Canon PIXMA G550 Linux compatibility?
When you say proprietary drivers, I assume that means they are only available for x86_64 platform... leaving ARM64/aarch64 devices, like Pi's and such, out of luck?
Something I've experienced with similar printer drivers. Hence the ask.
Does anyone have any experience with sending raw HID commands on Linux? Trying to make a project work

device (that device at least on my system, may vary on others), as well as hidapitester
(a wrapper for hidapi

‘No warning at all’: Texas flood survivors question safety planning and officials’ response
People who lost everything describe leaving homes and express anger at poor preparedness and officials who seemed to shirk responsibility
As Texas marshals a formidable response to the flash floods that have already killed dozens, questions are now being posed about warnings that were given on Thursday and early Friday about the severity of the approaching storm and the co-ordination between local officials and the National Weather Service.
New flood alerts were issued for Texas “hill country” on Sunday, prompting rescue services to suspend the search for missing people, including at least 11 from Camp Mystic, the summer camp on the banks of the Guadalupe River hard hit by Friday’s flash flood.
At an early evening press briefing, Kerr county authorities said they were suspending the search and evacuating first responders from the river valley. They confirmed that 68 had died there, including 28 children. Not all have been identified, with officials still examining the bodies of 18 adults and 10 children.
Saw an interview of a guy whose house had like 5 feet of water...
He swam out a broken window, climbed on an electrical box but couldn't make it to the roof so he held on for 3 hours.
He said the phone alarm that there was a warning came thru while he was already outside clinging to the side of his house.
Black screen on wake from suspend on game mode
Hi all, I have tried everything, and now I am coming here for help. Hopefully someone can tell me what's happening here.
So, I have this older pc that I have converted into a steam console, first with Bazzite and now with Chimera OS. Both work very nicely, but the one issue that persisted on both distros is that when I put the pc to sleep from game mode (press xbox button>power>sleep) then wake it up, the screen is not receiving a signal, it not even a black screen, just no signal. I would have to force reboot it to be able to get in. Nothing works. I can't even get into a tty screen or do anything. It is connected to a samsung tv 65mu8000 via HDMI cable. I have UHD color input enabled for that input, just to give more details.
I have tried disabling the wake up animation like some folks suggested and that didn't do anything. I have tried disabling the display core like some other searches suggested by putting amdgpu.dc=0 in modprob.d in its own file. I have tried blocking the intel iGPU, even though this CPU doesn't have one. Nothing works.
It has an intel core i7 5930k and an AMD RX 6600.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions
Thank you

I've had the similar problems with bazzite in desktop mode coming back from sleep or screen off, first with Nvidia, then solved by switching to an AMD graphics card, but now it happens there too. I have two workarounds.
1) Try Ctrl+Alt+F1and Ctrl+Alt+F3. You should be able to switch to console then back to desktop/login screen.
2) In KDE Plasma, there's a way to map wake screen to a keyboard button. That worked for me until I reinstalled the OS and never bothered.
I think this is a Plasma or SSDM issue but idk how to report it properly.
Any ideas would be appreciated
You think it's the screen/hdmi at fault, but it might not be. I've had the problem with two laptops in the past (the bug was with all distros I tried), and in one case it was a BIOS that Linux didn't like, and the second one was the internal wifi that its linux driver was buggy. For the first laptop there was nothing to be done, so I disabled sleep completely in the bios, while for the second one, I disabled the wifi modules in the kernel's blacklist, and then used a usb wifi that I knew it worked better. Both cases were appearing as a dead screen, but it wasn't the screen/hdmi/gfx card to blame. In yet another case, with a thinkpad laptop, the wake up was working, but it would wake up 30 seconds later than anticipated. In that case, it was the fact that its thunderbolt was dead (hardware had gone bad), and only when I disabled it in the bios completely the laptop would wake up correctly and fast.
In all those cases, I had to look at the kernel logs to see what was the issue. There were traces of the problem of which hardware exactly was creating the problem. It might look like a screen/hdmi problem, but most of the times, it's not.
Omarchy - an opinionated Hyprland + Arch setup | built by DHH
David Heinemeier Hansson, the creator of Ruby on Rails, has tailored together his take on Hyprland combined with Arch. It looks quite neat and promising and looks like a nice entry point for those who don't want to configure hyprland themselves. DHH describes Omarchy as:
Turn a fresh Arch installation into a fully-configured, beautiful, and modern web development system based on Hyprland by running a single command. That's the one-line pitch for Omarchy (like it was for Omakub). No need to write bespoke configs for every essential tool just to get started or to be up on all the latest command-line tools. Omarchy is an opinionated take on what Linux can be at its best.
Omarchy comes in different themes, and by the looks of it this are hotswappable on the go by using the keybinds: Super + Ctrl + Shift + Space

