> Unfortunately it’s people like yourself who implement shadow IT that end up forcing security and infra teams to add those annoying bureaucratic hurdles to force people in line. It's because I still need to do my job. And I am also

Yes! Though on Android you need the app KeePassDX to read them, I was mistaken about the name.

Yes you can do that with Bitwarden or KeepassXC. Not sure if either works on iOS, I don't use that but they work on desktop and Android (you use KeepassDX there to read them).

Yes here they always provided one. And yes an app gives a tracker much more capability especially on Android.

Frigate is pretty cool if you need motion detection. If you don't it's a bit wasteful because it still keeps the whole decoding pipeline active. I've switched to LightNVR that doesn't do that. I have enough alarm sensors

The tapo cameras do this on cam. They can even report it to the NVR system, completely local with ONVIF. Nest does it in the cloud. Obviously it's more capable but it also means Google grabs all your video: https://support.

Shifting the balance towards security doesn't always improve the overall security stance. What you get is people getting sick of all the stupid hurdles and working around it. Using shadow IT. I find myself doing that too. For example,

An insider threat actor can just do that without booking the desk. They just go in on a quiet day and sit down, nobody checks whether a desk is booked unless they themselves need to sit there.

Well that's why they can sync between devices. I don't really see the problem. Even if you don't like to rely on big tech (google/apple), I don't either, there are many options now for full FOSS implementations like

Indeed I absolutely am. I don't believe in this model where we have to trust some big commercial party for our security and privacy. And they abuse this all the time, both Google and iOS. The problem is though that I have no choice. iO

Every bank here had that. Now they all require apps. For the banks I understand. Now they don't have to supply millions of code calculator devices. And they force their apps which they can stuff full of tracking to mine their customers

It's already hard enough that we can't mess with apps' internal storage without rooting IMO. It's my device. I should be able to inspect what every app is collecting about me. Just like I can on windows. IMO the user sho

If it's a bug then the bug needs to be fixed. If the auth process works as intended it's hard enough to make it not something you could do by accident.

I don't think the developers are bad, the problem are the top dogs that are telling them what to do.

I think the OP means that calling it sideloading gives it a sneaky dark connotation which it doesn't deserve because installing software is simply a normal thing for a user to do. It's Google that's branding it as such becaus

They're better in some ways. They don't rely on a secret with low entropy which is really brute forceable. They can't be used on a phishing site because the URL is part of the secret. Even when you authenticate to a fake site

Yes but the balance has shifted a lot. I remember working at a major company where important systems had an admin password of "<company name>123". That was stupid. I asked to change it but the answer was no because too many

Exactly. At work I now have to MFA and type a random code every time I want to book a desk. It kills the session after 30 minutes. It's ridiculous. If an attacker ever got hold of it, they could... book a desk at that shitty office for

It's to protect the market dominance of US providers of course, the security concerns are just an excuse.

Hell yes and even tablets. I keep everything. Usually I use it so long it's not worth selling it anymore anyway. The problem is even old tablets are often too slow to use for something as simple as home automation control because home

By the way the diode option is a decent one too, I went for this option because I had many 12V PSUs around, and due to the efficiency of the converter I can use ones with pretty low amperage. But if you have a decent 5V supply using a simpl

It's not really. I've had a test bench with smartphones at work with open smartphone test farm and about 50% of them cracked their cases open after a year or two. It is not a joke. It really happens. None of them actually got to t

Yes that's what I do too! I didn't know that blogpost but I generally replace the battery with a DC-DC converter module from Ali. You can even tune the voltage and see the indicator change the battery charge level. I put them arou

It is very good except the UI could really use some love IMO. I use it on all my kindles but it really took some doing to get there in terms of getting comfortable with using it.

Yes but how do they make sure the person receiving the passport is the right one? That's why we have to do both in person.

It's not just movies. These are general media concerns. Which can affect politics a lot, look at fox as an example.

Yeah I know MySQL started out as the "poor man's" lightweight alternative to Postgres. But it always worked well for me. Like I said I got used to its quirks. I'm just surprised reading from this article that postgres ha

I'm really not surprised. The mini is sooo cute. I'd have got one myself but iOS doesn't work for me.. I have several things I need on a mobile phone that are not available on iOS. For me a phone is really an outside the hous

Good question. I think it's because I just rolled into it. It was not really a conscious decision and after a while I got used to its quirks. And it got significantly better over time too of course.
