because it’s possible to connect to natural persons.
That’s debatable, and is only based on the claim that it’s just a 24bit decoding that can be brute forced. I don’t know for a fact that it’s true that it can be boiled down to 24bit.
I checked my own /etc/machine-id, and the folder doesn’t even exist, so what exactly is supposed to be in it IDK. And yes I use Manjaro.
You could just assign a random number on install or whatever.
Funny, I thought the exact same thing.
this would have is some sort of tracking.
It’s right at the top of the announcement, that it’s mainly for more accurate stats on unique users.
It’s not that I think this is a good idea, because I don’t, but some people are blowing it out of proportions. Especially since this isn’t at all decided. Which I seriously doubt it will.
You can see the code of what is send.
I’m not aware that Google claims they collect data anonymously, on everything where you are logged in.
So that’s a false equivalence.
The MAC address is anonymized with sha256, and IP adresses aren’t stored.
So this seems to me to be perfectly anonymous.
This may be illegal in EU if they don’t use opt in. Even then it may be illegal for under 18 year olds to collect MAC addresses and disk serial numbers, as those can potentially be used for identification.
The data is anonymized, and the IP is NOT stored. So I’m not sure this violates GDPR?
From the code we can see the machine ID is anonymized, sending only a SHA256 checksum.
def get_hashed_device_id():
# Read the machine ID
with open("/etc/machine-id", "r") as f:
machine_id = f.read().strip()
# Hash the machine ID using SHA-256 to anonymize it
hashed_id = hashlib.sha256(machine_id.encode()).digest()
# Convert the first 16 bytes of the hash to a UUID (version 5 UUID format)
return str(uuid.UUID(bytes=hashed_id[:16], version=5))
This makes it somewhat a nothingburger IMO.
Oh I misremembered what bitwarden is.
Flatter display
I’ll draw that up as a bug fix. 😋
Looks like it could be interesting.

Are ultrasonic sensors better apart from the light hing? That I have never even thought about could be a problem.
Mine detects b between up to 5 fingers, and it’s fast and with good accuracy, which is nice because depending on the situation I may use either hand.
That SOC has a MALI GPU, and last I heard MALI drivers are flaky in Linux.
I thought the hot new Intel thing was supposed to be Arrow Lake.
Which should arrive soon.
But analysts are not convinced by the prereleased data that it will be very good either.
Edit:
THIS IS THE NEW ARROW-LAKE!!
Not having “out of the box”
Where did I say it should absolutely work “out of the box?” Compiling your own drivers can be OK too, but obviously less convenient.
All distros are the same,
No they are definitely not, there are huge differences in availability, quality, configuration and age of packaged software. And finally there are differences in security updates. Also the difference in hardware makes a difference in how well it’s supported with drivers.
A general problem with Arm is that the GPU is poorly supported, and if you want stable drivers, you have tro use an old kernel.
Your response reeks of propaganda.
They’re objectively better
From what I heard, Orange Pi had lots of software problems for instance with drivers, and the quality of distros are not nearly as good as the official for Raspberry Pi.

What do you mean what does he mean? He says it right there:
during balance or scrub of a btrfs volume?
BTRFS is obviously a filesystem, so it’s equally obviously corruption of the BTRFS filesystem.
To be fair the Dimensity 9400 is a marvel, the 3nm process and all the technologies in a modern SOC contain more know how and research than sending people to the moon.
So in a way it’s sort of equivalent to having your own personal moon rocket.
The cumulative level of expertise required to make a modern SOC is mind blowing. Just imagine aligning multiple masks with nanometer precision! Just a “simple” thing as the light source required is so sophisticated a single “lamp” cost about $300 million USD!! The quantum theory principles used to make the motion sensors, the massive design and logistics behind the development of the billions of logic gates.
IMO this modern SOC is the “biggest” world wonder humanity has created yet. Who would have imagined it would be so small?
Absolutely, but considering the rave around AI, I wouldn’t be surprised if AI is improved more than the other parts.
I have a Dimensity 9200+ based phone, and that’s freaking fast IMO, this new SOC is nearing twice the speed of that!
Considering Moore’s law was declared dead many years ago, it’s impressive how much power and efficiency is squeezed out of new components.
AMD revived the desktop 8 years ago, and they too are able to improve significantly each year.
Wow! Just wow. This is a beast. Compared to last year flagship it’s 40% more power efficient, and about 30% faster CPU, up to 80%faster AI, and 40% faster Immortalis GPU!
Qualcomm is getting some tough competition from MediaTek lately.
Yes but because I don’t have the folder it reads myself, I can’t see what actually encoded. Are you sure /etc/machine-id is ONLY the MAC address?
