I thought one thruster has been permanently disabled now? Not that that's a major problem, but it does eat into their redundancy somewhat.

How will they filter it out? If they just don't mirror anything with 'forbidden' terms, we can poison repos to prevent them being mirrored. If they try to tamper with the repo histories then they'll end up breaking a load of stuff that relies on consistent git hashes.

For the toddler to use?

There is a mechanical door release if you're trapped inside. To get in from outside obviously needs the vehicle to unlock, so it has to be jump started.

Even if there was some kind of back-up mechanical lock I can't see anyone carrying around a key only for this specific eventuality. A glass breaker key-ring might be the best option — along with understanding how to use these emergency features in case you need them. A glass breaker might also save you in a fire or ending up underwater.

There's a panel that can be popped out to open the hood with a 12V power supply: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-34181E3A-B4A7-4658-906A-38C6647B5664.html

The front ones don't seem to be hidden, but yeah - if they're not meant to be used regularly, people won't remember them in an emergency. I guess the rear ones are hidden because they probably bypass child-locks.

I don't know how child-locks work on mechanical door latches. If the vehicle locks when in motion and the child-locks are on I don't think there are emergency releases on most vehicles? The only ways out would be to get into the front cabin, break the windows, or find the internal boot release.

That is fun, I didn't know that was a thing. I imagine that roll-overs are more common than submersion in water, but even so, that doesn't sound like a great trade-off. Even in a crash, being able to quickly jump out the window is good — especially if the vehicle is on fire.

This Hacker Tool Extracts All the Data Collected by Windows’ New Recall AI (www.wired.com)

When Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed the new Windows AI tool that can answer questions about your web browsing and laptop use, he said one of the “magical” things about it was that the data doesn’t leave your laptop; the Windows Recall system takes screenshots of your activity every five seconds and saves them...

It requires full disk encryption doesn't it? If someone already has access to your account then they can access this data the same way you can. The new issue here is that this silos a load of private data in one easy to grab location. Users would have to set up the filters perfectly to prevent recall capturing anything more sensitive than what's already accessible to their account. This is in a world where many users are probably storing their passwords in a Word document on the desktop.

Right but if I use a hammer to prove the lock I just bought is useless at protecting my shed, I'm not committing theft. This was a few lines of Python to look at data that is explicitly stored for the user to look at later.

So... how does the user actually ®ecall™ anything? Do they have to ask M$ Co-pilot™ AI to get it from The Azu®e™ Cloud? Because I'm pretty sure a hacker could do that just as easily.

It's just looking in a sqlite file and listing the jpeg directory. The only extra step is running icacls to let the user read the files.

Their solution is to let users filter out websites in compatible browsers. This lets them blame the user for not marking sensitive websites as such. I don't know if native applications can also be filtered.

Of course they also filter out precious DRM protected content. You wouldn't steal a series of JPEGs.

Whichever one has the smallest relative path to the workbook using it? How does it find the workbook if it isn't open already?

Don't forget that there's a hidden system junction at C:\ProgramData\Application Data that points to C:\ProgramData. Because everyone loves loops in their filesystem. Of course C:\Users\All Users is also a junction to C:\ProgramData. This kills updatedb in WSL.

Huh, it's the same as $(( )) - arithmetic expansion.
I think it's deprecated and not in the bash manual, but it still seems to work.

I still don't understand the point of namespaces. I guess it's less overhead to pass through a namespace to a VM rather than having a virtualised disk image or bind mount.

Morphit ,
@Morphit@feddit.uk avatar

I would encourage you not to split things up too finely. A single repo for your environment would allow you to see all related changes with git. E.g. if you set up a new VM it might need a playbook to set something up, a script to automate a task, and a DNS entry. With a well put together commit message explaining why you're making those changes there's not much need for external documentation.

Maybe if you want some more info organised in a wiki, point to the initial commit where you introduced some set up. That way you can see how something was structured. Or if you have a issue tracker you can comment with research on something and then close the issue when you commit a resolution.

Try not to have info spread out too much or maintaining all the pieces will become a chore. Make it simple and easy to keep up.

8% reduction in peak AC usage would be huge. I don't have a good feel for numbers like that but I'd imagine it would take a lot of maintenance and roof replacements not not make a saving given that kind of energy reduction.

It would be nice if they could estimate some uncertainties and show where the break even is between energy reduction and upkeep energy expenditure.

Usually aluminium or glass. There's a metallic coating applied to the outside surfaces that stores the data. That layer is very thin though, so most of the material is the substrate.

They wouldn't need to access 14,000 separate accounts if they had internal access to the database.

The article states they got access to "private data" from 6.9 million other users via a 'DNA relatives' feature but doesn't explain what kind of information that is. For those accounts that got directly accessed, it seems unlikely the hackers requested and intercepted an email for every one without being noticed sooner. Sounds like they only scraped what's available on the site itself but it'd be nice if the article actually detailed that.

Yeah they were out of contact for 63 days when it flew ahead of perseverance last year: https://phys.org/news/2023-06-ingenuity-mars-helicopter-home.html

The article doesn't seem to suggest that they've given up on it.

Also Matter is the smart home interop standard. Seems close enough for some confusion in what Matter compatible means on a device.

Morphit ,
@Morphit@feddit.uk avatar

Oh right, that makes sense. I was only thinking of Matter as serving low bandwidth devices but it also runs over WiFi and ethernet so I guess it can do video for security cameras etc. and evidently Casting audio and video also.
