  • Do I need a relay or something else entirely?

  • Thank you for this. I was not aware of a difference in AC vs DC switches. Do you know the underlying difference for this? Does AC arcs easier or something else?

    This lamp was converted with the help of my dad and granddad, they should have known better.

    The idea to embed a compact phone charger is a good one. Any recommendations on how wire the plug? Cut it off and solder + heat shrink the cables? The enclosure probably won’t open non-destructively… Embedding the charger in the lamp will also keep the cable as is, meaning I still keep the whole lamp grounded :)

  • Obvious choice

  • Eh, we’ve done pretty well with transmitting power. So although I do agree that spreading the load is always better, it should not be compromising the costs. As putting it “everywhere” also comes with some downsides.

  • Well, we could also stop adding a certain percentage of biofuel to our cars. The land that we gain from that, if covered by solar panels, would produce enough energy to cover all our energy demand.

  • Aluminum is not a naturally occurring metal however, but I do get your point. Never knew we received so much already.

  • No starlink is bad. It’s currently deorbiting 1-2 satellites a day, which means half a ton of aluminum and other metals burnt up in the atmosphere. Current ambition mean they will need to start deorbiting 3-5 satellites per day.

    We don’t know yet what ecological impact this will have. But I’m having a hard time accepting such wasteful energy and material consumption.

  • WHERE ARE MY PRECISION SCREWDRIVERS

    Jump

  • In wood yes. But please keep them off my bike. You suddenly really start to enjoy the ball end of your Allen keys when working in tight spots and torx has none of that (and some brand are starting to use more and more torx on their models)

    What games do you recommend for my girlfriend?

  • Android now lets you transfer eSIMs between your phones

    Jump

  • Well, on the other hand, do you just understand how simple cards work? I for sure don’t and I don’t see why I would need a chip from my provider to access it’s services, if I can get a digital key instead.

  • My general problem with cryptocurrency is their environmental impact / resource usage compared to traditional payment systems.

  • Beeper reverse-engineered iMessage to bring blue bubble texts to Android users

    Jump

  • Yeah, sorry, I got confused. Beeper mini does need servers to keep the notification service alive. And thus not crazy to ask for 2$ a month. Beeper cloud could indeed do without servers I guess, but I don’t know anything about that. I was just keeping up with the development of pypush (the python poc) and reverse engineering progress.

    I don’t understand your point of “you have to log in with a google account”. I understood that was a requirement to check subscription status (and as such limit fraudulent apk’s).

    But that seems to be a different story than “opensourcing this would mean a competitor could do it for free”.

    You can already do this for free with pypush. And if you want to use something else then python you could build something based on it with any language as pypush is completely open source.

  • Beeper reverse-engineered iMessage to bring blue bubble texts to Android users

    Jump

  • They do have to run servers in order to keep the service alive. If you want to run this stuff yourself on your own server that’s possible using PyPush. The reason they have to run those servers for you is to keep the notification service alive.

  • Although you do have a point, the school could as likely have contracted a third party to do the deployment, and cut ties fast as soon as things went awry. Then the last part seems reasonable, although embellished.

  • Why Apple is working hard to break into its own iPhones

    Jump

  • Having someone else with the decryption keys is not how e2e works. E2E is a pretty solid and proven system, and I have yet to find a solid source about “big tech holding the keys”.

  • Why Apple is working hard to break into its own iPhones

    Jump

  • Sadly the same thing has been happening on the android side (a quick google search seems to confirm this). Possible exploits reported but not patched in a timely manner. In general I feel like the Apple bug bounty problem has been swift, although indeed failing from time to time to reward an original reporter. I have not been keeping a close eye on the android side but I imagine the same has been happening. Apple has started to offer e2e encryption on iCloud data blocking even CIA/FBI access. And next to that, seeing I’m based in Europe (and so my data should too) I don’t feel like the patriot act has any impact on me.

  • Why Apple is working hard to break into its own iPhones

    Jump

  • I haven’t heard about google testing hardware based attacks on their chips, which I suppose could be caused by android running on a wide variety of chips instead of a few home-developed ones. Next to that Apple has had a bug bounty program for ages, that pays well and covers a wide range of attacks. Not hosting open hackathons has perhaps something to do with public brand image, but Apple shouldn’t be discredited regarding rewarding the findings of bugs and exploits.
