Le projet de loi C-22 est inacceptable, tout comme son prédécesseur le projet de loi C-2.

Petal demande $12M pour l’utilisation du système pendant 6 mois? C’est du racket! #PublicMoneyPublicCode

Yet, most people still spend several hours every day in “virtual US” (GAFAM).

Il me semble que de nos jours le désir indépendantiste n’est rien de plus qu’une opposition au gouvernement canadien actuel exacerbé par une rancoeur tirée d’iniquités passées. C’est malheureusement compatible autant avec le fascisme que l’antifascisme.

Ce qui est ahurissant c’est le fait de limiter ces protections aux polici-ers/ères

I love Thinkpads, but 1280x800 on a 14" is just sad

Just to be clear, I really meant to disassemble the fan until you hold in your hand the plastic thing that rotates (at which point you can really clean it, and take the opportunity to add a drop of lubricant on the axle).

The worst part of that era was the thick bezels wasting precious screen real estate. Older models (like the X61/T61) had much thinner bezels and it took some years for the bezels to get thinner again

I’m not familiar with this specific machine, but I’ve dealt with similar fan problems in 3 other machines (twice successfully (both Thinkpads) and once not (not a Thinkpad)) and I’d recommend you open up your machine and clean it, including opening up the fan itself, which is often not as hard as it sounds and saves you the trouble of having to find a replacement.

Well, there goes one of my predictions 😒 I was convinced such a “Tramp, but using an ad-hoc server one the remote side” would use a server written in Perl (in my original prediction, 20 years ago), then revised to Python. I think I would have counted partial points for one based on Scheme or Tcl, but I definitely did not foresee Rust coming.

J’ai de la peine à imaginer une situation où quelqu’un a vraiment besoin de manger de la viande plus qu’une fois par jour, donc ça devrait être au moins 2 repas sur 3 plutôt que 1 sur 4.

Mais bon, c’est quand même ça de pris.

If you find a solution, please let us know. I’m suffering from the same problem with my 2017 X1 Carbon

I don’t think it’s a question of willingness to understand, but one of disagreement about the seriousness of the problem. Not to mention the implict idea that a “verified boot” is the only way to get that result. E.g. it’s very easy to get to a “safe factory state” without that kind of locking, for example with an immutable boot loader, as is typically present in many ARM SoCs (Allwinner, Rockchip, …). In that case you can revert to a safe state by downloading a known good OS image (using a trusted machine) and installing that image using only the immutable bootloader.

So AFAICT, in practice a locked bootloader makes no difference to the most common attacks I’ve seen on my devices and that of friends&family. Seems like a far cry from your original claim that “This means that the most essential feature for your safety, the metaphorical lock on the front door of your house, is left broken and loose.”

But my point is that a remote attacker using privilege escalation can already do all of that even with a locked bootloader. “rootkits” don’t need an unlocked bootloader.

Sorry, but that page does not seem to say what you wrote. E.g. I can’t see how a remote attacker (such as a malign webpage, email, application, …) could take advantage of an unlocked bootloader without being able to see (and modify) all the data on your phone. IOW I think what you write applies only to an attacker who has physically taken your phone (temporarily).

Your links are all broken (because of “…” elision)

Can someone point me at technical info about the risks of having an unlocked bootloader? From where I stand, the risks seem completely irrelevant (to take advantage of an unlocked bootloader, the attacker would need to have full access to your OS already). AFAIK, locking of bootloaders was never designed to protect the user, but only to let cell-phone providers restrict what phone users can do.
