Do you operate a webserver on them with software service(s)?

I would consider WRT management self hosting, personally. Pi-hole also, but you aren’t running paperless-ngx, pihole, or HomeAssistant on your lightbulb/Shelby switch.

That’s because Brits would rather move to the literal other side of the globe where everything wants to kill you than learn a second language.

Yep, my brother in law has to work 100-110 hours per week in his residency, completely illegal, but I guess some bullshit “rite of passage” not to mention they made him move 3000km away with his newborn child.

I just got a fairphone 6. Removable battery!

What they don’t mention is most of the 60GHz sensors only have a range of 2m, and an angle range of 60°, meaning it is tough to get full room coverage for living rooms or more open floor plans where the 6-8m range of 24GHz helps a lot.

Finally finished Children of Time after 8 months (no time to read and feel guilty if I do). About to move on to a second book, but I am going to take a pit stop at a bad Noir detective novel that I got from a humble bundle “Quarry”.

It kind of does though because they aren’t destroying the environment, depriving people of water and electricity, and directly contributing to fascism to make their game.

(If the comment is in good faith then we all know they aren’t using a local AI model run on solar panels for the work)

Smart watch:

ZsWatch. They are developing the PPG sensor and I have used their PPG sensor hub driver for my own smart watch project. The guy heading it up is super knowledgable.

Healthy Pi Move this one seems interesting but maybe less open.

Also with GadgerBridge, you can have complete local control of many smart watches like Amazfit (Helio strap is my choice there for accuracy and whoop alternative. Bip3 is also very accurate) and a lot of Garmins and xiaomi.

Why do you say privacy and zero data retention? Has there been any proof of this? What we have learned from the last few years of investigations is companies lie and lie and lie through their teeth about anything regarding privacy.

Huh, interesting. I had the opposite experience.

I mean the tabs are nice, but then everything is just a clusterfuck of randomly made pages, no tags, bad search, and pretty much only a filesystem of organization (especially in a team). Liked the hand-written to OCR feature though.

I only found obsidian a bit ago, but getting into wikilinks with every association to another note makes everything very findable, which is the most important if you are looking for a note you made 6 months ago but only know tertiary info about it.

To each their own!

Wasn’t google DARPA tech that was given to PhD students for a PhD project?

It could be that a percentage of those just don’t want a ban on cheap, but still good, solar panels from China or Something?

The EU tends to make rules that only harm the working class when “divesting” from foreign markets while not bringing any of the manufacturing or replacement products into EU production and not incentivizing such. See: electric cars, electronic components, textile production, etc…

Corporations are allowed to do whatever they want, whenever they want. There might be a few tiny consequences 10-20 years later that shaves a couple months of profit down, but that is just the cost of business and massive profits for the rest of the time.

Hope this helps!

People want their decisions reinforced. Humans HATE when their time is wasted. I don’t know the comment, but I can speculate.

If you told a bunch of people that all of their hard work in isolating their TV was pretty much for nothing and it is quite possible for the TV to simply skip over the measures that they set. Then respond emotionally with “this person sounds paranoid, I did a good job, it will be good enough to protect me and my family” instead of reasoning through “would the company gain something from this that might cause them to implement this?”

I don’t know why people choose to bury their head in the sand, but also this technology isn’t CIA/NSA spy stuff. They aren’t building a new Amazon Sidewalk-esque mesh network. It is basic, cheap, single-point WiFi repeater technology that has been around for at least a decade and a half. Cheap, easy, profitable. Cars have been shown multiple times to do all of this too…

There will almost always be a hole above it in the plastic remote housing.

MEMs microphones are a silver or black rectangle and it has to have a small hole in the top of the package https://www.st.com/en/mems-and-sensors/mems-microphones.html

Generally you can also just put a dab of hot glue over the top of the hole and it won’t be able to hear shit, you don’t necessarily have to desolder it, but it is the most effective.

To the WiFi?

You are often forced to in order to set it up at all, the damage is already done if you disconnect it or VLAN quarantine it after that.

It doesn’t stop the TV from spying on you. GN just proved that it runs STT and records your conversations in plaintext and has the memory to store them for eternity. It also gets your location from scanning WiFi, Bluetooth, and any other devices in the band and geolocating based off of their data.

Then if you ever sell the TV, it will dump the data if they connect it, or somebody with the same brand smart TV moved in next door, it will use that TV’s hidden SSID hotspot to jump the airgap and dump all if its (likely time and position stamped) transcribed spying data to the servers.

Hardware fix is literally the only fix.

Also, here in Belgium, vegan Gouda is literally cheaper per kilo than actual, cheap Gouda.

But hey, we all are going hard right in the Benelux, so in a decade you guys will probably have to pay some private equity company a monthly subscription for them to hold the dikes closed for you lol. Or maybe they will just be so fucked and non-maintained through privatization that the will all fail anyway because it isn’t profitable enough

Or you know, actual upkeep of the property instead of doing absolutely nothing until it is literally falling apart like most landlords.

Hey hey hey,

They stand up against unions

They stand up against cheap, green energy

They stand up against human rights

They stand up against good working conditions

They stand up against good and affordable medical care

They stand up against required paid sick leave and maternity leave

They stand up against regulations to not poison people or exploit people quite so much

They stand up against anything that might slightly hurt short term profits.

They pump tens or hundreds of billions at the government to “stand up to them”. Just always, without exception, to pommel the working class and long term into the ground and sacrifice the long term for short term superficial gains.
