  • They look almost identical!

  • Maybe if they made cars people wanted at affordable prices this wouldn’t be an issue?

    The article keeps talking about China gaining ground but if these companies had gotten a jump on affordable EVs years ago instead of fighting emissions targets this wouldn’t have been an issue in the first place.

  • This might be overkill but I run an xrdp and just remote into it from any device. Tablet phone laptop etc with an rdp app. If you need it on the go you would also want something like tailscale or WireGuard as a vpn to access the computer while away from home

  • Assuming the drive writes normally a simple command like

    dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sdX

    Where sdX is the location of the drive should do the trick. Depending on drive time this may take a bit.

  • I haven’t heard of the pfas lawsuit, man I’m glad the first time I heard about these things was when the caffeine lawsuit started. Apparently the lawsuit is alleging high levels of 8 different pfas compounds.

  • This was a few drives ago but there was a point in time when most places were giving me digital copies of tax documents which I could upload to tax prep software but things like TurboTax didn’t have an auto import. So you’d need to download them then re-upload them to the correct service. Now they do it automatically so the only thing that would match that now now is receipts for expenses/donations and what not that I need to keep track of for manual entry.

  • I started encrypting once I moved to having a decent number of solid state drives as the tech can theoretically leave blocks unerased once they go bad. Before that my primary risk factor was at end of life recycling which I usually did early so I wasn’t overly concerned about tax documents/passwords etc being left as I’d use dd to write over the platters prior to recycling.

  • I really miss Ubuntu from around that era, was by far the easiest thing to get up and running!

  • Vista was what pushed me to Linux originally, and I still haven’t gone back!

  • I mostly understand how these fuses prevent say downgrading firmware, but could t a Chinese firm looking to clone one of these also just clone the number of blow. Fuses equally trivially if the goal is just an also working device with stock firmware?

  • The security researcher, LimitedResults, coordinated disclosure with Espressif on their advisory and details of the exploit. The attack works against eFuse, a one-time programmable memory where data can be burned to the device.

    By burning a payload into the device’s eFuse, no software update can ever reset the fuse and the chip must be physically replaced or the device discarded. A key risk is that the attack does not fully replace the firmware, so the device may appear to work as normal.

    Why does a random esp32 chip need efuses in the first place??

  • My parents liked that show, and they still don’t believe in global warming. I think the only thing they remember was the line “we need another Timmy!”

    They’ve also told me they don’t want socialized healthcare/any reform because they fully believe others not receiving care is necessary for them to receive good care so…you know they aren’t exactly individuals concerned about anyone but themselves at this exact second.

  • The temperature difference was the worst for winter time for me (261-187 now)! I’m in layers inside the house and barely warm.

  • Because they want the benefits of a civilized society but think they shouldn’t have to pay for them

  • Pretty much every country you’d think of will refuse to accept immigration applicants who aren’t in essentially perfect health.

  • Suuuuuurrreeeeee. You totally know who he is but won’t name him.

  • Seemed like he got a decent chunk of the town into the cult too.
