@flameeyes For essentially all, but that's conditional on having usbdev access to begin with. I don't think all distros do that?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@flameeyes I mean, I do of course; I mess around with USB devices too often not to just give myself blanket usb group access :-)1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@flameeyes Yeah, ISTR that consolekit/whatever is set up like that these days often. Dangerous indeed.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@flameeyes I think the kernel has filtering for FW commands on SCSI devs (need access to burn discs). No such thing possible for USB devs :(1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@flameeyes Yeah, most of the well-known devices end up having kernel drivers anyway.
