Tails
=====
Project 165
-----------
- Got our website and documentation ready for Tails 7.0. (#20203)
Tails 7.0 has been moved forward to September 18.
I'll continue working on less critical improvements identified through
the inventory done in July as time allows.
- Reported 3 more issues or possible improvements identified while
testing more bits of our documentation against Tails 7.0.
- Researched how Windows 11 helps with USB sticks "disappearing" after
installing from Windows.
We set a "hidden" GPT flag on the Tails partition to prevent Windows
and users tempering with it. As a result, after installing Tails on
Windows, the USB stick disappear from the file browser. People get
confused and sometimes think that Tails broke their USB stick.
In Windows 11:
* The USB stick can still be seen in Settings → Storage → Disks &
volumes. (#21128)
* The USB stick can be reformatted to uninstall Tails from the
Settings as well. Until now, people had to reformat on the Windows
command line. (#21132)
* Even a FAT partition placed after the Tails partition appears in the
file browser. We could provide help in such a partition. (#18770)
- Designed a notification to warn the user when the RAM requirements are
not met. (#5502)
- Tested the boot speed of Tails 7.0 with zstd compression. (#18655)
zstd makes the boot 10-15 s faster on recent laptops.
Other Tor products
==================
- Reported a bug against Tor Browser 15.0a1 in Debian.
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/44114
- Tested Mullvad Browser and discussed doing usability tests to compare
the usability of web content, installation process, and core tasks of
Mullvad Browser and Tor Browser.
