16 years old? That thermostat has sure had a run, must have been designed pretty well to last this long without some electronic failure.
Assuming it's cloud connected, anyone aware whether it got updates for the newer versions of TLS and root certificates? As an example I'm aware quite a lot of android and similar devices from that era have expired certificates now, and outdated/vulnerable SSL libraries...
Edit: Edit example
The Telemetry collection service does a good job of that already, especially on laptops where it wakes them from sleep, and eats through the battery while idle in a backpack. I've been stung by this many times since Windows 8 - I now unplug then hibernate my last remaining Windows laptop, work-issued.
Also moved as much personal gear as possible over to various Linux distros a while ago, except my PC where some games cannot detect my sim peripherals & freetrack emulation under WINE
AFAIK Lemmy.world (the largest Lemmy instance) was issued a takedown request for something unrelated, and conducted a review of the piracy communities following that.
Unfortunately they decided to remove/unfed a few piracy communities as a result, such as this one on dbzer0.
So while we are still all federated, lemmy.world users can no longer see or interact with the !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com community ☹️
Heads up about SimpleMobileTools - the project sold out and some of those apps are no longer being updated, I'd suggest migrating your data over to the forked apps now maintained by the Fossify organization

And just like that, Nintendo have guaranteed to never get a dime of my money again 🏴☠️
What a greedy corpo. I'll be waiting on the MVG video covering all the legal details whenever that drops
It is scary to think that people with this much money and influence can be so unhinged - inciting others to make death threats to your city leaders, then proudly tweeting afterwards "I don't care".
Claiming to be interested in funding schemes to solve homelessness, drug use and crime, in addition to additional police, seems kind of nefarious. What essentially boils down to arresting and manhandling individuals that have no money to their name doesn't surprise me coming from a CEO
I pretty much agree with the article writer here:
Tech bros like Tan think they are reinventing whole systems, conjuring terms like “effective accelerationism” to describe their philosophy. But the ancient Greeks already put a name to their core ideas over 2,000 years ago. For example, there’s plutocracy, or rule by the wealthy, and autocracy, rule by dictatorship.
CEOs like this are aiming to indirectly rule/control others with their money
I hope Take Two loses this, what an absolutely disgusting publisher to file something as baseless as this.
There is no star or blue/yellow background on Remedy's logo, even the R is a different color
It's a bit shitty that anyone would even think of doing this to begin with IMO, especially considering that mercury's harmful nature is no secret!
Mercury is otherwise found as a by-product of other processes, such as the burning of coal
Actually susprised that it's even viable to use a byproduct of burning something else as a fuel
Apollo Fusion [...] insisted that the composition of its propellant mixture should be considered confidential information.
Good thing it wasn't considered in this scenario. Racing fuel using nitrous oxide and whatever is one thing, but spraying mercury everywhere into the atmosphere with a rocket honestly sounds like a sick joke
"[...] It would give you a competitive advantage in what I imagine is a pretty tight, competitive market"
Launching rockets is a competitive market? TIL, I thought there were only a handful of companies operating with very generous margins
A reverse proxy takes all your web-based services, e.g.
and allows you to map these to domain names, so instead of typing server.example.com:32400 you can type plex.example.com. I have simplified this quite a bit though - you need DNS configured as well, and depending on your requirements you may want to purchase a domain name if you intend on accessing content from outside your home without a self hosted VPN.
Cloudflare is a DDoS mitigation service, a caching web proxy, and a DNS nameserver. Most users here would probably be using it for Dynamic DNS. You can use it in combination with a reverse proxy as a means to mask your home IP address from people connecting to your self hosted web-based services remotely, but on its own it cannot be used as a reverse proxy (at least easily - would not recommend attempting to). Do note that Cloudflare can see all the data you transmit through their systems, something to bare in mind if you are privacy conscious.
In my opinion though, it would be much better for you to use a self hosted VPN to access your self hosted services (can be used in combination with the reverse proxy), unless there is a specific need to expose the services out to the internet
Edit: fix minor typo, add extra info about cloudflare
That’s when Lamego went on to start his own company, True Wearables, which Masimo claimed used its technology when developing the Oxxiom, a wireless and disposable pulse oximeter.
Excuse me, a wireless and disposable pulse oximeter?
I wouldn't be surprised if this Marcelo person is a millionaire with that kind of twisted thinking. Disposable vapes are bad enough - those devices literally contain rechargeable Lipo batteries, and now this individual starts his own company and one-ups that with disposable, wireless medical equipment?
Just wow
You went through the trouble of creating a new burner account to post this unconstructive garbage, wow. Starting to see a lot more of this pop up within the past few days. Show that you actually stand behind what you say, and post this from your main account instead so we can block you
The !electronics@discuss.tchncs.de community would be a better fit for this post IMO
That said this looks interesting, and seems really competitively priced when compared to other similar thermal cameras like the Flir One Gen 3. This measures a very wide temperature range too, from -20°C to 400°C within ±2°C, whereas the Gen 3 tops out at 120°C.
The 80x62 resolution is OK for this application IMO, the Gen 3 is similar at 80x60.
I wouldn't go recommending one of these to a "casual" user though, it's very much a development product. Non-casual users could probably 3d print a case and get on just fine with the demo apps IMO, and for those users this would probably worth its weight in gold, given how expensive thermal imaging usually is.
Given how closely its priced to radar presence sensors like the Aqara FP2, and the inclusion of I2C for comms, I think this is going to have some appeal to DIY home automation enthusiasts too, especially if it gets supported by open source projects like ESPHome

Edit: I should also mention that there are much cheaper options on sites like AliExpress if you just want something cheap to use via usb-c - the advantages this sensor has are heavily dev focused IMO and might not make sense for most users (e.g. documentation, i2c comms, product integration support)
