They mean to have a static single character on the screen and have it change with every keypress. For example, you type "a" and it shows /. You type "b" and it shows "|", etc.

Every time I see a comment on the state of Tahoe I look wearily at my current install of Sequoia. I'll have to update at some point. But I'll hold out as long as I can...

I see, thanks. I've definitely seen instances where an AP is broadcasting multiple SSIDs with different BSSIDs. I suppose I just thought nothing of it... but that makes sense.

Do most consumer APs/routers allow you to just change the MAC address on the fly? I don't think the ones I've owned have ever allowed that. But that would certainly be interesting to try (if you were somewhere without any other address interference that would tip it off)

The SSID (name, like the article mentions) is different than the bSSID (mac address of the access point), so I don't think it would be that easy to spoof.

I've wanted to make a project w/ a receipt printer for a little bit now. Does anyone have any good suggestions for printer models?

I don't like the baseless LLM accusations, but the code comment

> // Device wants updates! Store that push token like it's bitcoin in 2010

...really had me raising my eyebrows. Along with the mixed em-dash and hyphens and the AI generated images on the page.

I sure hope a few wipes with a paper towel is not good enough for most people who get feces on their hands
