Frustrated users crowdfund a $2,000 fix for Lenovo Legion ‘speakers not working properly’ error — bug bounty posted, coder wins the cash by fixing complex audio annoyance in just a month
Reply in thread
True, but the guy who fixed it is an EU researcher in CS in Canada. I highly doubt he did it for the money. He seems to be into puzzles. It sucks that Lenovo did not compensate him though.

Manufacturer issues remote kill command to disable smart vacuum after engineer blocks it from collecting data — user revives it with custom hardware and Python scripts to run offline
Reply in thread
For me the worst part is that someone developed the functionality to monitor and track, until the signal is lost, and if so, kill. It's really crazy how daring this is.

I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too
Reply in thread
This is a big issue that the fairphone doesn't have its dtb open yet. It's not easy to build ROM for it. Despite their core claim of sustainability, without addressing the blobs, it remains just a tad more convenient for green minded people. We need a full Fairphone.

Arch Linux's AUR Sees More Than 400 Packages Compromised With Malware
Currently you can use https://github.com/lenucksi/aur-malware-check to do a check if you're infected. My main server was safe, still haven't tested on my wayland machine though, I went yolo with that one. No important keys at least are there.

Sony/Yoti reporting users to authorities for using GrapheneOS
Reply in thread
This is unexpected, given that Sony had a really great support for allowing bootloader unlock and support for AOSP. Till today you could flash Jolla's SailfishOS on their devices.

Literally not the point. Companies being predatory, and using literal misinformation, and deception tactics to bend the law and screw up consumers to drive consumption is the point. Good for you being a brainless consumer who is totally fine being cucked by the "rent your hardware" industry, the many of us prefer to actually own our tools.

China’s Moonshot AI releases Kimi K3, the largest open source model ever, rivaling top U.S. systems
It's not released as open-weight yet. They plan to do so on the 27/07, so I just hope that is not a tactic to build momentum then change their mind à la Elon for the hype. Nonetheless, performance wise it's amazing, only downside is the size ... 3T. Good luck running that on "consumer hardware".

Their main growth drivers are data centers, when demand will dry within 2 years, a bubble will pop. Especially when theoretical architecture of Neural Network change, the need for high performance will decrease.

I think for non-tech users, this is definitely a hack. It's like script kiddies level damage, except using AI.

Write-Up: My Multi-Purpose Travel Server
Great project. One risk I see (and faced in the past) is dying sdcards. They hold up much less overtime compared to ssds. Did you face this before? I have gotten a bunch a corruption on my dbs, and even filesystems (ext4). SDcards are vulnerable especially if running 24/7. I wonder if there are better tiers or better solutions.
