Hi!

I'm not sure you're subscribed to the list so I'm putting you in copy now.

Indeed. Etcher still mentions "resin.io" in its main interface but the
installation on macOS now mentions "balena".

I created this ticket to track this on our side:

https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/16330

We'll keep updating the version of Etcher that we serve from our
website. But serving it from tails.boum.org makes it easier for us to
track which version of Etcher people are using when installing Tails.

It also avoids having to trust GitHub or Balena to serve a good download
even when they see you coming from tails.boum.org :)
