Israel is sowing the seeds of revenge in the Palestinian population.

The list of desperate persons that don't have anything to lose anymore is growing rapidly

If you make a backup with a tool like Borg that creates encrypted archives, then using AWS S3 glacier is the cheapest.

What's bad about it: if you ever need those files again, it's going to be VERY expensive to download them again, so it has to be treated as the "what if a nuke hits my city and all the local and off-site backups are vaporized" solution

Also: it's not recommended to directly host plain files, they need to be in an archive format with big chunks, as the API calls that are used to list them during sync are counted in a very expensive way

The main advantage of using custom silicon is that you can decide the naming and so you deceive users that the minor 0.1 update is a full generation advance

Kinda like I saw someone saying "apple skipped A17 for the iPhone 16 and gave the faster A18" - they're in charge of the naming and they can easily decide that A18 = A17

Technically, yes, but I'm a bit lazy. If I can overengineer a workaround...

[-] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 2 points 4 days ago

Yes my cylinder isn't compatible, it won't allow inserting a key from the other side. But I saw they sell a replacement one for 100 euro

Not being internet connected isn't the end of the world, but that hidden expensive in-app purchase is really scammy because you would only notice that after you bought the device, after installation and probably even after the return window. All YouTube reviewers got the pro model, which doesn't have this artificial limitation. If I didn't watch that video, I would noticed that after years (I don't have enough matter/thread devices to justify the purchase of a hub yet)

And also the door opening sensor isn't included in the box but of course YouTube reviewers are showing it as part of the kit because they got all included. And the product page doesn't specify that explicitly.

Searched the user manual in PDF to learn more about the product, it's 4 sentences that explain absolutely nothing

So in the end I wanted the base model over the pro because for me having 4 AAs instead of a "proprietary" battery pack (4 AAs in a custom plastic shell) is much better and giving direct full internet access to the door lock via WiFi is too scary... but between the missing opening sensor, the IAP, the build quality, I think I will choose another one

[-] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 2 points 4 days ago

Nice this looks compatibile, except for the open sensor, my door has an ultra thick frame and it's only possible to install it at 12 cm, while the guide says 4 cm max. Does it really need it?

When you close it, it's not possible* to open it again from outside

* = only the triangular piece engages, so a professional can unlock it from outside by using a thin sheet of steel

I was accidentally locked out of home again, and I had to call a professional to open the lock.

But if someone was home, they could have just turned the knob of the door from inside. There's a device that can do that? It needs to do 3 full turns and it requires a bit of force to do that (armored door with iron bars that slide in every direction, so it has a big inertia to start)

I saw a ready solution on a store, the iseo x1r, but that costs 1000 euro + another 200 for the gateway (not mandatory but otherwise it uses proprietary Bluetooth protocol and so it can't talk with HA

I set garage via docker and it was not impossibly hard.

Main problem is that there isn't an admin panel and you can't login to the docker container via docker exec, so you have to write some python (or other language of your choice) to send requests to the API port to:

  1. Set the layout of your server
  2. Create an user
  3. Create a bucket
  4. Assign that bucket to your user

Technically, it still is illegal to sell electronics without CE certification

Although a headline like "3 cubic meters of worthless famiclones have been seized" isn't as strong

[-] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 19 points 5 days ago

a figure which includes the value of the consoles and hundreds of licenses for the pirated programs.

So it's just 12k consoles with 4000 pirated ROMs inside

Actual value is €300k, not 50 millions

[-] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 10 points 5 days ago

Not having a certification doesn't mean it's not compliant.

It's probably compliant, but they didn't want to pay €50k to get it certified

No matter on which country the iot device it's made, giving internet access to them in military bases is madness. IOT must be on a separate VLAN without any internet access. No exceptions, they're usually running buggy firmware based on ancient Linux versions and no updates are ever released or installed. They're exploitable time bombs

Many users bought Resident evil for iOS because it was working offline. Perfect for long trips. But a new update adds a mandatory DRM online check at start-up.

I wrote bought, but actually the word is rented. One day Capcom stops updating the games (and this is 100% guaranteed) and a few years later the "owner" gets "This app needs to be updated to run on this iPhone"

Meanwhile, people who pirated a cracked ipa, don't get any issue in playing the game offline. DRM exclusively hurts the paying customers.

They made millions thanks to crypto bros buying the Solana phone (rebranded osom with custom ROM), claiming the free shit coins, then sending it to e-waste.

Unfortunately those millions weren't invested in new products but to fund the CEO lifestyle.

I love how the endgame was to trying getting acquired by HP for billions but that failed.

Everyone's (also humane ai pin) trying to get acquired by HP, the ultimate bagholder, expert in overvaluing failed startups

The share is higher than you would expect because they include all apple devices in them because the apple soc is capable of running ai. Of course who's buying a MacBook it's not doing it because "it's an AI PC". Should have included all gaming PCs then...

The report says Lenovo ai PC shipments went up 228% last quarter. Uh... They put on sale their copilot+ devices on the last week of Q2, then of course at the end of Q3 you have such high percentage. They could have said "10000000000000000000000% yoy increase"

No, it's not phishing, it's legit, the header match with google and the link goes to https://accounts.google.com/AccountChooser/signinchooser?continue=https%3A%2F%2Fadmin.google.com%2Fac%2Fac%2Falert%2Fdetails%3FalertId%3D3...

Why not just write the message there instead of letting me login to watch the important notification?????????????????

Apparently xitter saw an access from Russia (even if it's blocked by the government) and had no problem in giving full access to change immediately the password, disable 2fa and start scamming followers.

It seems an easy attack to fix IMHO: if access from Russia (or a country from the other part of the world) on a business account that always tweet from the same place, then deny access even with valid stolen session cookies

Can you notice that it's a bit leaning to the right?

One day many years ago I had too many drinks and being stupid and naive and I bought adobe cs5. I still use it on the same computer I installed it a decade ago. Activated and installed only once. Today they revoked the access to it. Clicking the link they say "revoked because purchased from an untrustworthy reseller"

Yeah... untrustworthy reseller, look at the invoice and see who sold&shipped that physical copy...

sold by adobe themselves

Contacted support, they said that they won't do anything about it because it's EOL.

Moral of the story: don't do like me. If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing. Never give your money to Adobe.

In the browser, i didn't login in the google account, and I didn't accept the cookies on that site. Using privacybadger that supposedly should block the 3rd party spyware like that

Wow, that's awesome! I was very sad without the clickbait articles. I was staring at Firefox thinking "i wish it had a cluttered start page with clickbait articles and sponsored content like MS Edge" - and then with this new update the devs nailed it! Thanks!

That's really perfect!

(it's a tablet in a smartphone form factor, it doesn't have cellular connectivity)

For reference, android 14 was announced 6 months before the launch of this device.

It's a bit surprising that Google still allows device certification with such ancient, unsupported and vulnerable OS.

All the marketing materials don't say which CPU it's using except "Qualcomm octa core CPU" - that means nothing as the description could apply to the Snapdragon 415, which was a low end slow system on a chip released ten years ago. Maybe it could explain why they're using an ancient version of Android - the soc that they're using it's a leftover found in some warehouse and it's already unsupported by the manufacturer; they're forced to use android 11.
