I've seen on X that someone made a self driving car driven by Jev. I didn't check in details what it was about. I suppose you could give it some finite set of answers. Just wondering if someone tried it.

Anyone tried using Jev for fast AI robot decisions? Would it make sense?

> they exclude EU visitors

GDPR is applicable on EU citizens, disregarding where they browse from. So either they have to track whether you're an EU citizen/EU visitor or they track EU visitors when browsing from outside of EU. This makes it not GDPR compliant.

The main issue is that your privacy policy is most likely not mentioning this third-party tracking because you were not even aware of it. Who is going to be responsible? Who is going to be fined for not mentioning this tracking in _your_ privacy policy? You. (Your company)

What a great article!

The other day I added a fix so that the website would work in a PS5. Before that I didn’t even know that PS5 has a browser.

Please never do this again. It's insane that the 3.1GB download kicks off as soon as you open the page.

Censorship is not a solution. Instead, companies, whose messages are misleading, could pay a fine for their misleading message. Otherwise, you end up in 1984...sorry, I mistyped "UK in 2026".

You can even charge once a week or even less, depends on the usage.

You also don't have a gas station inside your apartment. Depending on which car you get, you could go charge it to charging station. I'm not saying this is instant process.

I'd love to hear more about this kind of attack being exploited in the wild. I understand it's theoretically possible, but...good luck! :)

You're guessing a cipher key by guessing typed characters with the only information being number of packets sent and the time they were sent at. Good luck. :)

THANK YOU!

I'm baffled about this "security feature". Besides from this only being relevant to timing keystrokes during the SSH session, not while typing the SSH password, I really don't understand how can someone eavesdrop on this? They'd have to have access to the client or server shell (root?) in order to be able to get the keystrokes typing speed. I've also never heard of keystroke typing speed hacking/guessing keystrokes. The odds are very low IMO to get that right.

I'd be much more scared of someone literally watching me type on my computer, where you can see/record the keys being pressed.

Archaeologist.dev Made a Big Mistake

If guided by this morality column, Archaeologist should immediately stop using pretty-much anything they are using in their life. There's no company today that doesn't have their hands dirty. The life is a dance between choosing the least bad option, not radically cutting off any sight of "bad".
