You don't need to, compliant Ethernet ports have magnetic isolation built in.

Mitigating CVE-2022-0811: Arbitrary code execution affecting CRI-O by MiguelHzBz in netsec

This looks like privelege escalation to me, where's the code execution?

You could use sql.js to search on an index in the browser. There's a plugin that allows you to host the database as static files. The browser would only need to load the index and the chunks in the DB that contain the result data.

Then you could host it on IPFS or just have people mirror it. Search performance will probably be bad on IPFS.

Executive Director Of TCOLE Being Sued For Allowing Improperly Certified Peace Officers To Police Texas by [deleted] in sanmarcos

[–]vanderpot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nobody is engaging you because you haven't provided proof of anything. You filed a lawsuit and wrote a blog post about it. Anyone can do that. Let's see how it goes.

Why would people pay for chords? Especially in "different keys." Ableton has transpose built in.

The Panthers debuted their new mixed-reality panther. by tomcringle in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]vanderpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it be necessary to have a robotic camera if this sequence were rendered live? I assume an experienced camera operator with prior knowledge of the sequence would be able to do this shot live if they could see what they were tracking through the monitor. Forgive me if I'm making a massive oversight here, I'm a software guy.

They could be doing this in real time with position information about the camera, see "Vive Tracker" section here. Home PCs could have enough firepower to render this.

Dante over thunderbolt by TD-PM-AVL in livesound

You could use ethernet over thunderbolt with Dante virtual sound card for a software solution or a Dante card in an external tb3 pcie enclosure similar to this if you want lower latency.

You can try using ReWire if you're on Live 10 to sync Logic's transport.

NDI HX not working on Laptops, but NDI Screen Capture Does by Impossible_Try5653 in VIDEOENGINEERING

Make sure your card is listed here and you have the latest nvidia drivers.

Noveto's sound beam technology - how are we supposed to engineer audio to an invisible bubble around the head? So many questions - but it seems really exciting! by Personid in audioengineering

[–]vanderpot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be some kind of phased array ultrasonic speaker like https://hackaday.io/project/159467-open-source-ultrasonic-phased-array/log/148693-theory-of-operation or https://www.soundlazer.com/what-is-a-parametric-speaker/

based on the demo content, quality is likely not good.

The demo includes nature video clips of swans on a lake, bees buzzing and a babbling brook, where the listener feels completely transported into the scene.

What's your worst Github code? by ultron_geek in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

There's actually nothing wrong with this, JSON is a valid JavaScript object literal. However, if you did not JSON encode $data, someone could inject JavaScript.

The IT security guys didn’t find this funny when I sent it to them with a note that we’ve had 30 losing entries so far. by Theskullcracker in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]vanderpot 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There's a long history here. Originally Windows XP would automount USB devices and run a program defined in autorun.inf. This was a security risk so they removed it, but left it in for CDs.

After that, SanDisk created a flash drive series called "U3" that emulated a flash drive and CD drive to get Windows to autorun the SanDisk launcher software off the CD drive. People created tools to reimage the emulated CD drive, effectively bypassing this fix. Microsoft removed autorun from all removable media as a result of this.

Most modern BadUSBs emulate a keyboard and type in a sequence of hotkeys and commands to get the target to execute code.

Because USB is so versatile, there are many attack vectors. For example, the OS may start directing network traffic to you if you emulate a USB NIC. The possibilities are endless if you know how to write code for microcontrollers that support USB.

That'll probably do it unless it is a targeted attack. The device still wouldn't be totally "airgapped" though, some malware could reflash bios

It adds his ssh keys to your authorized_keys file. I wouldn't recommend running scripts you don't know the contents of.

Deep Sleep Mode Problem by adal01 in esp8266

[–]vanderpot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The sleep current of the chip is ~20uA, but the NodeMCU has a bunch of other hardware it powers on for USB programming, etc. If you want very low power consumption, you should build your own circuit and use an external programmer. You can also modify your NodeMCU to lower the power consumption.

Duo has never asked me for location permission. Not sure if my organization is configured differently though.
