Is there anyone who has done a technical write up and investigation into the firmwares?

Like reverse engineering how the software on the TVs work.

Also what third parties are involved.

I have a feeling there must be some third party vendor selling the same toolkit that manufacturers use.

Would be nice to figure out if it's possible to send junk data to the endpoints.

By who? Manufacturers have been public about selling viewing data and put it in their user agreements.

Which manufacturers and which TVs?

Otherwise it's just some 10+ year old rumour

I searched online and found articles from December 2024 that Discord supports Wayland screen and audio sharing.

That backdoor was never pushed out of the testing branches for distros.

Because your post is the repeating cliches that are under every discussion about systemd.

You're essentially saying that the month you spent is enough for you to call it bad and the creators incompetent.

What qualifies you to make a determination like that?

There is never any actual technical reasons it's always about vague things like not adhering to UNIX philosophy, lines of code or it being badly designed (without any real architectural criticism)

This is an article about why they believe sudo isn't a good system. Where's your criticism of that from a technical / security perspective?

It's been about 10 years since systemd was adopted by Debian/Ubuntu/Redhat/Fedora etc.

Millions of deployments over the years. The companies that build and are paid to support for years with SLAs the operating systems are using it without issue.

Is that really how they develop software?

Because I'm pretty sure that most of the components are optional.

You did not even discuss the reasoning given for not using sudo to instead hop on your soapbox to say it's bad software with bad practices and that they are stupid.

It's annoying how in the the more surface level Linux communities there's 0 value in discussing systemd.

"1 million lines of code for PID0!"

The new thing is blaming systemd for that recent exploit even though distros were patching in the bug themselves.

People analysing the exploit determined that a new version of systemd was going to prevent the exploit vector so the exploit seemed to have been rushed out.

Isn't this just textbook FUD?

What I've noticed is over the years is systemd would have identified a gap in functionality.

Like systemd-homed having a solution for automatically encrypting home directory when the machine is suspended.

Is that a functionality that OSX has had for years? Yes.

But anti-systemd people will dislike it automatically.

Only two skin colours eh? White and political?

Or is women you've got a problem with?

It's a technical article about an esoteric topic, you don't usually get good discussion.

Sometimes it's good for a laugh. Like I remember a commenter in one of the XZ posts saying that open source contributors should be required to have US security clearance.

The top comment talking about Vista (2007), Crisis (last game 2011), Witcher (Last game 2015) and the Datsun name change (1986) is really something.

iPhones and Android phones don't exist? Perhaps all Android phones are $200 and don't support HDR.

There's a lot of windows laptops that support P3 or in the case of some OLED displays exceed Display P3's gamut.

The same for monitors. There's 4K OLEDs hitting the market hitting about 80% rec 2020 and completely covering Display P3.

Your display market knowledge is a few years outdated.

If the 16ms latency at 60hz bothers you.

Then get a 120hz display which has 8ms latency.

Or there's 240hz 4k displays with 4ms

If that's not enough then there's 1080p esport monitors with 540hz so 1.85ms.

Who designates it as critical?

If someone makes a library and other people start using it, are they forced to reveal their identity?

Do the maintainers get paid?

Some people are trying to push a conspiracy theory that the maintainer and the contributor are the same person.
