Pretty sure most of us ssaw the video XD
Their only weak point.
I'm not buying a new laptop at that price range. I'm going to keep looking for a deal, whatever brand it ends up being. 
âwhen itâs time to get a new cpu, you just buy the new motherboardâ
i mean i guess itâs not any different with desktop intel cpus 
im totally looking for a new laptop at that pricepoint :p
Yeah, true xd but this is a thin laptop
not super convinced by windows laptops in general
or linux, if you will, which i believe is a worse nightmare
im gonna slap ubuntu on it so fast
it fixes the issue so you can get a good crop since it doesn't actually show the indicator + the crop tool in discord can only zoom in so much if you have a image larger than that you wont get a good crop
yea
if it has all the indicators amd mobile indicator placement it would be god tier
cause mobile indicators almost dont cut into the pic at all
it could be made into a website easily to show all the different sizes on different resolutions and platforms
but idk website design so yea
nvm
ya memberlist uses desktop placement of the indicator
for member list and profile sheet
discord devs get paid hourly
like phone displays are high res enough to make the online indicators appear as good when theyâre small
what the fuck
no it doesn't from what I know
unles this is because im using dev edition?
compiled as console application
Yes literally read the last line there..
fr
cause its nice to quickly do a thing that the editing in the image viewer doesnt do
why are you using the dev version
cause I installed it with winget and I was curious about the nightly build
so for no reason got it
ye
quin i thought youâre not new
I saw a flatpak app one time that did this stuff automatically for a bunch of popular apps
forgot the name ;-;
you just gave it an image and it showed you various sizes and shapes you can change it to
might have been this https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.taiko2k.avvie
Find and install hundreds of apps and games for Linux. Enjoy GIMP, GNU Octave, Spotify, Steam and many more!
i have never thought so much about a profile pic
I hate aligning them right on Discord .-.
i keep forgetting i even have one here
it changes from the preview to what you end up with
aligning stuff can be annoying sometimes, And since discord only allows you to change it twice in a certain time period
yep .-.
what even is that rate limit lmao
didnt people use scripts at one point to automatically change their pfp every half second so they could get "animated" profile photos?
small company with bad servers i guess
they also removed apngs from discord entirely
yep
people used to use those for pfps too
sure but twice per x minutes makes zero sense
yeh ;-.
u see its once every 30mins
or was it 60
ya its once an hr
MSI ultra premium motherboard design for Ryzen 7000 CPUs MSI X670E GODLIKE from the MEG series is big and powerful. First pictures of the new motherboard PCB design have been shared by Wccftech. The MEG GODLIKE and its sibling MEG ACE are to offer the best features MSI has to offer. This premier motherboard design [âŚ]
peacock
this conversations getting a little to real and personal I'm out
so uh...how do you fix a very badly burned in AMOLED screen?
my uncle NEVER locks his fucking phone, he just uses the cover case to cover the screen and forgets about it
so all the home scren icons are burned in really badly
You replace it?
I dont think severe burning has fixes
and learn to FUCKING LOCK THE PHONE .-.
Screen replacements can cost less than 100 bucks depending on where you do it and what phone it is
Since the phone is less than 6months old he might get lucky.
Screens by default are turned off after a little bit, not sure why one would turn that off
Obv if you have an iphone never repair it at an official iphone shop
But also aren't cases supposed to do magic to turn off the screen
this one doesnt
So it's not a brand new ultra recent phone right ?
That's just shitty design. They have a light sensor that if blocked should shut off the screen fast. And in general.
Unless you specifically bypass this.
i set his screen timeout to the lowest setting in the hopes it wont get worse
cause he also keeps the screen at full brightness cause he uses his phone outdoors basically all day
Fucking finally

Want to know just what makes Nothing Phone (1) and Nothing OS tick? Look no further.

Yes it's a mystical concept
Lmao
no?
Just use krita
Correct
i wish there was good phones on the market rn
my SOT of my oneplus 7t pro is literally less than 3 and a half hours
... there are good phones on the market rn...
There are good budget phones in the market rn as well..
Redmi is decent for vudget
And there are also good high end ones...
Nobody said Samsung
my dad has the S22 Ultra and its awful
There's another one that starts with S 
Well oneplus fell off
And they make phenomenal phones
xiaomi is eh
Just nobody ever remembers they exist
not getting one
you mean sugoma?
dik?
