I was in the general IT space for Superfish and remember only models found at big box stores were affected. Not the typical "business-grade" machines typically bought by government, industrial, and enterprise. This article confirms my memory https://www.welivesecurity.com/2015/02/20/lenovo-superfish-d...

Exactly. I'm told there is at least one listening station that measures their power at distance, and they are trying to make sure their signal reaches these listening stations and nobody else's. I've heard at least 5 going at any given time. They play looped samples of their own voices with a few audio effects added on, then run that through the most powerful amplifier they can manage to build.

correct. it's the CV superbowl.

https://chimeraos.org/ I've been using this one, it updates the system atomically.

You can't exceed transmit power with a directional antenna. The radio transmits at a given milliwatt. dBi and dBm are a different measurement you might be referring to.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with concentrating your transmit (send) and receive (listen) with a Yagi or Dish type antenna that covers 700mhz to 2.5ghz.

or ReVanced. it's a beautiful project. Also, I've been using AdNauseum (based on Ublock) over the last few months and love it.

I was learning Docker as a curiosity, and trying NxFilter to satisfy my rage towards Advertisements around the same time. That led to me writing a Dockerfile to run NxFilter which led to teaching myself lots of things about automated build pipelines, adding flair and craft to a git repo, and offering best-effort support to random users on the Internet.

NxFilter ended up asking if I would be ok with being the official docker image and listed me on their website and in documentation.

I listed that on my resume for getting into DevOps fulltime and got the job. Now I work with people all over the US, Canada, and India.

I am job searching at the moment. While I adore 99% of the people I work with, the work itself isn't meaningful and I've survived 3 layoffs in 1.5 years. In my job preference list, it's currently only a few steps above HR/Payroll PAAS companies, just above Food/Dining/Beverage/Travel. I'd rather work on something that's improving people's quality of life, or solving the world's problems or making something more efficient for people outside of tech.

One app I use heavily is Blokada. It's a loopback "VPN" that runs completely locally, so all your traffic can be routed through the adblocking application running inside the VPN.

There's two versions of this app. From their website, it offers all the above features, but when installed from the Play Store there's no local VPN, it's only for connecting to a premium cost remote VPN.

I've still got a Voodoo3 in a Pentium 3 machine. around here somewhere.

It's a killer feature of YouTube Re-Vanced and was also in YouTube Vanced before that was shuttered.

Ad-nauseum is open source and based on Unlock Origin. It works on both Firefox and Chrome, but not available in the Chrome store so it has to be installed as an unpacked extension. Opera is miles better than vanilla Chrome and Ad-nauseum is available in their webstore as well.

That's an incredible generalization that may or may not be rooted in being Terminally Online.

Does a Cessna 172 not get 12-13mpg? My old truck gets 17mpg with a fuel injected straight 6

for a whole $250? that's a drop in the bucket for anything GA related.

You're going to need to provide a source for "the amount of lead taken up from leaded avgas in the community is close to zero" otherwise it's FUD.

Today I learned, thanks!

On my Android phone, the homescreen can have a short message, I changed it to "If found, call {wife's phone number}"

That's great and all, but if there was a known barracuda OS vuln that allowed attackers to gain root access, then they could gather information about the hardware, which includes the ability to interact with the IPMI (which runs it's own separate OS) to update the firmware or whichever way they're able gain persistent access to the IPMI device's OS.

Same issue for me. Tried hackernews@non.io as well.

So you disagree that Monster Energy isn't satanic?

I'm right there with you. Twitter is almost as bad as TikTok and I don't have an account for either.

My solution was to spin up Nitter and Proxitok on my docker host and set the appropriate redirects on my laptop browsers and Kiwi browser on Android devices. A total of 15mins of work and now I can look at all the links my friends send like browsing in 2006 again.

Word is they're going to take down old.reddit as well.

An OEM TFI or HEI is even cheaper and more reliable. If you splice everything with bullet connectors and keep the points coil with you, it's the same thing to go back to points, with no tools.

Don't even need Pertronix. You can use a TFI module from 1990's Ford vehicles and trigger it directly from the points distributor, or build a simple circuit with 1 transistor to invert the signal and trigger an HEI ignition module.

End users traverse the same core equipment no matter what the last mile cable media is. Newer fiber builds may have more efficient core gear or have more capacity but this is all limited by the ratio of users served by a particular backhaul link, and also the topology and configurations made by the operator. Large networks are a challenge for some.

Fiber is a lot less susceptible to water intrusion but still has the same potential for outages due to cable damage along roadsides and on aerial poles with power lines.

Did you click on Link to Widget? It's just above the video link.

For me it's usually for some automation task to gather a list of IDs for some cloud environment to build infra things.

BBB as well

Just like BBB. I'm not sure why people think it's some kind of government agency.

Exactly, we're all getting older. At the far end of the age spectrum, memory is all you have. I'd be interested to see a plot of HN users ages.
