On an iOS? More likely not, unless you follow its instructions to mess with your settings.

Why not exFAT if you’re going to exchange data between Windows and macOS?

What is the domain? Reddit.com has an HSTS header so compliant browsers shouldn’t even connect with HTTP.

Because the software receives nearly all input from the screen. The proof of concept shows a laptop running the screen, but the actual attacker would have their own controller embedded. This way it can log all presses including the unlock pattern, wait until the phone is idle for hours and a notification wakes the screen, replay the unlock pattern, launch a webpage to download further payload, etc.

Basically, the question is “how bad it would be if someone could watch everything on your phone’s screen and touch it when you’re not looking”.

It’s possible because Android doesn’t verify that the components are genuine. Unlike in iOS, as long as the components conform to a very minimal spec, it will work. The screen is large enough to carry extra payload, including malicious ones. See my other link in this thread to see the demo.

Nope. The delay between matching and the start of the battle from loading the files is already hidden by pregame lobby. If you feel the game to be sluggish or choppy when you’re already in the level blasting each other, SSD won’t change anything.

What is your TV model? Could it be that your TV runs Linux and your flash drive is formatted on a filesystem only fully supported by Linux, like say ext4? There are some 3rd party apps that can enable at least read-only access on macOS and Windows, or you can boot into a live USB Linux (with another USB drive obviously) and then copy the files into the computer.

The research paper merely proves that it is possible, and relatively affordable for a targeted attack, but in reality, someone interesting enough for such an attack would already have their device attacked through other means, no need to wait for the screen to be damaged. For mass surveillance, nobody is wasting extra money for each and every broken screen, there are much cheaper solutions such as updates that include malware.

That seems like a terrible idea. Unless you have a gigabit connection with a dedicated IP at home, an ISP that completely ignores any DMCA & DDoS traffic, and law enforcement who’ll just leave after you explain that the CP coming from home is due to your renting out servers, however much you got paid isn’t worth the trouble.

Nah, it doesn’t expose such functionality. You’d have to use an app on the phone to manually scan.

How did you sync? If it’s merely copying, deleting on either side won’t be reflected on the other.

You can just use a live Linux installer to fix the GRUB if you have a flash drive at hand. Otherwise, try EasyBCD to add the Linux entries to the Windows boot sequence. Once you get into Linux, fix GRUB.

Unless you’re trying to resize the partition, the built-in defragmenter in Windows is enough (and that’s only needed if you’re still using an HDD, SSD doesn’t need it).

There’s Microsoft PC Manager if you really want to.

Thinkpads replacement components are very common.

Yes, her office policy disabled developer options. You probably need to set her up with her own laptop, or at least her own Windows account.

Stolen number probably? Adding the number to an account can trigger the charges.

Remove all unknown extensions in your browser. Yeah, if you’ve granted permission to read passwords you’re fucked.

Can you access https://dnscheck.tools/ in both phones and share the detected DNS resolvers?

Have you contacted your ISP? Factory reset on the router should’ve cleared the problem unless the malware managed to overwrite the firmware.

Have you tried https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38044532/how-to-turn-a-portable-sd-card-into-internal-storage-via-adb-command? Make sure you don’t allocate all into internal, leave some for external since some apps assume they always exist and crash otherwise.
