The Edge 20 series isn’t on the list and it’s only about 2 years old…

KeepassXC is for desktop, while DX is for Android.

Here is a script to easily install WireGuard and generate client config files for any server: https://github.com/Nyr/wireguard-install

Sure, I get that. The issue is that as soon as you introduce the ability to install apps from outside the App Store, it becomes possible to trick unsuspecting users into clicking buttons they don’t understand. By designing a web page to look like an actual Apple page, a malicious party could convince users to “opt in” to outside sources, in a similar way in which phishing websites harvest users’ online banking credentials. Currently, this kind of attack is entirely impossible on iPhone.

On malware being distributed through alternate stores, yes. For example:

• https://cybernews.com/news/over-9-million-android-devices-infected-with-new-trojan-from-huaweis-app-store/
• https://www.pcmag.com/news/study-reveals-googles-play-store-is-main-distributor-of-malicious-apps (Table VII, “alt-market” row)

The real user benefit will be very small

This is just my gut feeling. It is based on not knowing anyone IRL that has willingly installed an Android app from outside the Play Store, but actually knowing people that avoid it because of the potential security implications.

You have to remember that the vast majority of smartphone users are not power users, and not the people who hang out on these forums. While something may look attractive in small circles like these, there are many other factors to consider when targetting the entire userbase.

I think that’s exactly the problem. The real user benefit will be very small, but in order to enable those changes, functionality will be implemented on everyone’s phones to support sideloading. In my eyes, this increseas the attack surface against iPhones. Time and time again alt stores have been used to distribute fake apps and malware on Android, and the victims are often those users who haven’t asked for sideloading and are unlikely to use it intentionally.

Yes, maybe this will enable an F-droid equivalent on iPhone and it will be great to have direct access to open-source apps. But is this niche addition worth potentially reducing the security of all iPhones? I’m not convinced.

Is it a local-only client, or does it download email on their cloud servers first?

I think it refers to an MMORPG related to the Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West games.

The architectures are named after scientists. This one is for the mathematician David Blackwell.

Now, Google is bringing in Manifest V3, a new version of Chromium.

If this is the level of their understanding, it’s hard to trust anything this outlet publishes.

What were the limitations of borg that you ran into?

Here are some alternatives you can try.

ITT: People that don’t know the difference between privacy and security.

I think they run a lot of compute shader, so that they can offload part of the simulation to the GPU, so anything that reduces the utilization of the GPU could improve performance overall.

The same goes for Ubuntu. The aarch64 architecture is supported just like x86-64 and everything works great.

Thanks! I’ll try out the lists when I get the chance :)

Do you know the Hagezi lists compare to oisd.nl? The latter have also been great for me, with no false positive that I can remember.

I’ve had bad experience with FocalBoard. Several times it lost data for no apparent reason, including during updates. Eventually I decided to stop using it because it was too fragile.

I understand that hating on OneDrive is popular here, but 1) you can remove it using the registry editor, and 2) if you don’t log in and tell it to sync, it doesn’t do anything in the background.

Yeah, I see it. Horrible for the users though…