Iphone 14 pro is on my list but apple would need some great convincing lol
and it aint out
Bruh
I keep talking about it 
i guess sony
That it is
but no way am i getting a sony lol
Sony Xperia is THE high end smartphone
Only experience i had with sony phone lasted 2 updates
definitely gonna buy the new iphone unless somebody else decides to make something as good that would completely outweigh the fact android is terrible
I want nothing to make a high end nothing phone
Phone died as soon as the second update finished
So you are retarded, I see
tbh just slap a SD8G1 in the nothing phone 1 and put some better sensors in the camera, ill download gcam mod and be happy
Sony - top end hardware, clean software, fully unlockable and moddable
Price to match is the main negative
No support
Support for what
and, you know, the giant bezels
Update suppory
going back to 2016
they're symmetrical on the nothing phone so idm
I don't want roms
i mean sony
name a phone let me look on XDA
and yes we know that nothing has made an iphone
xda forum for new devices sucks holy shit
Sony who seriously downgraded the performance of its cameras when rooting?
wait what
there is no roms
In the past
there is literally nothing in the development category for this phone....
ur kidding
LMAO
nothing even in themes apps mods
thats so sad omg
same story
Tf
Xperia 1 III has a shit ton of ROMs
Tbf 1 IV came out like what, a month or two ago
doesn't matter
I made the how to root guide for the 7T Pro literally day 1 i got the phone (and i preordered) which was an achievement back then because android 10 ootb changed a lot about the partition layout of this phone making rooting difficult with the state of magisk back then
8 days after release
bruh also that top comment is delusional
the dude is arguing with another guy and he thinks that guy is the OP
he's not even following my guide either he's doing something completely different
thats hilarious
also excuse the username i made that account when i was 13 tryna figure out how to root my shield k1 tablet LOL
THE NEW MACBOOK LAPTOP KEYBOARDS ARENT BACKLIT??? wat tf
surely they are?
I need to look into this
what did u think
Welcome to apple products
o.o
i dont know any recent macbook that isnt backlit
the new Air doesnt seem to be
at least in this video
do you have to manually enable it, maybe?
backlight isnt always on
that would ruin ur battery life and its stupid regardless
it goes on when you're typing
if u have the brightness up
u can slide it
and the macbook air has this too
m2
ahh ok good good
i have the brightness pretty low because i find the screen already lights up the keys enough
yeh, I barely use mine except in the dark
same
my new laptop turns the backlight off after 15 seconds if you dont use the keyboard
Nah too much effort
Same
which is done via hardware cause it happens the same way in any OS
Oddly enough it goes on even when I type on a external keyboard lol
my OS is smart
mac
aha
huh?
xd
AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU already running past the recommended speed Toppc, an overclocker working for MSI, is teasing the upcoming Ryzen 7000 DDR5 memory capabilities. A screenshot from CPU-Z tool shows 64GB of DDR5 memory clocked at 3202.7 MHz (6400 MT/s) with a CAS Latency of 32 clocks. The screenshot alone does not confirm whether [âŚ]
Who asked for this?
Buzzword spam execs
Exactly that
Tencent, more like we're collecting all ur data on CCP owned servers for tencent's per KB
Gotta love it when you move a motor that has nothing to do with two others and the closet one has an exploded capacitor while the furthest one has burned chip. Thanks China.
You chose to buy it
I mean not really any other good options, and could have just been a dud. Other people with the same board have it running well.
This seems like the right chat but like whatâs the worst u can do to someone when you have there number
not going to answer that becuase you could fuck over whoever gets the number after that person decided they need a new one
So now what do I do when this one person is threatening to kill me but has my number
And who can I find to screw him over đ
What should I do abt that
Btw we both in our early years of HS
I have ss of him saying ima die and shit
And? Tell him to go to hell and ignore his sorry ass
And weâre talking he starts calling me ass and shit and so I go on and bring up his friend group leaving him
Record it, keep text messages, report it to the school.
I got the messages
And of course report it to the police to have it on record.
if its more than just petty HS drama go see police and/or someone from the school
"this guy wants to kill me what phone pranks should I do on him"
He threatening to kill me so like
Okay so back on topic for the channel. I'm thinking of getting my DDR5 ram in advance of Ryzen AM5. I'm looking at Corsair Dominator Platinum or Vengeance but they look the same except one doesn't have RGB and it's like 60$ cheaper
Latency seems to be the same, speed is the same, so I'm not sure what the difference is
I wouldn't get it early
Is ram really gonna change all that much in 2 or 3 months?
