Hardware security is changing very rapidly.

There's more than it seems on the surface.

Do you mean software security issue one could exploit given physical access (which sounds a much minor issue than hardware obsolescence in this world of overproduction and waste) or risk of physical harm due to, say, fire hazard or similar?

This is Hacker News. I'm speaking of exploits/firmware vulnerabilities.

New hardware brings new mitigations, like the Pixels + GrapheneOS for example.

Used to think Android/mobiles were awful from a security perspective. Boy was I wrong.

Still awful for privacy, if Airplane mode is off, but, still.

Also, NOT just exploitable with physical access....remote code execution is not just a theoretical fantasy.
