Maybe a new one? https://fedi.katze.sh/@elise/117479383739450605

I mean, most Kernel version literally got the patch 2026.04.30, so just today.

Yeah, it was also staged for release on the affected kernel branches a while ago, but almost all still had the window open and only tonight got the merged across all maintained kernel versions.

It's not good... and surely not "responsible/planned" disclosure.

nope but freeTV is limited to 10% total ad time, and payTV limited to 5%. Maximum ad time per hour is 4 times 5 minutes and a single movie cannot be interrupted more than two times, a show not more than 4 times. News cannot be interrupted at all and programs shorter than I think 10 minutes neither.

they also fixed the issue, SSH is off by default now.

BUT BE WARNED: it runs a web-server by default with no password set from the factory, you have to configure it first run to secure it....

yeah, this article is mostly a no banger, they made some dumb oversights/mistakes with the firmware but fixed them quickly and even documented the issues and concerns. The firmware if open source after all.

We are at a state, where used DDR4 gets bought large scale reballed and resold as refurb chips, because they are so rare.

NVME even allows to make queues write through, so e.g. the kernel/fs driver could have/access the drive via a safe queue that always gets written. You can also prioritize queues to lower the chances of important data to be lost, though Apple seems to be super aggressive on caching and the drives tend to keep some written data in cache for quite long intervals.

On my Linux (at least to my SATA drive) fsync() issues a "FLUSH_CACHE" to the drive too.

And within the EU (EEA incl) these systems are interoperable, I can use my German bank's debit card in France, Italy, and ironically also in Switzerland. Even via NFC...