1 is my goal, though I think I might have reached 2 once. Because shitty ADSL 😭
My very grateful thanks to people who can afford to do more.
What is a good adhd hack for those cases during which you want to do a million things but are paralyzed and can't?
Was just about to suggest it might be PDA. I have a bit of that and it is rather annoying. Some techniques ive used go combat this:
- challenge yourself. Or someone else challenge you to do a thing. "I bet you can't do x."
- give yourself a couple choices that lead to the same result and then just lick one. This one can be tough if im feeling indecisive.
Neither are perfect but they do help sometimes.
Nice suggestions, thanks!
Challenges usually get the opposite reaction than demands for me, I can't even count all the stuff I've done because of it. Maybe self (not-)imposed challenges would work? I'll need to give it a try. Though challenges also have their problems, like picking the most stupid or pointless ideas because I was advised not to do it. I think there's a correlation between how stupid and pointless an idea is and how quickly my brain latches onto in 😅

If americans come to germany and act like german public Transport is the best, how frickin bad is american public Transport?
Genuine Question. Even if I look at hungarian Transport, and they to this day use trains from the UdSSR, they come more consistantly then the DB.
They are really Bad sometimes, with like 20 seperate prices: Theres the bayernwald ticket that only works in the alps, then theres the official ticket to the destination. Theres a special offer, but only in the very special APP. You can use a d-ticket, but look! Some random ass slum in the middle of the worlds ass dosent accept that, but it does the MVV zone Tickets. But then you need the MVV zone 11-M, a ticket to the beginning to the Nürnberg zones, and a ticket for the Nürnberg zones.
And yet this shit is better than americas rails? How?
When I was in Australia, a bunch of people asked me about the public transport here and all of them were baffled when I told them how shit it was...
I have no idea why this perception that everything must be perfect in Germany or Europe came from but it is sooo outdated.
Speaking of tickets; in NSW you just tap your Opal card when entering/leaving train stations. It makes so much more sense and is so much easier.
Don't even need an Opal card- just tap your phone or your bank card.
The network is also massive. You can tap on in Kiama and tap off in Scone. That's about 400km, roughly equivalent to Berlin to Frankfurt, on regular metro trains. Might take a while, but you can do it.
What’s the ideal ripeness for plantain chips?
I’ve been making plantain chips for a bit, and I’m always dissatisfied with them. If my plantains are too ripe, the chips can’t crunch up. Not ripe enough and they lack the slight sweetness I love.
I decided to grab the greenest ones at the market to slowly ripen them at home, but even that’s a bit wonky, as they tend to ripen on top but not the bottom, which leaves me with something peculiar and delicious, but certainly not what I’m looking for.
So, how do you consistently get plantains in the Goldilocks zone?
That's not a thing.
Is this an AI bot?

Vulnerability Report - June 2025
Introduction
This vulnerability report has been generated using data aggregated on
Vulnerability-Lookup,
with contributions from the platform’s community.It highlights the most frequently mentioned vulnerability for June 2025, based on sightings collected from various sources, including MISP, Exploit-DB, Bluesky, Mastodon, GitHub Gists, The Shadowserver Foundation, Nuclei, and more. For further details, please visit this page.
The final section focuses on exploitations observed through The Shadowserver Foundation's honeypot network.
The Month at a Glance
The June 2025 report highlights a mix of long-standing and newly identified high-risk vulnerabilities. Notably, Citrix discloses a critical NetScaler ADC/Gateway flaw (CVE-2025-5777), dubbed “CitrixBleed 2,” which can expose session tokens and bypass multi-factor authentication — echoing last year’s infamous CitrixBleed. Other urgent issues include a PayU India WordPress plugin vulnerability (CVE-2025-31022) that allows full account takeover across thousands of sites, and a Python “tarfile” library bug (CVE-2025-4517) that enables attackers to write files outside intended directories. Among the most sighted vulnerabilities are multiple Microsoft Windows 10 and Google Chrome flaws, as well as several Citrix ADC bugs, many rated “High” or “Critical.” Common web weaknesses like cross-site scripting and SQL injection (CWE-79, CWE-89) remain widespread, highlighting the ongoing need for strong patching hygiene. Some older vulnerabilities — such as the 2015 D-Link DIR-645 flaw and known Confluence or Cisco RCE bugs — also continue to see active exploitation. Organizations should prioritize remediation of these critical and actively targeted vulnerabilities, while reinforcing application security against injection and XSS attacks.

