Not sure what to make of this, they’ve got the potential to put a million qubits on a chip, but there’s only 8…

And others have had quantum computers for a while now… so… 🤷🏼‍♂️

Similar story here, Bose QC whilst the house next door was (basically) being demolished… I just found the headphones ate batteries faster.

I sometimes find I’m just working with the headphones on and whatever I was listening to had stopped ages ago.

by blocking everyday sounds such as cars beeping, there is a possibility the brain can “forget” to filter out the noise.

Also growing up in the quiet countryside, I can say that you do not “forget” to hear sounds like cars… it’s definitely the everyday background noise that’s the problem.

It all works fine for me with ad/ tracking blockers, browser based blockers, noscript, ublock origin, etc, even geoip blocking for anything inbound

I guess I use different sites…

Yep, totally agree - it’s just getting awareness up.

When I start explaining this to friends & family they give me the same blank look that I gave them when they talk about nutrition & exercise…

Presuming you can put OpenWRT on it, it’ll be fine as a single box

IMHO, I just prefer having it all as separates and then fix / change / upgrade parts as I go - but I soon run out of places to hide them

Is the ISP supplied box also your wifi?

If not, IMHO I’d use the ISP equipment as a pass-through modem (if possible on that model?) and have a separate OpenWRT / pfSense firewall do all the heavy lifting for DHCP, DNS, ad blocking, etc

Depends if you’d then need another WAP, of course

There are already multiple cases of Russian trawlers breaking cables¸ gas pipelines, etc.

Thanks, I was following this thread and wanted to say the same thing

I’ve kept updating shops that change, new houses, parking, etc… it’s great. I even used it on vacation (when the SO wasn’t looking)

My global rank is #1554 and ~#130ish in my local country, but #12 in another country I barely visit, so it shows where more people should complain less support more.

Don’t point at the HQs, point at their mansions / golf courses / private islands

I’m in the same boat: can’t hear any difference.

But, I have GBs of 320k MP3s… is it worth converting to Ogg ?

Feel free to ask over at [email protected] too.

But to echo some other comments here, whatever you do, keep it simple and ensure a botched HA update doesn’t freeze / cook you by using standard components as a backup / failsafe

Also consider outside your home too - either permantly VPNing back through your home network, or (ie for Android) Tracker Control, which will block most ad / sdk / geo trackers that it knows about.

Updated my NAS recently and Immich’s database stopped working due to some PostgreSQL update that needs something changed manually, so I need to get my head around that.

Also trying to get a tablet to run as a 2nd satellite for HomeAssistant voice commands and no matter what I do, only the 1st one responds to wakeword… but I tend to give up after everyone’s gone to bed as I’m literally in a room on my own talking to myself…

I smell politics here over ethical hacking

Normally, when vulnerabilities are found, the responsible steps are to disclose to the site owner first before waiting for them to resolve it (ie 90 days).

I didn’t see that mentioned in Wiz’s article - which is showing their data & links to the vulnerabilities.

You make some good points, but may I say from a single viewpoint.

I can’t physically charge a car at home.

I work from home and travel to customers - most are hours away and I (usually) can’t charge at their office.

Hence, I don’t have an electric car and my next purchase will probably be a self-charging hybrid because I need to recharge / refuel on the journey - hence quickly.

So, in my case, the only way I can go full-electric is with a short charge (/ battery swap) at the places that currently sell fossil fuel, which are becoming battery charging stations (they already have AC mains, so no new infrastructure required).

Including cars.

Drive in, swap non-proprietary batteries with an autoloader, drive out. Done.

Whatever you choose, consider a donation to the devs, that’s what helps prevent these apps from dying

Or Syncthing…

Use another platform instead?

I don’t want WhatsApp & I avoid the 'stores, so it’s F-Droid options for me…

Any opinions on Jami?

I’m also seeing XMPP mentioned in the comments, so I might look at that a bit more…
