Which means that Firefox works properly on that aspect. Good.

Treczoks ,

Not only malware, but the sh-t that is floating high on X.

I've seen a VHDL implementation of the Z80 on the net. It is so old, it's last fixes were from 19 years ago...

"Thanks for the tax breaks, but now we are off to the next tax breaks"

Treczoks ,

Absolutely. And I think a proper "Export to PDF" in Inkscape is something that should be high on the list of "future features" in Inkscape. Editing the PDF in Inkscape is heaven, having to re-join the pages to one big PDF afterwards is (unnecessary) hell.

Treczoks ,

I've got Inkscape 1.3.2 and so far I have not found to export it as one multipage PDF, only as a batch of numbered single-page PDFs.

Treczoks ,

I can only import multipage PDFs in 1.3.2. Export produces a bunch of single-page PDF files. What version do you use?

Treczoks ,

The "free ride on public transport" is something I only knew from Japan. Although I would not profit from this, I'd prefer they would use this method here, too.

Treczoks ,

2G? That is a word I have not heard in a long time.

Treczoks ,

OK, that is USA. They have been a bit backwards for a long time, so this is not a surprise.

Treczoks ,

A few years ago, I saw a cheap GSM adapter for a PC for e.g. emergency messages of the server. It was cheap, as it only supported 3G. Luckily, I checked availability of 3G before I bought it, as it would have been a doorstopper here.

Treczoks ,

Good. Lock them up and throw the key in the gutter.

Treczoks ,

that it would have been huge fucking computer security news.

Nope. If someone found such a backdoor, it is more likely he/she sold it to the three letter agencies, who love hoarding vulnerabilities like that.

Treczoks ,

There is an easily hackable and cheap device from IKEA by the name of "VINDRIKTNING". There are YT videos on how to wifi-enable that thing and integrate it into home automation services.

Treczoks ,

I stand corrected. Thank you!

Treczoks ,

If only AI was smart enough to bring us this breakthrough...

Treczoks ,

Just put the device on a separate wifi without internet access, or look at the "child protection" features of your router. Ours can put devices based on their MAC into "access groups" which range from "full access" over "internet from <time> to <time>" to "no internet at all".

Treczoks ,

Luckily, most embedded devices lack the smart to attach to two networks at the same time. So you keep it locked into a network where it can only do your bidding, and it won't listen to anyone else. Unless they built in some very crazy and nefarious code and drive around with network enabled cars in the owners neighborhood.

Treczoks ,

Not everybody has the money for an extra router.

No need for an extra router. I just put those device into the "has no internet access" group. It is one of those "Parental Control" things. Every device inside the net can see and talk to it, but itself cannot talk to anything outside.

Treczoks ,

Until the router needs to be reset, or something else happens to it.

That's what "configuration backups" are for. You've got some, don't you?

Treczoks ,

Easy: Just use the right browser and adblocker, and you basically have premium, but without the ads they still throw at you.

Treczoks ,

Hmm, I don't see ads on YT, but neither do I see any adblock warning. Looks like I'm striking the right balance.
