there was no point to be made. I wasn't saying that either platform is insecure. Just seems the link wasn't to show anything other than if you care about security, using the latest version of macos is prudent.

also on newer machines you get more security features, such as SMAP/SMEP which were introduced in the Broadwell chips (2015 macs?)

2012 Samsung series 9 (15")

I really love my laptop, but it's getting old. I think I'd be happy with another samsung, but am not totally sure.

Pros:

+Thin + Light/small bezels on the display

+upgradable ram (came with 8gb, I have 16gb in it now).

+great trackpad/keyboard (only now the 'a' key feels weird, but only after 5 years, so I'm not super upset about that).

+Linux support is good (it didn't start out perfect, things like keyboard backlight only started working like 2-3 years ago, but it's great now).

cons:

-battery life isn't that great. I get a few hours (~2.5-ish? I never checked).

-screen is 1600x900, I'd prefer a 1080p panel. The new ones are 1080p

-ssd is really really slow. like spinning disk slow.

vpn is enough to bypass censorship in china. How do you think international corporations do it?

this is a really great piece of software that is deserving of love/donations. If you've ever wanted a free, supported version of a tool like ida, or a user-friendly tool for assembling/disassembling (radare2 can make use of libraries like keystone/capstone in ways that don't require writing new C code), then you owe it to yourself to donate to, or at least try radare2.

sys/static.sh - compile a static bin

while possible, what benefit would it have over the current default of capstone for x86/amd64? I've never heard of zyan before.

Some great links here. Awesome job curating it!

currently, no. that would be a simple addition though.

good idea, I will add that as an update

to be honest, I was not aware of that piece of software.

One features of my client that I prefer is the auto-copy to clipboard. gist does look nice though.
