Sileo Demo updated to v1.2.0 with rewritten repository manager

Sileo is the exclusive package manager for handsets that have been pwned with the Electra Team’s Chimera or Electra jailbreaks, but non-jailbroken devices can deploy a special build of Sileo for testing and repository-browsing purposes.

On Friday, the Sileo Team issued a revised iteration of the Sileo Demo for non-jailbroken devices, bringing it up to version 1.2.0:

Apple may ditch the problematic butterfly mechanism keyboards sooner than expected

Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently predicted that the first Apple notebook to ditch the butterfly keyboard will be a refreshed MacBook Air.

Unc0ver versions 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 released to add iOS 12.3 beta 1 support and improve reliability

Pwn20wnd announced the updates just minutes ago via Twitter, and as it would seem, unc0ver v3.4.2 is now the latest release available to the public. Unc0ver v4.3.2 was released just shortly after v4.3.1:
