#Bootloader

2025-12-09

Year 2025 has been terrible for Android world: Google announces Developer Verification which will effectively restrict sideloading, now I read Samsung has silently disabled bootloader unlock with upgrade to Android 16, other manufacturers to follow in EU, supposedly for "security reasons" :blobcatnotlikethis:

And not to mention the only "innovation" in mobile is useless AI :blobcatgooglytrash:

Also Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is now developed behind closed doors of Google, with sources being published after the fact, leaving community outside of the process until Google is done working on it :blobcatfearful:

@wortsalatfinchen@troet.cafe Idee dazu: #fedihelp und #Linux #windows sowie #bootloader und ggf. weitere Hashtags einfügen. KI ist bei PC Thema manchmal auch hilfreich (falls Browser funzt)

You know how you can make your bootloader sing a little tune?Well… what if instead of music, you could make it play Space Invaders? Yes, that’s a real thing.It’s called GRUB Invaders, and it runs before your operating system even wakes up.Because who needs Linux when you can blast aliens straight from your BIOS screen? 🚀 🎶 From Tunes to Lasers In a previous post — “Resurrecting My Windows Partition After 4 Years 🖥️🎮” —I fell down a delightful rabbit hole while […]

Samsung'dan beklenmedik bir dönüş! Telefonlardan kaldırılan bootloader kilidi açma özelliği, Galaxy XR ile geri geliyor. Geliştiriciler ve ileri düzey kullanıcılar için heyecan verici bir haber. Bu hamle mobil özgürlüğü artırır mı?

@garyhtech The size of the old "/boot/efi/boot/bootx64.efi" was in excess (~646 kB) of replacement "boot1.efi" (~150 kB). Did that not concern you?

# On v14.3 system.
zsh
stat -f "%z %N" /boot/{boot?.efi,loader.efi} /boot/efi/efi/{boot/bootx64.efi,freebsd/loader.efi}
160768 /boot/boot1.efi
675328 /boot/loader.efi
674816 /boot/efi/efi/boot/bootx64.efi
674816 /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi

(~500 B difference had me update ~year old boot loader as it was sticking out)

They should at least make a #law where if you stop providing #SecurityUpdates then you should also unlock the #bootloader
