  Here is a link to the tool that video uses. This isn’t a case of someone compromising an existing smart bulb to do sketchy things, but rather someone installing this bulb covertly in your house and using it for penetration testing. the same could be accomplished by an arduino in the bushes or a guy with a white van out front.

  Also most smart bulbs use zigbee or zwave not wifi. The hub could be hacked i guess, but I have mine setup to only be accessible on the local network.

  Only cause you don’t go to your city council meetings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Buttcoin⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  it only continues to work, if money enters the game continually.

  If i invest in a company, they take that money and at least theoretically make something other people want and turn your money into more money. Periodically all the investors vote on whether they put that money back into the business and try to make MORE money or to split it up and give everyone some cash (dividends). The thought of that potential dividend payout makes people excited and makes the value of having access to that payout go up, and so people that no longer want to wait can sell their shares, making money and leave the system. In this way everyone can win, and everyone can continue with the same belief in the stocks future. the customer get something in exchange for their money, the company gets to grow, the cashing out investor gets money and the new investor gets an opportunity for eventually dividends or to cash out themselves.

  Bitcoin doesn’t work like this, there are no dividends at the end of day. OC got 8k from people who believed the market would go up. If both parties agreed with bitcoins trajectory then a transaction would not take place. In this case OC lost and the other investors won, but if OC and everyone like him had known bitcoin would go up then paradoxically bitcoins value would go down since no one could realize its value. Bitcoin will always yoyo forever siphoning money from those with less market knowledge to those with more market knowledge (or ability to manipulate it) until there aren’t enough people in it anymore. They aren’t making money, just moving it around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wireless EV charging hits 90% efficiency in Swiss real-world trials⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course it’ll be awhile before anything like that, this is just one engineering problem solved. But self driving within a confined space like a parking lot (especially a parking lot that doesn’t normally allow humans) is a lot easier to solve than the general case. I think you’d see adoption happen first with fleets of cars or buses, before it would become common place for just regular stuff.

  Physical connections are really rough, they require millimeter precision, Tesla has been trying to do this for ages

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wireless EV charging hits 90% efficiency in Swiss real-world trials⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not having a cable unlocks some interesting potential. Right now an inconvenience of driving an EV is that the chargers may be full and inconsiderate people may leave their car plugged in for longer than needed. Take away the need to plug in and add some self driving and you could have your car automatically charge then move itself to a regular spot once it’s done. Could make a setup like this a lot more simple.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that’s a deal breaker for me too. But the flexible and non-full time hours could make it an attractive side hustle or student job. Good luck getting anyone senor though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Libraries are cool⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah someone could potentially pick up the book and read steal it. The proper way to respectfully buy a book is to burn the book itself and stick the empty sleeve on display to give the publisher the ad they deserve.

  My oven already heats up in 2minutes? What is the problem with trays?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tabletop convection oven ⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Otoh tho 2 uses of the airfyer is almost certainly worse than a bigger single session with an oven. Personally I find meal prepping to be important way of saving time and energy alike.

  also in winter both waste no energy since whatever energy is not used for cooking ends up warming your house.

  I dint want to yuck anyone’s yum, but I dont have a lot of use for a tool that only has a benefit half the year when doing small batches.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US will complete TikTok deal ‘in coming days’ and control its algorithm, White House says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s even more ominous. From whta I’ve read the american version of tiktok will be entirely cut off from the international version. This means even people circumventing the algorithm will not have access to non-american opinions and will not be able to either cry for help or get outside (less biased) perspective. From a selfish non-american perspective I think it’s really good that the rest of the world will be isolated from the source of facism, but it sure does suck for americans and it also gives china what they wanted in the end. Trump did build a wall, a great firewall.
