  • I’m no cryptographer, so take this with a good heap of salt.

    Basically, all encryption multiplies some big prime numbers to get the key. Computers are pretty slow at division and finding the right components used to create the key takes a long time, it’s basically trial and error at the moment.
    If you had an algorithm to solve for prime numbers, you could break any current encryption scheme and obviously cause a lot of damage in the wrong hands.





  • I general you need to flash either Magisk or KernelSU by patching to boot image or sideloading in the recovery.
    Motorola seems to change bootloader unlocking for every phone, so the easiest way would be making a Windows VM and just do that.
    I have found a CLI tool for flashing Qualcomm chips while in download mode, but there’s not really any documentation about it.





  • With color spaces we’re talking about standards like sRGB, Rec.2020 and many more. Wikipedia Article

    If a video comes with information on the color space it uses, the video player and compositor can now do a more source accurate mapping to your screen than before.

    If you also have an ICC profile for your monitor, you’ll get the most out of your panel now. Without that, the compositor will assume an sRGB calibration (when not using HDR) and do its best to map a higher definition video to that.
