Apple's got one, so does Google, and Microsoft. They're common tools for scam baiters tracking down call centres and individual scammers. Pretty effective actually.

Darkassassin07 , 1 month ago

Certainly. I'm not saying they're a good thing; just lending credence to their existence.

Though I'll note; to use them you need access to the wifi radio carried by the individual you're tracking. Ie; you've already hacked their device.

Why would you ever be buying a sim card seprate from the carrier servicing it...?

Honestly asking, that's incredibly unusual to me. Where I live, the mobile carrier always provides the sim card. Usually free with a monthly phone plan, or as a part of a pre-paid plan. (pre-paid you can usually buy from a corner store like seven eleven. monthly you'll actually have to visit their store/mall booth)

You're not alone on the road.

It's incredibly unlikely that you'd be in such a bad accident that you couldn't call for help; while simultaneously being isolated from the public to the point nobody saw your accident and started calling ems/police before you could.

That's not to say it doesn't happen; but I definitely wouldn't be worried about it.

As in; when this was written...

I will say; it's nice they state who paid for it. That's better than just the generic 'sponsored' label.

Right now Meta has the best VR / AR that is easily accessible.

Too bad the company is absolute garbage. I'm not even willing to look at their 'products' anymore.

Particularly with articles like this around:

DNS based blocking only works for regular DNS requests.

At this point, any app that wanted to bypass that could use DoH/DoT+ECH to completely bypass your DNS and thus the blocking it provides. With these tools, all you'd see is an outgoing TLS connection to a remote IP; all other data is encrypted.

Darkassassin07 , 2 months ago

If this is how you treat/speak to people; we're far better off without you.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Darkassassin07 , 2 months ago

But what's not encrypted by either is the Server Name Indicator or SNI, ie: the initial request to a webserver stating which host you're trying to reach at that IP, before establishing the TLS connection, contains the domain you'd requested via DoH/DoT, in plaintext.

Darkassassin07 , 2 months ago

It will prevent the ISP from snooping on, or tampering with, the DNS request. However when you go to use the IP you've retrieved via DoH/DoT; your first request establishing a TLS connection to that IP will contain an unencrypted SNI which states the domain you are trying to use. This can be snooped on by your ISP.

Darkassassin07 , 2 months ago

True. Known as Encrypted Client Hello now, as part of TLS1.3.

It seems many more browsers support it than last I'd looked. I'm curious to see how much of the general web has adopted support for it onnthe server side. I'll have to look into that more, and see what it'll take to setup for self-hosting.

Darkassassin07 , 2 months ago

Docker: right where you chose to put it.

Problem?

Lmao, because they've been so successful with browsers...

The charge ports on non-Teslas, meanwhile, are also in a different spot on the vehicle, meaning they may have to park parallel to a Supercharger, taking up two spots. That's what happened here; "I had no choice but to park in a way that blocks two stalls," according to the Rivian driver.

Darkassassin07 , 2 months ago

Definitely not.

Mostly vehicles, but they're a cheap and common choice for hobby electronics too.

According to The Information, 700 out of 1,000 Just Walk Out sales required human reviewers as of 2022. This widely missed Amazon’s internal goals of reaching less than 50 reviews per 1,000 sales.

Lmao.

Darkassassin07 , 2 months ago

Probably the '1000 people in india' reviewing that footage.

The rest of the articles linked in the above one are pay walled and I don't care enough to dig further.

Darkassassin07 , 2 months ago

Scanners in baskets/carts is what they are replacing this with.

The 'Just Walk Out' system was as the name implies; grab product and leave. No scanners, no checkout, no cashiers; just cameras watching you shop, and a heavy implication that that video is primarily watched by AI to determine your purchases. AFAIK the only scanners were to read a qr code on entry to associate you with your amazon account; the rest is hands off. Or at least that's what it's supposed to be. Seems there's a lot more labour under the hood than the advertising said. Shocker.

Some products — like devices powered by combustion engines, medical equipment, farming equipment, HVAC equipment, video game consoles, and energy storage systems — are excluded from Oregon’s rules entirely.

It's interesting to me that Game Consoles get an exception... Not sure whats up there, other than straight up bribery lobbying.

HVAC makes sense when you consider environmental concerns (some refrigerants are really terrible pollutants).

Medical equipment, particularly equipment in public health care should be held to high standards. Authorized, properly trained repair; peoples lives depend on it.

