Technology@lemmy.world•Manufacturer issues remote kill command to disable smart vacuum after engineer blocks it from collecting data — user revives it with custom hardware and Python scripts to run offlineEnglish
154·3 days agoHaving not read the article: “Let’s apply Hanlon’s Razor: Oh, probably it just collects the data locally and caches it until the vendor’s servers are reachable. After a while the data partition was full and it stopped working as this case was never deemed possible when this was developed.”
Having read that the kill command was logged and he found it in the logs: “ok, there are no technical details, so there might still be a misunderstanding, but that’s not what I expected!”

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•What is the best way to get or request a relatively new textbook?English
9·4 days agoI was so pumped back then, when I learned where the book scanner in my university’s library was located. Although I never needed it for class itself, when you need to write some papers and needed some literature - just go to the library, get the book, put it on the scanner, copy all chapters you need and then rinse and repeat with the next book. No need to carry a fuckton of paper home to cite from or work for hours in the library. A single pen drive is enough for that.
German has both genders for dogs, but since the variants look (and sound) slightly different, it’s not instantly obvious:
Der Hund - a male dog
Die Hündin - a female dog
But yes, they are responsible, that one cannot blindly blame everything on them without being called out for it!!!1111oneeleven

There aren’t many i386 distributions anymore, but you should still have some selection, I think

Technology@lemmy.world•Lawmakers Want to Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They're DoingEnglish
22·11 days agoThat’s basically any modern network. There is no more trivial “inside our network” vs. “outside on the internet”. Networks are segmented on a need-to-know principle. You can access some information from the public internet. Some other things can be accessed from the internet, but only on corporate devices, if your user AND device is whitelisted. And then you have one or more VPNs on top of that for more sensitive stuff. Also those VPNs may be “dynamic” in the sense that it may also be dependent on the user, device and authentication method what is currently accessible over that VPN connection.

6·11 days ago…all the other “players” were NPCs with your friend’s username. Don’t worry, I’ll figure out the actual multiplayer later! This is normal and correct!
Have you heard about the term

If we count diverse electronic trinkets (ESPs, Raspberry Pis, breadboards, LEDs,….) as crafting supplies, then yes that’d work perfectly
Bold of you to assume I thought of having something to take notes on handy when I need to take notes…
Salt is hydrophile, which means it attracts water.
- To much salt (outside cell) now attracts the water in the cell to the outside -> less water in cell, cell dehydrated.
- To little salt (outside cell): salt in cell attracts water from the outside, but now salt levels in the cell are diluted (these are actually needed in your cell to function).
- Just the right amount of salt: cells can now directly use the water without diluting the salts they contain and continue working as normal








No, never! Otherwise, we wouldn’t have such wonderful musical creations!
