Tráete o teu vello ordenador para darlle unha segunda vida. Podes vir no momento que queras e marchar cando o precises.
La experiencia de #Neopaquita es una muestra de que en el #Fediverso una comunidad es muy capaz de superar a la administración del servidor que la vio nacer, y tomar las riendas de su propio destino.
Para quien no esté al tanto del movimiento: la administradora de Paquita (paquita.masto.host) lleva ausente mucho tiempo, y ante su falta de respuesta la comunidad se ha organizado para montar un sucesor (neopaquita.es).
Los administradores en el Fediverso no somos tan imprescindibles como parece, al contrario de lo que ocurre en las redes centralizadas. Esta no es la primera vez ni será la última que una comunidad trasciende a su administración.
¡Larga vida a #Neopaquita! 😎

Not saying it was the case here, almost certainly not, but…I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tesla dealerships doing this to themselves in the coming months, committing insurance fraud because they expect the payout to be better than the resale value — and/or just because they’re trying to flee the sinking ship.

I continue to be terrified that some malicious actor would actually do this to all the Teslas in the country or the world, which would cause just extra extraordinary death and environmental damage. And I really hope that somebody instead executes some less life-threatening hack first (like say rendering them all undrivable and immobile), which would both tank the company and raise the alarm bell. Because the practical consequences of what somebody could do right now are simply terrifying.
I don't think tesla dealerships are like regular dealerships, ie, an independent company that sells products from another company and is left holding the bag if the supplier does something stupid.
I believe (but could be wrong) that they are are all owned by Tesla itself. And Tesla appears to already have committed fraud in clean car rebates in Canada, so I would expect insurance fraud here.

Watch Alfred Hitchcock's Groundbreaking, Six-Minute Trailer for Psycho (1960)
The early trailer for Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho above describes the film as 'the picture you MUST see from the beginning... or not at all!' That's good advice, given how early in the film its first big twist arrives. But it was also a policy:Colin Marshall (Openculture.com)

The only explanation for the government's egregious stances in today's hearing regarding its compliance with judicial order in the Venezuelan deportation case, J.G.G. v. Trump, is that Trump likes his chances in the U.S. Supreme Court.Mastodon
The other explanation besides what Feldman said is that maybe the people in charge are just colossal nincompoops.
This is not mutually exclusive with Feldman’s theory. Nor is it mutually exclusive with the fascists’ strategy working.
None of these problems are going to fix themselves.

The image depicts a scene from an animated series featuring a group of characters standing in front of a group of large, menacing dragons. The dragons are diverse in color and design, with a blue dragon on the left, a red dragon in the center, a black dragon with a long neck, a yellow dragon, and a green dragon on the right. The characters are dressed in various outfits, including armor and robes, and appear to be in a battle-ready stance. The background is dark, emphasizing the figures in the foreground. At the bottom of the image, there is text that reads, "Lemme tell you kids what it was like to fight Tiamat back in my day." The overall composition suggests a dramatic confrontation between the characters and the dragons.

The ESP32 "backdoor" that wasn't
This post refutes the claim that researchers found a "backdoor" in ESP32 Bluetooth chips. What the researchers highlight (vendor-specific HCI commands to read & write controller memory) is a common design pattern found in other Bluetooth chips from o…Xeno Kovah (Dark Mentor LLC)
I don't think your hypothetical "compromised userspace" scenario applies to the ESP32 in any practical usage. These are integrated chips (think "Bluetooth+WiFi+Arduino-on-a-chip") where the the user host code runs on the same chip, I think even in the same address space. So if that is compromised, the Bluetooth side is compromised regardless of the existence of the vendor commands.
In principle you could use an ESP32 as an external Bluetooth controller exposing HCI of course, and then the concern would apply, but I don't know why anyone would do that when dedicated Bluetooth chips designed to be used as HCI dongles exist. And then most of those have the same issues anyway...
> And then most of those have the same issues anyway...
The Bluetooth ecosystem is an unmitigated disaster.

Mmm, it finally looks like an electric van with the potential of a camper! Not much practical information here, but another article promises 400 km range, which is something. I doubt it's getting AWD though, and the price is still unknown.

I'm so happy to see this, I absolutely loved my Pebble Time Steel
... But I've also moved on. My Garmin watch is so much more capable and the only thing Pebble offers that I'd miss out on is the interface, which I much prefer over Garmin. Sadly I think I'll pass.
Habe deren Vorgänger beide auf #Kickstarter finanziert gehabt, das waren aber noch Zeiten, zu denen es die #AppleWatch noch nicht gab… In der Zwischenzeit habe ich mich zu stark an die Apple Healt, ApplePay etc. Integration gewöhnt, so das ein Umstieg vermutlich nicht in Frage kommt… Aber so eine Open-Source Smartwatch zum basteln wäre schon auch cool 😀

Just a snapshot of what's going with ICE in Chicago. Beyond the headline, one man, a U.S. citizen, was picked up a couple miles from my house, handcuffed, and held for over 10 hours before being released with no way home. No record of his arrest exists. How many stories like these are there nationwide?
