If you have any need to interrogate / explore USB devices, this CLI tool is *amazing*. Using it on both macOS and Linux here. Super impressive compared to lsusb etc (and compatible with the same output format if needed) https://github.com/tuna-f1sh/cyme

Today's entry in "Wow, that's a Bullshit CVE": https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/46386

Basically, if you evaluate remote user input as code, the remote user can execute code. *shockedpikachuface*

I would like to point out that CVEs define publicly known vulnerabilities in publicly released software packages. So if the guy/gal wants to publicly release their "example code" as a software package, they could get a CVE for *that*. But not for the code eval function they misused.

THIS is the moment I've been waiting for!
I've always wanted a "solar skin" on my car. Or even on my backpack, with a USB port inside for charging my devices.

Four decades ago the only available candidate was amorphous semiconductors that you can put on a flexible substrate: look up Sharp and Ovonics for those. The (big) problems:
1. the efficiency sucked;
2. the semiconductors degraded under solar UV exposure.

It was frustrating.
But no more!

I can't believe a paid OS needs a tool like this. Here's a GUI tool called OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) to remove all the ads in Windows 11. It's understandable if a free OS or app needs ad support, but this is just crazy https://github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB

Every version of the PuTTY tools from 0.68 to 0.80 inclusive has a critical vulnerability in the code that generates signatures from ECDSA private keys. Tthe effect of the vulnerability is to compromise the private key https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/vuln-p521-bias.html #infosec #security #ssh #opensource #linux #unix #windows

NEW RESEARCH PAPER OUT! In this paper, @grimalkina and I explore how #code review anxiety is maintained and exacerbated to develop a model of code review anxiety. We also go a step further to develop and test the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral intervention for code review anxiety, so that we can reduce code review anxiety in an evidence-based and empirically-supported way (because science > vibes): https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/8k5a4

@TechConnectify Ah, so that's why my porch light glows pink on really cold days. As always, thank you for the thorough explanations.
@Salty @franksting lol yeah that’s a bit rude to use dc chargers that are in need, but I’m cool with PHEVs using public L2, even at the airport. Reducing emissions is the ultimate goal here.
@TechConnectify another great thing is that quite a few inverter type heat pumps will boost in heat mode at lower temps. This allows those that are currently on say 3 ton single speed to upgrade to 2 ton in the future with similar heating performance but with better COP and comfort as the system will scale to the load.
@sirber @kipapakid thanks for sharing! I could see how that might work. I guess it’s just a matter of time before AVs start scanning my Python scripts :)
