How big threat do you think Intel ME is in reality, not in theory?
  • Just restrict network access (both in and out) with proper (trusted) hardware firewall. It's much safer that relying on disabling / configuring etc. You can't attack what you can't reach (directly or in reverse).

  • Stellantis pauses production of electric Fiat 500 due to poor demand | Reuters
  • Price for a much bigger Fiat 600 hybrid is 24k EUR, a Fiat 500e is 30k. You get less range, less space and at current electricity prices you pay more if you charge at home than you would with a if paid for gas for the 600.

    Why would anybody want that?! If they were 20k it might be interesting but they want 200% profit margins just because EV and then act surprised nobody wants it. Fuck them.

  • ADFC nimmt zur Neufassung der Elektrokleinstfahrzeuge-Verordnung Stellung - ADFC
  • Wow, ADFC hasst wirklich die eRoller. Schade dass man ein eRoller nicht einfach als andere Art von Fahrrad begrüßt. Ein 12kg eRoller ist also angeblich gefährlicher als ein 100kg eFahrrad welches mit >25km/h unterwegs ist? Hoffe mal das die Anpassungen wie vorgeschlagen eingeführt werden.

  • Indie dev baffled after acquaintance clones his game, puts it on Steam, and acts like it's no big deal: 'Happens every day homie'
  • He told his friend about the game. I don't think he would have done so if he copied or felt he had "stolen" anything. If he remade the game with this own code and assets then he put a lot of work into it and he can be proud of that (and telling his friend shows that he was). Comparing the game, i do think the clone is better made / more polished. So he really like the game and made a better version of it. I don't think that's a bad thing. IP has to be respected (can't just copy assets or code) but if that's the case then anything goes and that's a good thing, it gives us better games.

    Think PalWorld, for example, Nintendo, one of the most copyright abusing companies in the world, doesn't sue them and it's arguably a better game than anything Nintendo has come up with recently (no new / modern / good / 3D Pokemon games).

  • Valve Let Team Fortress 2 Rot And They Should Feel Bad About It - Aftermath
  • TF2 is no longer making a lot money for valve. Veteran players have all theirs special hats/cosmetics and no new player wants to invest time and money in a game so riddled with cheating bots. They could easily handle the situation. Detecting obvious cheating bots isn't hard but valve doesn't even try. Yes, there are community servers, like Uncle Danes, that are good at handling bots, but it's also a big burden for them to constantly ban/remove cheating bots.

    Valve is testing server side AI cheat detection in CS2. Let's hope that they will bring that to TF2 valve servers. Maybe don't VAC ban players being detected (AI is buggy), just remove them when detected and maybe disallow them from joining valve servers for a week.

  • Uncanny Valley
  • It would be a evolutionary benefit to fear / avoid any person that is behaving strangely in certain distinct ways. Could be a dangerous transmittable disease, i.e. rabies etc.

  • ‘Let yourself be monitored’: EU governments to agree on Chat Control with user “consent” [updated]
  • Basically all service providers in the EU will be forced to change their terms of service that all users will have to agree to in order to continue using the service. You will simply get an "updated terms service" notification with a link and one big "OK" button and nothing else. If you follow the link to the terms of service, somewhere deep down (like page 276 of 389) it will says "I agree to be monitored". You now have the choice to uninstall the app or to click "OK". It's basically everything. Obviously Google, Outlook, Yahoo etc and all the Chat apps (Signal, Telegram, Whatsapp) etc. So "Consent" is not really optional if you want to use any internet service, they can just pretend that it is so that can go on an uncontrolled unwarranted spying rampage against everyone and of course for everything.

  • A Federal TikTok Ban is a 'Misguided Detour' from Doing What’s Needed to Protect People’s Privacy and Safeguard National Security
  • China chill? The legitimate concern is that China is controlling the way certain messages are pushed ("the algorithms") to control topics that they have an interest in. I.e. pushing misinformation to drive support for Trump or Biden, as an example. That is not free speech or privacy, that is malicious interference and the the fear of the US doing this is the sole reason China has already banned similar US apps in China. That is also the reason they would rather be banned than to "give up the algorithms" (they certainly won't allow anyone to see how they push misinformation).

  • Hand aufs Herz, vermisst ihr reddit?
  • Nein, ich bin froh dass ich weniger Zeit mit Informationsmüll verschwende. Allerdings finde ich bei technischen Fragen immer noch viele reddit Artikel. Ich gehe bei Google dann immer auf "..." -> Erweitert -> Cache -> Text only. Damit kann ich den Inhalt trotz IP Block sehen und zwar ohne Werbung und ohne Reddits "engagement" zu erhöhen.

  • Wieviel Aufwand und Kosten entstehen durch eine Mastodon-Instanz?
  • Man kann es mit einer $6Monat DigitalOcean Instanz machen (25GiB) und ggf. noch für $5/Monat 250 GiB Storage hinzufügen. Man braucht natürlich auch ein Domain (<$20/Jahr?). Erforderlich: SSL Zertifikate per Let's Encrypt und eigener Mailserver mit SPF, DKIM & DMARC.

  • Suche Master slave mit Einschaltverzögerung
  • Empfehle ein RaPi mit Zigbee2MQTT + NodeRed (und ggf. VictoriaMetrics + Grafana für Datenseicherung und Auswertung). Dann einfach z.B. zwei Ikea Zigbee Steckdosen darüber steuern (ausgelöst von einem Zigbee Lichtschalter + oder Ikea Taster etc). Könntest auch ein Schalter wie diesen verwenden um zu erkennen wie viel Energie (Watt) verbraucht wird und dann Zeitverzögert den Ikea Switch einschalten etc. Home Automation ohne Cloud macht echt Spaß.

  • VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it
  • You get used to it. It helps to have a good graphics card so that the frame rate is high enough. I am sad many good games don't support VR. I.e. Start Citizen, Cyberpunk 2077, etc. Yes, there are mods for it, but it should be supported natively (if mods can do it, why can't the developer?). It is just so much more immersive to be able to look around naturally and see stereoscopic.
