This extremely well hidden backdoor was an interesting find:

Hoping GrapheneOS makes it onto the Motorola Razor (Ultra) soon.


When I hear a discussion among peers about Apple AI and security I remind them of this:

Apple's reputation of being highly secure was shattered by Operation Triangulation. This complex back door allowed the hacker the ability to utilize the on-device AI to sift through data.


The first jailbreak for iOS was available within six months of the original iPhone release, I'm not sure why you think this particular exploit "shattered" a reputation that hadn't existed for 15+ years.


Graphene on Razr Ultra - YES! Can't come soon enough.


I'm sold as well!


I regularly support Windows users and when I do, I cringe at just how awful the experience is! (My daily driver for the last decade have been various flavours of linux)

High end Windows 10/11 machines (like my Alienware I9 w/ 64GB mem + RTX4090) seem a bit sluggish. Low end machines with Windows are absolutely painful to use!

I've install debian onto my fairly ancient Lenovo X201 Tablet and it is exceptionally snappy.


> I've install debian onto my fairly ancient Lenovo X201 Tablet and it is exceptionally snappy.

I'm running Debian since Debian 1.1 (1.1, not 11). My install has always been very lean: a minimal WM I love.

Computers have only ever gotten fast and Linux more optimized.

It's extremely snappy indeed and feels like it. The problem is what happens inside browsers: are great many websites are just lame. So many pointless connections to so many pointless "telemetry" services, trying to track your every single habit/clicks. Just open the dev tools and look at all the trafic exchanged: that's where the bloat is.

The SV JavaScript "punch the monkey" ads bros at work.


Carney is one of the most popular "Liberal" PMs west of Ontario in decades. His popularity in Alberta is higher than Daniel Smith. This can only be good for Canada as a whole IMHO.


Probably the most evil PMs that we have ever had. Literally a international banker! Its like electing the monopoly man lol.


Oh wow. Canadians should have elected PP or Jagmeet with known ties to extremist organizations or maybe give another chance to JT to ruin the country.


Not to rain on your parade about known ties to extremist organizations but I would count Carney's contacts more extreme - and certainly more believable - than those Poilievre might be accused of having (which would those be?). I'd rather not have a globalist banker leading my country, fortunately I'm not a Canadian. I considered moving there in 2002 but I moved to Sweden instead and count my blessings ever since.


Nope, the pure evil award goes to Stephen Harper. He literally auctioned off and trashed decades of paper scientific research reports to get rid of all of those pesky climate statistics.


Yawn. Can you imagine 2026 and people are still into climate change. You are like 3 seasons out of fashion.

> clean your [item]

Anecdote: I gave an apprentice a small vacuum to fix, when he opened it up several live bed bugs emerged. That was fun! /s


In my experience most vacuums are 'broken' because they aren't cleaned.

I've been involved for several years. If you don't yet have one in your area, are handy at fixing things and have the inclination - contact them for info on starting one up.


> symbols need to be lit

100% this.

One of my absolute favorite keyboard designs: G915 TKL Lightspeed got relegated to the donation pile because the symbols were NOT backlit. Such a dumb design choice to save a few cents IMHO.


Because it's backlit I'm guessing changing the eclectic number row design isn't an option that can be easily changed (for this version anyway).


The usual way of doing backlight is by having the LED underneath the switch and letting the switch transmit the light upwards. Many switches have special cutout positions for this, so the lighting for all the square keys is identical.

The only issue is that the keycap itself needs to be partially translucent and partially opaque, so rather than laser-etching or printing a legend they need to be "double-shot"[0], which means a two-phase injection molding process. This makes altering of the keycaps quite expensive as you need a new set of molds - which is especially bad if you were using one mold to produce an entire set of keycaps at once.

It's definitely doable to ship it with two different number rows, but it's the kind of thing you really want to know at the very start.