Energy storage when attached to public infrastructure (you back-feeding the grid) can be a saftey concern for workers and the supply/load needs to be balanced to prevent damaging that infrastructure and other private equipment attached to it. Not sure preventing repair is the right move here; you can still buy and install new without oversight. Perhaps it's again a saftey concern (for the person performing repair).

Vehicles, farming or otherwise, I'm on the fence about; there's an argument to be made for public saftey/roadworthness, but I'm not sure that's enough of an argument to prevent home-repair. Again seems more to do with lobbying than anything else.

Darkassassin07 , 3 months ago

Oh definitely.

Darkassassin07 , 3 months ago

It's always been a concern; just not enough of one to explicitly forbid working on a vehicle without specific training/licensing. Hence vehicle inspections/roadworthy tests; someplaces more strictly than others.

It's possible that concern was part of the justification for not requiring manufacturers to make it easier. Spitballing.

As I said, I'm on the fence about it myself. Thing is, a vehicle on public roads has a lot of opportunity to injure or kill someone if a repair was made incorrectly. It's about more than just a person and the thing they own.

Parts pairing is just one piece of the puzzle; this is more broadly about access to parts, which would include proprietary refrigerants.

Darkassassin07 , 3 months ago

That's rather short sighted. I just listed several.

Don't know about you: I'd rather not have the ventilator keeping grandma alive repaired by the hospitals underpaid maintenance department; but a trained technician from the company that built it.

Some things are about more than just an individuals personal liberties.

Yes:

Did you actually read this thread and the replies in it, or were you just overwhelmed by the opportunity to post someone else's thoughts instead of your own?

Darkassassin07 , 3 months ago

Odd, the YouTube channel says 'LouisRossman', not 'Mango@lemmy.world'. Perhaps you are Louis incognito? Doesn't seem likely.

Again; I'd recommend actually reading this thread. Specifically; the reply from vrek, if you couldn't narrow that down for yourself.

Thing is, medical equipment suppliers should be held to higher standards than they are currently. If you're providing medical equipment to be used in public healthcare: you should be responsible for maintaining and repairing it imo.

There should be a minimum requirement for repair/maintenance/warranty provided by the manufacturer.

Hospitals don't invest in the ability to perform such repairs largely because of the liability involved, ontop of often being a poorly funded/staffed public service.

The company license is no guarantee they aren't minimum wage nobodies.

No, but then the manufacturer is responsible for the quality of repair/maintenance performed by its staff.

If something goes wrong with the equipment; it's on the equipment manufacturer instead of the hospital using it.

With a mandate on repair/maintenance; they'd be forced to provide quality service to survive.

You certainly can, it may get seen eventually. But I'm not going to sit through an hour of someone else's content to figure out what point your trying to make.

If you won't even put some effort in and write your own thoughts out, why should I spend my time researching what you think?

It's the lack of effort that bothers me. Especially when my time is limited.

Darkassassin07 , 3 months ago

Sure, but it also created a research project for me, instead of just speaking their mind for me to then respond to.

It just kills the conversation.

If you've got an opinion, voice your opinion. Why do you need someone else to speak for you?

Darkassassin07 , 3 months ago

Yes, it is a project.

They could have summarized the point in a couple paragraphs instead of demanding I waste an hour of my time to be able to respond at all. First I'd have to actually have that much free time; which I haven't had today until just now.

Darkassassin07 , 3 months ago

If you won't even put some effort in and write your own thoughts out, why should I spend my time researching what you think?

Pointing to someone else as a reference is one thing; but the completely no effort "here's some links, you do all the work" is almost insulting.

Imagine if Wikipedia removed all the actual info and just kept the reference links. I'm here for the actual info, I didn't visit to be told where I can go to find it. I'll look at the references if I need further clarification, and have the time/energy/desire to do so.

Apple confirmed that it at one point considered creating an Apple Watch for Android.

The very first line is very very different than the title...

Darkassassin07 , 3 months ago

Literally everything that's not manufactured and sold by Apple.

Darkassassin07 , 3 months ago

That makes no sense.

We aren't talking about two phones paired with each other, were talking about a pair of headphones or a smart watch, causing the phone it's linked to to make a sound. Nothing more.

There is absolutely 0 opportunity to acquire a location from that.

Beyond that; apple products, specifically airpods and apple's smart watch, have these abilities.

Why would it be a security flaw to allow an Apple manufactured device to perform these functions, but not a third party device, utilizing the exact same implementations?

Try again.
