Served in the Krogan uprisings. Now I run a podcast
I’m looking to get one soon enough from the EU store. Depending on the product they will say if it is shipping from China directly. I guess we have to trust some of these companies at some point with all of our devices. I plan to use it with a commercial vpn
Sharing is caring
😄 Fair enough. Thanks for getting back to me
No but this doesn’t do anything to “deal” with the problem as anyone can built up trust like Jian tan showed. The argument that this makes us more secure is like saying closed source is more secure cause the hackers dont have access to the source.
We have evidence of the US messing with nist standards so by that same logic should we assume all us actors are bad ?
The solution is to verify the code maybe have multiple people from different locations have to review stuff. Build more checks into the process.
The whole point of it being open is that it can be reviewed. It shouldn’t matter where the contributor is from as all code should be subjected to a rigorous review process.
Same could be said for any intelligence service . it is better to focus on preventing and detecting these things through analysis and code reviews.
And they could just offer boatloads of cash to someone in another country to insert something so this doesn’t really prevent anything it only isolates a certain subset of people.
Just finished it today on yuzu, only issue I had was some of the coloring on the rifts in the overworld. I used the 18.1.0 firmware for anyone that wants to know
If the news is that important you’ll find it elsewhere without this bs
I have a 2011 kindle, the silver one with no backlight . I got second hand from a friend and I use calibre on linux to convert books to the amazon format and copy them over via USB. It does the job but I have seen that these are like 20 ducats on eBay and other places if anyone wants a cheap option.

We have a deebot but its a dumber model, no internet connection no app no cameras. Just a remote with some rudimentary pathfinding and it does the job.
I would only trust selfhosted and foss stuff for anything in my home.
Do you take sugar in your own tea ? Do you even drink tea ?
I’m partial to honey in my tea.
I use brave search. I can generally find most things. They even have an answer with ai thing that gives some useful stuff when you want a specific quick answer.
I also use ddg.
Ah that explains it. They have their own way of doing things over there. Thanks for sharing your experience all the same, it is good to know.
Where are you experiencing this ? I have not experienced personally this in South America or Europe. It is usually just the immigration who look at the passport and let you through once you say you’re visiting or whatever
I imagine they have this stuff internally classifying photos and faces.
Buy a second hand phone

I’ll continue to block them as long as we can and then move on to something else if we can’t. By paying you are just rewarding this exploitative behavior.
If you simply must pay for something then donate it to a charity instead. These companies do not need your money.
Machines could be doing all the work. We could have clean energy , air ,water and food and shelter for all…
Its stuxnet like