CitrixBleed 2
Citrix patched a critical vulnerability in its NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway products that is already being compared to the infamous CitrixBleed flaw exploited by ransomware gangs and other cyber scum, although there haven't been any reports of active exploitation. Yet.Security analyst Kevin Beaumont dubbed the vulnerability "CitrixBleed 2." As The Register's readers likely remember, that earlier flaw (CVE-2023-4966) allowed attackers to access a device's memory, find session tokens, and then use those to impersonate an authenticated user while bypassing multi-factor authentication — which is also possible with this new bug.
GCVE-1-2025-0002: Cl0p Ransomware Data Exfiltration Vulnerable to RCE Attacks
A newly identified security vulnerability in the Cl0p ransomware group’s data exfiltration utility has exposed a critical remote code execution (RCE) flaw that security researchers and rival threat actors could potentially exploit.The vulnerability, designated as GCVE-1-2025-0002, was published on July 1, 2025, and carries a high severity rating of 8.9 on the CVSS:4.0 scale.

"This can be abused by a malicious actor to perform action which normally should only be able to be executed by higher privileged users. These actions might allow the malicious actor to gain admin access to the website."CVE-2025-4517: Additional information
RISK : Multiple vulnerabilities affect the standard TarFile library for CPython. Currently, there is no indication that the vulnerability is actively exploited, but because it is a zero-day with a substantial install base, attackers can exploit it at any moment. An attacker could exploit flaws to bypass safety checks when extracting compressed files, allowing them to write files outside intended directories, create malicious links, or tamper with system files even when protections are supposedly enabled. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorised access, data corruption, or malware installation, especially if your systems or third-party tools handle untrusted file uploads or archives RECOMMENDED ACTION: Patch Source: ccb.be
Continuous Exploitation
- CVE-2025-32433 - erlang / otp
- CVE-2015-2051 - D-Link / DIR-645
- CVE-2022-26134 - Atlassian / Confluence Data Center

What's your side of the story?
If someone holds their pee, which would happen first - the sphincters giving way due to the pressure, or the bladder rupturing?
Asking this since I've always been told the former and that your bladder rupturing from not going to the toilet is a myth and the story of Tycho Brahe is too old to be reliable. But in recent years, I've seen articles about people drinking alcohol and passing out and their bladders bursting because the sensations got dulled (which still shouldn't affect the sphincters giving way due to the pressure before the bladder actually ruptures, since it's about the sphincters being not physically strong enough to hold back the pressure).
The existence of overflow incontinence would seem to contradict this story from 2020, for example. Alcohol dulls the urge to urinate, but overflow incontinence often happens in absence of this urge as well, and when the detrusor muscles (which squeeze the bladder) aren't working.
What's the straight dope here?

With that said, your question would probably hold more water (pun intended), if you had asked regarding a urinary tract infection or similar infection forcefully blocking the urethra, making it almost impossible to piss even if you wanted or needed to.
I won't go into the fine details, but early 2009 was definitely not fun for me after a multi-systemic infection that started as a dental abscess.
No, luckily nothing down south ruptured, but its never good when someone is pissing brown, I couldn't hardly even piss for a few days after I started antibiotics.
That wasn't the question though. They asked..

Anyone get a Royal Kludge R75 working under linux and Vial?
My R75 works fine under via.
I'm using the R75 vial firmware located here.
It won't compile, as cloned. It's more than just the directory structure which is completely silly. It's not surprising it didn't work, given it's messy state. I had to modify it a bit, so it could easily be something I did.
I had to add a UID:
config.h -> #define VIAL_KEYBOARD_UID { }
and uncomment tap_dance_action in keymap.c.
tap_dance_action_t tap_dance_actions[] = {
[TD_RESET] = ACTION_TAP_DANCE_FN(safe_reset),
[TD_CLEAR] = ACTION_TAP_DANCE_FN(safe_clear),
[TD_CTL_TG] = ACTION_TAP_DANCE_LAYER_TOGGLE(KC_RCTL, _CTL_LYR)
};
That's about it.
It compiles and downloads cleanly. Via continues to work but Vial does not discover it.
This mosbed firmware extension claims to be a derivative of this work but it doesn't seem to be.
github.com/irfanjmdn/r65/tree/…
Anyone have Vial working? It's a popular keyboard so I expect someone has solved this problem. If no one responds, I'll take it on in a week or so so we can all enjoy ou R75 on linux with Vial.

