I know this is a joke, but to just entertain it for a second, if they truly must have telemetry, then why not just have the device submit it anyway? Local API for control, then submit telemetry via the cloud-version of the API they use for

Authentication is something that does need to be solved, that's true, but the device is authenticating to the cloud already, I can promise you any bad implementations that would have happened in a local API is currently in the authenti

Quite often the keycards have sequential IDs which means you can increase or decrease the number a few times and find a colleagues card with higher or lower privileges than you.

> I understand where people don't trust the electronic ID card. Me too, the reason I trust it is that I understand the (really cool) cryptography behind it, and most don't.

There are even cooler ways of doing this, look up eIDAS and/or Zero-Knowledge Proofs. Basically, with the right cryptography, my app can prove my license is valid without revealing any PII. Or in the case of eIDAS, binary questions lik

Many people hear digitised and they think big brother is watching , I honestly don't know where they get it from because as you say the data we're talking about is already data the government keeps by necessity, that it's
219.
by rekoil 3y ago
From what I've heard about things like eIDAS there is considerable technical competence behind the specifications for these laws, I would expect there to be mechanisms for cryptographically secure offline validation.

To be fair there are endpoint protection solutions that provide phone (instance) information that can be used to decide if the particular device is secure enough to be allowed on the network.

Oh shit I must have missed that one, which one is that? The EU are fucking killing it these days actually. So happy to see it. We had a scare there with Chat Control 2.0 but thankfully it was shot down, besides that we've gotten GDPR,

Just the Pro, but this is my home network, it's just that I'm a Pro user hehe.

In this case Outlook isn't actually Outlook , it's the replacement for Windows Mail which they're now calling Outlook, not what you and I think of as Microsoft Outlook.

My network makes 3,401,347 queries in a month, that's more than 11x the limit, but regardless, the price is so reasonable that even if I didn't exceed it I couldn't really motivate not paying when the service is as good as it

NextDNS Pro is also €25/year. Super reasonable and ridiculously good product.

Ah, didn't know that. Is there a plan to enable more of it or has the EU already allocated 6 GHz to some other use?
227.
by rekoil 3y ago
But WiFi 6E is approved in Europe? I'm in Sweden and my U6-Enterprise is perfectly happy broadcasting in the 6GHz bands without any region hacks.
228.
by rekoil 3y ago
More than fine, the U6-Enterprise is an amazing device, but it's pretty expensive, the U7-Pro is actually cheaper (but has 3x 2x2 radios compared to the Enterprise which has 2x2/4x4/4x4 radios, 2.4/5/6 GHz respectiv

Yes, I know, that's what the second part of my comment was theorising about.

The fact that it was pulled out of the plane (and didn't stay snug in its owners pocket) suggests it was being used at the time, and thus unlocked. And yeah, I tend to set my phone to never lock at times, probably not while traveling I

Honestly hasn't been an issue to me. I'd also like to point out that that's really only true with cables designed to carry currents that can't be supported by J1772 anyway...

I'm just saying that if you want to reach a maximal audience it helps if your domain is older than 90 days as it isn't considered "new" then by some DNS providers.

by rekoil 3y ago
I know how to get access to the site, but blocking newly registered domains is a good security practice as it defeats a lot of scams.

90 days.

by rekoil 3y ago
Heads up, I have "block newly registered domains" configured in my NextDNS site, so I can't resolve flare.pub. For the future, might be good to register the domain a little while before the launch to avoid this.

No, I remember Serial Box, serials.ws, MegaGames, scene intros, etc. I just have trouble determining tone on the internet sometimes is all.

It's big, but it really doesn't matter in practice. Yes, J1772 looks nicer and is easier to handle, but it can't pump as much wattage as CCS2, and in the end that's watt (:P) matters.

Apple doesn't have predictable serial numbers anymore, they're all just random numbers corresponding to rows in a database. There's no way to generate them.

I have been hoping for them to go this route for a while now, maybe eventually they will.
