“That’s how fast it can happen, maybe just a couple seconds.” The attacks have become common enough that some car owners have taken to keeping their keys in Faraday bags that block radio signals—or in the freezer.

That makes me laugh.

Just to be able to push a button to start you car, you have to keep your keys in a faraday bag or in the Freezer. That's just silly

I like my old keys of my 2010 car, turn to power the engine. I start to become an grumpy old fart waving his cane in his thirties. Technology seems to be 1 step forward two steps backwards sometimes. Don’t get me started on car screen buttons, tactile ones or some that have two functions like (fan speed + audio volume - rented a car that worked that way. My copilot didn’t want to touch on those buttons anymore)

I really wonder what will be my options when this one will not work anymore.

VinS ,

Would probably do this, but also rip it in very poor quality to be sure it does not take too much space :D

VinS ,

Something like Notion or Coda would not fit the bill? You need to do some work to fit your usage (configuring tables/views)

VinS ,

A) I've seen a lot of people recommending NUC100 computers, but the sata ports may be limited.
I currently have my old computer doing the thing (an i5 6500) with Unraid OS, really happy with it BUT they are changing their paying model this week so I don't know I would have went this way. I don't like subscription models.

B) Why not both? I have two SSD of 512Gb for items currently downloading and two HDD for Capacity (each 8Tb) already 30% filled in 1month. Both set of hard drives are set in duplication mode to avoid losing any day.

VinS ,

Just found this N100 as NAS looks good.

IPC N100
The same on Aliexpress

My I5 is around 25$ by year, so it would need to run for 10 years to break even with the cost of the motherboard alone.

But that's incredible what they were able to do for low energy/compute.

VinS , (edited )

Yeah, but it's the storage capacity that is interesting. If you don't need a lot of storage, go to the NVME/SSD option for sure. If you need more, price/capacity is still on the HDD side.

VinS ,

Totally agree with you 👍

VinS ,

Well, can't find it and they talk about open-sourcing since 2019. Not sure it's still on the works.

VinS ,

I don't have this optimism 😅

Music Piracy Is Back, Baby (gizmodo.com)

"Muso, a research firm that studies piracy, concluded that the high prices of streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music are pushing people back towards illegal downloads. Spotify raised its prices by one dollar last year to $10.99 a month, the same price as Apple Music. Instead of coughing up $132 a year, more consumers...

VinS ,

Paying for spotify, was google music before. Current "experience" is bad, I hate pop-ups to try to upsell me something I don't want or features I don't care. It happens too much and I'm considering switching to self host.
