-letter agencies).

iTerm2, micro (github.com/zyedidia/micro), fish, lldb, fzf, make, etc. for C, C++, Go and Rust. Xcode for Swift.

Am I correct that "Signature Edition" means no Linux?

Isn't that a dupe? Why don't people use Google (or something with a similar directive) with "site:$URL" before posting links here?
