Seems like they're keeping the link up to date on their telegram https://t.me/s/SiegedSecurity

I think it was more a comment along the lines of "we tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"

I'm sure many people would be much more willing to go into the office if they got paid for their commute. Even better if they got the pollution from their commute offset. Nothing lazy about wanting to be compensated for things you're doing for your employer.

I got very wet but still fun like always!

I haven't been to a Loblaws in ages, but I'm happy to continue with that.

I tend to get my groceries from local independent (not Independent) stores and Giant Tiger. They're closer so I can walk anyway.

Looks like the back (and side) cover clips on. IFixit has repair guides available already. Inside, it looks like basically any regular phone. No Fairphone-esque modules. The inside seems to be well-designed for repairability though -- separate bottom board and battery pull tabs. All of the side buttons are attached to the back cover and a thin cable connects to the main board under some plastic. That's going to be easy to break while repairing...

I looked at all 3 phones, they are all similarly built to the Pro model I linked.

If there are more than enough houses then an investment house would be a bad investment since no one would need to rent it and/or no one would want to buy it with a good profit margin. Instead, they're buying houses that people want, which is driving up home prices and letting them set high rents.

It's a plugin for Decky loader that allows you to control the Steam Deck's fan

Chromium is still controlled by Google, so having an overwhelming market share of Chromium-based browsers reduces competition and increases Google's control of the market's position and future. Using Firefox (and Safari, if it were not locked to a single ecosystem) reduces that threat.

Interesting how they discussed hardware mods but not software mods (for the OS, not for games). I'm probably biased, but I'd think those would be more popular than hardware mods since they're much more accessible to the average user.

Ideally yes, though it would probably also require a reboot to apply. Realistically disabling security mitigations should only expose you to risk when you execute untrusted code (e.g. load a website, run an untrusted program, or etc.), but there's no way of telling if someone could connect to your system using an exploit and then abuse those hardware security flaws.

Consider your own risk tolerance -- is it worth it to you to get that extra few % of performance and risk someone gaining access to information on your Deck (and/or using that information to access other sensitive information)? It might also be worth mentioning that most games aren't 100% trustworthy since we don't exactly know what they're running since game studios don't share their source code.

It being harder to repair means it shouldn't be repairable? That's an... interesting stance to take. Right to Repair is all about giving people the information and resources necessary to make a repair, especially if it's not designed to be repaired.
