Looks like there’s a metasploit available. You can use that on your router to see if it’s susceptible. A quick google search indicates that this is only successful on older routers without input validation.

In general, follow good cyber security hygiene, and update the firmware on your router. If your router no longer is supported by the vendor (no more firmware updates for vulnerabilities found), then it’s old and you should upgrade.

And most news papers were acquired by the same handful of media companies. In turn these companies ravaged local markets and there’s just no coverage of the actual truth, even on local happenings.

There’s an article about my hometown covered by NY times or something (I forget, it’s been a few years). We had a flourishing newspaper that employed a decent amount of the community, when that article came out (2010ish) the same company had 3 reporters and 5 staff. The newspaper would cover legitimate issues locally and nationally. They had amazing journalists that promoted great things happening too (local studies, non profits doing the hard work to benefit the community, etc). Basically, the boring stuff that isn’t flashy enough for social media. And now it’s all gone.

I legitimately have a difficult time finding news stories on any platform that I can trust.

Edit: I just read this, different angle to the same problem https://web.archive.org/web/20240512160438mp_/https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2024/06/china-russia-republican-party-relations/678271/

I’ll third this. I get this message on just about every website.

I was going to try to explain it, but realized I’m not very good at calling menus and such their proper names. So whatever I tell you wouldn’t be very helpful.

Apple also has a YouTube video that’s about 5 minutes long. The article is probably faster.

I’m not a power user, so I don’t use the majority of features on my phone. I generally set my “do not disturb” at bedtime. It allows calls through from my favorite contact list and my morning alarm. I have friends that set focus time and they love it.

Edit to add to the conversation. I disable all notifications, except for things I really want: calls, FaceTime, texts and to update my food diary if I haven’t done so before 2pm.

When I need to use Uber, I just keep watch on the app. I guess I’m a bit of a psychopath. But when I’m waiting for a car, I like to watch it move on the map. There’s nothing else I would use that would need me to have a notification.

Ha! Very appropriate response.

It’s too bad the programs that actually help people aren’t given more money and people to make it large scale. Instead, we get this.

I use KeePassium

This was my first thought. All of our data is already on a marketplace for companies to buy and sell. What is stopping any government agency, federal or smaller from simply participating in this?

We need to fix the root of the problem if this is to be stopped.

Gross. Can we start making fines meaningful? % of revenue maybe? I’m not an expert on this. But these fines should be more than enough to discourage behavior and not be “cost of doing business”.

Your comment makes me wonder if one could get around AT by installing faraday cages around where the chips are.

I block telemetry on my IoT devices and they still work. I’m curious if cars would be bricked if they couldn’t call home, or if you could selectively allow certain messages through.

Yeah, very stupid, unless it’s for military applications where there’s no guarantee of power to recharge a phone everyday. I doubt this would be used for the everyday person. But if it is, I’m real curious to see the impact, especially for the people who store their phone in a pocket.

With the exception of the listed medical devices, all the other use cases point to military, and it would make sense to have such a battery in that environment.

Medical devices definitely make me ask your question.

I am not in marketing, and neither is my degree.

But this sticks out to me as something interesting, mostly because I am not religious. But I am interested in what religious texts actually say, and not what is said/repeated in religious ceremonies.

To market your community to the correct audience (I.e. not internet trolls) you’d need some statements if you don’t already have them. Like what is your intended purpose, what are your goals/vision. From there, you can tease out your audience. This will help you decide how to increase visibility of your community. You can advertise to your audience through ads, email lists, other social media. Your strategy, is really dependent on defining these things. Every cybersecurity tech startup has the same playbook: start company, establish a blog. Publish a ton of blogs/articles with appropriate keywords/hashtags all over LinkedIn, twitter, whatever, then get visibility and eventually customers.

Example; If you’re focused on being more academic, I’d imagine you’d target universities or colleges, start regional clubs, or put up fliers with a QR code for people to find you. My university is heavy on using Discord as a communication tool. Every community, club, and even individual classes has a discord channel. Many people dislike discord from a privacy perspective, but many people enjoy it too. There’s QR code fliers all over campus advertising clubs, tutoring, etc.

You can try Dosa!

That’s hilarious. I thought I for sure the article would be The Onion.

It’s hard to measure happiness, but maybe they should study mental health and happiness of people who don’t use social media. Then compare the groups.

It’s also probably difficult to determine impact of social media in persons who never experienced life without social media. I would liken it to the this is fine, dog on fire meme.

Not a piracy answer, but email the author(s). Most are excited that someone is taking interest in their work and will gladly send you the paper.

You just blew my mind with the baking soda!

MSG is amazing, never deserved the hate it got.

I don’t have any tips that most don’t already know. I cook with simple ingredients. I save and freeze a bit of stock and cook with stock where I can. It adds a bit of depth that oil/butter doesn’t.

For my stock, I’ll save vegetable scraps and freeze it until I have enough. Then boil it down for a few hours. Vegetable is fun to play with. You can add different flavors, and different elements depending on the vegetables you use. Mushrooms will have a unique umami.

Same with seafood stock, I’ll save shrimp shells and fish heads and boil (simmer?) it down. Chicken stock I just boil the bones down after I roast a chicken. For beef, same thing, I’ll roast the bones for more flavor and boil it down. Also I’ll add carrots and celery to the boil for more flavor.

In a similar thought, I love to use coconut oil when cooking when I want a sweeter taste. And finishing a dish with some sesame oil can add a really good flavor. (Sometimes I’ll lightly toss noodles in sesame oil after they’re cooked, or do the same with roasted veggies)

If anything is bloated, it’s the defense budget. Many of these agencies have websites and services that were designed in the 90s. They need to be updated. No idea why that would be defunded for these small niche projects.

But I’d be happy dellocating some of the military budget for agencies that actually help Americans.

I don’t use instagram. The article touches on the privacy issues of Meta, but doesn’t really explain why Pixelfed is a better alternative or if it’s more privacy focused. Or even why I should use this platform other than “hey, it’s not Instagram”.

I’d trust some random people running an activity pub server just as much as I’d trust Meta with my personal photos: I won’t.

Coming from Wired, I’d hope the article would have a more technology focused approach, explaining to people they could host their own server so they take back control of their own data. Isn’t that the part of the point of the fediverse?