The problem seems to be lack of ability to give the board a magic serial number. The vial app looks for a specific string in the serial number ("vial:") to identify a vial capable keyboard. My R75 won't accept a serial number, no matter what I do.
Apparently, this is a limitation of some cheap USB controllers (always answer 0 to all serial requests). I don't know if that's true but ChatGPT tells me it's so.
udevadm info -a -n /dev/hidraw$(ls /dev/hidraw* | tail -1 | tr -dc '0-9') | grep -i serial 2 ✘
ATTRS{serial}=="00000000000000000000000000000000"
ATTRS{serial}=="0000:09:00.0"
Apparently, the magic number can be coded into the UID, also. I'm working on that, too, with no success so far. Apparently, USB controllers don't stand in for UID in any case.
I'm struggling with this. If anyone has some ideas or clear direction, I would consider it a favor. If I can manage to make it work, I'll publish the firmware for everyone.
Even if someone got the mossbed firmware to work, that would be helpful to know. I have been banging on it for three days with no luck. This is the most expensive, cheap keyboard I've ever purchased. lol!

Does people doing things that upset others also upset you?
This question came about over a discussion my brother and I had about whether dogs should be on leashes when outside. We both agreed that yes, they should, for several reasons, but that's not the point.
Let's use a hypothetical to better illustrate the question. Imagine that there's a perfume - vanilla, for example - that doesn't bother you at all (you don't like nor dislike it), but that is very upsetting to some people, and can even cause some adverse reactions (allergies or something). In this hypothetical, based on the negative effects, you agree that vanilla perfumes should be banned. Currently, however, they are allowed.
You're walking down the street, and randomly smell someone passing you by and they're wearing a vanilla perfume.
Would that upset you? Why, or why not?
My answer is yes, without a doubt. Even though the smell itself doesn't bother me, the fact someone would wear that perfume and not only potentially upset others, but put them in danger, is upsetting.
My brother, however, would say no! He couldn't explain his reasoning to me.
I know this is a little convoluted, but I hope I got my question across.
There was a certain type of perfume that seemed popular back in the 90s, that would make me instantly gag and almost puke within seconds. I have no clue how anyone found that as any sort of pleasant smell.
To me I thought it smelled like a woman with a nasty yeast infection, trying to cover it up with potpourri. But it wasn't even the women's health causing it, literal potpourri smell alone causes me the same gag reflex, the stuff just smells nasty to me and I can't be in the same room as that smell for long.
So yes, there are reasons to be offended by particular scents, even if others somehow find them pleasant.

[Workaround] (Arch, KDE Plasma 6.4, Wayland) Resuming from sleep taking up to 30 seconds, display settings not loading, screen auto-rotate broken after suspend - issue with iio-sensor-proxy 3.7
Once again posting something for reference as I couldn't find it online
Symptoms
No issues after logging in.
After suspending (sleep) and resuming, screen takes 25 - 30 seconds to turn on.
Display settings in Plasma take a long time to load, sometimes don't show automatic rotation option.
Turning on screen after turning off (even without sleep) takes a long time.
No suspicious logs in Kernel and Journald (even after comparing post-fix).
Switching kernel makes no difference.
Logging out and back in temporarily fixes screen rotation and screen waking until next suspend.
Everything works in X11 session apart from screen rotation (appears unsupported).

Installing Guix as a Complete GNU/Linux System - System Crafters
Trying out Guix for the first time! Waiting for packages to download.
I'm a long time Arch user. Any tips?!
I've heard there aren't as many packages for Guix as other distros, but I was thinking Flatpak and distrobox will help bridge the gap for me.

