perch56··on How Not to Acknowledge a Data Breach
A few years back I met with a few engineers working for Wipro. They were designing the dashboard electronics behind the new BMW 5 or 7 series. I was shocked to find that out at the time. Found some news about it here in case someone is curious on more info: https://www.wipro.com/newsroom/press-releases/archives/wipro...
perch56··on Sprayprinter – A graffiti robot startup
Interesting as I just watched last night on Netflix, “Love, Death & Robots Episode 14: Zima Blue” which is a story very similar to the robot from the article.
perch56··on Don’t Shoot Messenger
Quoting from the article: “The government would then use that key to decrypt voice data separately captured by the subject’s ISP (likely a mobile provider in this case).”
perch56··on Dropbear SSH, a lightweight alternative to OpenSSH
In a recent vulnerability assessment that I performed, I was surprised to find out that Cisco is using Dropbear on products such as UCS Managed C240M servers.

iLol :)
perch56··on John Perry Barlow has died
This is an incredible story. Strangely enough this is what John Perry Barlow shared on Instagram last December: “I met my precious granddaughter today. She feels inexplicably familiar to me.”

perch56··on Facebook users in Romania see content related to street protests reviewed
Here is the Archive.org link as it seems the original website is down. https://web.archive.org/web/20171127203202/https://dorinlaza...
perch56··on $5 Showdown: Linode vs. DigitalOcean vs. Amazon Lightsail vs. Vultr
If you refer to Scaleway, they have 2 DC's in Paris and Amsterdam.
perch56··on Why Do Americans Refrigerate Their Eggs?
I'm also Romanian, however living in Hungary. Can confirm this for both countries. Eggs in supermarkets as Aldi or Lidl are not washed, possibly slightly cleaned before they receive a print stamp for the date of production.

Edit: The egg boxes are stacked outside of refrigerators at room temperature.

perch56··on What could happen if you refuse to unlock your phone at the US border?
I see you mentioned Eastern Europe but only include Russia. Eastern Europe includes many other countries open to LGBT communities. Don't always believe the news headlines as they tend to exaggerate. Hungary and Romania have done big efforts towards this, still churches have a lot to say but peoples mentality changed, accepting diversity.
perch56··on Ask HN: What is the biggest untapped opportunity for startups?
The problem for the obesity in developed countries is sugar. I recently read this article that sums up much better than I could explain: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/apr/07/the-sugar-co...
perch56··on How to learn hacking
Be careful not to confuse this blog with F-Secure the Finnish Security company. Seems to me the two are totally unrelated.
perch56··on Webcams used to attack Reddit and Twitter recalled
Ok when I said "they" I meant the manufacturer(s). Look at Samsung and their inability to do a proper recall for the Note 7. A lot of the stores from Aliexpress disappear after one year of existence. I think the proper thing to do immediately is to reverse Mirai and force a password reset on the affected devices.
perch56··on Webcams used to attack Reddit and Twitter recalled
A significant number of these cameras were bought on Aliexpress and EBay. How are they going to do the recall when they don't even know the end customer?
perch56··on Arduino-Based Home Weather Station on the Elastic Stack
You seem to have experimented with some sensors. I was wondering what would be your top choices of sensors for someone learning hardware hacking with Arduino/Raspberry Pi(not only temperature measurements). Thank you very much.
