- rixed 6y agoDo you mean software security issue one could exploit given physical access (which sounds a much minor issue than hardware obsolescence in this world of overproduction and waste) or risk of physical harm due to, say, fire hazard or similar?
- ta17711771 6y agoThis is Hacker News. I'm speaking of exploits/firmware vulnerabilities. New hardware brings new mitigations, like the Pixels + GrapheneOS for example. Used to think Android/mobiles were awful from a security perspective. Boy was I wrong. Still awful for privacy, if Airplane mode is off, but, still.
