I think the real question is "what the hell IoT is doing on a globally-routable network?" Put it on an isolated VLAN with no Internet connectivity. Or a minimal connectivity only to what's absolutely necessary (e.g. I haven&#

It shouldn’t, but we live in a world where cheapest products that just barely work overwhelmingly win the market (most obvious proof is IoT, but it applies to just about everything else). General consumer market doesn’t care about proper de

I'm skeptical about working out with a headset, at all. There are probably some good use cases, but I'm just mentally going through the stuff I'm doing at a gym, and I think that typically a headset would be either a hazard o

I don't think it's in the same way. I see "we licensed some software to ASUS, Lenovo and Microsoft (and may license to others - serious inquiries only)", not "we are releasing something under a free software license

Typically frames are made very light, so they won't make too much pressure on one's ears and nose. Unless someone runs a fiber to a frame, then keep the rest in a backpack or belt bag or something, I doubt it's physically pos

"Opening" what? I can't think of anything here that even remotely resembles opening something to a public or donating a project to any foundation. They realized they have an asset, and they made some money by licensing it. Sa

Not to devalue their engineering departments, but I really don't remember any innovations in the software space from ASUS, Lenovo or alike hardware vendors. To me they're all essentially the same stuff, with different kind of ju

Which sucks, because I hoped there would be a way to use HSMs in browser for {en,de}cryption. A lot of those devices aren't just for FIDO, they have PKCS#11 and OpenPGP. WebAuthn/U2F is not designed for this. As it usually happens

Whit AWS you probably have to hire a decent engineer who knows how to build stuff the right way (never touch the dashboards, do all through well-tested, declarative, repeatable IaaC, set up proper replication and backups, preemptively simul

Replication and reads can be scaled with something like Patroni or even a DIY replication setup (if one knows what they’re doing, of course), but writes are difficult.

The connection worked reliably for me, and it kept my drinks hot for a while as promised, but ultimately it was left catching dust as it always needed special treatment so - being a lazy ass - I just went with the normal mugs and re-heating

The problem is that "less secure" is not exactly meaningful without a lot of clarifications. I'm no security expert, but I know that security is certainly not a linear, at the very least it's some multi-dimensional thing

That’s a hostile intelligence scenario, right? What I wanted to say is that, I, in particular, really don’t care if it is a human trying to harm me, or a machine. Both of those scenarios are so unfavorable, I really don’t see a point in hav

Ah, sorry. “Conquering” as having full control over it, so it never comes on its own terms. Or as close to that as physically possible.

Same here. 16 stays so far (most long-term, 1+ months), so not much, but all with zero issues. Hosts usually ask to do the most basic stuff - check that everything is closed and turned off, sometimes take the trash out, and possibly collect

I don't get why things like CGMs require a prescription. It's just a kind of a wearable sensor. While typically only a diabetic person would need it, I fail to see any harm for any adult human if they get curious and want to stick

This penalizes unaware pre-existing car owners. Not only they got a crappy car, they now have to pay more for it - all because the vendor was sloppy. Doesn’t seem fair to me. The responsible party should be the automaker that built or insta
