BREAKING: Xiaomi Announced New Rules for Bootloader Unlocking for Global Users

Xiaomi recently updates rules for its bootloader unlocking program in China which will be applicable since 1st Jan 2025 onwards. But the same rules are also applicable for global users.

Thus, global users can unlock ONLY 1 device per account in 1 year as the unlocking period is basically around 1 year. After that, you need to again apply for unlocking permissions from Xiaomi. In theory, the permissions should be given instantly but the reality is often disappointing as there have been instances where some users have been trying to gain permission to unlock bootloader for their phone for even 2 months now and still NO luck

Who knows Xiaomi might again updates its bootloader unlocking program rules in 2025 end wherein they might announce, GAME OVER.

VPN usage spiked in the US as States ban porn

17 states out of 50 states in the US (more than 33%),have now introduced restrictions for online adult content, blocking access to popular pornographic websites such as Pornhub, RedTube, YouPorn etc. The restriction applies to the under 18 age group and it also requires visitors to provide state-approved identification, such as a passport or driving license.

Critics claim that this is a violation of user privacy, with Pornhub, RedTube and YouPorn parent company Aylo claiming that it also puts people’s personal data at risk. These company have withdrawn its websites from these states as a result of the laws.

Further restrictions could be introduced under Donald Trump’s administration as controversial Project 2025 plan states :-

"Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned”.

Windows 11 BitLocker Encryption has been BYPASSED!

Researchers have shown a method to bypass bitlocker using physical attacks. This attack is done by checking and capturing contents of RAM while the computer boots up. Why? Because bitlocker encryption key is temporarily stored when the PC is booting. A person can just restart while the pc is booting and dump the RAM to extract Full Volume Encryption Keys. (FVEK)

LOL even Bitlocker is not secure anymore!!!

The Fate of the Exynos 2500

Samsung Galaxy S25 series will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite Leading Edition (4.57GHz overclocked) everywhere, irrespective of the country, instead of the Exynos 2500 because of the poor yields of the Samsung 2nd Gen 3nm GAA architecture. Fortunately, the Exynos 2500 is still alive and Samsung has even begun its mass production and it will power the Galaxy Flip 7.

Anyways, Galaxy S25+ Europe model with 12GB RAM running Android 15 was spotted on Geekbench 6 which revealed the configuration of the chip

CPU:
1x Cortex-X925 @ 3.30GHz
2x Cortex-A725 @ 2.75GHz
5x Cortex-A725 @ 2.36GHz
2x Cortex-A525 @ 1.80GHz

Thus, a deca-core chip with confirguration of 1+2+5+2.
NOTE: The clock speeds are NOT final because it was running on energy_aware and is a prototype model as well

GPU: Samsung Xclipse 950 @ 1.3GHz
Based on the AMD RDNA 3.5 architecture
16CU (compute units)

Shoutout to the homies at "IObit Malware Fighter".

Their IMFForceDelete driver is so wildly vulnerable, and poorly written, you can have their driver arbitrarily delete any file on the machine with 0 privileges and literally 1 line of code

Thanks _mmpte_software for sharing

We're so back 🙏

But in all seriousness, this is cooked. Also, driver is signed. Throw in the pile of crappy poo poo pee pee drivers
