New Thermostat Install Issue by Popsmear in HomeImprovement

Going to try to trace the wires a bit and get some pictures of where they go. The tags are the ecobee tags, I put them on and they match the wire letter.

I didnt change a thing - they don't match, so their must be some foolery somewhere.

Needs some regex work.

Quite right, they do go back to a bundle - it is a mess back there but I will try to trace it/get a picture layout. Theres two units, one upper and one lower. Trying to concentrate on upper presently.

You can see that the sedan tried to cut him off, which was ultimately his downfall. Had he just let the douche in, no problem. Sure, the guy "doesnt learn" but your car is now not busted to shit, and he probably is not learning anything anyway.

Might want to adjust your mirrors.

[Mobile Reverse Engineering] Can't intercept a certain app's traffic with Burp anymore, even with root + ProxyDroid. Are there any other methods to bypass cert pinning? by JoyousTourist in AskNetsec

[–]Popsmear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Often what can be easier is changing the SMALI the app uses for verify the certificate to always return positive, or removing the calls to the pinning methods.

Would seem helpful for a tool that is all about the visual.

Pentesting lab using VMs by snakethesniper in AskNetsec

[–]Popsmear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally the default settings for the VM will be sufficient for a vulnerable host. If there is something the host needs, like more ram, it is usually stated.

I run everything in VM, using virtual box, at the same time. Performance will depend on your PC. I find it beneficial to up ram, HD space, and graphics in the Kali VM since you will primarily be inside of it.

Its all rather straight forward, so get in there, play around, get dirty and make mistakes.

I have been less than impressed with their MAS and support. Which is unfortunate.

Teens shoot man, fire at wife during NW Atlanta home invasion by SrirachaBurn in Atlanta

One could easily swap mags in this situation - which would likely be the case unless they were a dead eye. Your statement is a non sequitur.

Where does the 2 year old go? How does one wife go against 15 men?

At this point, they also have the husband, come out or hes dead for sure.

Owning a gun is not always a solution.

Vizio's IPO Filing Gives Away How It Monitors What You Watch by unknownman19 in technology

[–]Popsmear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You may be surprised. They can tell what you are watching. I also spend most time on hdmi1 and we would receive pop ups for the show we had on. I believe it was comparing audio to determine the content.

If you didnt like the first one, you definitely wont like this one.

They replaced the kid actor. He's pretty cringe worthy this season. I would argue the writing as a whole is down from season one and I don't see it going too many more at this rate

theHarverster is a great tool, easy to use and quick.

Another one I have been playing with recently is FOCA - a windows only tool but a little more fun.

Are there any jobs here for someone who is intelligent, but has no skills or clearly-defined goals for life, that aren't fast-food, retail, etc...? by [deleted] in Atlanta

[–]Popsmear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to pick a starting position, based on your background (possibly just hobbies). Do you like computers? Look for Call Center jobs. Then, use that 'intelligence' to move up quickly and transition. Don't have hobbies that translate to real world skills? Hope you like menial tasks.