LMFAOOOO
we dont know what zen4 needs, if its speeds like before to keep IF clock high or lower latency is better etc.
Ah fair.
and yes I do think prices still go down as I'm sure some might wait to release the latest kit with the cpus when they come out
I expected prices to raise when the new CPUs came out tbh
cant say for certain either way but I doubt it
Ok now call us when Episode 3 releases
oh wait this is 2022
ive not played the half life 2 episodes
does the story end like there will be more or is it a definite finish?
why even is there a desktop
Yeah the classic VGUI theme is pretty nice I might just copy it to my fat computer
Nothing wrong with thicc
does a portable gaming oriented platform need a desktop if steam already has big picture?
its like the switch suddenly having a desktop
just dont see a point in it
Thats the misconception
isnt gaming mode basically just a web browser anyway?
The switch is a closed environment computer, a micro-computer/console.
It does one thing.
The Deck is a full computer, an open environment.
Its shape doesn't mean anything in that context
Also its not Big Picture Mode, its different
And it isnt a replacement for a desktop environment
AMD Ryzen 7000 series to be unveiled this month According to Wccftech, AMD has set the date for hard launch of the new desktop Zen4 CPUs. This is a follow-up to official confirmation to AMD releasing Ryzen 7000 series this quarter. AMD CEO Lisa Su narrowed down the release date during Q&A session regarding the [âŚ]
That's not as important as Radeon GPUs
In august? Interesting
Hopefully we see an announcement for the cards too
idk i see the deck more like a laptop that got an amputation and got some cobtrols grafted on
Aye, it is a laptop. That doesn't make it less a computer even if it has controls built into it.
Also there are others that have integrated controllers far far worse lol
Anyways the Steam Deck is a UMPC and thats a computer format that has been around for over 15 years
with less IO than a mac 
Course, UMPC failed in the consumer market many years ago for various reasons lol
By what, one port?
Not much bragging in that regard
No wait
Stram Deck has an audio port
sd card slot
usb C port
headphone jack
Yeah, three total
more ports than a macbook Air from 2019
didnt know we are in the year 2019
and pretty sure the usbc port is not thunderbolt
You knly said amount and didnt specify which macbook.
Also i dont know what the this years ones have. They keep making them constantly i cant keep up
Also it doesn't need thunderbolt, though i do plug a thunderbolt docking station it which works fine.
Intel's new Arc Alchemist GPUs ship with the first consumer hardware AV1 encoder. This is HUGE for the progress of higher-quality and lower-bandwidth video streams. Let's talk about why that is and how Intel's AV1 GPU encoder compares to NVENC, QuickSync, VCE/AMF and X264, and we'll throw the CPU encoder SVT-AV1 in the mix!
âśď¸ Get downloads of a...
At least Intel GPUs will have 1 desirable feature
Thatâs pretty horrible then ngl
It's a good one to have tho
too bad amd and nvidia will also have av1 so they have one nice feature maybe in time if they do release it at some point
Like headphone jack nice but itâs just that
Sd card reader can also just read sd cards. And then only one usb c port thatâs not even high bandwidth not so good
Not many people care
Hardly anyone will hook up a gpu to a 4 core cpu
It's a shame but not that big of a deal especially at the pricepoint
oh yeah its no issue because the main point of the deck is still to be a portable game devise
and while you can use it as a full on pc its just not made for that clearly
10gbps is alot, oculus quest 2 has 5gbps and they got a lot out of it
Don't know how you can say ita not made for that when it is
Its made to be both and it does both
But yeah if it was a thunderbolt it'd be an upgrade
Though that might drive up costs for licensing i think
it's not the primary use case, its not made for that
im not saying you cant use it for it
Still even for 1440p120 you would want 20
Not counting possibly connecting mouse, kb and more
I feel like at that point just buy a laptopÂŻ_(ă)_/ÂŻ
what are you on about needing 20gbps for a usecase the deck is never going to serve
I hook up mouse and keyboard to my deck
Well you may want to use it for media consumption at higher resolution
And a monitor
Fine as it is for casual media consumption. Obviously not meant for watching 4k movies kn
look I'm trying to say that you're already needing dongles or adapters to have mouse and keyboard attached so thats clearly not a primary desing goal, not that 4k60 videos that barely exist are slightly over the bandwith
Right i get it, its primarily a portable gaming platform. But its also dandy for a laptop replacement. I just plug it to my work docking station and it saves up space to boot.
if you like torturing your eyes by working on the tiny screen sure, otherwise I just see it same as tony that it can do it just not really make much sense, if you use it to power a a monitor, mouse/kb might as well just have a laptop that can be used easier when travelling
only reason I could think of would be budget limitations and them im still there are better options
I mean I can see a usecase for that.
