Interesting idea, thanks for sharing.

Some feedback from using:

- It said to use amex blue cash for 3% back at costco, but costco only accepts visa

- It said to use amex blue cash for 3% back at harbor freight but this card only gets 1% at this store, the BofA customized cash rewards (added to my wallet) is the only card I have found that gives 3% back on home improvement stores

- It said to use amex blue cash for 3% back at BJ's, even though the BJ's rewards card is in my wallet which gives 5% back at this store

I remember figuring this out when I needed to buy a new key for my Audi and the dealer wanted $200 to program it. https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a8-s8-d2-platform-discussio... the software's available online, all you need to do is get access to the OBD port and you can make your car trust a new key!

I’m not sure if you are using the qualifier “good” to exclude the nest, but it can work on a two wire system (it can siphon enough power to work without making the relay close)

I was at a financial startup ~ 2012 and remember getting a couple of these to play with. They came in the form of 1U servers (HP I think) running RHEL5 that each needed a public IP that was open to bloomberg. I think the client app was windows only at that time, I wonder how much has changed

The crux of it is that competition is necessary though. Do cable companies in the US have any competition? I'd argue they do not

It sounds like this is more or less equal to android's "ADB"?

> “There are several ways someone could do this. An attacker could change the BIOS configuration (for example, with a use of a Flash programmator) when they have physical access to the equipment during manufacturing, storage or usage.

It has to be specifically enabled (with physical access)

I'm surprised to see this is the only comment mentioning leaving a bowl of food out 24/7. This is how it's done at every shelter I have volunteered at (and how I do it at home) - the cats should always have access to water and some form of food. The wet (canned) food is what you have to be more careful with because the cats will compete for it.

It's public if you poke around enough, I wrote up a little blog post: https://medium.com/@chairface/how-to-steal-an-audi-71d53cb5d...

you'll just need the contents of the 95040 eeprom on your ECU - you can dump it from the OBD2 port with various tools

I think it means Apple considers their secure enclave "secure"
