Technology@lemmy.world•CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430UEnglish
23·9 days agoIt’s interesting that in the screenshot in the article, the CPU is identified as a Ryzen 5 7430U but then it gives the codename “Lucienne”, which is the 5500U’s name. So apparently they didn’t fake it perfectly.

141·9 days agoCan these processors use the same motherboard? It might be a big effort to make a custom one for review, more than just dropping in another part. And more costly too, if it meant redesigning other parts.

191·11 days agoYou can pick up malware from a website or an advert on a website. You can pick it up by a friend bringing an infected device and attaching it to your home network. You can pick it up from a phishing link or attachment. You can run an IoT device that downloads malware and propagates it to other machines on your network. You can install a dodgy app on your phone. You can run an application that has a chain of dependencies down to some obscure backdoored library (xz). You can run software that downloads automatic updates and whose update server was compromised (Notepad++) or whose signing certificate was compromised. You can be the victim of a sophisticated supply chain attack (SolarWinds was corporate but it could happen to any complex software). Those are just the first few that spring to mind. And you can pick it up because someone else in your family did any one of these things or many others.
Malware isn’t just for people who do obviously dangerous things like downloading cracks and keygens. There are many vectors for it to get in.

Android@lemdro.id•Leak confirms GrapheneOS & Motorola partnership for non-Pixel hardwareEnglish
2·13 days agoIt annoyed me at first but it really doesn’t matter because the eBay website works fine. It’s just some companies choosing to use Google’s API to check OS integrity. It’s supposed to be a security check to make sure core components haven’t been hacked, but of course Google makes their API returns a “no” if your version of Android doesn’t let them run all their spyware.
