That’s like saying an unlocked Pixel phone is a PC because you could technically develop an OS for it. Unlocked bootloader doesn’t an open system make.
I think we’re using different terms for hacking. You are using the exploit definition.
You have to hack another OS to load it on a MacBook. Try running Linux on an M3, M4, or M5 today. Not yet possible.
Edit: Even the M1 and M2 Linux support was entirely reverse engineered. The hardware is not open, it’s not a personal computer.
The pedantic argument was about personal computer, not just computer. I believe it was along the lines of push a few buttons, not hack the OS. Sorry I made you mad talking about MacBooks.
Actually the current M-series are struggling to be feature complete on Linux, so while what you say was true for the Intel Macs, that is wilting away.
Totally agree there. MacBooks don’t even really qualify there and even probably near future when newer Windows devices come locked down.
So user friendly Linux running on it makes it not a console? For a while PS3 was just a couple button presses to get a full Linux distro booted on it. I don’t think anyone would argue PS3 wasn’t a console.
If you do this, make sure to have a backup email on a different provider for all of your domain and DNS services in case something goes wrong you can still fix it. I’ve heard horror stories…
I can still find 480p videos from when YouTube first started that rival the quality of the compressed crap “1080p” we get from YouTube today. It’s outrageous.
I’m out of the loop, what’s that about Audacity? Looks like they still have a github repo with very recent activity and Wikipedia says their trademark was acquired by a company in 2021.

Honestly, I would back up all of your downloads, documents, pictures, videos, browser history/passwords/bookmarks, and anything else you want to save to an external drive or to The Cloud (or multiple, e.g., most/all browsers have a sync function, and OneDrive/Google Drive/Dropbox, etc.), and then download and test drive multiple different distros until you find one that you like and has good community support. Nearly all distros today will let you test it out without installing (kind of a try before you buy). Once you find one, install it while wiping the Windows install, then load your graphics drivers and Steam. Steam will handle the rest as far as running your games (some caveats apply, i.e., some multiplayer games will not work because the developers are assholes).
I always called that a soft brick when it could still power on, but couldn’t load the main operating system, but it could receive a reinstall of the system.
Hard brick was the one where it was permanently disabled either from not able to power on or was incapable of reloading the main OS without essentially “brain surgery” of the device.
I guess brick could extend to broken components until a reboot (such as a broke WiFi driver or such). What type of “brick” would it be? How about glitch brick?
How difficult is it for an adversary to get in the middle of the TPM releasing the keys to LUKS? That’s why I would want attestation of some sort, but that makes it more complicated and thinking about how that would work in practice makes my head spin…
Is clevis using an attestation server or is it all on a single machine? I’m interested in getting this set up but the noted lack of batteries included for this in the common distros makes it a somewhat tall order.
please share the script?
Gotta start somewhere, and it won’t ever improve if we don’t start improving it. So many on Lemmy assume the tech will never be good enough so why even bother, but that’s why we do things, to make the world that much better… eventually. Why else would we plant literal trees? For those that come after us.
Are there any studies done (or benchmarks) that show accuracy on recommendations for treatments given a medical history and condition requiring treatment?
Bridging the gap is something sorely needed and LLMs are damn close to achieving.
This is something that directly impacts Lemmy and all Fediverse. Section 230 makes the hosting provider not liable for things their users post as long as they remove offending material (I don’t know the specifics, IANAL). Eroding section 230 is like pulling the ladder up behind the behemoth providers like YouTube. New small time services will essentially be illegal.
Hacking at the kernel to make it work on a new device is a valid definition of hacking IMO.
Hacking [something together] - building something quickly to make it work not necessarily a robust inplementation.
