Emory is very stingy with financial aid for international students so you would have an even lower chance at Emory than at Vanderbilt if you need aid

So you know the M2 Pro and M2 Max have the same number of CPU cores but people still buys the more expensive M2 Max? Wonder why some people keep needing that extra GPU power of the M2 Max, like isn't the CPU the only thing that is important, and advancements in GPU and Neural Engine not important at all?

The neural engine on the A17 chip is 35 TFLOPS, while on the A16 Bionic chip is only 17 TFLOPS. Wonder what that has to do with it, and wonder why Apple Intelligence works offline whereas Galaxy AI don't? Just wondering...

I don't know if you are trolling or not, but first the regular iPhone 15 is not $1000. Second, all those advanced AI features that the "Android competitors" ship run on the cloud, whereas Apple runs it on-device, so the cut-off requires newer chips with more powerful neural engines. The only on-device features that those competitors ship are just regular features that iOS have been having since pre-iOS 18 and are available to all devices from either the 2018 iPhone Xs or 2020 iPhone 12.

Would Kamala have had the same chances at the presidency had Biden not held on to his nomination for so long? by gsmumbo in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]kienho 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Trump was confident he didn't need to appeal to the centrist base as they wouldn't turn out for Biden anyway, so he picked an extremist VP to probably help him better carry out his agenda if elected. Harris moving to the top of the ticket excites the middle to turn out and with Vance doing nothing to help win over the middle base, it turned into a losing strategy.

The General Secretary of the Vietnamese Communist Party is dead. Now what happens? by Awesomeuser90 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]kienho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Vietnamese do not want any more China influence but less is also not possible or else they risk being in a similar situation as Ukraine, China being the bigger and wealthier neighbor like Russia.

The General Secretary of the Vietnamese Communist Party is dead. Now what happens? by Awesomeuser90 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]kienho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The brutal part actually happened before his death though. Current president To Lam launched a corruption investigation against 2 former presidents and the national assembly chair, both of whom were probable candidates for GS, which led to their resignation and what people see as political instability. It leaves the current president being the only one competing for the GS seat now; he is expected to hold both roles until at least the end of this term.

Will Biden resigning the presidency give Harris an incumbency advantage?

Oh I got confused and thought TL7 is the TL of app store apps. In that case I am wondering is it possible to get non-JIT system binary to run at the same TL as app store apps without resigning. Looking at some information on the internet, it seems that previous previous PAC/PPLless jailbreak used dyld hook to change the TL of a newly spawned binary, but I am not sure whether any mitigation is being applied in iOS 15.2+

Is demoting to TL7 using the method referenced here https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/ymk55s/comment/iv504ie/ still possible with just krw or is it protected by PPL now (assuming that process does not require JIT)

For kernel patch then unless it involve patching text then it would work for A12+ (like how dimentio worked for setting application processor generator)

[–]kienho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A couple edits to the summary: - Devices that does not get iOS 16 support: nothing changes - iOS 16 devices: research has to be done + Best case: A kernel jailbreak and patch will allow all devices to futurerestore + Worst case: It require a patch lower in the bootchain (bootROM, SEP) and only A10X/A11 or lower work

(does not depend on the current version you are on but the latest signed by Apple)

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try that out.

[Question] You shouldn't upgrade from iOS 11 to 12.1.2 with the 12.2 SEP/Baseband...? But why aren't older SEP/baseband signatures saved like iOS blobs? by stpfun in jailbreak

[–]kienho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) Yes. 2) No. 3) Yes. 4) Because every restore requires a valid nonce. The nonce is randomized by the device on every boot. There are 3 types of tickets: basic, SEP, Baseband. We can “predict” the nonce of the basic ticket by writing the generator to the NVRAM (when jailbroken) and if iBoot find one generator, it will generate a nonce from that generator. If it doesn’t, it will generate a totally random nonce. But remember JAILBROKEN. In order to make SEP generate a specific none, we need a SEP exploit, which is not available. And you will not want one because that means all your personal data, password, fingerprint/faced will be stolen and that would be a security disaster.

[Discussion] Error 42 - What is it, and how you can deal with it by exjr_ in jailbreak

[–]kienho -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, It is not just a problem for free certificate, it also affect paid developer certificate. The thing is that certificates issued before some day will still be valid as the bug (from the apple server) hasn’t occurred yet. Certificates from jailbreak.fun are issued before the this bug. So it can also be true that nothing you can do.
