You have a whole /8 subnet of localhost, do it.

Most backdoors are dangerous and dumb.

Why do you need EV certs?

"Nix" doesn't resemble "nichts", it's slang for the same thing in German so it has the same meaning.

I don't know which language is the source but if someone can access the nix paper to confirm that'd be great.

I believe that [nix meaning 'nichts' in german] is even intentional, the original author of nix (Eelco Dolstra) is from the Netherlands. The name comes from the fact that by default, nothing is available in build environments in nix.

Which is apparently confirmed by https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/5fd8/8f89bd8738816e62808a1b7fb12d3ab14a2f.pdf but I can't access that.

Nix = slang for "nichts" = word for "nothing" in German

Absolutely bamboozled

Update: April 15, 2025 (3:35 AM ET): Samsung has confirmed that the One UI 7 update will resume shortly. According to a solutions manager on Samsung’s Korean community forums, the rollout was temporarily paused due to maintenance-related issues. However, the inspection is now complete, and the update is expected to restart soon. Here’s the full statement:

And how long to push them.

Just the usual amount. I don't think we want to know.

weakness in signature verification algorithm that could allow an administrator privileged attacker to load arbitrary microcode patches

I don't think this will affect performance unless you depend on having to quickly update the CPU microcode multiple times a second.

EntrySign is a vulnerability that enables attackers with ring 0 or kernel-level access to bypass safeguards.

So almost no security impact and no performance change?
