Librem 5 speakers cannot be used for recording, according to the developers. Yes, all kill switches protect you from the sensors. This is indeed a misunderstanding, again. Reliable protection is possible - this is all I wanted to say. Not e

I don't understand you. All I said was that using three kill switches 100% protects you from any listening and tracking. strcat said the opposite. We can't be both right. According to the docs and schematics, I'm right. You n

On Qubes forum, you had replies from far more knowledgeable people than me. You never could answer to them. You only talk about the lack of security of Pureboot and never showed the code breaking it. "Talk is cheap, show me the code&qu

I never said that. I only assumed that a user followed the docs when using Qubes-Whonix.

by fsflover 6mo ago
You are right, and I am saying exactly the same thing. You seem to misunderstand that Qubes saves you whenever you use it as designed by its security approach. To benefit from Qubes security, you have to use virtualization to compartmentali

I don't understand what you mean. Did I add rants to GrapheneOS docs?

I would expect that most Qubes users (including myself) do not virtualize GPUs and use the CPU to render graphics outside of dom0.

Here you go: https://qubes-os.org .

Actually, it should work indeed, unless it lacks some Linux drivers or VT-d.

Tested hardware can be found here https://qubes-os.org/hcl . New hardware is being constantly added. If you plan to switch to Qubes, consider buying something from that list or, better, certified, or community-recommended ha

Different VMs result in different identifiers.
584.
by fsflover 6mo ago
On Qubes, you do not create a new identity in the same VM. This would go against the Qubes approach to security/privacy. Using separate VMs for independent tasks is the whole point of using Qubes.

Yes, because such move decreases the target audience accordingly.

It seems Qubes OS and Qubes-Whonix are not affected.

by fsflover 6mo ago
What exactly is accurate? Have you seen my reply to that? Hardware kill switches cut power and prevent any recording.

Yes, I don't like when anybody spreads falsehoods about any important free software. Do you? However your example is unrelated. Their arguments were rather reasonable and informative in the discussion you linked to. So I don't com

A true non-Apple and non-Google OS already exists. Sent from my Librem 5 running GNU/Linux.

And after 5 years? My phone runs mainline Linux and thus will have lifetime updates, just like my laptop.

If you choose non-e-ink displays, than the best longevity will be for GNU/Linux devices like Librem 11.

Because people don't understand the security implications of non-updated software?
