Volkswagen blocked its app from running on GrapheneOS GrapheneOS is used by security researchers, journalists, privacy advocates, and anyone who takes mobile security seriously The Volkswagen app still runs on Android phones that haven't received a security update in years Volkswagen's stated reason: GrapheneOS lacks official Android features the app depends on. GrapheneOS passes Google Play Integrity API checks It is more secure than stock Android by every measurable standard. Volkswagen can remotely control your car from a phone They have decided that phone must be one the manufacturer still controls The most secure phone you can own is now too secure to start your Volkswagen Volkswagen didn't block GrapheneOS because it's insecure nahhh they blocked it because GrapheneOS removes the telemetry hooks their app depends on the "official Android features" they're referring to are data collection infrastructure your car app doesn't need Google Play Services to start your engine it needs it to report back security is not the concern control is the concern

Faster releases from here on out. When you configure your next machine, you can now choose from: • Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (new!) • Ubuntu 24.04 LTS • Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS with COSMIC DE (our favorite!) #Linux #Ubuntu #system76

Why fetch through clutter when you can cut straight to the chase?

We've added dice rolling support for all you gamers out there.

much more important is to disable these two boxes as well. Without this, windows can change your volume at any given point and it LOVES to do that. Also background apps could also randomly access these and fool around with them which can lead to e.g. software for your mic/speakers trying to keep the volume on X while windows thinks it's too lound and resets it to Y which is an endless loop that costs ressources and also fucks up anything that uses sound incl. your voice on stream

In true Windows fashion — there are two places where you might find this setting. It could be in either place, or both. Who the fuck knows.

If your mic has been sounding ultra terrible lately, it might not be you — Windows recently enabled audio enhancements on all my microphones. You might want to turn this off. My last 7 YouTube videos were ruined because Microsoft decided to turn this on without telling me. Thanks @Videophile for the assist.

This story is actually insane: • dude drops $2000 on a DJI robot vacuum like a lunatic • refuses to use the normal app like a peasant • Sammy Azdoufal fires up Claude to crack the API so he can drive it with an xbox controller • Claude delivers the goods • pulls an auth token from their servers, connects successfully • except the system thinks he controls 7000 vacuums • checks again • yep, seven thousand • DJI built authentication with zero device ownership verification • any valid token works for any unit on the planet • Sammy now has eyes inside homes across 24 countries • live vacuum camera feeds everywhere • full floor plans from the mapping data • some guy in germany eating cereal at 3am, unaware his roomba is snitching • one API call away from being the most informed burglar in history • all he wanted was to steer his vacuum with a joystick • does the right thing and reports it • DJI fixes it in two days • back to normal life with his stupidly expensive floor cleaner • IoT companies stay undefeated at shipping garbage security
