    I thought unless an android or iPhone is beaconing, it only broadcasts ble on device wake? Maybe I'm misremembering, but for example my esphome proxies in HA will show nothing for …

    It's only like five steps? Just use the platform supported on your hardware...

    I feel ripped off! (kidding, this is commonly "reinvented" by many. Here's my Cloudflare and Google DNS ones: https://github.com/zackoch/easy_cloudflare_dns_updater/tree/... https:…

    Idk how I feel about this. I think this is only an appropriate solution if you are 100% capable and can take complete ownership of patching said dependencies. I get how there is ri…

    I don't know the answer to your question, but have often thought the same thing. I used to have this saying - at some point you have to take the tinfoil hat off and just "live a li…

    Definitely try out fancyzones from powertoys if you're on Windows. For Linux I'm not really sure, not much of a Linux desktop environment type, but I'm sure there's something for g…

    You mean open ai put out a model and people stopped using search? Or Google? What Open ai offers currently can't really compete with search - I understand the data it's being fed g…

    well my thought is that they 'whipped it up' real quick to attempt to downplay it a bit. Did that backfire? Yeah, I think so. But personally, I think people are missing where the r…

    I'm probably way too late for this thought to get any traction / discussion - but I have this weird feeling that openai screwed up and showed it's "cool new thing" too early, and p…

    No, it's not sophisticated. They're using "sophisticated" inappropriately here for pure PR. Just because phishing is common, doesn't make it sophisticated.

    The song jingle bells - I'd been saying "one horse slope and sleigh" for like 25 years. I'm not dumb, I just never looked at the lyrics I guess? IDK, it was a life changing moment …

    I sort of explained my thought process above but I suspect they've done it this way for "cdn things" It's not great, there's certainly a way to secure it, but like many other solut…

    Technically I agree - it's just one of those things that quite a few platforms do... It's similar to the eufy stuff circulated about recently. User uploads XYZ, they expect it to b…

    No, if you send a photo or video it's a "public" url though... It's just improbable to enumerate.

    There's more to cs than passwords mate. Your view is ultra narrow minded, and shockingly selfish. Sure they don't pay you to "put up with security" but they also don't need to pay …
