Yes, I'm in France, I contacted the Italian reseller for this company:

https://www.freedomwon.co.za/

I got this instead of a powerwall because 1) price per kwh 2) tesla will not let you install your own powerwall, you need to go through an installer and attract all those associated costs (which are significant) 3) better integration with a mixed solar equipment install and pv array 4) powerwall does not support an offgrid installation, or at least did not when I looked into it 5) has canbus to a BMS, you're never obligated to connect to the internet

Direct sunlight near equator would be a hard no for anywhere you want to work. Much rather have large/deep overhangs as this building has and most house designs integrate so you have indirect sunlight for most of the day. It will still be very very bright inside with ambient light refracted inward

My thanks for reporting it and this clarification

The lack of additional detail in this very sparse announcement really compromises users' ability to damage control effectively.

Would like to know if an installation is vulnerable if:

    1) If Applications, PDF is set to "Always ask"
    2) Ublock and/or privoxy are used
    3) Javascript is disabled
    4) pdfjs.previousHandler.alwaysAskBeforeHandling == false
    5) pdfjs.disabled == true
Also which advertising network and which Russian site would be helpful for blocklists.

Yep that works fine for my laptop. But I still need bluetooth tether for my android tablet. Sadly I still need that for essential apps (City Mapper, airline checkin apps, k9mail, chat secure)

Happy ubuntu phone user here (E4.5) will probably skip the E5 and wait for the next one if it's beefier in spec.

The only gripes I have with Ubuntu touch atm are:

1) Lack of USB or Bluetooth tethering 2) Lack of USB or Bluetooth tethering 3) Lack of USB or Bluetooth tethering 4) Lack of FDE

Am I missing something? Isn't their targetting of Xcode as massive as if they'd just announced they'd backdoored Gnu gcc?

I mean whether they've backdoored the regular version available to all or only those in use by specific developers, the implication (to me) would be that binaries/applications/etc produced would then be automatically backdoored or at very least weakened?

Disclaimer: I know zip about Xcode or dev in the Apple ecosystem

Agreed, though I doubt this is going to be a popular opinion. I've been steadily divesting myself of pretty much all Google products because of these sort of arrogant and obnoxious decisions.

First it was the won't fix VPN + countless other Android bugs, then repeatedly breaking Canvas in Chrome (why do I care about this? well Chrome auto-updates for 99% of users, so when they break canvas they're breaking sites) and not least the numerous platforms and products they introduced and then dropped despite vibrant & loyal user bases.

kvm/qemu + virt-manager, switched from vmware-server ages ago & never looked back.

Granted my needs are hardly enterprise scale, but may be worth you taking a look (if you haven't already)

It requires that the user trust a 3rd party, as bad a solution as using Tor over a VPN, also requires trust in whatever cryptography and infrastructure Privatoria has in place, not to mention trusting that Privatoria will not compromise WRT to identifying users.

It also adds nothing WRT functionality or in ease-of-use over the TBB which is far easier to setup & get running with.

I'm sure there's a market for your service out there, but it definitely ain't me :) Like I said, I hope you're contributing to Tor (either the project or network) as Privatoria is effectively just monetising their efforts.
