Having to click "Verify you are a human" every single time is still awful.

/e/OS ranks poorly and is consistently months behind security updates: https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm
Also visual voicemail should actually work just fine on select carriers.

Back when I was developing my DivestOS project, test calling 911 was actually a thing I tried to do each month for this reason.
There was one time where I did ship an update that broke select calls but I had it fixed on all devices in under 24 hours.

The oneplus3 cannot be relocked as it wrongly trusts test-keys. It also has public EDL firehose files available allowing anyone to flash it arbitrarily even when locked or further dump ram or userdata.
I previously documented this here: https://web.archive.org/web/20250120181249/https://divestos....

Briar is actually even older than that!

interesting!
I suppose a sufficiently older agesa may actually load the newer microcode then if that was a recent addition in preparation for this
Comment · 1 year ago
recent microcode appears to be rejected by older agesa in my testing, so it is very possible it is more than an implementation issue
under agesa 1.2.0.2b
> microcode: CPU1: update failed for patch_level=0x0a60120c
under agesa 1.2.0.3a PatchA (which asus leaked that it fixes this issue)
> microcode: Updated early from: 0x0a60120c

Reminder that AMD has stopped providing microcode updates for consumer platforms via linux-firmware.
index of linux-firmware, 41 cpus supported: https://github.com/divestedcg/real-ucode/blob/master/index-a...
index of my real-ucode project, 106 cpus supported: https://github.com/divestedcg/real-ucode/blob/master/index-a...
sadly, unless you have this recent agesa update you can no longer load recent microcodes due to this fix
which very well means quite a substantial amount of models whose vendors don't provide a bios update for this (since it goes back to zen1) will not be able to load any future fixes via microcode
