Also tons of AI-generated slop. Fr example the "shields do not protect from capacitive coupling" part is absolutely nonsense. Ground reference jumping, within reason, is totally OK for RS485. The disturbances do not accumulate. While DC/DC converters _do_ have fast switching transients, those are blocked by input/output capacitors and do not appear on the cables, unless those converts are defective.

Also, the title seems to lie. Author tried original cable and one more "OEM cable", and that's it.

Worst kind of AI slop.

I strongly suspect a measurement artifact.

They also had 2 small kids, so lots of more expensive resort activities could not be done.

No wonder they left $33k out of $40k unspent, this is as non-representative as it gets.

"Reading another user’s files" won't work, "Writing as another user" won't work, "Local impersonation via SUID binary" won't work either. You need root to bind to low port, and if you have it, there is no need to mess with NFS.

It's not to say that NFS is a secure filesystem by modem means - if there are clients where attacker has root access, they can pretend to be any user, and try to spoof IP to bypass access lists. But if used in the circumstances it was designed for - a secure network with only trusted computers connected - it's actually not that bad.

breaking news! If you completely control a computer, you can completely control a computer! This means doing anything the computer can do, such as logging in with passkeys, and using "passkey sync" functionality to sync passkeys.

> The helper gets on with the job. Moving quietly through your home, doing the work. Removing mounting plates, screwing in replacements with a cordless drill, testing each -- beep -- one, moving the ladder, sweeping cobwebs and dust away. All silently, with nary a peep out of them.

... until they eventually come to the alarm that was mounted near the light. The electrician did not know this, but the light was installed incorrectly, and its wires ere running just under the place where the new alarm was going to be installed.

When the helper installs the alarm, the screw goes in - and there is a loud snap and buzz, light blinks a few times and starts glowing really dimply. The helper ignores it - they were only told to install fire alarms. They put in the second screw and move on. Installing the smoke detector is a bit tricky, with the light out, strong smell of smoke and mounting plate deforming from heat, but the helper manages to do it - as they are pretty smart! Helper feels really good now that all the assigned tasks are done. They go to find the owner, but looks like he stepped out. No matter, helper will send the bill electronically for the job well done.

Good, this should have been done long time ago. And good for Apple for not cooperating.

Once this goes in, I'd expect to see 89%, which is zero nines. (I'd like to say, "a new low!", but sadly we've had this before)

Instead of trying to buy into that, I found out that individual tools are much nicer with. Minicom for fancy conversations. Custom scripts/picocom/tio for basic ones. Perl (later python) to script. zmodem to transfer files (or xmodem if the memory size is extremely limited).

But the biggest replacement is SSH of course. For the last 20 years, most of the devices which have serial ports also have Ethernet access. Use serial port to bootstrap, and then switch to SSH. "dropbear" is tiny and has very few dependencies, and yet gives a vastly superior experience compared to old serial terminal: multiple connections, file transfer, scriptability, etc...

There are plenty of evidence that this is the case: File size is too big for merge link, but just right for the actual prompt. Many other AI systems store chats in JSON files. Google poster says outright, "When you save a chat in Google AI Studio, it is stored in Gdrive as a JSON file" [0]

Bitu79, if you want people to pay attention to you, you'll need to show some actual evidence that the file does not contain the prompt. Just repeating the sentence over and over does not work, show the facts. The JSON file with pointer is small, and does not grow when you add more messages to chat. The JSON file with chat is much bigger and will increase the size when you post more messages. You can also open the file and show the contents to user.

If you claim that there is no chat in JSON, contrary to what Google has, prove it!

It is much, much easier to do things when central server is around. This is especially true for embedded devices which have limited resources and cannot be updated easily and safely. Close all the incoming ports and the chances of your device joining the botnet fall dramatically. Keep that port open and you'll see yourself mentioned all over the net in the context of "horrible security, don't buy".

The only hope is multi-vendor systems which connect to central hub - zigbee, matter, etc.. - but sadly they not very popular, as wifi is everywhere, access is cheap (the chip can found for under $1 today), and hub-based are harder to get started with.

If you want to be safe from phishing, there is only one advice which is always good: don't enter confidential info if you did not initiate contact. Don't tell your credit card numbers to people who called you, find their phone number somewhere and call back. Don't enter your bank credentials after clicking the ad (or scanning QR code) - open a new tab and enter bank's URL (or use bookmarks).

Again, this is normal if you are interactively working on software and can fix any problems you see. It is only problematic if you do what OP says, and make it on cron, daily and unattended.

It is so easy to look at file size. If it's a link, it will be less than a kilobyte. If it's actual chat, it would be few kilobytes long, the longer the chat, the bigger the file. And yet there is nothing about file sizes in any of the messages.

Raises questions about competency of the person making those posts. Why are they making those crazy posts when in reality there is nothing untoward going on?

This picture [0] from post ("Toasted Wires") shows the temperature damage. As you can see, the insulation damages was only at the very end of wires. Most of the wire are intact, meaning only the very end heated up. The other picture [1] shows the same
