And how often does that happen?

That sounds like an app-level (D)DoS, which is generally something you can mitigate yourself.

Plenty of ways to leak the original server IP address if it isn't really well hardened against that (and most aren't).

by q3k 11mo ago
Just accept that a DDoS might happen and that there's nothing you can do about it. It's fine, it's just how the Internet works.

It's just some stickers on a piece of equipment, why are you making this so complicated?

If you need to buy laptop stickers you're doing it wrong. (I'm not talking about ordering a batch of your own design here to share it with friends and at events)

The review doesn't guard against malicious code. You can slip through anything you want, just don't trigger the functionality during review and you're golden. People have been doing that for private framework calls since fore

The SEM was cheaper than an optical microscope or a fume hood though :). (also I don't recommend a SEM in the first post, a cheapo USB 'microscope' will do, I just happen to have had SEM images on hand)

That's a super interesting idea! I'll also have to try that.

Interesting, most of the counterfeits that affect me (eg. FTDI, STM32 clones) have been just straight up clones developed from scratch, not excess inventory / ghost shifts / packaged rejects. I guess it might be a digital/mix

Well, that's the point of the experiment, to figure out if it's a clone or a reject :).

Should be easy to compare - sand down both the cheapo and a legit one (with a similar datecode) with fine sandpaper, clean with isoprop and shove under an optical microscope - you can then tell how similar/dissimilar the dies are, you

Given my experience with micropython's reliability... no thanks. (in general actively using a heap in a constrained environment is just asking for trouble... fragmentation _will_ get you!)

Also add to this that they tend to randomly (soft-)EOL products. I've already been bitten by this twice (first by their early CCTV systems, then by their EdgeRouter series of devices). Don't buy Ubnt unless you're ready to re

One way they could do this is grant you a patent license only for some kinds of use. (and eg. make sure their products are useless without some patent license for some software driver or algorithm)
