Chrome was updated September 11
Matrix Element Desktop updated September 15, without a changelog or advisory. (The Element update on September 13 did not include the updated electron with the fix; today’s update does, according to their announcement on Matrix.)
Many/most electron apps don’t receive timely security updates, so if you don’t want arbitrary images to be able to get code execution you might want to stop using them.
Well this was a 150 € phone when new so that’s a pretty different category than what you’re looking at. I wouldn’t be surprised if 32b was still a thing in the cheap Chinese phones.
If I ever get a chance to replace it, it will be extremely tough because it has a bunch of things which are indispensable for me that newer models simply don’t have.
What kind of stuff are you looking for?
Screen with no holes, physical dual SIM cards and mSD card, headphone jack, somewhat trustworthy manufacturer with no ads and bloat, easily unlockable bootloader. There should still be one German-made phone that still has all that and some more, if it still exists, although if I ever get to getting a new phone we’ll probably all be using brain implants so it may all be moot by that point. Don’t worry about it, I’m not looking for recommendations or anything, I know everyone thinks my demands are crazy.
Nah the demands aren’t crazy, they all used to be standard until the mass enshitification hit. My sister’s boyfriend found one that had almost all of those bar from the hole punch and the trustworthy manufacturer (some off brand Chinese company I don’t remember off the top of my head). Even had a thermal camera on it which was cool
There are a lot of phones that have some of the features - Sony has punchless displays, some cheap phones have headphone jacks, all the Motorolas have two SIMs, some phones have SD cards in shared slots, Pixels and some others have unlockable bootloaders, it’s just basically impossible to get one with all of this…
