For those looking for more context - If memory serves it was in response to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comodo_Cybersecurity#Certifica... and the various controversies around it.

Honest Achmed has been one of my favorites for as long as its been around.

Is it a regulatory issue? Could it be the hearing aid feature has an AI/voice recognition component trained on certain languages when it runs the "enhancement"? (no idea, just wondering, since the apple page had zero details)
resonanttoe · 10 months ago
The FDA has to certify the devices for use as hearing aids in the U.S

Other countries have similar regulatory bodies the certify the use of a medical device.

Hearing aids (and things sold as it) are medical devices.

> I might have a talk with David. I might say, ‘Listen, I’ve figured out it was you. Do I not seem approachable? Why are you and I not having a conversation about this?’

Talk about an absolute terrible way to approach someone who went public about a sexual harassment claim. From just this article I don't think I'd feel comfortable talking with this dude about anything serious going on.

100% that even if that situation were to arrive, it would never go down that way anyway. It's a complete fantasy they have in their head about how they're not the corporate stooge they actually are along with everything else this guy views about himself.

Years ago MS decided to exploit IRC a very similar way by producing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Comic_Chat - IRC networks and Channel operators hated this shit. It would add a tonne of extra encoding characters that weren't hidden in normal IRC clients.

All of this was because they wanted the critical mass of users and didn't want to work at establishing it themselves at the time.

(The funny part of it being that on the larger channels and networks, Comic chat was completely incapable of handling reasonably the large amount of chat volume in a channel)

Feels very similar where MS' entire philosophy is, if it works for us, we don't care if we spam non-MS people relentlessly.

Course it doesn't work that way, Sys-admins just end up banning/filtering or doing other work arounds to prune it.

You can also use its forked version here: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier

I use this between my Windows, Mac and Wayland(Sway) computers.

resonanttoe commented on Exploiting DNS response parsing on the Wii U   garyodernichts.blogspot.c... · Posted by u/bertman
londons_explore · 2 years ago
So this exploit requires control of the local network, since such a request isn't valid DNS and therefore wouldn't get forwarded through a typical users DNS resolver?
resonanttoe · 2 years ago
Yeh, that's typical for the console homebrew exploits though. (Or at least control of the resolver - the instructions looks like the author has a exploit server running for ease)

At the very least (beyond the extra TCP DNS fields) you need to ignore/drop the two UDP DNS requests the Wii U makes before failing to TCP.

I'd be interested to see a follow up in time to see what the IO wear-n-tear looks like.

Also "Using gokrazy instead of Ubuntu Server would get rid of a lot of moving parts. The current blocker is that ZFS is not available on gokrazy. Unfortunately that’s not easy to change, in particular also from a licensing perspective."

I don't pretend to get how licensing works, but is OpenZFS and their licensing not an option here? I know its been really tricky with ZFS in general and I don't think its fully answered? but I'm not up to date with it.

Why not ECC ram? Lot of AM4 boards support it.

Doesn't look like the 3000G supports it. https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/athlon/3000g

Did you consider separate VLANs for each type of Z-Wave hardware to reduce the broadcasts?
resonanttoe · 3 years ago
Zwave talks on 800-900MhZ and doesn't share medium with ethernet frames, so there isn't a concept of VLANs. Each Device meshes with anything and everything in its immediate broadcast range to provide some elasticity to the network. I can imagine at some high point of devices that the medium could become saturated

> I’m a software engineer by trade, and I won’t pretend to possess some arcane secret about running great events

Then proceeds to write an article full of absolutes and SHOUTING statements.

From the title I was expecting someone who has run tens or hundreds of successful high profile events.

resonanttoe · 3 years ago
It also doesn't look good that they put a clip from said virtual event where its clear they couldn't kick out of Bluetooth headset mode and proceed to have all your attendees listen to them in glorious 1990s PCM quality.
