It’s only downtime if you take 24h+ to fix it, otherwise it’s just slow e-mails.

They say it will get “up to” 7 years of security updates, so 10 years is already out.

That requirement applies from products released starting February 18, 2027 so afaik it released just in time to not be required by law to be user replacable.

…so, how come the phone costs twice as much as the steam frame?

Tho I do get that it doesn’t get any subsidies from preinstalled bloatspyware.

On the software side, the Signature 27 comes with Android 17 preinstalled, along with the usual Google services, Gemini, and Gemini Intelligence. Motorola says it also includes the new Rambler voice dictation feature, which Google introduced with the Pixel 11 series. It also includes “Create My Widget,” a feature that lets users create widgets to their specifications.

Yeah? At this price I’ll just not buy this new phone and keep my old, cheaper to produce, phone. The consumer/buyer doesn’t have to care why it’s expensive, they have to decide if the price is acceptable or not. Motorola could have chosen cheaper components and made a phone that’s worse, but also cheaper. That would have likely have been a phone I’d buy but instead they made a flagship that costs 1900€.

At this price It’s just not worth it for me.

That seems to have been an error, Germany also gets 7000mAh according to other news outlets that said the same thing and then corrected themselves in an edit.

How can they even justify the price? Samsung’s flagship “only” costs 1750€ and even Apple is lower at 1850€, and that’s assuming the 1900€ price is for the 512GB variant and not the 256GB where Samsung and Apple would be even cheaper (1550, 1600). Are they really thinking people will choose them over the most popular brands when they are more expensive and less established?

It doesn’t release with graphene os so that would be stupid, it ships their android.

If the encryption is correctly configured then that doesn’t matter. The only vulnerability that matters is in the encryption algorithm and that’s very difficult to brute force or get a vulnerability for. Though at some point you’re dealing with rubber hose cryptography where you have do deal with not knowing the password yourself.

A machine so stupid, it indistinguishable from a human.

Here, as linked from the article:

IMO storing Passkeys in Google Password Manager is a bad idea in general.

Pray I do not adjust it further.

It’s a *feature*

There exists shims that are signed by Microsoft and were not revoked. Normally this would be fine but these shims had weaknesses that allowes hackers to load any code using them. Normally the shims should only run other signed/trusted code. These vulnerable shims can be used to bypass secure boot by replacing your existing bootloader with the shim and then running rootkits/hackerOS/whatever and bypass bitlocker using TPM or just running a level 0 virus that can’t be detected by the OS on any PC which trusts Microsoft’s keys (99% of all PCs)

To prevent this you’d have to not trust the vulnerable shims by either adding them manually to the exclusions list or using your own secure boot keys which would only trust the few bootloader files your pc uses and no other files.

Worst case: it behaves as if secure boot wasn’t on. Without secure boot you wouldn’t need this exploit cause then you can replace the bootloader with whatever you want anyways. With or without secure boot you need administrative permission to replace the bootloader so this is only an issue after your PC is already compromised or if someone had physical access to your PC.

tldr: Either use your own keys or don’t trust secure boot.

This is the year of the OpenAI bankruptcy.

Fair enough, I meant consumer demand as in not ai and data centers

Ram demand expected to drop another 40-50% in Q3?
