Most of the blog post was about reverse engineering the control protocol and automating the unit. The same principles could be applied to other A/C units, like window units that are ubiquitous in many parts of the US. It is not specifi

It doesn't pass DKIM. But the fact that it's sent through Sendgrid's platform gives the e-mail credibility. Because no one expects Sendgrid to allow random customers to set e-mail (not necessarily envelope) from address to @s

Same -- I got several e-mails with subject "The following services failed to auto-renew and are about to expire" that I almost believed were real because they came from an actual sendgrid server (wrqvpkzw.outbound-mail.sendgrid.ne

He is acting within the law, which is called the IEEPA and was passed by the legislative branch.

It is not contradictory at all. The parent comment stated that Congress has the power to pass the laws, which give the president the power to counter unfair trade practices. It is how the U.S. government (and most forms of democratic govern

You're right in that (at least under IEEPA) the executive order doesn't seem to have the authority to ban free usage of these apps. In fact it also excludes regulation of "the importation from any country, or the exportation

The IEEPA is literally a law. (Also, PRC laws are vague/broad and often applied arbitrarily, just look at the new Hong Kong security law. Not saying this isn't true for US laws, but it's disingenuous to point at the laws when

I think most likely Apple and Google will have to remove TikTok and WeChat from the app store in U.S. If you install manually on Android you would probably be able to continue to use it. The executive order only bans transactions (since tha

When the laws are vague and broad and applied arbitrarily, they are basically the same as American laws like the IEEPA which give Trump the power to ban those companies. By the same argument, you may not agree with IEEPA but it exists and B

> Companies are banned in China for not following Chinese laws or directives. Sure, but by that same argument, this executive order bans ByteDance/Tencent under American laws and directives (specifically, the International Emergency

Sounds like these 1970s laws were actually a Congressional overhaul of earlier legislation, see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Emergency_Econom...

I don't see anything about misinformation or the election in the executive orders [1, 2]. It talks about data collection, e.g. "potentially allowing China to track the locations of Federal employees and contractors, build dossiers

Per [1] it seems national security letters are generally served in person by e.g. an FBI agent. So I don't think phishing by foreign governments is likely, unless the foreign government sends spies dressed as U.S. FBI/NSA/CIA

Re "no judicial review": that is one of the big concerns about national security letters though, the lack of judicial review; I read the Wikipedia page you linked and it says, even after the Doe v. Ashcroft case, "there is st

Presumably there is some travel agent with access to the data. I think it's concerning that one company maintains so much information, but in terms of government access, if the FBI is going to go through the trouble of getting a court-

In this case, per the order [1] referenced in the article, this is a normal writ, and does not seem to have anything to do with national security or national security letters. It is also very specific, asking for records on one person for a

Facebook uses OpenStreetMap for many map displays so they may have an incentive to improve OSM and continue maintaining the good relationship between Mapillary and OSM. Facebook has contributed tools to OSM before, e.g. the RapiD editor [1]

I haven't heard this term before, but I'm not sure it is a "rob and duplicate" if they are targeting a market segment that Slack never advertised towards nor was really designed for. Seems more like refreshing Slack for