Btw, here's how you configure HiDPI for GNOME. Unfortunately, my laptop has a hydeepeeay display, so it's not fully compatible with Linux. (It's 3840x2160, so at least 2x scaling is possible, hypothetically.)
Commands from the Arch Wiki, but also adds cursor scaling:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides "[{'Gdk/WindowScalingFactor', <2>}, {'Gtk/CursorThemeSize', <48>}]"
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 2
The default GNOME configuration is some how missing that. I didn't have to do that in Arch, but I do in Guix. IDK. Anyway, if you don't run those commands certain apps will be tiny, including a tiny mouse cursor.

How do your toughts work?
As per title, I am curious. How does your mind / your thoughts work? I only ever experienced my own thoughts, so I'm curious how it works for other people.
I for one feel like my thoughts sometimes are like me talking to myself silently. Sometimes I can even let out a random short sound, which I've come to start disguising by laughing kinda quietly or coughing or whatever. Like it was part of something, and not like an inner monologue almost leaking out.
So, how do your thoughts work?

billionaires are a cancer on society [literally]
Ok so how does a cancer kill its host?
It grows until it consumes so many nutrients that the other living cells don't get enough. The host literally starves even if he eats plentifully.
The same applies for the US: The billionaires are not only hoarding wealth, but by doing so they're crippling the economy for workers and everybody besides themselves.

7-Zip v25 File Archiver Released with Performance Gains
7-Zip v25 File Archiver Released with Performance Gains
The latest 7-Zip release speeds up bzip2 by up to 40%, improves ZIP and FAT archive support, and fixes multiple bugs and security vulnerabilities.Bobby Borisov (Linuxiac)

Hey OP, you were released today with performance gains!
Ha, gotchem. The drive by compliment strikes again.
like this
Beyond raw horsepower, 7-Zip quietly tightens its handling of several legacy formats. Support for ZIP, CcPIO, and FAT archives has been refined, smoothing edge-case extractions that previously required third-party tools.
Over the years there was a few .zip archives that 7z could not handle for whatever reason. For these cases I had to use another application, but don't know the reason. And my bad to not keeping copies of these files for future testing.

Seems like the perfect day to ask: Muricans, what's your dream country to expatriate to? Non-Muricans, what's the thought on accepting US refugees?
I'm very concerned that people who choose to go to France will just find themselves in the exact same situation along with the rest of us not too long from now. I'd advise looking for a country with a lower fascism approval rating...
We do have lots of cheese, though, if it's any consolation.
Weird line tearing on KDE
Posting here too as I've not had any responses in the more relevant communities.
Hi there, I've got these really odd issue where certain windows will cause random lines like the one in the screenshot appear on my screen. They will often flicker a bit and will dissapear if I hover my mouse over them. The lines will display what is beneath the window itself. These occour quite frequently and are frankly getting quite annoying to deal with.
Is this a known issue with KDE right now? It does not happen while using Gnome on the same machine + screen. If it matters I am running CachyOS+KDE 6.4.1+AMD.
If there is anythign I can do to fix this then I'd greatly appriciate some pointers!

Linux gave me a brand new laptop
I bought a Lenovo laptop, one from the the bargain bin, 11th gen Intel and 8gb soldered RAM
Even if I reinstalled Windows to make sure all the bloatware was removed, it was almost unusable. At boot I was left with only 800mb free memory, and "Lenovo vantage" kept reappearing automatically like malware. (It's a useless electron app that wastes half a gig of ram to show you on screen when you press caps lock, check driver updates and try to upsell you on extended warranty)
At idle the machine was as loud as a jet, with crystal disk mark always complaining "the nvme drive is over 65°C!!" (I'm guessing from the constant swapping)
Battery life was a disaster, 2 hours at idle with no foreground apps open
I thought that it was the CPU too slow for my use and the RAM not enough, so I was planning to spend some hundreds of euro to buy a new laptop with at least 16gb of RAM.
Then I installed cachyos and because I'm masochist I chose hyprland at the "easy" install screen that asks you which of the 19 available DE you prefer.
After a week of suffering trying to understand all the text configuration files for everything (it was a shock, everything needs the terminal) I'm now getting used to it and... It's like I got a brand new laptop??!?
Memory: clean boot now obviously is reversed situation. I don't have only 800mb of free RAM, the whole system uses only 800mb
Temperatures: by default cachyos is set to show the CPU temperature on waybar, and it's always around 40-45° C. The fan is way quieter. At idle they can even stop, before they were like a hair dryer even after a clean boot
Battery life: astounding. I can't believe that I can use it for a whole afternoon. Accidentally fell asleep and when I came back after two hours it lost only 10% (on idle, screen turn off automatically)
Gaming performance: tried only with casual games but with something like tinytopia I get 60fps on ultra when on windows it was choppy on high

