Hacker Accesses Internal ‘Tile’ Tool That Provides Location Data to Cops
  • Aiming for a future in IT security, I find this branch of computer science somewhat ironic. You basically work to make your future work harder, i.e. you make things more secure, making your job of finding vulnerabilities even more difficult. Still a sucker for it, though

  • We need an open source smart tag. I recently researched how the landscape has changed and, as an android user, still nothing good in available. I'm not sure if I remember right, but Google's find my device was supposed to be open source or at least open spec? Might be worth looking into how easy it would be to code a lil firmware for this network myself. As much as I'd love a tag for things I cannot lose, the current options are throwing money away for no actual useful tracking (Samsung), forfeit your privacy (Tile, perhaps others), sell your soul (Apple).

  • Economics
  • For Android, CalcES. It's modelled after the Casio scientific calculators, so if you've ever used those, the app will come naturally to you. Absolute must-have if you want to calculate anything complicated on your phone.

  • The Internet is becoming genuinely unusable without an ad blocker
  • I experienced a shock watching my much younger cousin play mobile games on his phone. It's just constant unskippable ads next to all the banners. Back when I was young, mobile games were actually playable and ads were at most a voluntary option to get some in-game currency. In general, though, I have grown so accustomed to my Pi-hole (+ automatically connecting to a VPN when I leave my house so Pi-hole is always there) that I've either forgotten what life without it was like or completely missed the downfall of the modern internet.

  • A cool guide Types of plugs in the world
  • What's great is that it's also "backwards-compatible" with type E. Male type E plugs will usually also have ground connections for a type F, so you can plug it into female E and F sockets.

    Edit: In fact, looking back at the picture, that's exactly the kind of male plug shown for both type E and F. It works with both types. It has the hole for an earth prong, but it also has a contact on the bottom side if you look closely.

  • It just feels wrong
  • Can you explain? I don't see Plex. Does it require you to create an account outside of your self-hosted service? Does your instance delegate its login to some third party then?

  • Missing cold pizza
  • For real. I'm baffled every time when I go out and see the prices of "Crêpes". I can and do make ten or twenty pieces at home for the price of one. All the fun of flipping them included! (Since I'm Yuropean, it's what we just call pancakes. The same principle applies to American pancakes too, just with a few more ingredients.)

  • friend sent me a review of apple's ar headset. couldn't help myself