I basically have 2 PC's in different places if the steamdeck came out earlier I could have replaced the one I use less with just docking the deck
Especially since I mostly play easier to run games
It's a niche situation but it does occur
so it works but clearly not made specifically for these rare cases
Yeah I agree it's not its primary function
Wasn't aware you had eye issues.
I do but I still think the steam deck screen is ok
No i meant quinn, they mention their eyes hurt if they look at something thats... bigger than a phone screen
Deck does have lower ppi than the majority of phones
well ye typing on the deck ait super weasy
cba having to constantly restate what I actually write because people cant read so I'm just gonna ignore the rest of the topic
It was a point i was making : its not torture to look at the decks screen
I like using the trackpad thingys
They are neat
And its bigger than the normal phone
again not what I said and I'm done
You literally said it was torture working on the tiny screen yet you don't even own one to know that.
imean he aint wrong
Would be bad if you used the screen for spreadsheet or sumthin
nice implication of you somehow knowing more about what I own than I do but ok
You never mentioned it before and always advocate against the deck and keep calling it a waste so its a good bet you wouldnt spend 400 bucks to get one.
so me saying I wont buy one because I have issues xyz that apply to ME and not others is advocating against it suddenly got it, and didn't know the deck is the only device in the world with a screen of that size
still eadier than using memebrane
easier
XD
Ngl membrane keyboard still better than typing on the deck
Would choose membrane any day of the week
Yeah it was an assumption quinn, im not denying it. I said it was guess work.
Would rather type with the deck
i can only use them old dell ones
Honestly would type with the deck rather than this phone i am using i hate touch typing
Niz switch count as membrane right?
Or topre
I'm 100% sure I'd type faster with less mistakes on a membrane board than using the deck
You could order sample switches
True but you can find cheapo mechnical keyboard of dubious quality at the least, as an option
Or find one used
There are like keyboard meetups or sum shit
They come with the same switches honestly
AliExpress has some real deals on mech boards last time I checked
Btw does your country have computer or tech stores like Best Buy?
Lol best buy has gaming keyboards
@digital cliff best buy will have display keyboard you can type and interact with all day, and different types to try out.
Also yes they have Blue Switches
Which is what you want if you want tactile
That or razors purple which is like blue
It sounds loke you don't like linear switches
Which is odd cause this discord is all about an analog keyboard lol
But yes for tactile you want blue switches
Or old keyboard like Springbucks
They still make them btw https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/SFNT
And i have one right here at work too <3
I think Fleimi was looking at not generic overused switches. Anything at the store is basically a clone that adds nothing of notable value.
Is it cursed to combine these?
ye
It is a 2012 production one though lol
@digital cliff i know is all good, im not meaning to sound like im bashing ya and such, sorry if it comes that way
Although the thing is MX Blue IS the tactile switch
Its clicky but you feel every bump and groove when you press it
There isnt kuch other options
Except for weird proprietary switches
What kind of switch are you wanting then?
There might be one but issue is tactile makss sound
Yeah but if it has tactile its gonna click
I wanted you to mention browns yeah
You feel those but no click
Ah
Well, theres always the switches Razer makes
Or
Old keyboards like Alp switched
Or the "Invaders" switches
I love my hall effect ones from wooting <3
Well if you find new or fancy tactile based switches, let me know. I love blues and tactile switches.
@ashen spindle BTW I am realizing I'm being rather an ass towards you by being extra argumentative lately, for reason that I don't know why. So I'm sorry that.
I'mma try to be more self-aware about it.
all good, at most I just get annoyed and stop the conversation so no big deal
I think perhaps I try to be too literal or defensive or unable to stop the conversation. or some mix.
oh most def.
I've seen the worst of the combination of SS13 and Reddit community.
even when some nazies came in to try to muck things up some years ago in that community.
guess the cpu
6700XT?
