I have a solar inveter from a company, aparticular German brand. I wanted to use home assistant with it so I needed rs232 data.. tried the support and they asked me to sign an NDA.

Okay, cool. I did with a fake name, address and everything and they sent a file..

Turns out the file is available online.

Facepalm pro Max.

So my question is, what kind of "IP" is in a data sheet that needs protection ? And this isnt even some secret product but a generic solar product sold by millions.

Rs-232 protocol ? Really ?

Was it Alpha-ESS? they make it so stupidly hard to get your information outside of their smartphone app.

This is so hard to read for an English native person, well done.

I also propose Eierlegende Wollmilchsau as a type, that would be fun!

Canoe (their SNES emulator) is definitely their own creation, it's very limited and can mostly only run the games they've released with it.

I think it has some similar bugs to ZSNES, but that's just because they're both crappy low-accuracy emulators.

iirc they used a open-source emu on their snes/nes mini

Someone on Twitter mentioned how some kid managed to crash and shutdown their insulin pump using the flipper zero.

Mad_ad · 2 years ago

source? sounds fishy to me, can't believe insulin pumps are so vulnerable.

Hopefully more like archive.org and less like Wikipedia or the search results will be as badly biased as most Wikipedia topics are which are even tangentially related to politically contentious subjects.

oh boy, you should look at german wikipedia...
