From the article…

It is powered by an external rechargeable battery that connects to the heart via a wire in the patient’s chest.

The battery lasts four hours and then alerts the patient that a new battery is needed.

God damn why’s the world so shit

Society empowers and encourages shitty people that only care about their own kind/tribe, is why.

Well, if there was any doubt before, with the weird ToS p.r. dance they were doing last week, now we know, for sure.

I’ve already switched to LibreWolf on the desktop. Is there a good non-Firefox browser for Android available?

Feeder does NOT sync with usual remote backends so no account registration of any kind is necessary.

Feeder is free to use and runs locally on your device. Your data is 100% private.

Edit: Apologies, I didn’t pay enough attention to your focus on syncing across devices, when I made my suggestion.

I use Feeder (Android).

Was quick browsing for openwrt and found the banana pi r3.

One thing that surprised me when I was looking to upgrade my old router ith OpenWRT is if a firmware for your router supports ALL of the features/hardware of that router. In my case, Wifi support was not supported, so I had to disregard using OpenWRT as a choice.

So be sure to look carefully at the firmware that you find. I personally had just thought that if a firmware exists for your hardware that all of the major (but maybe not minor) features would be supported, and that is not always the case.

From the article …

The ubiquitous ESP32 microchip made by Chinese manufacturer Espressif and used by over 1 billion units as of 2023

From the person I’m replying to …

I’d kind of like to know whether these can be used against an unpaired device or not. That’d seem to have a pretty dramatic impact on the scope of the vulnerability.

Don’t see how that would matter much. The “scope of the vulnerability” is sufficiently large enough that it should not be partially or otherwise discredited as a risk.

If someone owns a Bluetooth device, then its fair to think that at some point they’d actually use it, being vulnerable to the backdoor access. That’s billions of uses right there, on a regular basis.

From the article …

The researchers warned that ESP32 is one of the world’s most widely used chips for Wi-Fi + Bluetooth connectivity in IoT (Internet of Things) devices, so the risk of any backdoor in them is significant.

For what it’s worth, most of your comments aren’t eligible for copyright; they aren’t sufficiently original or information-packed. Just like @[email protected] and their licensing efforts, it’s mostly a vanity to attach a license to unoriginal one-line throwaway jokes. I wouldn’t say that it’s arrogant so much as lacking in self-awareness; a one-liner must be deeply insightful, contain a pun or paraprosdokian, address the current zeitgeist, or otherwise be memorable above and beyond the time and place that contextualized it.

I disagree. And last I checked, I have awareness on the subject. It’s been discussed very often with me here on Lemmy (much less on Reddit for some reason).

Your measurement of what is content is not legally factual. One’s opinions, of any length (and I think it’s safe to say that my opining has not been short in nature) is legally considered as content.

You may not like my content, but it doesn’t mean you can disavow it as content in the first place.

And once more, as a friendly reminder. If you feel my content is not content, feel free to block me.

I’m quoting you, but okay. I’ve made my point, I rather not discuss it further either.

Also, the pattern is getting repetitive and noticeable.

Have a nice day.

I do stand by what I said about derailing a conversation though, I would say that to anyone, under the same circumstances.

I don’t think gatekeeping others with “you can only talk about the thread topic” is a healthy way to do that, so we diverge there.

I’m not going to stop doing it and, if you look around, you’ll see plenty of others doing it too, so I’m in good company there.

It’s nicer if we let conversation flow naturally and don’t set arbitrary constraints - the mods can do that via the community rules if they want to but, again, you won’t find many examples of that either.

My understanding is that derailing any conversation, hijacking it, has been frowned up socially, both in 1) social media (since the days of dialing into BBS sites with our modems), as well as 2) in real life. Something that is considered harmful/distractful to the ACTUAL conversation being had.

Fun fact. “Conversation Hijacking” is even used in nefarious ways as part of social engineering to get into your computer (actually true, look it up). That it is a type of phishing scam.

Are you saying that is no longer the case, that it is ok to derail/hijack a conversation?

The links I supplied above seem to say otherwise, and that’s my understanding of the current consensus of the Internet/Humanity.

If my comments make you feel sad, feel free to block. 🤷‍♂️

Why be like that? Whether you think their position is silly or not, this person obviously gets called out on this a lot.

Well, at least he’s being more polite about it than this guy …

“I will be shitting on you and your stupid fucking license vociferously from here on out because you’re an arrogant egotistical asshole.,”

But yeah, didn’t think responding with informative links would be considered as disrespecting someone. 🤷‍♂️

And rather than pitch a fit over being needled about it for the umpteenth time, they responded with links that ought to satisfy any genuine curiosity. Considering the times I’ve seen an empty “Go educate yourself!” as a response from petulant children, I’d say buddy did us a solid. They don’t owe us a personalized response.

Originally I was just telling people to look through my chat history, as I had discussed the same topic many many times before, and didn’t want to detail the conversation by having to talk about it again.

But I was told that that was rude of me to do, and someone suggested I supply links instead. So I did. But apparently that’s not the right thing to do either.

I actually have been trying to work with the community about this in good faith, but each thing I do something as a compromise it seems to be complained about anyway, never satisfying those who dislike me having a license declaration.

At this point I’m just sticking with the smaller font and using links when someone asks me about the license, there’s nothing else I can do to satisfy those people who object, and I’m NOT going to discontinue licensing my content.

Appreciate the civility support, thank you.

I don’t particularly like being lumped in with a bunch of jerks who’ve treated you badly tbh, but equally if you’re feeling harassed I’m happy to put a pin in this.

I won’t lie, I’ve been harassed so much (sincerely, check out my posting history, its a trip) that at this point its hard to distinguish people who are just curious, and people who are truly rude/trolling/intellectually dishonest. If you’re one of the former, my apologies.

I do stand by what I said about derailing a conversation though, I would say that to anyone, under the same circumstances.

Have a nice day.

Derailing a conversation? That’s a bit dramatic… And now you are doing it by your own measure. I was just having a conversation, in a comment thread man. Chill out.

Are we talking about why fastDOOM is fast right now? No, we’re not. That’s called derailing a conversation.

As far as me chilling out, I’ve actually had someone else say this to me…

“I will be shitting on you and your stupid fucking license vociferously from here on out because you’re an arrogant egotistical asshole.,”

There’s a history with people harassing me about using an open-source license in my comments. Just check out my posting history, and you’ll see that I’m not being dramatic at all.

Repetitiveness is worse to see than derailing a conversation.

Because if it was slow, the name wouldn’t make sense.

Unless they were in a Time dilation field.

“Additionally, the $800 exemption for low-value goods has been removed.”

I didn’t even know such a thing existed, it’s not something reported on the news.

So every product will be hit with the tariff raising prices, and not just expensive products getting the tariffs. Yikes!
