The only customers who care about DRM are the suppliers; not the users. Force the user to not be able to play DRM content, and they'll end up pirating. Furthermore, I never demanded a new Android TV version. All I wanted was security f

Well, that depends on your use-cases. Your profession, hobby, etc. If you perform pentests or red teaming, a mobile device with CLI access is very useful (whether a smartphone is suffice I leave up to the reader). If you are using the devic

I own a GPD Pocket 2. Terrible support from this company. First of all, my screen had an issue (immediately apparent on first boot) and they refused to solve it. So if you buy such from outside of Europe, buy from Amazon instead of directly

On the bottom of the website, several use cases are mentioned. It is a fairly robust list of examples. Anything with USB-A is neat with this type of device. For example, a LimeSDR USB would work (even a uSDR for M.2, though I'd wait fo

This is why I went with a Hackberry Pi CM5 [1]. I insert the CM5 I want to, and there's that. It comes with a good, proven BB keyboard. No option for GPIO pins or gamepad module, but I don't need such anyway. Instead, what I have

I think you need to register on a real Mac (2 of 3 of my MBPs use OCLP), but then can use an emulated one if you add it to your Apple account. Either way, I don't recommend to use a protocol behind such a moat. Probably better to use S

I was thinking more of deliberate backdoor in code. RCE is an obvious example, but another one could be bias. "I'm sorry ma'am, computer says you are ineligable for a bank account." These ideas aren't new. They were

Those are four solid reasons to leave Twitter. There's many more reasons. I quit my Twitter account pretty much around the time Musk took it over (he became a more of a looney around the time he had contact with Putin in end of 2022),

Here in NL I've been able to replace router (Zyxel in my case) and ONT (Huawei in my case) with one SFP+ (went with some South-Korean one). Only had to register the serial of my SFP+.
