I'm in the same position, and I've been considering wading into the misery that is Android app development just long enough to add a setting to move the action bar to the bottom of the screen. I've also been considering switc

While technically true, in most real life situations, this is not possible to exploit. If the speakers have an amplifier in line with them, they will not work in reverse. If the speakers are built in to a laptop, the driver circuitry will n

Newpipe works fine, though the version from the native F-Droid repos tends to lag behind. There is an alternate repo from the devs that updates more quickly: https://newpipe.net/blog/announcement/f-droid/pinne

Possibly it's because initscripts were such a painful experience that they weren't used as extensively. I find myself making systemd units often for small things that I wouldn't have wanted to write a whole initscript for. Ju

Wow, that's in the official docs? I do this all the time, but I always thought of it as a janky workaround.

In that case, it's not really CAN, it's more like CAN-tranceiver-control-signals. That may work, but would realistically be limited to only two devices, at which point it probably makes more sense to just use a protocol that'

CAN uses a dominant/recessive transmission method, similar to I2C. The termination resistors are absolutely required, as they are what drive the bus back to the recessive state. Perhaps you were thinking of RS-485, which actively drive

I disagree that the only viable enforcement is preemptive blocking. Plenty of offenses in the physical world only have after-the-fact punishments. There aren't spike strips physically preventing you from parking in the red zone.

That sounds like a fantastic ideal to strive for, even if it's not realistic in all scenarios.

Except in no way is that "for free." You're absolutely paying for it, just in the form of a percentage markup forever.

In my experience, a non-standard port reduces the number of brute force attempts, but it doesn't eliminate them. I just do a simple rate limit on syn packets to the port and use SSH keys for auth, and that feels like plenty of security

Your eyes and a bright flashlight? Any hidden camera will need a translucent window with a lens behind it, and they're not that hard to spot once you know what you're looking for.

I'd argue it's not really DRM, it's more like device identification. Nearly all modern laptop power supplies do this in some way. HP and Lenovo ones use a resistor on the extra pin, while Dell has put a 1-wire memory chip. Th

Which would not result in an instant 0% -> 100% reading. One would expect a gradual slope from 0% to, say, 30%, then a sharp increase to 100% some tens or hundreds of milliseconds later.

Check out uMatrix. I used to use RP, but switched to uM because it gives even better fine-grain controls.
