The problem is that apparently, often enough that is just not the case.
On laptops, the LED is not powered with the camera, but controlled by it. And on smartphones, if it's a green dot on the display it can obviously be bypassed in different ways given the right vulnerabilities.
Also, aside from that, your condescending attitude is frustrating.
More or less spin the bottle meets strip poker meets fapping. The ADHD tiktok video format plus effectively doing this in a zoom room instead of in person is new I guess.
As described in the README, the combination of root access and locking the bootloader has the caveat that it's easy to brick your boot partition by accidentally making changes to it. That causes the signature check to fail, and then you have to unlock the bootloader and wipe all your data to re-flash it.
I don't know if there's any good solution to this, since all this seems to be necessary for the security model.
EDIT: Wait, isn't this what A/B partitions are for? (ie, you can brick one partition and still boot from the other)
Also, shouldn't it be possible to flash an image signed with the correct keys without unlocking the bootloader and wiping the user data?
It also has the caveat that protecting against privileged attacker persistence doesn't work by definition, so it only provides protection against physical attacks. The protection against physical attacks is also reduced through having the keys available on a lower security device as would typically be the case.
You would spend some time outdoors being active, which is good for you but also entirely possible without killing animals. I'd argue that's the same for meat.
> DP has a HDMI compatibility mode that allows a DP output to output a HDMI signal, but at the wrong voltage. The external adapters are just level shifters to bring the signal voltages into compliance with HDMI, but their entirety passive devices.
That's DP++, which is not supported on all DP outputs, and notably is not supported by the USB-C DP AltMode.
You usually can't do much against anti-repair or anti-consumer stuff alone (especially in organizations), and that people often feel like they're the only ones who care in a five mile radius. The idea is that the clippy pics activate people to actually do something, because they feel like that precondition of others also caring and wanting to do something is fulfilled.
I sometimes think about trying keyboard things like this, but I'm pretty much always on the go with my laptop.
My desk at home can be described as just the horizontal surface that happens to be near where I sleep and sometimes do other stuff, not my primary place of doing computer activities.
Is there some kind of very portable ergonomic/alternative typing device? Maybe something designed for steno or whatever. It would be cool if I could just hold it in my hands, since often that'd be more comfortable than the surface my laptop is on.
Some models include a carrying case, but I'm not sure I'd describe them as "very portable". For example the Glove80 has a hard-shelled case, but the case itself is probably bigger than most laptops. The Moonlander packs smaller into a soft case that folds like a wallet, but it's less protective.
There are designs with far fewer keys that could probably be carried around more easily, but then you have to learn their layer/chording system.
The Svalboard has an extra issue that some folks prefer it to be placed below desk height, such as attached to a chair or sitting on an under-desk shelf, so it's not something you can generally just put on a table in front of the computer.
You actually can connect two machines via USB-C (USB4 / Thunderbolt) and you get a network connection.
You only get Link-Local addresses by default, which I recall as somewhat annoying if you want to use SSH or whatever, but if you have something that does network discovery it should probably work pretty seamlessly.
The same thing happens with two machines connected via an Ethernet cable, which appears to be what this USB4 network feature does - an Ethernet NIC to software, but with different lower layer protocols.
AIUI, most NICs these days do what is called "auto-crossover"; i.e., they'll detect the situation and just do the "crossover" in the NIC itself. A normal cable works.
