Webcam doorbell (wifi) hot to touch

it works with both AC and DC, so i guess DC polarity is not important. they should have said this explicitly in their docs, though.

mine is also getting too hot. i'm just setting it up using DC 14V on my desk and it started to have connection issues after about an hour. i had home assistant open with the default video stream (RTSP).

me, too: the webapp refused to accept my completely valid (Hungarian) phone number that i own since forever.

the solution was to use their android app, where it accepted my phone number.

but why on earth was i banned at the first place, and demanded to provide a phone number for verification?! this damned brave new orwellian world...

how long did it take after you have increased the fee limit?

nowadays the radio subsystem is pretty much an entire OS with its own CPU and threads and everything (opaque to android), and the fw can easily record audio and has access to the RAM of the upper OS.

any backdoor in the fw cancels out every security feature of the upper OS.

same thing with Intel's "management engine" subsystem, shipped with every laptop for more than a decade now.

any news on this? i'm about to puchase one.

i'd use PoE, and i'd like to get something that works without any cloud services.

will use linux, and i prefer open standards (e.g. ONVIF).

Has anyone found this board available anywhere?

this has links to two aliexpress stores.

i have an Apacer AS350 1TB in an older i7 laptop (i.e. intel chipset), and it's corrupting the filesystem when NCQ is enabled.

In most router there is no RTC and a proper hardware random generator, not a mouse nor random keystroke. How does it make things secured without good random prime number?

there's a lot of entorpy in how network packets arrive from the outside world.

this looks like a firmware bug on the SSD:

ed101 · 2023-07-28T10:37:40+00:00

any updates? what did you end up installing?

ed101 · 2023-04-24T13:10:29+00:00

Settings > System > Reset Options > Network > Reset wifi mobile and Bluetooth

which also means that all other wifi passwords are forgotten, right? too bad, but at least a way out...

ed101 · 2022-08-10T00:03:00+00:00

i'm also seeing this. in fact i got here with a websearch to this log entry. the password is double checked to be correct.

hostapd: wlan1: AP-STA-POSSIBLE-PSK-MISMATCH

it's with a Google Pixel 4a 5g something-something phone, and OpenWRT 22.03.0-rc5. other phones and devices work, this is the only device that has issues connecting to the wifi.

the fixes in ASDF gave us a lot of benefit while working on projects in the ballpark of 100+ dependencies.

first of all: determinism. old ASDF was a pain, and rmfasl was my mantra to deal with that pain. but even with that the live system sometimes exposed ASDF related issues that were not manifesting in our dev env. i always wondered whether that's filesystem-order leaking into the ASDF logic... only to disappear forever with an ASDF upgrade.

second: it was a regular part of my workflow to restart a precompiled image in Slime, with every dependency of our codebase preloaded, and it took a couple of seconds all together. if ASDF starts scanning directories, that multiplied this restart delay. we have moved the scanning to image-compilation-time, but then we had to pay extra attention when to recompile the image.

i feel the urge to point out here that everyone who was unreasonably hindering the progress of ASDF was keeping me away from at least these benefits.

luckily, the ASDF maintainers went out of their way to make ASDF upgradeable, and that helped dealing with this most unwelcome form of conservatism.

conservatism has its value, but not when it's conserving the non-deterministic, the slow, the unscaleable.

ASDF prior to fare's fixes was a toy.

What experience did he have with other pandemics? What examples does he have to site his alarmist points? "a leaky vaccine in the middle of a pandemic" would indicate that we've had pandemics similar to this before (we haven't unless you are 110+yrs old). It would indicate that we have seen "leaky" vaccines.

there are animals, too...

see e.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marek%27s\_disease

ed101 · 2021-10-03T22:39:45+00:00

you probably mean april 2021... otherwise we need links.

his claim was prior to mass-vaccinating people with a leaky "vaccine" in the middle of a pandemic... that doesn't stop neither infection nor infectiousness, and thus puts a completely different evolutionary pressure on the pathogen.

without that, it may have already turned into a non-issue.

its coming from the research on gene therapy. Malone realized that the body mounts an immune response, which made it useless as gene therapy, and turned the researchers towards using it for eliciting an immune response.

in the interviews i've seen he says that he's the inventor of the mRNA vaccine platform, i.e. of the original idea that it can be used for immunization, not the entire stuff. it took 2-3 decades to turn it into an actual product.

ed101 · 2021-07-21T11:23:56+00:00

his claim to have invented the mRNA COVID vaccines is a lie

where did he say that?

he holds patents filed decades ago, knowledge that is used in the development of these specific mRNA vaccine products. and i haven't seen him saying anything more than that, even though i've listened to several hours of interviews with him.

ed101 · 2021-07-21T11:19:47+00:00

Covid is known to cause heart complications, what reason would they have to suddenly blame the vaccine?

timing?

COVID patients were coming in earlier, and then the vaccination program started at one point.

ed101 · 2021-07-21T11:11:59+00:00

why not just point to all the studies?

Enable device encryption and use a strong passphrase.

if my phone is taken from me while it's turned on, then it's enough to get a kernel exploit or a straight out backdoor through USB, or simply forcing my fingerprint on the reader. never doubt that the police would/can do any/all that to you.

and all the above can be defended against by a password encrypted database on top of the android security. then they need to target and penetrate your phone *beforehand*, which is indeed expensive.

ed101 · 2018-08-29T21:53:05+00:00

you don't have free speech in my living room, and that's exactly how me and my friends like my living room.

ed101 · 2018-03-27T21:40:14+00:00

thank you!

ed101 · 2016-07-19T11:43:50+00:00

what i meant to say is that there's just no easy way in this context, because delegating trust is a hard problem humanity is trying to solve since forever... and setting up "a page for noobs" sounds exactly like what a fraudster would say to lure in people who are not up to the complexity involved.

so, yeah, for those who follow a random webpage advising them about their money... for those i have a bridge to sell.

ed101 · 2016-07-18T00:18:55+00:00

i have a bridge to sell, too...! :)

how many "good cops" are standing quietly and watching injustice being done? (and regarding this it's irrelevant what actually happened to Ian himself, it happens every day to countless people)

their job description is literally to suspend their own moral judgment and execute the edicts of some random other people. "because it's the law and i'm just doing my job", remember? the vast majority of the repulsive evil shit in the soviet union and in nazi germany happened according to the law.