6700XD
11400
Or well I know thatâs wrong
But nothing to stop me from saying that
Itâs probably amd
4400 is very low
2600k
o.o I was thinking about like 3800
Oh nvm I was looking at overall score lol
Idk names of old CPUs tbh
2600k would score lower
I found that i7-3770K scores about 4.1k
So something 3770K level but maybe a bit higher
Xeon W3680
Yeah nobody would have guessed
My next guess would have been
Matches the CPU score
Explain
đ
Why
Cause it's ew
Old xeons are pog
Old xeons are ultra pog
This man knows
Anyways I remember somebody a few years back was offering me a rig with 4790K and I think a 1080
Glad I didn't buy it
Was on the more expensive side
Especially nowadays when CPUs are just pretty good
I run a ddr3 system with 18 cores in 1 cpu
Yeah this is my second pc I love fucking around with old hardware
My main system is ryzen but this still runs pretty well considering the cpu is 12 years old
The only Intel rig I would ever build would be with the OG i9-990X
Pair it with something like an HD5770 and call it a retro rig
This is x58
This is what
Chipset x58 first gen core series
old xeons are core series cpus but cheaper lol
Indeed they are
so very much pog
LGA1366 is kinda cute though
775 sticker mod goes
They are just naturally ew
I got about... uuuhh....11 xeon machines
I need ot get rid of my server machines honestly.
its literally the same silicon as the desktop parts with maybe some other fuses and markings to sell it as xeon instead
or were rather, now they stopped people from buying them to get top end cpus cheaper lol
Isn't magsafe just a fancy term for a magnetic clip?
Yes.
everyone who uses wireless charging is literally the devil
Doesn't 30% "less efficient way" talk about Lightning cable?
Or the wireless charging thing?
wired vs wireless
cause it makes a lot of heat
Idk for whatever reason wireless is a thing
30-40% of the energy used to wirelessly charge a device is lost from heat generation
No need to pay for USB licenses so you can just take away the charging port 
Boom, innovation
Itâs optional
Fuck your 3.5mm jack as well
Fully in fact
Not for long 
what r u talking about rn?
MagSafe
It's Bexin, always defending Apple
"Why are you complaining about optional features"
Even if optional features suck
yeh but once Apple make that port-less iPhone
EVERYONE WILL FOLLOW
bye bye wired charging forever
Well I kinda want that to happen
Wireless charging only will happen within 3 years from now
I'm literally sure of it
Apple 14 or 15 will tout "innovation" and "no holes" in your phone
Fully waterproof
id like to have a wireless charger in my car to trickle charge my phone while using it to play music
I hate you
I hate these companies
They scream innovation then go backwards to ruin technology
Fuck wireless
GIVE ME MY HEADPHONE JACK BACK
^^
WIRELESS SOUND SUCKS
headphone jack isn't that big of a deal since integrated dacs suck
Ugh
I still have one tho so suck it
I'll just buy either budget phones or Sony high end from now on
My Poco has one
But I hate the trend of not including headphone jacks
fuck bt earbuds
dongle
shame u cant charge while using dongle tho
see
dongles have good sound quality
problem
I always used to just pop my over ear headphones into my 3.5mm jack and go on a walk
Now I have to have this massive brick of a dongle to daisy chain it to do the same
Want to listen while charging? Buy another dongle
This is cancer
u could also buy a DAP but who does that
huh?
Cause there literally is no point of buying an iPod anymore since your phone does the same
yeah :/
wireless audio is evil
yes
I have pretty high end wireless earbuds
And man I hate them
No sound stage
No clarity
It's the market's problem
No it isnt
WHY WONT IT LET ME USE MOBILE DATA TO DOWNLOAD THE LANGUAGE PACK FOR CALL SCREENING?? DAMN IT GOOGLE
You just are comparing different devices
I'll just get another closed back set of cans and use that instead
I cant use call screening cause I cant download it .-. it lets me do anything else over data if I wanna but not this??!!
you can only download it via wireless earbuds
Adapters are your friend
Better sound quality and power than any phones built in dacamp
I also heard of this new Apple DLC where you can only call people if you also buy Apple Watch with your iPhone
tbh I don't mind the galaxy buds pro they are okay enough to go grocery shopping with
Otherwise you can't call
also water resistance is nice if u go skiing and the like
sounds like what Apple would do, tbh .-.
I mind wireless audio just cause the sound sucks
^
Like going from my hi-fi station to using these tiny in-ears is just sad
sometimes it's good enough just to have subpar sound
that reminds me I need to actually finish modding up the IPOD I have.
