<p>TL;DW: Some LG PC monitors (increasing models - also older models) auto install adware via Windows Update as soon as they are connected. Additionally, LG TVs secretly listen in and send pretty much all data back home.<p>Thanks for the link. I will make sure never to buy any LG product ever again.<p>Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to buy a TV (65"+) that isn't a "smart" TV (where smart == exfiltrating data and/or showing ads). If anyone has any recommendations, I would be grateful.</p>

<p>So from a quick read, it seems it installed "atomic-lockfile", "js-digest" or "lockfile-js" from npm. A list of affected packages is here [1].<p>Didn't find any quick info on how to check a system, so I ran the following command to find foreign packages and some date related infos:<p>> pacman -Qmi<p>Check the output against the list of affected packages.<p>Then, you can also grep for those files in various locations:
> grep -rl "atomic-lockfile" / --include="package.json" --include="package-lock.json"<p>> grep -rl "atomic-lockfile" ~/.npm 2>/dev/null<p>> grep -i "atomic-lockfile" /var/log/pacman.log 2>/dev/null<p>Don't know if the packages delete themself after they run. I just wanted to provide some basic commands, as all the other infos I found didn't provide any help.<p>[1] <a href="https://md.archlinux.org/s/SxbqukK6IA" rel="nofollow">https://md.archlinux.org/s/SxbqukK6IA</a></p>

<p>I'd recommend that you try and ask this in a more specialized forum (e.g. BGG [1]). Also, if solo playable board games is a must - this drastically reduces the amount of games.<p>Maybe also consider card games (like Solitaire)?<p>[1] <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/" rel="nofollow">https://boardgamegeek.com/</a></p>

<p>AFAIK most cars with electric parking breaks need to be set into a special maintenance mode either via OBD-2 or a special in-car procedure to be able to change the pads. Otherwise the breaks Pistons just push together and leave no room for the new pads. At least that is what my 2015 VW would do. But every shop around here has that Software or knowledge.<p>So Hyundai just upped the game and put some subscription into their service software. Definitely not a consumer friendly move, as changing pads and even disks is not that hard.</p>

<p>So far, I have tried Qt directly with C++ and python bindings (pySide6, pyQt), where C++ is definitely the lighter option.<p>If you consider python bindings, you could also look into JavaFX. It has the advantage of native images or the option of a fat jar containing all platform dependant FX modules. But the resulting files won't be small.</p>

<p>A new semi-passive 850-watt fully modular PSU is around EUR 130, the Noctua fan around EUR 30.<p>I guess if you know electronics and how to safely handle the PSU internals, the risk of injury is low, but I personally would not risk it for EUR 100.<p>Also, if the only problem was the noisy fan, I guess selling it used would have returned most of the investment, leaving him with like EUR 50 in added cost. Compared to the price of a modern gaming PC, that's nothing (also avoiding not risking your life).</p>

<p>> Ask to put it in a separate room...<p>Yes, that's what I had to do for meetings that the organizer thought were important enough. Also, in very sensitive areas special rooms with anti-eavesdropping gear are common [1].<p>> I could turn it off entirely, but what if someone needs to call me for an emergency?<p>But you would also not be reachable if the killswitch is active ;)<p>Don't get me wrong, I think a killswitch can make a lot of sense for highly sensitive areas (R&D, politics, military, ...), but I don't think Fairphone 6 are the devices that target this demographic and thus should not include one. Furthermore, current "offline" measure seem to mitigate the problem okay enough to not need such a killswitch - else we would already have phones with such features. And lastly, killswitches can only mitigate parts of the features modern spyware [2] implements and does not protect from simple human-based errors like the United States government group chat leaks [3].<p>[1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitive_compartmented_information_facility" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitive_compartmented_inform...</a>

<p>The easiest solution to such strict privacy needs is to not carry the phones. But then again you also need to worry about other means of espionage.</p>
