Potting Grrrr. My fancy track lighting has been potted. It sucks because absolutely no place (even China) sells the 48v LED driver with the odd body shape to bypass the internal mounting screws, and the potting means I can’t access the board to desolder a resostor or something
Totally a non issue unless a government arrested somebody with the intent to gain their key because : "The attacks require about $11,000 worth of equipment and a sophisticated understanding of electrical and cryptographic engineering. "
Use of a VPN can be detected by ISP inspection, they then probably had other survellance on why he was VPNing out, or the Influencer had another follower that was a plant and collected a list of thr followers
That one smart home brand that went bust and nobody could turn on/off lights etc. LOL. Thankful some selfhoster types came to the rescue amd setup an alternate server. It is why I “flashed” my switches to be local hosted and never go to web, and just use homeassistant as the server
Right, but i was commenting about educating your kids about the pitfalls of social media, like you said. My adult children are teachers and they see social media is destroying kids even with education about it…their brains can’t stop even if they know the consequences, especially because it is psychologically tailored to engage them more and more
I know some amazing parents that have super open communication and excellent teaching moments with their kids, they still fell into the social media morass…because friends (and teenage brain) are a heavy influence even with a safe supportive home
People with too much time. My wife had a busy kid drop off/pickup / work schedule. If she was done work early she would park a block away from school and sleep in the car till dismissal time…some Karen came out complaining she can’t sleep in her car and needed to leave. lol
Oh I totally agree with protecting privacy, I was just explaining why they may want app use…because the tech is there for 3d use…not in the app persay but via cloud processing. More than likely it makes their job easy since photos go into the database with claim number and location data all filled in without them doing any labour
Some of those type apps build a 3d image from multiple photos, it helps get a full assessment of damage and location. There used to be a great free one on android, but the company eventually moved it to a corporate website paid service. I was able to take several rounds of photos of my salad bowl, it sent it to the cloud to be processed then you get a 3d colourized STL file back that you can bring into CAD etc. the detail of the lettuce waa amazing. This was before LIDAR on cellphones too
It is OK, it is just doesn’t do what a highly established pro CAD tool does. if you are used to the pro tools you recognize what is missing and it makes the workflow frustrating and tedious. You can still accomplish your goal in freeCAD, just takes longer and changes don’t auto cascade through to your GCode, etc
FreeCad is just OK, but it doesn’t do what pro CAD tools do. I say that as a person that truly believes in opensource, but has also tried all major CAD tools since 1991 onward. There is so much money behind a pro tool, that the freeCads of the world can’t compete
Our school had a buzzer, the office anawers the intercom, you tell them the emergency and they arrange everything. Cell phones really arent needed unless you are out on a field trip maybe
Depends how they use chatgpt, if they use it tlfor content that can be troublesome, but here its being used as a format tool. You copy some previous test and ask it to reorder the numbered questions ( to precent class before giving the AACDBA series of answers) or use to copy paste in a large test and tell it to strip out every other quesotion, renumber and replace body text with double line spacing. For stuff like that it is a godsend.
There are opensource versions, I tried a selfhosted chatgpt-like one, it wasn’t quite as good…you could still tell it was a computer responding…although technically it isn’t AI
But then it wouldn’t be funny on the interwebs
Reread your title dipshift
Containers are great to keep OS separate from apps, but VPN seems pretty integral to OS, so I don’t see an issue using rpm-ostree. Containers often prove challenging because of not being able to get permission or share data between apps ( on purpose )
Lol. It is. Before my first coffee.
Sorry I was thinking of when you have yubikey setup with PIN code for access. But yeah, I guess the attack vector is clandestine theft and replace.
