It’s an uncommon take that a diverse market with no single sector even close to a majority is a problem.

Clips work by observing transmission of light through the finger being absorbed by oxygen-carrying blood as opposed to the single chip wearable which depends on measuring reflected light. Different techniques, different patents.

I don’t understand why people use sha256 when sha512 is often significantly faster: https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/26336/sha-512-fas...

We were talking about open Wi-Fi networks. This paranoid alternate reality where tv companies are paying every ISP for backdoor access is very, very far away from flipping the “opportunistically join open networks” bit. It’s also not borne

The irony of demonstrating a lack of critical thinking ability by claiming to be the great teachers of it has always been extremely amusing to me. Don’t correct them, it’s honestly better this way.

That’s moving the goalpost pretty far, don’t you think?

I don’t understand the point you’re making. Someone might eventually start doing something they’re not currently doing?

You might want to read the Wilson et al paper on mindfulness significantly increasing susceptibility to false memories, that’s quite the downside.

There’s also nothing stopping any of them from including an Iridium modem in their sets. Or using aircrack to try and break into a nearby network. Or any other tinfoil hat thing we can come up with. There are literally thousands of paranoid

Ask 4 people and you’ll get at least 5 answers, I recommend reading rtings reviews and buying whatever they recommend for whatever kind of viewer you are. If you’re asking this kind of question here then that’ll be good enough. Edit: https

Go into your router and block the MAC address. Even most ISP routers have an option for this, sometimes in the Parental Controls section. Much easier than changing the password or resetting the TV.

Tl;dr, as anyone’s who has researched this extensively knows, buy a projector or something that’s over 15 years old.

Can you connect to it and get internet without hitting a captive portal that requires your ISP creds? That’s usually how it happens in the US.

Which ISPs are giving out APs with no key needed and no captive portal? Every one that I’m aware of requires some manner of secret to login to the shared AP.

There are some videos around on the internet that show how to find the Wi-Fi module on an LG tv, for example the below. If you break your tv by trying this it’s on you. https://youtu.be/gRrBZ2Eu5-I

I have tried pretty hard (I came up with 100 common Wi-Fi names by googling around) and have never been able to get it to happen. With enterprise grade Wi-Fi gear it’s pretty trivial to create a ton of AP names and route them all to a test

Great advice for breaking a $1000 piece of kit. A convenient rule of thumb for this advice is that anyone who should follow it doesn’t need it. Everyone else should be redirected to a teardown video.

Calling the version with no smarts “idiot” seems pretty clever to me.

They’re explicitly not making that point. They’re in fact arguing that “can’t” is a weird choice of word for which the post they’re responding to has drawn an extremely arbitrary line. If anything, you and (at the moment) all of your siblin

Zero trust doesn’t mean no VPNs, it means not just VPNs. In other words you can put your control plane behind ACLs (and you should!) but you should still require strong auth from the private network.

This is the exact type of unserious wish-reading I’m talking about. Do better.
