Yes. It could talk to another smart device and ask it to send its packages. You could be careful and connect none of the smart crap in your house to your network, but the smart fridge in your upstairs neighbor's kitchen could still be helping with smuggling your data out. Or your devices could be connected to some unsecured network around.
In any case, the only surefire way to stop your data from getting smuggled out is to physically kill all the wireless connectivity capabilities of the device. Disconnect antennae, desolder chips, scrape out pcb traces. Otherwise you're just hoping the firmware is not doing anything funny. Fortunately I think these are all hypotheticals that have not (yet) been observed in real smart home products.
The clue is in the name. The U stands for unidentified, which means you don't know what it is, which does not in turn mean that it's aliens. The only thing those videos proved was that someone's camera recorded something weird. Prove that those weird things were actually aliens and not some obscure sensor glitch or weather phenomenon or a secret government tech demo, then we'll freak out.
OP read about the "fight the biggest baddest dude you can find on your first day" strat online and didn't stop to think about its applicability.
I agree with the "cars are not stuck in traffic, they are the traffic" thing, but I think it can be unfair when you make the subject people.
I am currently lucky enough that I can take the train to and from work. Never have to get on the asphalt on my commute except to cross the street twice. It's great. I sit down and it goes. Lovely stuff. This hasn't always been the case, though. My car was my one and only option at my previous workplace. Way too far to bike, no public transport, so I was forced to drive there. I hated every minute of being one of the many single-occupant cars on the road. I'd very much have liked to not be sitting in front of a steering wheel believe you me, but the city simply did not provide any better alternatives. I argue that I was stuck in traffic because I didn't choose to be there in a car to begin with. And that most definitely did get on my nerves quite often, and it did make me more irritable.
Yeah yeah people could and should vote for politicians who'll build that infrastructure, but until those are elected and that infrastructure has been built, there are plenty of people who are stuck in traffic.
She sits in the window seat, goes to the toilet every 27 minutes, and refuses all offers to switch with the aisle seat.
It's probably a typo. The n key is right above the spacebar. I make the same mistake quite often.
For some reason that's a very common thing among websites where I shop for 3d printing and electronics supplies. It's infuriating because it forces me to cycle through all the tabs to find a specific one instead of just reading it off the god damn tab title. A gross misuse of valuable screen real estate that's normally expected to display useful information. Fuck you.
But loud pipes save lives. When a buddy of mine died some years back, doctors said it was because he'd neglected to ear-rape his entire neighborhood while pulling into the garage at midnight.
Have you not read the relevant chapters in The Wealth of Nations?
If he meets enough Billie Eilishes he can finally have enough copper to sell and buy a house.
You said no weapons, but no mention of armor.
Wrap me in some chain mail or kevlar or whatever, and set me loose. I will rain down an ungodly firestorm upon any number of squirrels. They're gonna have to call the United Nations and get a binding resolution to keep me from destroying them. I will massacre them. I will fuck them up.
Its niches are nowhere near as strong as reddit though. The only reason I can't ditch reddit is small hobby subs and stuff like that. Their alternatives on lemmy are just not good enough, because of a hideous combination of lack of users and fragmentation.
I believe the C in CAT stands for "contrarianism"
Wait, don't Bluetooth devices randomize their macs like wifi to hide their identities from unpaired devices?
That doesn't sound right. 124ml of olive oil will probably do funny things to your shit and make you feel weird, but I very much doubt it'll kill you unless you inject it straight into your aorta.
It's a list of words for each letter in the English alphabet so they they can be spelled unambiguously over the radio.
What's the LD50 of high quality olive oil?
Can't have been a good week to quit sniffing glue.
One of the problems I see is that you're not telling anything about what the problem is beyond "it broke". Nobody can help you fix anything when you won't tell us what is broken.
Though I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess it's a keyring issue. Try reinstalling archlinux-keyring.
Hello,
I've just recently unpacked my new Dell P3421W monitor. I was like 80% sure there would be no Linux support for the proprietary piece of software that manages the monitor's features, because that sorta stuff is hardly ever built for Linux for some fucked up reason, but I figured I could use my macbook (for which there actually is support) or the monitor's own nipple menu to do stuff. Turns out the macbook version does not work properly on Apple silicon, and the nipple menu doesn't have all the things.
I know it's a long shot, since google hasn't helped much, but would anyone here know if there's a way to go about it? Maybe there are existing tools?
