GrapheneOS will fix this with App Communication Scopes
https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/111359936037411368
Once it's ready and deployed, it will not only restrict IPC, but also app visibility
I'm gonna add this to the megathread on wiki.dbzer0.com/piracy as soon as it gets fixed
Non-American CPUs are very rare. NXP and Infineon are European chip makers, but the only device with an NXP SoC that I'm aware of right now would be the Purism Librem 5. An almost 7 year old, absolutely overpriced, nearly unusable, insecure Linux phone.
We're a little more lucky when it comes to storage. Goodram is flash memory manufacturer from Poland. Intenso is based in Germany. G.Skill and ADATA are Taiwanese. Toshiba and Kioxia are Japanese, SK Hynix and Samsung are South Korean.
(TrekStor is also German, but I'm not sure if they make the chips themselves)
Most mainboard manufacturers, such as MSI, AsRock, ASUS, Gigabyte and Biostar are Taiwanese.
That's true
Yeah I guess, but to be fair, that's gonna be the case for basically every single piece of enterprise software under the sun.
Microsoft Windows is the best example of vendor lock-in.
A wise decision
I really enjoy this paragraph as well: https://signal.org/blog/cellebrite-vulnerabilities/#the-rite-place-at-the-cellebrite-time
The rite place at the Celleb…rite time
By a truly unbelievable coincidence, I was recently out for a walk when I saw a small package fall off a truck ahead of me. As I got closer, the dull enterprise typeface slowly came into focus: Cellebrite. Inside, we found the latest versions of the Cellebrite software, a hardware dongle designed to prevent piracy (tells you something about their customers I guess!), and a bizarrely large number of cable adapters.
I don't work for SAP, but I've dealt with the software both as a user and an administrator quite a few times. It's horrible, but all the alternatives are even worse. ERP is not a particularly nice field of technology. Corporate loves it though.
And you could abbreviate anything any way you wanted as long as it was still unambiguous.
Oh that reminds me of diskpart on Windows. I always liked the fact that I could abbreviate "assign" to "ass".
There have been multiple updates, but I can’t find them because the search feature on Mastodon sucks. I also picked this post, because it includes a screenshot.
