↳ In-reply-to » The Philips Hue ecosystem is collapsing into stupidity Philips Hue products are about to get a whole lot worse – even the ones you already own. Their latest round of stupidity pops up a new EULA and forces you to take it or, again, you can’t access your stuff. But that’s just more unenforceable garbage, so who cares, right? Well, it’s getting worse. It seems they are planning on dropping an update which will force you to log in. Yep, no longer will your stuff Just Work across ... ⌘ Read more

This should be illegal.

↳ In-reply-to » @prologic Not much, really. Went out for a long walk this morning since temperatures are finally down to a comfortable range. Now I’ll have a coffee and play some more Quake 4. 😅

I play chess, is that considered retro gaming?! 😆

↳ In-reply-to » ESP32 board equipped with Ethernet and MicroSD card slot One of the latest embedded products launched by LILYGO is the T-ETH-Lite which is based on the ESP32-S3 module with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. Additionally, the compact board includes an ethernet port and a microSD card slot for convenient storage. This development board, like other new LILYGO products, is built around the ESP32-S3 microcontroller.  ESP32-S3 […] ⌘ Read more

@linux_gizmos@feeds.twtxt.net Hmmm 🤔 This is a cool looking embedded board! 👌

AmaIng that on these plane WiFi networks, clearly powered by satellites, even get this much bandwidth 🙃

Latency is pretty piss poor, but you kind of expect that with a moving target 🤣

↳ In-reply-to » What's everyone up to? 🤔 Good weekend so far? 🤔

@yakumo_izuru@tsuki.chaotic.ninja This in and of itself ☝️ is why I believe so strongly that the whole “Fediverse” concept is utterly broken. You cannot scale human interactions like this. It doesn’t work on a centralised system, and it doesn’t work on a distributed system either. 🤣

↳ In-reply-to » @eapl.me The reason I was asking was specifically @fachex mentioning another open source OTP app that's been audited and verified. So was thinking of switching out the OTP app I use on my phone 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net I didn’t know that, thanks! I generally don’t use the password manager on iOs or macOS even for that matter though, but thanks 👌 I do however recommend it to family/friends (but with iCloud turned off for obvious reasons)

↳ In-reply-to » How is everyone finding GitHub CoPilot? 🤔 Good / Bad ? 🤔

@thecanine@twtxt.net Agreed, I find it rather ironic really. First Microsoft stole everyone’s open source works, without asking, without acknowledgement, Now they’re giving CoPilot free to use to all those they stole from?! 🤦‍♂️ LIke da fuq?!

↳ In-reply-to » @prologic 1. It's criminal: Copilot was only possible because of massive theft of other peoples' work (no compensation or even acknowledgement to any of the developers whose code was used to create Copilot) 2. It's positioned to put software developers out of work or so fully de-skill them that they no longer know how to code anything but prompts (after which come corporate-justified salary and benefits decreases)

@abucci Yeah I feel the same way. On both points 👌 I find it ethically immoral to use CoPilot specifically.

↳ In-reply-to » Circles do not exist However almost every “circle” you can see in printed media (and most purely digital ones) are not, in fact, circles. Why is this? Since roughly the mid 80s all “high quality” print jobs have been done either in PostScript or, nowadays almost exclusively, in PDF. They use the same basic drawing model, which does not have a primitive for circles (or circle arcs). The only primitives they have are straight line segments, rectangles and Bézier curves. None of these can be used to express a cir ... ⌘ Read more

↳ In-reply-to » How Google Authenticator made one company’s network breach much, much worse | Ars Technica

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Can you recommend one?

Of course, never ever use Google Authenticator. All it does is generate TOTP and HOTP codes, which you can do with any OTP app, preferably an open source one that’s been vetted.

I’ve been using Google Authenticator for years, but it never had this “sync” feature until recently 🤦‍♂️
