and just like that, Ukraine expertise in drone warfare. has and will have made them a player in drone warfare. drones, are a major part of war now and that will only grow. using multi million dollar missles against a drone swarm is not effective.

Now we know why they pushed anthropic so hard and are going to punish them for not knelling.

if you rename a host and you have already installed vivaldi it breaks to fix
killall vivaldi-bin vivaldi
then
rm ~/.config/vivaldi/SingletonLock
rm ~/.config/vivaldi/SingletonSocket
rm ~/.config/vivaldi/SingletonCookie

Overall i like mageia, its kde is feels really polished and stable. and in my HyperV VM very stable so far and very usable as a work VM dev VM.

-in hyperV mgr in integration make sure all the boxes are checked incl guest (right now focusing on getting everything to work) (less on which ones should or should not be checked)
you need to make some changes so the HyperV drivers are used properly

mageia v9x64 working well inside Windows 11 HyperV
-use the classic install, and disable secureboot in hyperV manager
-I used KDE/Plasma it works well no idea on gnome or Xfce

ensure
auto blocker is set to MAX and is ON
block USB is also ON
bitdefender is installed and working
use a broswer that bit defender supports.
private dns, such as quad9 or adgaurds public ones.
use adblocker in your browser, and if firefox (OBO and jshelter)

if bit is 0x1 phone is toast, the software can never be trusted and high trust software will never work, things like google or samsung pay wont run.

if knox bit is 0x0 then it was not tripped the attack was not able to follow to root. factory the phone, and redownload the firmware via samsung odin and flash the phone with trusted offline copy.

put phone in airplane mode the second you see this alert
as odds are very strong your either compromised or there was a very legit attempt.

keep phone on, so you can boot to download mode and veryify the knox warrrenty bit. if its tripped you where rooted. if its not it was an attempt FULL factory

knox has a hardware bit, if a root or some sort of persistance is tried those can trip the knox hardware bit. which knox, and your security tooling should report the second it happens.

your "protect" is pretty good, and your "detect" is also very good. if your attacked there are multiple things that should alert you.
- knox should alert
-security tooling
-android itself / google safe browswing etc

for a samsung phone, (S line) assuming a pretty decent setup and private DNS and endpoint security such as bitdefender. also assuming all the security features all turned on.....

good points in the article, worth a read. also, adblockers, and adgaurds public dns are your friend......

its less education, but that is part of it. its a cult mentality
the more they keep them 'within' the easier it is to make them vote against there own interests.

thats bad OPSEC, reporters should be using disappearing messages. and tools like veracrypt to enclose all notes and documentation. and bleachbit to clear disk level cache.

I think firefox direction is a good compromise. you dont want to get left behind by not investing in the infra and tooling required. but, not everyone wants "in" have a simple control panel that controls all AI features is a very good direction i think.

maybe a splash screen on install
