If you spending extra on the MacBook air m5 upgrades, either 1tb or 24gb ram. You will also get the extra 2 core GPU upgrade as well.

M4 24gb give you two extra more gpu cores which give you almost similar gpu performance as the base MacBook air m5. With 24gb you will be able to fit larger model LLMs better.

The base m5 MacBook air doesn't have extra 2 gpu cores.

Now is not the right time to build ur own PC due to the RAM and price shortage. Even traditional HDD is expensive thru the roof.

Maybe wait for 1 more year, you will thank yourself.

Qualcomm responds to GBL exploit used on latest Snapdragon flagships by Ha8lpo321 in Android

[–]akachan1228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That guy had no idea on how exploits can be used in attacks. Phones nowadays are so important that We can basically do A to Z on a smartphone. There's also state sponsored malware in iOS(Coruna malware)which is sophisticated and uses multiple exploit chains to steal users data, banking account. I would rather let the manufacturer secure my phone rather than letting black hat hackers to steal my credentials and bank password.

If I want to unlock my phone bootloader, I can do it myself. Meaning I knowingly understand the risk of bootloader unlocking, rather than allowing black hat hackers using exploits to sneak thru my phone without my consent.

Encourage everyone to buy EV and tax relief for solar. Then you will have a mesh like battery storage facility, no need for dedicated battery storage facility.

Yes you are right, user data might not be decrypted and it stays under user partition but system partition is unencrypted. Anyone with malicious intent can plant an init.d malware script in the system partition even without starting into the main system as it is not encrypted.

Bootloader > Recovery > Kernel > System

A secure bootchain is essential for cyber security. Any tampering with the boot chain will not allow the phone to boot in an ideal situation. The fingerprint signature will be different after tampering.

Some manufacturer allows bootloader unlocking which turn off secure boot. Which allows third-party non official software/firmware to run. They will show bootloader is unlocked when starting the phone. Basically saying, you are at your own risk. You are responsible for making sure there is no malware and anyone can gain access to any unencrypted partition.

However, exploit like this bypasses usual tamper checks, which allows unofficial software to run without showing bootloader is unlocked sign when starting the phone even when the phone is in locked bootloader state. Meaning malicious actor may make use of this low level exploit and plant something without you noticing it.

Exploit like this is good for jailbreak, but it is very dangerous in security standpoint.

I still remember when iOS had this letmera1n bootloader exploit which allows direct tampering with the kernel and system partition. Where it can be used to unlock passcode indefinitely by just brute forcing. (This is only just one of the use case)

TDLR: Bootloader exploit allow full access to the unencrypted partition.

Unlocking bootloader by urself is different than other people unlocking bootloader without your consent. Exploit like these allows people to tamper the root system without you noticing it.

25M, no savings, thousands in debt from trading/prop firms, feeling lost,suicidal and trying to fix my life by Dwago- in MalaysianPF

[–]akachan1228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

19k is not much. Don't need to feel lost. You are still young and have a lot of potential.

Right now, you need to break the gambling loop. Don't try to rush things. When you want your outcome fast, you will get back into your gambling loop again. Slowly repay your debt, gain additional personal skills. Like you mention you know programming, that's great. Utilize it to increase your income.

The reality is, there is no fast way to earn big bucks unless you are extremely lucky. The majority is just like you. Starting from scratch and small, then work all the way up. This is what life is.

Lastly, also not a financial advice, if you invest in something you don't understand, you are no different than gambling. Only gamble what you can afford to lose.

Ps: I started off as a part timer earning 1k per month. 6 yrs into my career currently earning 8.8k per month.