Going from my 24 euro wired earphones to my 80 euro wireless ones sucks
I'll be sniping a pair of NDH20s tomorrow probably
Good luck fitting and powering your hifi fully within your ears
100$
Get an adapter fam
its all in what suits your needs
Honestly I can't decide between NDH-20 for 100$ second hand or Shure SRH840 new
The ndh20 are absolutely worth 400
How on earth are you gonna get them working for 100??
Apple, unlike most companies, are pretty good at keeping your data private
đ you sure about that?
Very private
To the point they give you in to police if you do something naughty
There goes your privacy, terrorist
Actually yes 
Actually no.... Have you seen the data collection macOS does??????
I don't think it's about the data they collect and more about who they provide it too
which
who knows
You literally can't claim Apple has good data privacy if THEY LITERALLY LOOK AT WHAT YOU DO
Apple is big enough to use all of that data themselves. They don't need to sell it.
Google do the same
Name a non Chinese cell brand that does that
Heck no - They sell everything
Google at least tells you exactly what they do (which yes is sell everything)
They do not sell your data they sell tokens to target people
And android has no provision in it for keeping your phone awake when you tell it to shut down specifically to track you and prevent the phone from being stored for extended periods of time without killing the battery
Huh?
but anonymized data means its totally fine!
I simply cannot believe apple managed to spin it as a positive
Lol
I mean google pesters me about embalming location as well. So ...eh.
Might as well use an NSA requirement yourself and lie to customers about it being off
Samsung used to do it
"Optional"
On by default, not explained, has already caused a few bricked phones
And
How do you know it's optional?
surely apple would never use a hidden feature without a user knowing, they would never do that
Just because apple disabled showing you the data doesn't mean they don't have it lmao
by definition, it's optional if there is user choice, regardless of the default setting of on/off.
Yes but prove the user choice does anything...
prove it doesn't
Imo placebo buttons are worse than choice
it's not a choice if it doesn't do anything.
I'm only refering to actual choices.
If you're going to claim to it doesn't do anything, feel free to show it.
It's unprovable considering it's neither open source or 3rd party audited
Also asking to prove the negative is a fallacy
No it's provable, just not without certain things.
How
also no you are shifting the burden of proof here. you are the one suggesting it's a button that doesn't do anything.
i'm not saying ti does or doesn't.
How can you prove apple can't turn it on without your knowledge
there's code involved and code can be examined. just because you don't have the proper equipment/software to do it doesn't mean it doesn't exist nor doesn't mean it can't be looked at in the future.
Apple scanned user files without informing the user for years
yes, yes they do.
If it's not open source, it's not provable
that's not what that means.
As long as it's not auditable it's not auditable
Open Source means we don't have easy access to it.
but it's still code, its still software.
That's the opposite of what that means
it can be looked at.
No it's not
yes it is. it's fuckign software.
you can look at it yes, you cant decompile it and see what it does in a reasonable short time
and if you cant read assemly like neo that doesnt do shit
Except that's not it either quin
I'm saying it's possible.
It's not written in assembly
It doesn't run that
It's fully encrypted
You can't decompile it
machinecode then, fair enough
Not either
yeah and how do you think apple adds code?
through their own tolls and software đ
which is what I mentioned
Via the virtual machine
No
yes
That's specifically not how that works
yes it is.
It's designed to be undecompileable
If you literally had the devloper kit fo the fucking operating system and it's source code : you will know what the fuck is in the operating system.
dude I don't know what drugs youa re on.
No you won't actually
are we still on about a person being able to check it or are we talking about apple themselves knowing what they add
because I think this is going off rails
Apple is not some super high genuine technomancer software engineers either like you are painting them
You obviously don't understand how these are distributed
Dude just can't back up his claim some button is a fake button but wants me to prove it's a real button that does something so now we are on about this or sumthin đ
no I dont think thats what he's saying
It kinda was though
it was indeed.
And he shifted with WhatAboutIsm going about how apple scammed people before.
I didn't make a claim about any button.
I simple said, by definition, it's a user's choice regardless of it's default position. But that requires it to actually be a choice, as in, a non-fake button.
If it was fake then it's not a choice.
And the point is that is conjecture
The setting is there, and has already turned itself on before
What makes you think that wouldn't happen again but obfuscated
automatic changing of it is different. I thought it was talking of a default position.
And even if you have the device and the code you can't prove it's the code running on the device without breaking I think it's rsa?
so again : is it default position, automatic changing, or fake button?
No way to know
There is a way to know.
Nope
Yes.
