@arstechnica I'll be honest, my bullshit detector is going off pretty loud. they're claiming that the malicious behaviour is in a "cryptically named function [... that] is not visible to security scans before or during installation of the app, or even with elaborate penetration testing" - then how did they find it? most of the claims read as if they've never seen an app permissions list before, looked at Temu's, and assumed malice because China Bad™

@TechConnectify I had that happen at about 3ft off maximum extension, except the whole thing just stopped without error code. I assumed it had reached maximum extension and did the remainder of the gig lighting install by hand with a ladder, which was truly awful. Didn't find out until the last moment of teardown that the lift could go the full height.

@foone yeah it's literally just a case of "the DXGI stack can't see it because the image isn't decoded until it hits the hardware", and naturally they're using DXGI for the screenshot stuff because that's where everything gets composited.

@foone it's refreshing to see someone who uses 3D printers being honest about what using 3D printers is actually like.

@foone you're probably an order of magnitude low on that number

@foone there's a guy on YouTube who does this occasionally, although he's Jewish so he quotes the old testament

@foone iirc one of the tricks was to add some sort of clear oil (like baby oil) to stick it to the PCB, which made the white paper go kinda clear.

the actual home etching process is super messy though. ferric chloride stains eeeeeverything, it's bad for your skin, and you have to neutralise it before disposal which also creates a lot of mess. I used to own a kit and used it only a couple of times because the cleanup is horrible.

@foone also, two-step logins where you enter your username or email, click next, then get prompted for a password, because they've accumulated a bunch of different auth providers and also have different "estates" for individual orgs with conflicting requirements and can't figure out how to glue all of those together in a coherent fashion.

@foone yes. ENIG is safe for jewellery, I have made a bunch for my wife's etsy store.

@foone one of my older phones (one of the Samsung Galaxy ones, but I can't recall which) had an NFC chipset where you could get it to present an arbitrary UID, although you needed to sideload an APK to make it work because the original app got taken off the store. was useful though. I used to store hotel keys on it because most of them in that era just used the UID and didn't do any actual cryptographic handshake.

@foone presumably they're diesel-electric? if so for any electrified areas they can run without the diesel. no idea if any of it is electrified though.
