Yes

Edit: landscape seems to be a work around for me though.

Maybe you could like block the river just a bit to build up like a reservoir.

Would love to know how you use it as a sip gateway, been looking for this functionality. Not with Bluetooth.

I'm a novice when it comes to this, so apologies for the dumb question. Can you explain how you manage the taro plant? Like how can it grow in a pot completely submerged then be brought inside? Can taro be both grown partially submerged and out of water? Thanks for the info.

yeah, I had an older rpi and I did that for a bit, but I couldn't get scanning work on it well or the way I wanted, plus the older PI was super slow. I'll probably revisit this in the future. However this whole thread had me track down some drivers for the printer and now it works. Seems like what HP now does on their site when you select windows 10 or 11 or even 7, is just say, windows update has the driver, you're good. However, if it's not "officially" approved by MSFT then its not in the windows update as is the case with this printer. So I found some raw bundle of drivers, extracted them and windows was able to manually locate the driver file. I just want HP to host that file so that I know it's trustworthy, and honestly, why shouldn't they host their own driver files?

I have an HP deskjet f4210 and it doesn't work with windows 11 at all. Gave my wife a new laptop with windows 11 and there are exactly 0 drives anywhere to be found for it. Can't even re-use windows 10 drivers. However, they will run you through about 5 different tools and HP accounts and personal information gathering while trying to "find" drivers for it. Sure, I get it, super old printer, but it works just fine for what we need it for, why upgrade just cause we are using a new OS?

on my carbon x1 I had to use fwupdmgr to update the Prometheus fingerprint device firmware. Additionally the firmware that was "current" in the repo didn't work and I had to allow using the beta or experimental version. can't remember exactly the steps I took to enable the beta firmware, this was almost 2 years ago as well, so it could be that that version is the now the correct latest version in the repo. after that I just installed fprintd and followed those instructions. But for sure it didn't work for me until I updated the firmware. good luck.

Agreed, the k8 operator is terrible. I deployed it at version like .4 and there is 0 upgrade path to the current version. I'm stuck with basically doing a completely new deployment and migrating all of the data from the buckets, ACLs, users, etc.

thank you for this. I looked at this a while ago and forgot about it, I think I'll have a look again.

Just curious if maybe you or anyone else knows. Are alternatives OS's such as lineage, postmarketOS, copperheadOS, etc. safe from this exploit?

This interestingly made me think, I wonder if there is the opposite of this. Capture those signals to a capture card to avoid HDCP or the likes. I realize there are HDCP splitter/strippers but maybe one day those don't work, who knows.

I'm actually not asking this tongue and cheek but do fuel cells weigh significantly less when they are empty? I would think that a hydrogen fuel cell would functionally weigh the same empty or full, so itd be the same issue as batteries, no?

In addition to this, I still don't understand how you are going to get physical access to said body cam, am I missing something?