You don't understand at all
The phone software is encrypted
its about apple having the potential option to do something without the user doing it and you cant really know that unless you sit at apple when its made
Compile the code twice and you will get different binary blobs
and you have this belief that apple can't make changes updates or look at the code. the people that made it. the people that decrypt it. the people that made the developers tools.
It isn't possible to prove what code is running on a phone
No
It's encrypted, and will not produce the same blob if you compile it twice
this is what I meant, apple being able to know what code they add isn't really the same as being able to check yourself if it does something or not
Even if you have the code and the phone, the only way to prove what code it's running is to reflash the phone yourself
see now it's just pure denialism or concpiracy theory here. That if you had the same tools and information and decryption keys..... Denialism.
That's not how that works đ¤ˇ
My point being is if you had the same tools and knowledge as the developers.
Cool conversation
you would know whats in there.
no you wouldn't
đ
Encryption is intentionally directional...
^
I actually work at apple
encryption is not always bidirectional
and you can decrypt it....
how
or, well yeah
[citation needed]
đą wow I'm so shocked
Ok
Prove that's what's on the phone now
I don't have Apple's tools đ
then how would you prove it if you had apples tools
You would use a floater device for dev testing
Does apple have a tool for extracting nand data from a phone and decompiling it?
it makes zero sense and no way it would work to auto-encrypt a operating system WHILE PROGRAMMING IT
whiel DEVELOPING IT
Not a tool, devices specially made for dev testing
Now is there a chain of trust that doesn't rely on network data from those dev devices to the client devices?
When making any software, especially ones you intend to encrypt... you're going t complete it first before encrypting it. Most of the secure ones don't do take-backs.
Could I read off a checksum somewhere that proves my device is running the exact same software?
The is a hardware difference between developer devices and consumer phones if thatâs what youâre asking
If you have the master source you have the ultimate source. You would know if a button was fake or not.
Yep
So if the NSA had access to those same tools they could do the exact same thing
The NSA is known for intercepting data, what would prevent them from mitming the software update for your phone and pushing an update that changes the actions of that button?
You are required to also be in a trusted network as well
the point is about having a way to proof the source you are looking at is the one that is on the phone
But I still donât get the argument
... your point being?
Carmobean thinks apple can find your turned of phone phone even after you turn of phone findeable after itâs turned off
it is
phones, even iphones, can have update-malware injected into them and such. this is possible.
thats what Find My does
Not that I know of?
Once find my is off and any third part apps with location tracking is disabled you canât track an iPhone
The NSA is known for having placed blacboxes at many strategic places on the internet and reading and overwriting lots of data
How would you prove a device hasn't been compromised to change it's behavior even assuming there isn't an exploit (which there are many)
you donât
Such an abstract question though
but itâs borderline schizo shit
ah, that's different.
You can you prove they are? Your question makes no sense. I for one as a regular person there cannot track you nor gather any information that is not already readily accessible
It's a very specific question
If I download some open source software I can run sha on it and look at the value
If the value of my friends software or the value the original software has is different, I can be suspicious
you'd have t run some heavy duty comparison software. But knowing when a device is security compromised is super tricky.
Open source software on your iPhone?
It's called sha
I have it in the right click menu on my pc
sha?
hashing
That's the problem
The only open source software on the iPhone are websites
Well
Pwas
Going on a website is not running software on your device?
trust me replacing files you download is the worst way to infect your shit
Yea correction pwas
You still arenât running open sourced software on your device
exploits developed by government agencies are zero click
ah, right SHA or MD5 and such. I'm never remember all the terms >.>
Yea I'm aware that pegasus is alooooooooot easier
But being unable to audit is still a problem
good luck trying to find what exactly is wrong with your device
Plug it in and restore your phone
I can in fact run software that has visible source
And a pwa does get locally downloaded so it can be used offline
Restore from what?
restore firmware
Are you talking about installing profiles?
To iTunes
Plug ur phone in download iTunes and restore your phone
All you can restore from is files downloaded on the internet that are encrypted
đ
You donât download a restore
restore file attack
Yourself
You can restore offline using a file if you want
But that file has to be downloaded from apple
If you restore online you are back to square 1
Square 1 of what?
do you seriously think they would go through such trouble lol
Root of trust issues
honestly I wish i could fix my ipad. it refuses to update and I don't think itunes wants to communicate with it >.<
that youâre being tracked?
possible in theory doesnât mean itâs a practical attack
eh, I don't care fi the NSA tracks me. like. it doesn't mean or do anything.
