Why Do Privacy Advocates Favor Closed-Source IOS?
I made this at one point to counter that anti-Linux FUD; I still maintain it but not as religiously -- it's become too polarised and no one on that sub is logical once they've made up their minds (which perhaps applies to me also, but shrug !)

Question for restic users
try https://github.com/xkcd386at/scripts/blob/master/restic-find-fzf if this interests you. Like a lot of my tools, this one also uses the amazing fzf program to help you select files or directories to extract

need help implementing s feature into a script
So... https://github.com/xkcd386at/scripts/blob/master/fclone (and yes the program name is probably even less imaginative than rfync -- suggestions welcome)

Why MFA isn't Foolproof?
as for session token stealing, on Linux at least I have long advocated using multiple userids to run browsers -- I log on to gmail in a user called x3-gm, to amazon in a user called x3-amz, and so on. All simultaneously and without having to logoff/logon. https://github.com/xkcd386at/scripts/blob/master/usff has the details, but that's not important; the main idea is to not use the default locations for any important logged in site. Sure there is some pain in manually moving files between userids (e.g., move statement from bank userid to gmail userid to send to my accountant), but it's not hard and some judicious use of /tmp or similar can help a lot

Chromebooks will get 10 years of automatic updates
Why BIOS (did you mean UEFI?) when it runs the best boot loader, which is Corebootยน. Many users would love to re-flash their bios/uefi for it, if itโs supported.

Asus flip c302 last update
You can also use Mr. Chromebox Script to install Coreboot on your chromebook to get a UEFI BIOS on your Chromebook and then you can go an install either a linux distro or even Windows if you want. It's a pretty straightforward process and also reversable if you want to go back to just using ChromeOS.

AMD to move to open source firmware in 2026
There may be other protections to restrict SPI flash access for security reasons (so you might not be able to flash your custom firmware in the OS), but worst case you can use a HW flasher (or maybe USB flashback). Still, this doesn't address the elephant in the room - platform initialization code might be open-sourced, but that isn't everything. You'll still need to figure out the board-specific stuff (the Super I/O chip, chipset GPIOs, other peripherals, etc.). Using coreboot as an example, Intel provides the Firmware Support Package blob to handle platform initialization. I think AGESA is somewhat similar to this, though Intel publicly releases the binaries for use in coreboot/etc. Thanks to the FSP, coreboot has support for recent Intel chipsets. However, there is only support for two recent consumer boards: the MSI PRO Z690-A WiFi DDR4 and DDR5.
