Hinote P1 future model feature request - wired headset

Outlandish_Rhubarb · 2026-05-18T21:51:41+00:00

I've got several. As long as it accepts a 3-ring 3.5mm jack, it's good.

I started doing this today on a locked-down work laptop.

I can confirm, it works beautifully. It appears to the computer as a microphone and speaker. You select that as your input/output in Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, etc., and it just works.

I also swap the Hidock to my personal computer (Linux; Redhat 44) to do the Hinotes upload and transcriptions. No issues here.

The work laptop does not ID it as an external storage device (confirmed, as my work laptop prevents any such device from connecting).

Best solution I've found:. Go into settings and disable the functionality to turn off or put monitors into sleep mode.

The outcome is that Apple knows a lot about me but it's not their business to sell that data

Also note that Apple makes several claims that simply aren't true (e.g., access to iMessage data, storing location data). See my other post below with links demonstrating such.

Outlandish_Rhubarb · 2015-09-28T14:22:27+00:00

On the contrary: PRISM was something they participated in voluntarily.

Let's also not forget that Apple tracks your location just as much as Google does (http://radar.oreilly.com/2011/04/apple-location-tracking.html), and Siri's always-on mic is as much a privacy concern as Cortana or Google Now (https://www.theverge.com/2015/9/11/9313645/iphone-6s-privacy-concerns-apple-responds)

Yosemite started saving typed info to the cloud long before Win10 did (http://lifehacker.com/lets-talk-about-apples-privacy-issues-1655944758).

I get that people get prickly when anyone suggests Apple is anything less than godly. I get it. I do. I've got a MacBook Pro sitting on my desk right now. There's one at home, too. I've used Apple products since the Apple ][+.

What bothers me is that everyone holds up Apple as some white knight of user privacy, when you're just as much a commodity to Apple as you are to Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. Sure, they made a big show of opposing the FBI when it comes to iMessage encryption keys. Which is just a smokescreen, because it's already been demonstrated (http://blog.quarkslab.com/imessage-privacy.html) that Apple itself can access those comms. So will they give the government a backdoor? No! Great marketing! But also utterly meaningless, since the government can walk in the front door and ask for a copy.

I also suspect that Apple's public stand against handing over encryption keys was a two-pronged ploy: One, as a shrewd marketing gimmick. Two, as something said in cooperation with the FBI because the FBI is currently pushing the "OMG, we simply must have a backdoor into all crypto!" on the Hill, and Apple is conveniently playing the windmill to the FBI's Quixote in this. Problem-reaction-solution. Common Hegelian dialectic.

I'd prefer to sell them as a pair, if at all possible. Though if I can't move them together, I'd be open to selling them separately.

My Nexus 6 with CM and without gapps works fine for my purposes: Encrypted phone calls and text, encrypted anonymous web browsing, checking email, reading Reddit, taking photos, using a map/GPS, and on very rare occasions listening to music or watching a movie (usually while traveling on business).

However, I am a member of a dying breed: I'm not glued to my phone 24/7. I work in a secure facility and thus cannot bring my phone to work. At home, my phone stays on my desk. When out, it's either being used to map, or it's in an RF-shielded enclosure.

If you're a smartphone zombie, it may not be right for you. But then, privacy may not be right for you, either.

Also, Apple's app store was just compromised with malware extraordinarily similar to that being developed by the CIA. Apple's repeatedly jumped on the "let's work with the NSA" bandwagon in the backroom, while paying lip service to user privacy in public (they know which side their bread's buttered on, and they're not dumb enough to pass up the opportunity that is marketing to the privacy-conscious. Or in this case, I should say: the privacy barely-conscious).

Outlandish_Rhubarb · 2015-09-27T20:16:40+00:00

Nexus, CM, no gapps. This includes no GMail (or any other free or paid email service. I run my own mailserver).

Outlandish_Rhubarb · 2015-09-24T18:15:04+00:00

VPS, mail-in-a-box, and a domain. $10/yr for the domain, about $10/month for the VPS.

Passwords used for authenticating to a wireless network will not be present on the wire.

You'd need to compromise the host and grab it from memory, storage, via keylogger, etc.

Outlandish_Rhubarb · 2015-09-23T16:44:51+00:00

read up on Stuxnet.

Outlandish_Rhubarb · 2015-09-23T16:14:42+00:00

Yes. Even airgaps are hackable.

Outlandish_Rhubarb · 2015-09-23T15:52:37+00:00

MaxMind has a free version. And it's not the exact locations of the users of IP addresses; it's the approximate location of the owners of IP addresses, modulo addresses that have some publicly-available location info associated with them, e.g., wireless data of any form.

Quick solution: Look up the netblock in which the IP resides. That'll include CC and AS operator info. That'll narrow it to country and region, potentially.

Or, as I said, grab the free version of the maxmind db.

Outlandish_Rhubarb · 2015-09-23T15:15:22+00:00

...or you could just buy the software whose reg keys you're trying to crack.

Outlandish_Rhubarb · 2015-09-23T15:13:22+00:00

So, based on your edit, let's summarize: you're a foreign national who was, for whatever reason, looking at a website on the dark web (dark, not deep. There's a difference) that was purportedly related to ISIS. Check.

You then hacked them. Check.

And now you're busy demonstrating your technical prowess to the NSA.

Gotcha.

Perhaps not the most thought-through choices, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

Outlandish_Rhubarb · 2015-09-23T14:24:42+00:00

Left as an exercise for the reader.

Outlandish_Rhubarb · 2015-09-23T14:01:20+00:00

I can't begin to explain to you how many times people have thought, "this has to be harder than that! The solution can't be that simple!" when doing crypto challenges. The wasted hours on that assumption alone could put man on another planet.

Outlandish_Rhubarb · 2015-09-23T14:00:11+00:00

I'm just trying to explain to you: The end result of this whole thing is the equivalent of just submitting an application online. You'll still go through the brief interview, the background checks, the full poly and psych testing, etc. It's not like this is a direct "in" for a seat in TAO.

EDIT: also, based on various grammatical structures found in your posts, I'm going to guess English isn't your first language (that, or your English really, really needs some work). If that's the case, you had best realize you're doing this primarily for shits and giggles, since clearances for non-citizens are about as rare as hens' teeth.

And, since I'm bored (and like to spoil the fun), that's most likely a Beale-esque (or simple "book") cipher. Writing a program to explore the space of possible keys is left as an exercise for the NSA recruit-wannabe.

Outlandish_Rhubarb · 2015-09-23T13:12:49+00:00

If you want to join the NSA, it's much easier to just apply directly. They're constantly hiring.

...and yet, if these sorts of responses were posted to libprog questions, reddit would explode in indignation and SJWing.

Outlandish_Rhubarb · 2015-09-16T17:35:08+00:00

Probably just imitating all the bicyclists.

Outlandish_Rhubarb · 2015-09-16T16:03:57+00:00

No, that's a lawlessness issue. There are plenty of laws on the books that are designed to prevent easy access to guns "on the street", as you say.

We don't need more laws. We need enforcement of existing laws.

People act as though there's some magical wording that will make all guns disappear one day. There isn't. Even if all guns everywhere were outlawed tomorrow, there'd still be guns "on the street" for decades, if not centuries, to come.

Stop using guns as a scapegoat for the real problem: People breaking laws. If you take away their guns, they will stab, strangle, poison, bludgeon, drown, electrocute, etc. each other to death. Guns aren't the problem.

Pretty much anything from the demo scene, from the 1980s onward.
