Confirmation of anecdotes or gut feelings is still science. At some point you need data rather than experience to help people and organizations change their perception (see: most big tech companies lighting billions of dollars on fire on generative AI).
Believe me it’s better to be ignorant about this…

Or… They do what they did last time the lifetime was cut down from 3-10 years down to 395 days… Just issue you a new certificate when the old one runs out and up to whatever the time period you bought it for…?
Let’s Encrypt isn’t the only CA to use ACME, you can auto renew with basically any CA that implemented it (spoiler: most of them have)
I’ve been using this to automatically skip ads on my Chromecasts (youtube ads and in video segments) for the past year.

It’s literally sponsor block but for all of my Chromecasts
You must be new on the internet…
That’s correct, NHTSA required it federally on May 1st 2018. I may have mixed up some local laws or regulations that happened in 2015 (when I bought my last car they mentioned that all their cars were required to have backup cameras)
You’re aware that by law most cars after like 2015 2018 have to have a backup camera in the US right?
If it is broken they are literally breaking the law by not fixing it.
Yes, you can have your mirrors and rearview but the camera removes your blindspots that those miss (you know things like a small child that is behind your vehicle). It’s a critical safety feature that is broken and needs to be fixed.
edit: NHTSA required it in 2018 not 2015, Canada probably has similar laws on the books too
If you for some reason need to reset your password or do something else with the account.
You still have control over it using those services and there’s no chance of the free account getting reaped for inactivity and getting locked out. Sure creating a new Gmail account works, I just like having more control (and fewer passwords to deal with) using those services.
It’s also really nice to be able to use it to detect if a breach occurred because the email is unique to the service. Having the ability to make burner emails that are unique but owned by you and able to be toggled on and off helps me control what stuff hits my inbox. It also helps with privacy and preventing tracking as every site has its own unique address.
Once I started using those services I never give out my real email anymore. I don’t care if something asks for my email, I can just make a new unique email for everything and if you start spamming me it gets turned off until I need to deal with that service again. But having one inbox to check makes it simple to actually use those accounts since everything just goes into my true email.
Just my 2¢
Something like addy.io or simple login would let you create a unique email address that you can turn off and on as needed. No chance for spam, completely unique as to be able to remove the ability to track you elsewhere on the web.
It is arbitrary. While what classification a substance is may have some grounding in research, it’s mostly up to what interest group has either lobbied to get something under or whatever group law enforcement wants to be able to get easy charges for. Cannabis was Sched I because it made it easy for law enforcement to get big sentences for minorities and the counter culture participants of the day. Same thing with LSD and psilocybin.
All the DEA scheduling is just pick and choose your charge for whatever ideological ax they want to grind. Hence why things don’t line up with reality
Unfortunately I wouldn’t buy these given that it’s from Packt Publishing. I’ve bought quite a few of their books over the years and more often than not they’re either full of glaring writing errors that would have been caught if the book was looked at by an editor at all, the code examples have errors that require deep knowledge of said book topic to correct making it hard to progress, or the book doesn’t seem to follow a linear learning path making understanding what the author is trying to convey much harder.
Don’t get me wrong there are some good books from Packt, but they’re much rarer than say a book from O’Reilly or Manning. They seem to just churn out content and not have a rigorous editing process meaning that it’s mostly up to the author’s writing ability to create something useful.
I used to grab their free ebook of the day when they used to have that and more often than not I would delete or never finish the books because they were just so low quality.
You’re aware that you can send whatever traffic you want over any port right? Using 123/udp for NTP is just convention. A light bulb that is updating its time over Tor is suspect. TP-Link would have their own infrastructure or use public pools to update the device’s time.
It’s been hacked, the light bulb is likely part of some botnet or under an attacker’s control directly. Which is why it’s sending that much data continuously. IoT/smart devices don’t send a lot of data in this sort of volume as most of the time they’re idle and maybe send a heartbeat or status update every once in a while to prove they’re alive.
This is what is called an indicator of compromise or IoC, it’s some behavior or pattern that can be used to determine what is happening or who is the one doing the attacking.
Likely OP would need to do some analysis to be able to get attribution unless it’s a very well known botnet actor in which case attribution is fairly straightforward.
It’s definitely been popped. Rip.
You’d think, but then again they probably ripped some open source repo off Github that had more features than necessary. Then proceeded to not turn any of those off, hack in their own features that aren’t very optimized because the board has like 4 gigs of storage and who cares. Finally bake in some firmware blobs for other components that probably allow them to figure out what sports you play or what pets you have so they can sell that info so other companies can show you ads.
Add all that together and you probably have a firmware image that’s like a gig.
Due to the hacked in features, they probably need to release patches frequently or add new “features” nobody asked for. It probably also has a phone-home “feature” so it can automatically update itself because you obviously need the “Defunkifier” setting on your washer right now.
It wouldn’t supprise me if it the amount of network traffic from something like a “smart” washer was a few gigs a day because it’s constantly looking for new updates or sending whatever other telemetry data it’s collected to the mothership.
IANAL; However Usually the contracts have a severability clause, meaning even if some parts of that contract are null and void the rest of it stands minus the parts that are illegal. Does that mean those clauses are also null and void depending on locality? Again IANAL, but I believe it’s pretty settled contract law at least in the US.
Yes that drive should work, as long as it’s not a SATA M.2 SSD it should be compatible with the Yellow.
