What is the reason for the udev
rule here: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=davinci-resolve#n206 ?
It seems to have been introduced back in 2019 (see below commit), and gives non-root users access to a USB VID (https://devicehunt.com/view/type/usb/vendor/096E#search-results-table) mainly associated with cryptographic hardware keys like the Google Titan, which is odd.
commit 6093b3710aca Author: Alex alexandervai@gmx.de Date: Thu Jan 10 14:18:25 2019 +0100
Can you elaborate on this?
EDIT: Apparently 096e:0201 is used for some USB dongle and/or equipment related that BMD sells, and I'd advice to not expose the entirety of VID 096e to every user on the system if further restricting to ATTR{idProduct}=="0201"
would suffice.
TL;DR: Nothing nefarious, just a too permissive udev rule. :-)
