100% agree. ESPHome is by far the best use for ESP32s that I've found.

It sounds like it might be very useful for an attacker who already attained access via some other exploit. Imagine the ESP32 is being used as a wifi/bluetooth "modem" via a serial link to a host system (rather than the ESP32

One of the best conspiracy theories I have heard recently is that the CCP can use one of their reconnaissance balloons to instantly switch every device that has a Chinese radio chip into DDOS mode. If that were to happen it could plausibly

> "Depending on how Bluetooth stacks handle HCI commands on the device, remote exploitation of the backdoor might be possible via malicious firmware or rogue Bluetooth connections." Yeah this does not sound like a RCE.

I worked at deviantArt back in the early 2010s, they notably had a user agreement that did not claim any rights more than necessary, and it was revocable by the user without jumping through hoops. So it's not necessary to do things th

Yeah, it's probably two full days of collecting and recycling aluminum. (Not trying to belittle the homeless, I only mention this because it is how the homeless people in my old neighborhood would earn a little bit of cash. They don&#x

What about threatening to annex Canada and Greenland, eliminating birthright citizenship or expanding the Guantanamo Bay concentration camp?

Another factor, presumably, is that people at the low end of the income spectrum simply don't have any time to socialize because simply surviving takes almost all of their time and what is left is simply exhaustion. Many parts of the w

Solar panels are really not very expensive if you shop around. I got some 180 watt panels for $80 each recently.

It may be our only hope but I hear they play a lot of fox news on military bases. Everyone I know who are in the services voted for trump and with loyalists installed in top leadership I don't see who would organize any resistance let

Not sure how you have such optimism. It will take a lot more than luck to rebuild what's being destroyed and we don't have what it takes. [edit: Found a less condescending way to make my point.]

5 * 0 is still 0. They aren't listening.

Their actions are pretty clearly to consolidate power, replace everyone with loyalists, cut taxes on the rich, deport and depopulate the country and transfer assets to their associates. Once the economy is tanked they can go on a buying sp

Most politicians are doing all sorts of real estate deals on the side. That’s why there are all kinds of tax breaks and incentives for real estate. It’s not to encourage such activity, but rather to directly benefit themselves and their ass

Every person appointed by trump is completely unqualified to do their jobs and most of them are objectively and openly racist, sexist, authoritarian, vindictive, corrupt, and completely unconcerned with any law or decency.

An 8.0 would still cause massive devastation. Even if structures mostly survive there is the threat of fire and tsunami. This antenna tower looks like it is likely to survive though.

I hate to point this out it wouldn't be a very even fight.

I've struggled occasionally with trying to describe a similar concept without using that tainted term.

Agreed, however, they still try to claim it.

The Flickr team was really innovative and the industry as a whole learned a lot from them. Perhaps some of that wisdom has been lost on the next generation of developers and now it's being packaged and sold to them.

Republicans have lost all right to claim that they are fiscally conservative. With all the "cost cutting" they have been up to they should be able to cover everything without borrowing.

You can do that now, for sure, but I think it qualifies to call it AI. If you don't want to call it AI, that's fine too. It is indeed dangerous and already here. Making the autonomous programmed behavior of said tech more powerfu

Hyundai helpfully used a default signing key on their firmware, so at least some of their infotainment systems can be easily rooted. Details: https://xakcop.com/post/hyundai-hack-2/

It won't take long for all of the the other brands to follow suit. Hopefully jeep patented the idea.

So perhaps bullets would be the best store of value?
