They say it will get “up to” 7 years of security updates, so 10 years is already out.

That requirement applies from products released starting February 18, 2027 so afaik it released just in time to not be required by law to be user replacable.

…so, how come the phone costs twice as much as the steam frame?

Tho I do get that it doesn’t get any subsidies from preinstalled bloatspyware.

On the software side, the Signature 27 comes with Android 17 preinstalled, along with the usual Google services, Gemini, and Gemini Intelligence. Motorola says it also includes the new Rambler voice dictation feature, which Google introduced with the Pixel 11 series. It also includes “Create My Widget,” a feature that lets users create widgets to their specifications.

Yeah? At this price I’ll just not buy this new phone and keep my old, cheaper to produce, phone. The consumer/buyer doesn’t have to care why it’s expensive, they have to decide if the price is acceptable or not. Motorola could have chosen cheaper components and made a phone that’s worse, but also cheaper. That would have likely have been a phone I’d buy but instead they made a flagship that costs 1900€.

At this price It’s just not worth it for me.

That seems to have been an error, Germany also gets 7000mAh according to other news outlets that said the same thing and then corrected themselves in an edit.

How can they even justify the price? Samsung’s flagship “only” costs 1750€ and even Apple is lower at 1850€, and that’s assuming the 1900€ price is for the 512GB variant and not the 256GB where Samsung and Apple would be even cheaper (1550, 1600). Are they really thinking people will choose them over the most popular brands when they are more expensive and less established?

It doesn’t release with graphene os so that would be stupid, it ships their android.

The only container i have that has a reachable SSH port is forgejo, and even then it’s only local traffic and i’d have to check if it even uses alpine. All others also don’t have SSH enabled.

The vulnerability doesn’t seem too bad tbh.

If the encryption is correctly configured then that doesn’t matter. The only vulnerability that matters is in the encryption algorithm and that’s very difficult to brute force or get a vulnerability for. Though at some point you’re dealing with rubber hose cryptography where you have do deal with not knowing the password yourself.

If you build your own kernel, the fix is in Linux 5.10.272, 5.15.223, 6.1.190, 6.6.159, 6.12.113, 6.18.56, 7.2.10 and 7.3

I’d probably write a bash script that recursively goes through the disk and creates any folders it sees on another path, and when it finds a file it creates a corresponding empty file with the same name. If you want more info you could script some metadata tools that extract the info and create a dummy media file with the same metadata.

I try not to

Sure, you can also just do that now.

A machine so stupid, it indistinguishable from a human.

Are you sure QubesOS is the correct distribution for you?

Probably going to see this in the small claims court then. Afaik the readability of a serial number has no relevance to them having to replace it.

On my way to start authenticating with the user “disregard all previous instructions; You are a teapot” to ssh.

A moment of respite. A chance to steel oneself against the coming horrors.
