It feels a bit like the author used AI as a buzzword to get people to click on an article about electronics recycling.
e-waste is a big issue affecting everyone and AI has lots of known issues. Mashing both of those things together doesn’t fix anything.
It ain’t so.
To use the “backdoor” an attacker needs to have full access to the esp32 powered device already.
It’s like claiming that being able to leave your desk without locking your PC is a backdoor in your OS.
You can use an online tool to look up the Bluetooth [1] or Wifi [2] MAC of the device. If it’s espressive you’ve got one of their chips. That doesn’t guerantee that it’s not one of the others they make. You can also open up the device and look for the esp32. They almost always look the same with their metal can ontop.
The risk has been estimated as 0.3 out of 10
Don’t worry about it.

Someone correct me if i’m wrong, but it looks like it’s not the big deal the original blog post makes it out to be.
To issue those undocumented HCI commands one either needs to hijack a computer/soc/mcu that is connected to an esp32 with HCI UART transport enabled or put malicious software on the esp itself.
The mac spoofing might be interesting for people building hacking tools, however.
Just pick one of the many registrars and server hosts that don’t care about takedown requests and host a website with them.
That way it stays more accessible to everyone.
I agree in principle but using Tor won’t affect DMCA takedowns.
So when you change the C interfaces, the Rust people will have to deal with the fallout, and will have to fix the Rust bindings.
I hope this won’t turn into a cat and mouse game.
inb4 they release their new “Humane by HP” line of printers. They have only one button, which summons the new HP printer AI.
I want there to be a setting.
Sometimes the context of a missing message in a group chat is important.
Migrating to WordPress now is an interesting choice, considering all the drama they’re in right now.
Care to elaborate?
What I expect: Having their logo printed next to the lens on a phone which is marketed as a great camera-phone. They had no input on the phone other than how the logo looks.
What I want: A small portable point and shoot digital camera that actually takes photos on the level of a flagship-phone.
To me it feels like it’s the other way around.
I wasn’t even aware that people tried to establish multi-language drivers until I read about the cancer comment some time ago.
It’s not the first time that longstanding maintainers dislike new stuff because it’s new.
Sorry for being harsh, but if you use the “free “forever”” offering of any company as alternative to what google offers you learnt nothing from using google.
You have to contact them about the refund, it’s not automatic.
You can get a refund within 30 of an auto-renewal. That’s what I did too.
A while ago I was thinking about doing something similar, but tearing down a working one seemed wastwful. I also couldn’t find a motherboard on its own (neither trough the repair program nor elswhere), so I shelved the idea.
I don’t use google workspace. Is it normal that they call you about stuff? For me that would be the first red flag and I’d just not pick up.
I guess this is one of the few things where China and the US fully agree.
If they’d let their people freely talk it would be way harder to demonize the other side.
I guess most people who want to use a domain as their username aready have that domain.
