Most broadcast traffic for IoT stuff is mDNS or SSDP.

I feel like we could build a custom reflector/firewall that would make selective isolation possible.

I’m not following how the public IP address provides value without collaboration. I can listen to mDNS and gather a ton of info about devices you own. But how would knowing your public IP address inform me about which devices you own?

Time to develop an open source tarpit for these types of devices. Return data endlessly about fake network devices to overwhelm them and obfuscate your real devices.

That’s where they want to be. Your laptop isn’t interesting. You own two thermostats, an EV charger, two Samsung TVs, an LG, etc etc. The LG is watching Netflix. That’s the good stuff.

I've had good luck aiming for easier targets. Android APKs, Java, and .NET binaries are usually easy to reverse engineer with AI and without any advanced tooling.

Lab Scope / Meter 2-channel Bandwidth 3MHz Sample Rate: Up to 6 million samples/sec Scale range 0-100mV to 0-400V Sweep rate 50 microseconds to 20 seconds (5 min in GMM mode)

It’s slow but it’s an oscilloscope. It graphs electrical measurements over time. They sold CRT scopes on carts for years and years.

Maybe you should move the goalposts and demand FFT or higher bandwidth.

Most people are a bad judge of quality. They just don’t know the difference between a good and bad electrician. Even more obvious stuff, like painting, I find people can’t judge quality.

So you end up with a ton of unreliable reviewers online.

These days I take recommendations from people who are picky and when I can see the results myself.

Most importantly if the water table of the surrounding soil is high enough, it will lift an empty pool, even concrete. At most you would lower the water level below the lights. You’re likely getting wet either way.

In the US, the used market for Teslas is quite strong, even into the high miles. I recently purchased a used EV and found the Teslas weren’t discounted enough from new for my liking. They moved quickly too, except for the ones with salvage titles.

I ended up getting an off-lease Hyundai EV because they tanked in value in part due to their ICCU failures, which are now covered under an extended warranty.

Atopile is ditching their cli. They're going the wrong direction.

It seems to me the first problem with AI in PCB design is that there isn't much in the way of machine friendly interfaces for the work. I watched Codex last night generate 3d renderings in Kicad to check the layout.

Better hurry up. The frontier labs are making their latest coordinated push for regulatory capture.

Sadly service manuals aren’t commonly sold anymore and you need a subscription to a website to access factory service manuals.

It’s a shame, I use to buy the service manual when I bought the car.
