Then you should be able to provide an actual link of an in the wild exploit.

So basically, you have no in the wild exploit that you can have me load up on my phone and have it become compromised. Got it. Thanks for proving my point.

I'll make it easier for you. I have a Nubia phone which runs Pie. Its last security patch is dated August 5th, 2019. Play Services and Chrome are fully updated. Where is there an in the wild exploit that you can point me to? Proof of c

Intel's hubris is still getting in the way. When companies like Cloudflare are openly announcing that none of their upcoming servers will use Intel, you have to admit something's wrong. https://www.theregister.com/

Show me one exploit in the wild that you would download from Google Play or be affected by using an updated Google Chrome from the Play Store. Just because security updates stop doesn't mean your device is immediately insecure and cann

BIOS updates are OS independent. It's the first screen you see when you turn on the device that tests the memory and finds the first bootable drive. It's not a Linux Mechanic thing.

Ah yes. A coked up douchebro with a paid title who trashed the largest irc network in the world is surely an expert on why the internet is beginning to fail.

Oh, why use specifics when you can just say "A lot" and "don't work at all"?

My last 5 laptops, with the exception of my Chromebook Pixel LS, have been Windows laptops I wiped to install Linux on. The worst issue I had was one needed a BIOS update so that Wifi would work properly. Things working is less of a concern

I would have no problem supporting System76... if the foundation of their hardware wasn't whiteboxed crap to begin with. The insane markup for subpar hardware is what leaves a bad taste in my mouth on top of that.

Better Vendors: Any. I currently have a Teclast laptop that I imported and wiped to put Linux on. Worked out of the box. Previous system was a Chromebook Pixel LS. Ran like a champ. It's not difficult to get a Debian derivative running

Managed to do this on a Teclast, HP Envy, Dell XPS, Chromebook Pixel LS and Lenovo (Thinkpad and Ideapad) Not exactly sure why people think it's so remarkable to have things working correctly in Linux on the same hardware other OEMs us

Subpar, overpriced hardware that is whiteboxed from another manufacturer. Too few options, barely considered design, fundamentally underwhelming overall.

Lasers still expand as the beam travels. The dot when you aim at your hand is smaller than the dot on the wall 10 feet away. By the time you aim at something a thousand or two feet in the air, it's pretty close to filling the cockpit w

It's all Clevo based anyway. System76 doesn't go much beyond what they source. It's a shame, if they actually made the effort to design a laptop that went beyond its foundation, I'd be more interested. But instead it&#x2

NSFW warning: First image in the article shows (slightly obscured) anal penetration in a photo that is a cover of a magazine. Doesn't bother me, but may not be a safe click for some of you.

Yep. If Windows Update isn't destructive enough in how it decides it will reboot and install updates without the user's consent , Windows Update has also ended up bricking systems at times. It's vile and a pain in the ass to
