Ok, so I can come change your locks then
To exfiltrate the login password from a keylogger on a macbook, for example, you need to have some software running on the cpu as well as the keyboard itself. This makes it very difficult to do in reality, as you have to infect both devices and if you do not have physical access, your exploit needs to be done across the keyboard interface, which makes it very hard to do in practice. Swapping any random keyboard in that could potentially be malicious introduces two issues, as now the keyboard itself may have a keylogger, as well as opening the possibility of exploiting some vulnerability in the cpu from the keyboard itself. You therefore open two attack surfaces that were previously closed, which is highly significant.
people have different levels of risk acceptance and that’s ok
Except it is the editorial agenda of ifixit to promote legislation that requires this lesser level of security, which makes it not ok. Outlawing verification in software requires all devices to have the same vulnerability at the interface, it would even affect users who want to buy OEM.
I’m not saying it has to be absurd, but no one is acknowledging that the security risks are real, and requiring a lesser standard of security is a cost of legislating this stuff, which it is the editorial stance of ifixit to support
It absolutely could, if the processor trusts that the data coming from the faceid sensor is accurate, the faceid sensor can simply lie. You’re removing a layer of defense, which necessarily impacts security
So then you’ll let me change the locks on your front door to one I choose?
No, give me the argument that you can secure these interfaces, some of which provide biometric security, without verifying vendor origin in software
often are genuine, but Apple makes features not work unless paired
Because unless you pair the screen, the device has no way to know it’s genuine. If it’s not, it could implement any number of attacks, including keyloggers, screen stealers, etc
don’t believe
Why shouldn’t I? No one has given an argument that you can actually secure these peripherals without software locks, I bought my iPhone and MacBook because they offer security, even when I run Linux on it my MacBook has far superior boot security (the only thing apple has engineering control over in that use case) than any intel machines I’ve used
Also lol that article, you know the difference between one incident and a pervasive effort to mine your privacy for profit
Mfs out here want to install their bootleg faceid in my phone at their sketchy self repair place so they can sell my data and break its security. Let’s not pretend ifixit isn’t the exact same rent seeking that apple is, they just want to be the middle man
There’s a lot of countries with belligerent neighbors who so far have not developed a nuclear program watching what kind of help Ukraine gets and for how long very, very closely
That does nothing for the prices at the low end, and it keeps most landlords happily in their current (extremely high) rents. What hope do middle and lower class people have to outbid the rich for the same houses?
No chance buddy, we’ve heard it all before
Nuclear Weapons are mostly a Paper Tiger
I can’t wait to glow with you
I’m sure that kind of thing makes the residents of Seoul much less agreeable to getting a nuclear deterrent
Don’t you get it? We’re on the same side, I think the US should stay out of Taiwan and South Korea also, that’s why they need nuclear weapons! Probably Japan too, if history is anything to go by. Vietnam as well
The US is an unreliable security partner, what if trump wins next year for example? The only way South Korea (and Taiwan to be fair) can secure their independence and sovereignty is a nuclear deterrent
Cmon South Korea, build nukes already!!
This is revisionist, that sequence of events was what caused him to start to play footsie with the idea of buying Twitter, the SEC saying that’s a big no-no is what made him actually make the offer to buy it and then he was forced by a court to finish the deal after a long legal battle to not buy it
If no claim was made what was the substance of the quote?
All new scams!
