I'm not sure how Munich "proved it was possible". The user community disliked it so much they are now switching back. They proved that it cost the city a lot of money in the transition (both times), and those costs have not

I feel like most of your questions were answered in the article. "The future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed." Your Winnebago exists today for the wealthy and privileged. If you're extremely rich,

While I understand NN is a hot topic in these past few months, I'm having a hard time understanding the connection here. Are we suggesting that there should be some sort of mandated cross-platform compatibility requirement for all clo

Given the ESP8266 brings a WiFi radio and 32bit microcontroller for < $2 on your BOM I think this sort of overkill is warranted. 433mhz provides no mechanism for link-layer security which seems irresponsible in this day and age.

I'm also a fan of the Sonoff products for random use cases around the house. One thing I think should be noted - you no longer need to solder in a UART header to get your own firmware on Sonoff devices with the SonOTA project [1]. Th

I think you've misunderstood the purpose of this site: they are documenting the existing IRC protocol as it is "generally" implemented today, as IRC is now a poorly-specified pile of hacks upon hacks. This project seems like

I don't think there's anything "wrong" with nearly any license. If your project has been written without including other open-source components, feel free to license it under whichever license you choose. Closed-source

I strongly recommend checking out Home Assistant, which is fully self-hosted and open-source. The Alexa integration requires the cloud (because that's where Alexa lives), but nearly everything else my system does is under my roof and

KeePass can do two-channel obfuscation where it mixes both clipboard and keystrokes, but both of these things are trivial to intercept.

by luma 9y ago
KeePass does the same thing by default, but all you've done is create a race condition. Clipboard changes can be picked up by any application that cares to listen.

by luma 9y ago
So now all anyone needs to do is watch your clipboard? I'm not arguing your approach as I use Keepass in the same way, but I also know it'd be pretty straightforward to snarf my creds if you were able to watch my clipboard.