Iâm sure if someone who is sophisticated enough to breach iOS
doesn't restrict my freedom
The phone is the least of your concerns
I restore apple devices from offline files multiple times a week
It's for work, we don't want to slaughter our internet by downloading a new copy of iOS for every device that we need to prepare for the users
If you think thatâll be the main outlet đ
not sure how thatâs relatedâŚ
Sure
But the iPhone can't just be off to prove it's not being tracked
Remove the battery then
You actually need to unplug the battery...
Which oh hey nice requires tons of tools
you can be afraid of tracking all you want
just remember there are much easier ways to track you
Sure
that wonât involve having apple sign your custom firmware and allow for MITM attacks lol
the bad choice was getting an iphone if you wanted t do any of that.
I can basically guarantee no one is tracking you though a back door in iOS
But to is their own
youâre extremely close to schizoposting
But I've gotta understand the threat vectors for my job
We use iOS fully updated with tracking enabled
But the threats need to all be quantified
Iâd be more concerned if the back door mental issues going on in the head
We provide devices to government agencies far more important than what you don
And itâs never been an issue
itâs great that youâre passionate about it
just please have the practicality of the attacks in mind
Yes
That's why we are using iPhones at the agency
But you have to be aware of all the vectors
We donât make special software for governments who use iPhones for their jobs. Everyone is on an equal plane
If governments arenât getting attacked
You wonât
That's not entirely true
Not through iOS
Iâm positive itâs true
There is no specialized iOS build for companies or governments
iOS allows for mdm
We use a ton of features of mdm that integrate with our stack
BTW you sound like you know a thing or two about apple device trouble shooting, mind I poke your brain of solving an issue?
We just wipe it if it's acting up lol
I really don't actually know much about troubleshooting them
Unless it's related to the wipe process
Whatâs up with it
Third party applications still
It's an Ipad Pro thats still in IOS 14, but it refuses to update to newer versions.
Whatâs the error when you update or try?
Which can be installed via a qr code and 30 minutes unless it's already enrolled in a different mdm
I can't remember the exact error message, it was very generic. internet works on it.
it's not impossible some years ago I did somethign stupid to manually block updates?
I think I had a mindset to force it to not update but I can't remember
I would go to storage, see if the update is installed. If it is just remove it and retry.
Or put it into DFU(volume up, volume down⌠hold power) and plug it in to iTunes and update through there
you can disable OTAs while jailbroken yes
also that key combination is different if you have a home button no?
Yeah
also thatâs a normal reboot combination
It would be power + home button
If you hold it while itâs plugged in. Itâll go into dfu
Instead of rebooting
You can put your iOSÂ device in recovery mode, then restore it using your computer.
8 and new SEs don't use the home button
So Volume buttons and power button?
physical home button i mean
ah shit maybe I was dumb and did this đ
there's no home button. again : iPad Pro.
then reenable from the jailbreak app if you can
damn
Donât restore
Just update
When you plug it in
If you click restore itâll wipe it. If you just click update youâll be fine
okay so DFU mode, then plug it in and Update option, not recover option
there a special type of cable? Cause I have a history of Itunes simple not registering anything was plugged in.
okay so plug in and THEN DFU mode
okay. though I still need to get itunes to actually recognize that the ipad is plugged in.
If it's a Mac it'll even automatically open itunes for you
Oh actually issue I ran into on Friday, our 2012 Mac mini refused to update a 2022 se
Our M1 mini running the same version of configurator worked fine...
Just rather confused?
Error code?
only mac I own Iis 20 years old.
When you plug it in while itâs in dfu
And you press update
There will be an error code given from finder if it doesnât successfully go through
also, you canât go into dfu with a usb-c to usb-c cable
you need usb-a
ask me how i know
no
iPad pros are only usb c
Wasn't pressing update, was pressing restore (we always wipe whenever it comes through)
It's probably bugging the h2d direction
i donât have my macbook anymore to show you
I do it almost everyday
@crisp magnet ITunes available on linux?
TIL a bsod could technically be a result of a cosmic ray
Did you launch into space recently 
(I am still pissed that this track was removed from Spotify)
Any either
https://open.spotify.com/album/4YbaOg0Y9jpMMnevqJ95bB?si=O4Ho6zYsTg-wW3_oOl7nRw
Hardly counts cause it's like 90% not the track at all.
