I haven’t watch the video (because YouTube) but knowing how easy it is to unlock modern cars with the right tools, namely https://www.404media.co/inside-the-underground-trade-of-flipper-zero-tech-to-break-into-cars/ and knowing ICE does both have a budget and a “license” not to care for the lawful process I can definitely imagine them doing it.
TL;DR: definitely feasible, no idea if actually done.
Reposting from my comment https://lemmy.world/post/37758804/20109240 which I recommend to check, as someone did a test with Dark Souls 1 and IMHO was unsurprisingly disappointing, namely it does recognize the game (honestly, not bad) and get the right boss (which name is literally on screen) and make kind of sometimes useful suggestions. But like… what’s the point? Who would play a game and… NOT know its name? Or not be able to search based on a boss name or a weapon name with existing dedicated good online guides?
Anyway… if you still want to try yourself WITHOUT relying on Microsoft consider :
"If someone somehow wants to test this locally I suggest
marvel at how pointless and costly the whole setup is and how a basic query on e.g. DuckDuckGo with “game name” + prompt would yield way WAY better results from actual human, uninstall the whole, keep on playing with your actual brain.
At least now you can say you tried before you complain, rightfully, that it sucks.

PS: I didn’t actually try this, I’m too lazy for that right how but feel free to report back if you do!
Edit : 2 potential optimization (despite not being sure it ever makes sense in the first place!)
Spectacle shortcut) monitored via inotify then notify-send the suggestion, thus stay in game during the whole process" and again feel free to share back results.
I recommend a different consideration than the usual design, battery life, OSHW, etc : connectivity.
So typically you get BT but that’s not enough, you need a bit more since it’s not a well recognized device, unlike e.g. headphones. Typically you would need a companion app, for GrapheneOS, Android more broadly, iOS or a Linux phone. This is where GadgetBridge comes in. The goal of the project is to… bridge gadgets that are not standalone. Instead of having a myriad of (usually proprietary) apps that basically all do the same thing (pair, configure, handle notifications both ways) have 1 that does it for all such device.
From that standpoint, namely GadgetBridge support, at the moment the recommendation is Pebble (which is how the project started) or PineTime.
PS: I personally have a Pebble (with hardware issue, so not sure were), a PineTime (also hardware issue, touch on screen AFAIR) and finally a Watchy and… honestly I don’t wear any anymore. I don’t get enough benefit from it as typically I have a phone nearby and when I don’t it means I do NOT want notifications.
I bet that at least 99.99% of people commuting are in that situation. Daily. Interacting with others in the same state.
if you run into a platform-specific issue
Well that’s of course possible but in theory (which is so different from practice, I get that) if it relies on protocols or specifications rather than vendor specific implementations, e.g. OTP, TOPT, HOTP, U2F, OpenPGP, WebAuthN, etc then it should be fine.
CopyParty https://github.com/9001/copyparty + PartyUp https://f-droid.org/packages/me.ocv.partyup/ (upload only, not sync)
Could try https://f-droid.org/packages/com.phpbg.easysync/ for sync proper.
More WebDAV Android client options https://github.com/fstanis/awesome-webdav#android but anyway my suggestion is to rely on a protocol, not an app.
So far nobody provided a good answer (if I missed it, I apologized, please do share) so I’m going to assume it’s the typical “Nobody ever get fired for buying from IBM” mindset, namely rely on what is the most popular, confirm it works well while ignoring viable alternatives IMHO, e.g NitroKey.
I use Yubikey Bio and NitroKeys.
Edit : to expand a bit, for the YubiKey it’s for the convenience of just pushing my thumb on. I use it on the Web and to su locally. For NitroKeys I’ve discovered them via https://nlnet.nl/project/Nitrokey-3/ and thus appreciate the OSHW side, e.g https://certification.oshwa.org/de000007.html or https://certification.oshwa.org/de000008.html
FWIW https://gitlab.com/pdftk-java/pdftk works well. Sure it hasn’t been updates for a couple of years but maybe it’s not really needed.
Sorry I don’t know enough but here is an interesting articles about other kind of gnomes :P https://www.businessinsider.com/anti-tech-rally-apple-iphone-elon-musk-tesla-luddite-movement-2025-9
With pleasure. I discovered kdialog just recently too as until now I used notify-send but as you are using KDE this gives you a lot more options.
