<p>Bluetooth operates in an unlicensed band. If any medical device relies on any unlicensed band for any life-critical thing that is horrible design.<p>I would absolutely support consequences to any device manufacturer if a death is caused by a jamming of unlicensed frequencies. (In my opinion, medical devices should be able to keep you alive in any jamming scenario if feasible. But using licensed bands is just bare minimum.)</p>

<p>Absolutely. Starlink outperforms ADSL anytime, and is better than most 4G fixed-wireless-access options. I use it for remote work regularly.<p>If there's fiber (like GPON) or reliable 5G available, then of course they win. Otherwise, Starlink is better.</p>

<p>I've not done proper scientific comparisons, but had to reimplement some games as websites to make them reliably perform on Raspberry Pi's we used embedded.<p>This is a bit of an apples to oranges scenario, because the algorithm and architecture is not exactly the same, despite the game functioning identical.<p>The main weak points of LÖVE that we hit were mainly around embedded video playback though, which is probably very well optimized in chromium.</p>

<p>I am bit disappointed they did not immediately jump on implementing the two straightforward recommendations:<p>> PROPOSED MITIGATION. A straightforward mitigation is to
have the client sign vault keys using the RSA private key in
the keyset before encrypting them with the RSA public key.<p>> PROPOSED MITIGATION. [...]
it would be easy for 1Password to prevent it entirely: the secret key can be used (with proper key derivation) to authenticate
the KDF parameters with a cryptographic MAC.<p>To be fair, these issues are not <i>really</i> impacting long-time users. I have hundreds if not thousands of items in my vaults, there's no way i'm not noticing if they dissappear (which would be a side effect of these attacks).<p>Overall, I think 1password can be proud of their architecture and product quality, but i'd love to see these improvements - and maybe something like a "signal verification code" for sharing?</p>

<p>If you are sensitive to these issues, unfortunately you need to go with a mainstream linux distribution and use near-default settings.<p>It's great that you can customize everything and use your own window manager, compositor, etc ... but these issues are the price you pay. It is unfair to compare this to Windows, where you don't even have these customization options.<p>Specifically for the network manager applet, it is not fixed because it's not really used anymore. GNOME Shell has it's own network selection menu that does not use the applet. It is the default on most systems, so users don't face this issue by default.</p>

<p>I've not quiet worked with <i>that</i> long LEDs, but i have experience with 10-20m length indoor installations.<p>For our standards, we supply the strips with power at both ends and at every 5m in-between. (So an LED is at most 2.5m away from a supply). Your supply needs may vary significantly depending on the type of LED you use, these numbers worked for us on WS2812B 60led/m at 5V rail voltage.<p>> For long runs, do you prefer distributed power injection vs multiple smaller PSUs vs a higher-voltage backbone + local regulation?<p>Either should work fine, but when you use multiple PSUs or regularors, you may need to match their output voltage suprisingly precisely to get good results. A pair of thick copper wires is often easier.<p>> For addressable strips (WS281x/SPI/DMX), what are your go-to fixes for signal integrity over distance (grounding, buffering, differential, level shifting)?<p>WS28xx has built-in "reclocking" as long as your longest distance between two adjacent leds is <1m, you are absolutely fine. Be aware though that the number of chained LEDs impact your maximum refresh rate, which is an issue for animating. For a 60Hz refresh rate, you can't have more than ~250leds.<p>SPI is a nightmare over any distance. DMX is great if you respect the standard in terms of cabling and unit loads, but it i'm yet to see a DMX-enabled individually addessable LED strip. A DMX universe would be limited to 170 rgb or 128rgbw leds anyway.<p>> engineering patterns that scale and don’t become a maintenance nightmare.<p>Use a projector or a TV instead :-D</p>

<p>3) The ICMP rejects <i>may</i> help, that I did not test.<p>1) I run services which give you different permissions depending on wheter you are local. Think a fileshare which is RW internally and RO externally. Yes, you could - and often should - do it differently, but IPv6 limitations should not be the reason that force you.<p>4) If a device does not work when connected to my network, but works on other, than this is my problem. Good luck explaining that it's a device bug to anyone. If they even understand it, they are not gonna care.<p>This specific case is only a practical issue, when you have multiple networks interconnected, because the "correct" local prefix is always closer than the erroneously cached one. Besides, with a public-addr-only* network, this is not an issue.<p>5) Yes, it is stupid, but nobody is going to blame apple for the issues it causes to <i>other</i> devices. It's a problem with the network!<p>I have no idea about the RA preference, i filter them away on the switchport. I may check sometime.<p>> As for the advertisement contents:<p>That is a misunderstanding. I meant to keep the network configuration simple in general, (like no ULAs, no splitbrain DNS, ...) not specifically the RA contents.<p>But now that you mention it:
Android <i>still</i> does not support DHCPv6, so the "Other configuration" flag is a funny one.
I also put the PREF64 address in the RA for the NAT64, because apple devices require it. Android uses the ipv4only.arpa dns lookup instead. Isn't it lovely how consistently they behave?<p>> As for DNS:<p>Well, we completely disagree on this for multiple reasons:
 - DNS over HTTPS and users connecting to other "privacy nameservers" or "adblocking nameservers" will not be solved by the low TTL
 - Also 60 seconds is not an acceptable time for outage when nothing is phyisically broken
 - That 60 seconds is often 300, because I have seen way to many recursors just extend TTL to a minimum of 5min. Again absolutely their fault and my problem.<p>[1] Just give them a "static lease" at the DHCP(v4) and it's never an issue again. Also, you should use DHCP-snooping (just like RA filtering) in switches all the time ;-)<p>*yes, there are still link-local addrs, but those are not used for any practical stuff, so it does not matter much.</p>