Generated Summary:
Main Topic: The video discusses Peter Thiel's interview where he hesitates when asked if the human race should continue, and Glenn's reaction to Thiel's views on transhumanism, AI, and the potential dangers of unchecked billionaire influence.
Key Points:
- Thiel's Hesitation: The video starts by referencing Peter Thiel's interview where he seemed uncertain about whether humanity should continue.
- Transhumanism and AI: The discussion explores the transhumanist philosophy prevalent in Silicon Valley, focusing on merging humans with technology and AI, as exemplified by Mark Zuckerberg's vision of brain implants.
- Autism and Conformity: Glenn discusses Thiel's perspective on autism, suggesting that it can provide a detachment from societal norms, fostering innovation.

- Lack of Debate: Glenn expresses concern about the lack of societal debate and safeguards surrounding the rapid advancement of AI, driven by billionaires with unchecked power.
Highlights:
- Glenn's concern about billionaires' ability to reshape society without proper debate due to their wealth and perceived brilliance.
- The discussion of Thiel's autism and how it might influence his unconventional thinking.
- The comparison of mind-altering drugs to autism as a means of achieving transcendent thought.
- The critique of Mark Zuckerberg's vision of brain implants and the potential implications for humanity.

Preventing Asian Citrus Psysllid
I have a small lemon tree that was bought from a local grower and came with the extra bonus of an Asian Citrus Psysllid infestation. The tree is dead now and I'd love to get a new tree, but want to make sure I've done everything I could to prevent a new tree from getting infested by any Psysllid still in the area.
Is there anything I can do to treat my soil or surrounding plants to make sure those little buggers aren't going to keep coming back? I'm in California where the sale of IMIDACLOPRID products is banned, which was previously the primary treatment for this.
In all seriousness, you need to contact your local university agriculture extension. Like right now.
This is a huge problem this generated from unlicensed growers, and they are shipping this all over the country, causing massive outbreaks.
Unless you live in an area with an abundance of Mantids or Wasps, I don't think there are any other means of control aside from harsh pesticides.
Call your local extension immediately, tell them where you got it, and have them come visit to treat if necessary.

GrapheneOS version 2025070300 released
Tags:
- 2025070300 (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold, Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8a, Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Pixel 9a, emulator, generic, other targets)
Changes since the 2025070100 release:
- increase virtual memory reserved for Binder buffers from 1MiB to 8MiB due to Android 16 having a very large Binder transaction scaling up based on the number of apps and profiles which can go beyond the total size limit and break fully booting the OS, which occurred for a tiny number of our Alpha testers (if you were one of the tiny number of Alpha channel testers running into this, you can sideload this release to resolve the issue)
- fix issues with display of the end session button to avoid it being wrongly displayed for Owner or not displayed for secondary users (we may remove this part of the upstream end session UI or make it optional since the functionality is also in the power menu)
- update Pixel USB HAL to Android 16 (this was omitted in the initial port due to needing special handling for our USB-C port and pogo pins control feature)
- always use UTC as the time zone for build date properties
- kernel (6.6): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision
GrapheneOS Foundation Commentary On ICEBlock's False Claims About Push Notifications
ICEBlock is making incredibly false privacy claims for marketing. They falsely claim it provides complete anonymity when it doesn't. They're ignoring both data kept by Apple and data available to the server but not stored. They're also spreading misinformation about Android:Their claims about push notifications on Android compared to iOS are completely false. Both Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) and the Apple Push Notification service (APNs) function in a similar way with similar privacy. However, Android does not force using FCM and apps can use other push systems.
iOS forces uses Apple services including getting apps through Apple where they have a record of which apps each person and account has installed and using their push notification service. Both FCM and APNs have tokens. Android doesn't allow apps to access device IDs. Push tokens aren't device IDs.
Apple and Google can identify devices/users based on push tokens obtained by law enforcement from services. Unlike Google, Apple only recently began requiring warrants:
reuters.com/technology/apple-n…
ICEBlock's claims about this are highly inaccurate and they haven't acknowledged corrections.
