I mean, presumably this is all device-side on the stick.

It mounts the two partitions separately, and presents them separately. It doesn’t need to pass through the actual SD card to the host system at all.

If you dd the decoy partition you only ever see the decoy partition. Because the decoy partition is presented as a complete device, not just a partition, to the host system.

Why would this be incompatible with linux? If this is done the way it seems it is done, it’s not a filesystem trick.

It’s two partitions on one SD card being presented as two separate devices by the microcontroller that has actual direct access.

The real vulnerability would be that you could just crack it open to find the SD card.

Great news! We’ve the created the Torment Nexus, from the hit sci-fi series “Don’t Create the Yorment Nexus”!

In case you’re unaware, that’s literally why they took to calling it that.

Technically correct, easiest to market back when people were first starting to have doubts about setting stuff we found underground on fire.

OMFG.

Gemini is neat, but it SSUUUUUUUUCCCKKS at being a voice assistant.

It will frequently produce a fucking essay in response to being asked to turn the lights on or off.

I just gave it a go again, 30% of the time it pretends to do what you ask without actually doing it. 20% of the time it flat-out refuses while never failing to mention that I really should enable gemini activity tracking. 40% of the time is claims this functionality does not exist, even though it was given the ability to “ask assistant” to do things only it can do (like identify music by listening to it). 10% of the time it will successfully hand off to asistant, which will then instantly do as asked.

Worse.

It will fucking lie and say it set a timer or reminder, and if you ask it “wtf” in response when it clearly didn’t (if you notice), it’ll fucking explain it’s just roleplaying at being a voice assistant.
