Thousands of hacked TP-Link routers used in years-long account takeover attacks
  • Ya know this is a really good point and whether the network switch is managed, or unmanaged.

    I've never delved into the black magic of playing with a managed switch before but your comment makes me eager to have a play with one now.

  • Gsam battery monitor has been delisted?
  • Indeed, and is something that not only irks me with newer apps like you say but is also something we have at work with all the HMI / touchscreens.

    They're just now icons with no labels or anything so trying to figure out what some of them do is a game of guesswork 🀬

  • Oops, Apple approved another illegal streaming app
  • The French are very defendant when it comes to VLC or other open sauce apps. I'd usually bring the Willy joke out but I'm with them on this one.

  • Thousands of hacked TP-Link routers used in years-long account takeover attacks
  • edit Gli-net seems nice, but i'm a stickler of using a WAP separate from the router. I know I pay more.

    It's exactly why I bought her two of them. One their main router and the other in AP mode ;)

  • Thousands of hacked TP-Link routers used in years-long account takeover attacks
  • As opposed to, TP-Link, Cisco(Linksys) and other off the shelf routers it seems some will only go for brands with their own proprietary firmware?

    I grabbed that Xiaomi router on the premise it has OpenWRT, but I'd like to see Ubi / Unifi routers put under the same scrutiny instead of just lumping a brand name as a no-go.

    What's your recommendation?

  • Never used them pal, but seen them used in Enterprise environments?

    Something I've found on a SOHO environment though and what I bought a family member?

    Gli-Net mini routers. They come with OpenWRT as a base and then lipstick it with a nice interface. But as always, YMMV

  • Thousands of hacked TP-Link routers used in years-long account takeover attacks
  • No doubt, and I would really love someone with more knowledge than me to poke into why that was going on (*edit: for clarity, this behaviour stopped after installing OpenWRT and is the stock Mi firmware that causes this)

  • Streaming music server for YouTube
  • This reminds me of some peeps saying using Newpipe is "(app) piracy". I wholly disagree with them to this day.

    If a website, which YouTube.com is and allows a client to connect and use its services it isn't, piracy per se.

    Much like because I have a UK IP address I can hit up get_iplayer and use that service which IMO should be the norm.

    e: apologies for not been helpful, I'm just ranting.

  • Thousands of hacked TP-Link routers used in years-long account takeover attacks
  • I've had no end of trouble with routers and ones you should choose to be sure of.

    The ones where you can flash OpenWRT seems the only choice if you want some semblance of security. But even my current Xiaomi router with stock firmware creates hash mismatches using apt to download things, and I don't 100% know with confidence that using OpenWRT on it instead is keeping me right.

  • Gsam battery monitor has been delisted?
  • Innit.

    It's silly, and they're nuking devs apps to make them update for the sake of "being active" even thou their app is still like Ronseal and does what it says on the tin, even after all these years and works just fine.

    Might look like Gingerbread but I don't give a fugg since I don't even look at it and love that app.

  • Gsam battery monitor has been delisted?
  • Sucks, I recently just noticed one of my most used apps SMBSync2 got yoinked but thankfully have it installed still, but I also noticed that APKmirror doesn't even have a copy of it like it does for GSAM :/

  • β€˜Giant bronze poop’ statue β€˜honoring’ those involved in Jan. 6 riot appears on National Mall
  • Yeah, I'm a Britbong and apparently we're regarded for knowing satire when it stares us in the face.

    And we've also had the simple truth that the Germans at one point were terribad at it but are now nailing it down, especially when you come to the above users calling it "satire".

    It's a shit joke in very bad taste no matter where you're from or whatever political spectrum you're aligned to. Made me giggle to be honest, and especially so how you downvoted for not getting lel joke.

    Tally ho'

  • Maintaining a level of anonymity.
  • Exactly, that's why anything I do with my real name is on my wholly separate profile / device / email.

    It's a boring computer that has my real name on it.

  • Google will just add your new account to your profile and keep right on selling your shit.

    This is exactly why I used a pseudonym from the outset.

  • Coca-Cola Recalls Its Popular Zero Sugar Drink Because It Contains Full Sugar
  • Thing is though there's around 12-24 bottles per case depending on the size of the bottles.

    Our fastest filler here at work does 36,000 bottles an hour, so you definitely won't be getting 13,000 cases in 30 seconds I can assure ya ;)

  • 5th Circuit rules ISP should have terminated Internet users accused of piracy
  • I've had a couple of vapid emails from VirginMedia for one (Animal Kingdom) of many TV shows I've downloaded over the years.

    Shame they didn't send it by snail mail, could've got some free toilet paper out of them then.

    Discord alternatives?
  • Some groups have allegedly used the β€œ901” tag in their usernames to identify themselves, raising alarms among officials and parents alike

    What does this mean? I can't seem to find info on what a 901 tag even is.

  • Mobile network not available
  • If you can get someone else's SIM card to see if it's a carrier issue, and I know factory resetting sucks but it is the easiest way to discount a hardware issue :/

    Good luck!

  • Google Drive started killing third-party apps: End of the Road for Google Drive in Transmit
  • Aye, I've given my old NAS enclosure to a family member and they've never been so happy having the arrrr stack running on it and I think it's like magic to them still.

    However one step at a time and I'll get them off Google Photos (I've plonked Immich and Jellyfin on their bedroom n100 box) and Drive if it kills me. Screw this bullshit of paying to store our data only for them to double down and invade their privacy.

    I seem to be suffering from the above bug

    https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/11139

    but it only seems to pervade if I'm using Tailscale to VPN home to my exit node at a family members house?

    Is Google / YT blocking the use of VPN's here / anyone else experiencing this?
