Ah, the joys of waking up to find the Mac's done an overnight upgrade… and erm, suddenly things stop working. Thankfully, me and Claude managed to work out what the fuck is going on… I'm sharing here, as well as having raised in on https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/22280434 (that seems to need a login?).

introduction

I like MacOS. It has its flaws, but overall, as a productivity operating system, especially when paired with Apple's ARM chips, nothing really compares. However, there are a few things I find I need to do to get it just right. These are those things. Take the ones you value, leave the rest.

the missing package manager: homebrew

macos shouldve come with a package manager, but for some reason, doesn't -- so the community made one called Homebrew. Go to https://brew.sh, and copy the 1-liner installation script, then paste that into Terminal, type in your password once or twice, download the xCode developer tools, and eventually you'll be good to go. The following all use brew, the cli tool.

Done? OK, let's continue.

Usage

Have your TV rooted
Open Terminal with SSH client or dev-manager-desktop
Run curl -fsSL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/mariotaku/f7228c5459fc7ad2172a2b69dd51a4eb/raw/webosbrew-install-tailscale.sh | sh and wait for it to finish

Enable SSH on Cloud Gateway Ultra

Head to Settings > Control Plane > Console.
Then under Advanded enable SSH and input a password.

Login to Cloud Gateway Ultra

The username is root and the password is the one you set.
Find the PID by using pidof udhcpc.
Once you found the PID excute the command /bin/kill -SIGUSR2 PID which will kill the process.
Verify that the interface no longer has an ip address using ip addr.
Now reboot the router using reboot now.

hi, i'm daniel. i'm a 15-year-old high school junior. in my free time, i hack billion dollar companies and build cool stuff.

3 months ago, I discovered a unique 0-click deanonymization attack that allows an attacker to grab the location of any target within a 250 mile radius. With a vulnerable app installed on a target's phone (or as a background application on their laptop), an attacker can send a malicious payload and deanonymize you within seconds--and you wouldn't even know.

I'm publishing this writeup and research as a warning, especially for journalists, activists, and hackers, about this type of undetectable attack. Hundreds of applications are vulnerable, including some of the most popular apps in the world: Signal, Discord, Twitter/X, and others. Here's how it works:

Cloudflare

By the numbers, Cloudflare is easily the most popular CDN on the market. It beats out competitors such as Sucuri, Amazon CloudFront, Akamai, and Fastly. In 2019, a major Cloudflare outage k

	<# Workaround for NVIDIA's DLSS4 whitelisting


	-------- WHAT IS THE BACKSTORY? --------

	DLSS4 was launched alongside the RTX 5000 series and comprise several new and interesting
	features, f.e. additional presets for Super Resolution, using a newer Transformer model.
	Arguably these features increase image quality significantly. To various degrees these
	features are also available for older RTX cards, and older games using DLSS3/2.
