  • Microsoft's Secure Boot UEFI bootloader signing key expires in September, posing problems for Linux users

    跳过

  • Sorry for delay.

    Install sbsigntool

    Create Certificate:

     
        
openssl x509 -outform der -in cacert.pem -out certificate.crt

    The resulting certificate.crt is what will be used to verify the signature of the EFI binary. You will import this into the motherboards firmware database.

    Sign EFI Binary:

     
        
sbsign --key cakey.pem --cert cacert.pem bootx64.efi --output BOOTX64.efi

    After you sign the boot file, reboot into the firmware and import the certificate. Reboot normally and secure boot should work without issue.

  • If you are near a uBreakiFix (official repair partner for Google) stop by a store. The original device warranty does not matter. As long as your device is not severely damaged and the IMEI is flagged as eligible, the battery is covered under the extended warranty replacement. If the screen was damaged because the battery swelled, that's covered too.

    Source: I work for ubreakifix. I have dealt with this all week.

  • Secure boot will fail validation. You can still boot it anyway by disabling secure boot. You just lose a layer of security. You can manually sign boot files yourself and add the relevant certificate to the motherboard firmware database. Assuming it lets you.

  • The industry average is roughly 20% in the first year. And then 5% to 15% every year after. Heavily depends on the brand, model and market conditions. Cult cars like the Tacoma, Wrangler, WRX, and MX5, hold their value well. Whereas high selling, popular cars like the 2013 - 2017 Ford Escape tanked hard. I remember reading an article about that one and it was only worth a couple grand after 5 years.

  • By not having "None of the above" or an "Other" allowing you to fill in the blank, instantly discards this data as viable. which makes this question pointless to even answer, let alone ask.

    • A misconfigured server can download a file instead of executing it. A common result of failing PHP is to download the page. If you open it with a text editor, you'll see the PHP code that was supposed to be rendered. It's a decentralized community. Perhaps the server you're browsing is having an issue. This very likely to be the real reason.

  • How is it deceptive? No plex pass on the server? No remote streaming.

  • Why can't we go back to small phones?

  • There's virtually no improvement. We see a 6th gen at least once a week. That's no different than the 5th gen. I will admit the 4th gen is the least reliable of the last three generations mentioned here.

    Every single generation of flip or fold, someone has came in after release day with a dead screen. The issue has always been a result of the hinge damaging the screen. The opening action alone is enough to damage cables or the panel itself.

    Because screen replacement involves replacing the entire frame (we transplant the board only), we have to have the correct color frame in stock. If we don't, it's just a matter of whether or not we can order the correct color. And if we can't you're sending it to Samsung. They do not allow us to order the special/exclusive colors.

    As a note here: flip and fold models have a battery on each side. If you're unfortunate and have a battery expand on the side that has an outer screen and it cracks, you're replacing the frame and outer screen. The batteries come with the frame. Samsung does not allow individual replacement due to how the batteries are paired.

  • I work for a company that repairs these. The Flip and Fold phones have been riddled with issues since day one.

    They're literally plastic screens. Over time the crease on the screen where the hinge is will get so deep that Samsung's required "screen protector" will no longer adhere. If you close the phone and the hinge decides to break, you can never open it a full 180 again. If you accidentally open it all the way too fast, you will literally rip the screen off the frame. The weak point is hinge which could lead to a thick black line across, or upper or lower portions malfunctioning. One day you may open the phone and it's unresponsive to touch. Screens randomly fail all the time and either display static or nothing at all.

    Samsung knows the failure rates and how they're problematic. Any physical damage on the phone will void your warranty. If it's the tiniest scratch, warranty void. Not kidding. I see Samsung deny them left and right. If you remove the pre-applied screen protector and replace it with your own, warranty void. They literally record how many times they've been dropped. If the count exceeds an acceptable value, warranty void.

    In terms of outright failure across all phone brands and models, the flips and folds are #1. Behind that is the A series. But those are cheap so it's expected.

    Please purchase insurance for it if you can. It will save you at minimum $400 on a screen repair.

  • Even if you do get a copy with ads, it's trivial to remove it yourself. You can use Handbrake and specify chapter times. Chapter start at open credits. Chapter end just before the ad roll. Chapter start after ad roll. Chapter end at the end of the video.

  • If you have any intent to play with Android OS variants or the stock OS, don't buy Verizon devices. Ever. They will not give you the decryption key or unlock key.

    Apple, Google, Samsung and Motorola all sell devices on their websites as full price or up to 36 month financing. You can get them carrier unlocked. Motorola and Google offer bootloader unlocking should you want to.

  • It's an industry security standard. Not a defect. If you don't agree with it, fork the software and modify it to suit your needs.

  • Some self hosted services refuse to work if you use a self signed certificate with your public facing IP. They only allow self signed certificates when using one of the handful of private addresses.

    Some apps on mobile devices for the service you use won't work unless a trusted certificate is used. A self signed certificate behind the scenes creates an error that isn't handled and you can't connect.

    You lose the ability to have a proxy in front to handle abuse so your server is spared the headache. You need a domain to do this.

  • TLS.

    While technically you can use TLS with a self signed certificate, it creates additional problems with a public facing service. Only recommended for internal services.