If you are into this kind of things check also dbus or KWin, there are a LOT of fun and powerful ways to interact with KDE.
It also has kdeconnect-cli with e.g. kdeconnect-cli --share myfile.txt so don’t think you are stuck with a GUI to use KDEConnect.
1-liner would be something like watch -n 10 "pgrep konsole || kdialog --msgbox 'konsole no running'"
namely :
watch to repeat a command at interval, e.g. every minute (could also be crontab)pgrep to check if a process is runningkdialog on KDE to send a message to the current user (plenty more ways)Thanks, it’s quite interesting but again IMHO it relies on bad practices. If you’ve been compromised and you “restore” (not in an sandboxed environment dedicated to study the threat) then you are asking for trouble. I’ll read a bit more in depth but the timeline I see 1987, 1998, 2017 show me this is a very very niche strategy, to the point that it’s basically irrelevant. Again it’s good to know of it, conceptually, but in practice proper backups (namely of data) remains in my eyes the best way to mitigate most problems, attacks and just back luck (failing hardware, fire, etc) alike.
That doesn’t make much sense to me, one backup data, not executables or system. Even if they were to be saved in the backup then they wouldn’t get executed back.
Anyway, that’s still conceptually interesting but it’s so very niche I’d be curious to hear where it’s being used, any reference to read on where those exist in the wild?
Funny but that’s the entire point of a digital “life” if you want to use analogies : your backup is you.
Nothing needs an antivirus if you backup your data properly.
PS: I’m getting downvoted for this so I’ll explain a bit more : if you backup properly, you can restore your data. Sure your system is fucked… but who cares? In fact if you care for your OS installation then right away it shows you are NOT in a reliable state. You install another OS and start from there. Maybe it’s not even due to a virus, maybe your hardware burns in fire, same situation so IMHO a working backup (and by working I mean rolling, like TODAY it’s done without your intervention) then you restore. Also please don’t tell me about ransomware because even though it is a real threat, if you do your backups properly (as in not overwritting the old ones with the new ones) then you are still safe. It can be as basic as using rdiff-backup. It’s fundamental to understand the difference between what’s digital and what is not digital.
Still watching it but this shouldn’t be surprising.
The whole point of US politics was to isolate China out of the “AI revolution” by depriving it to top of the line chip.
Meanwhile China has been building the entire World electronic ecosystem bar few very specific high end components, leaving these to TSMC, ASML, etc or design mostly to the US.
Even before tariffs and sale bans (due to dual use concerns) China already had a chip independence plan dating back from at least 2000. Since then close to the entire World move production there, at least assembly, and most deals to do so included, or tried to, include IP transfer and at the very least learning with the partner, if not more but that’d be just speculation, to add industrial espionage on top (even though plenty of news on the topic).
So… sure, it’s happening. Now the question though I asked on such thread countless time is basically : what’s the yield?
Because producing 1 board to send to a tester is already an incredible feat but that doesn’t mean thousands or even millions can be produced. If they can, that also doesn’t mean they can be produced economically efficiently, regardless of subsidies.
PS: most interesting book on the topic IMHO : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_War
You did. Well my point is that nobody needs this kind of equipment in the first place anyway because 99% of “useful” stuff done by an average officeworker isn’t actually LLM it’s usually STT. The rest, e.g. GenAI with videos is for shit&giggles, vibe coding doesn’t work except few super tiny narrow cases (e.g. transforming a file quickly without caring for 100% accuracy and when converters don’t already exist) and last but not least genAI on text itself is mostly used for spam, scan and cheating at school.
So… please don’t felt “left behind” if you can’t self host this kind of tools, it seems to me it’s nearly never justifiable!
My recommendation is to keep both separate. Your work phone should NEVER be your personal phone.
Use you work phone at work or on a mission. Not outside, not at home, it does not matter what your contract says, what the law says is what’s important (so check locally, depends on jurisdictions).
Now IMHO both options such. Apple is closed source and Android provided by work is not customizable so you have no control over. If you want a more radically approach and are serious about privacy, reconsider both.
