I feel like people lately go a bit overboard when it's about protecting their "data".
As far as I see all it does is just send one single number that shows that there is someone using this specific operation system and it does not include any personal or unique to the user information.
In my opinion this does not even qualify as "my data"
"Chromium-based browsers like Vanadium provide the strongest sandbox implementation, leagues ahead of the alternatives. "
and
"Chromium has decent exploit mitigations, unlike the available alternatives. "
Since I myself lack the knowledge and skills to judge this, I have to trust the word of the developers.
Edit, correction. They do mention Firefox
"Avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox as they're currently much more vulnerable to exploitation and inherently add a huge amount of attack surface."
"Google began rolling out this feature as “Powered Off Finding” with the Pixel 8 series, letting users locate their phone even when it’s switched off by keeping the Bluetooth chip active."
And those are only some of the official known possibilities
There is no such thing as "off" on modern Smartphones. Even if you power it down things like the baseband prozessor and bluetooth still stay active most of the time.
If the battery is integrated into device there ist no real way to completely shut this things down.
I got 150 hours out of this game and I think that is very much all i will ever play.
For a good while it was even quite interesting because there were still a lot of new things to discover.
But then you started to do things just to get them done not because they were particularly fun or interesting.
If they don't implement some fundamental new way to play this game or combine existing mechanics better together I don't think anything could pull me back.
And i hope procedural generation starts to die very soon. Throwing the same basic ingredience into a mixer does not give you something new but more of the same. It's boring.
That is is even still recognizable blows my mind. I mean this looks like it is in the open, on a sloping rock face, exposed to the weather for 12,000 years in the rainforest.
Bothers me that this fights were made so easy. I think patch 1.5 changed that. Before that this was a really hardcore fight that took freaking 5-10 minutes of dancing and dodging. its was brutal. now you can just punch them out with a couple of hits.
3 devices. They support 3 devices under the "main" branch. And those are not even real devices but emulated on PC.
Every single smartphone they support falls under the "community" branch. that means it was made available by volunteers in their free time. some will never see further updates after getting them to work once.
And the list looks like this:
Release Year
Name
Missing / Broken or not tested Features
2021
Fairphone 4
Battery Status / charging, Wifi, Audio, Camera, GPS, NFC
It does run on many phones, but e.g. support for Camera is very very rare because that is one thing you most of the time only get a binary blob for as driver and not the source code. and it is a god damn nightmare to get those things working.
This would mean that all the necessary drivers for the entire hardware would have to be recreated by reverse engineering. that would take years until you have an even halfway working device.
In the end, you have to poke around randomly in the hardware until at some point a light goes on somewhere. and so on. takes freaking forever. some devices don't have working support after a decade and more of work.
