Years on a wall mounted eink screen sounds super interesting. What are you using for the power delivery/battery side of that setup?

You have to set it up with the Steam client in Desktop Mode, but you can add arbitrary programs and executables as non-steam games.

As a result, I can open Spotify in the background and have it play music while I game, from the primary SteamOS interface.

I think it’s been changed since, but wow was it weird finding out that instead of taking photos, the Android app used to essentially take a screenshot of the camera view.

I made one for roughly $100 USD from an Arduino, steel rods, some stepper motors, and some 3D printed parts.

Having an existing 3d printer is a bit “draw the rest of the owl” for this, but being able to extend and modify a device like a pen plotter is pretty nice.

That language isn’t the same language I became more proficient in, so are you sure it’s not terrible, useless, and will lose handily to the one I use for my specific purposes?

Or perhaps we make them attractions at a theme park, but let Anthony Hopkins have admin access to the source code. What could go wrong?

Reminds me a bit of BMWs and their infamous and persistent coolant pump woes. The running joke in those circles is "replacing the entire cooling system" counts as "basic, regular maintenance". BMW makes a fantastic engine, then makes the water pump impeller out of plastic. For what feels like decades.

Interesting and novel take. Do you think making that would enable you to also make a better distributed note taking system, or do you think you need the distributed note taking system first?

Perhaps we need to make a diagram to decide.

I'd like to see some form of regulation around % of visible screens/information presented in a public space needing to be specifically useful to the population vs pure advertising.

It's frustrating to be at a train station where every wall is an ad for something, and the actual information concerning the trains themselves is either tucked away on a much smaller, much lower quality screen in the corner, or worse, not working at all.

Basically I'd like to see some solutions to the problem that I'm generally being shown ads at the expense of the public service I'm trying to use.

> strong consumer spending

I’d like to see that plotted against average consumer debt

I like this idea. Perhaps let them self select if they will respond or not, but they have to advertise in the posting which path they chose?

Sounds like he got the double instead of the nothing. The last line of the article mentions he now owes close to 200k, when he had originally owed 100k at the start of the scheme.

I wonder how much he banked from the sold access in the middle.

Had the same reaction. I’m willing to support development for a tool like this, but would prefer to do it more….directly.

I ended up with a preorder for the new screen instead of getting a laptop now and the upgraded screen later. Before making that call, I explored a bit around up-cycling the original monitor into a portable display. There are apparently some boards that allow this, if that helps with your math.

Wow that’s…catastrophic. Sorry that happened to you.

I moved my primary phone from Android to iOS and this is hands down the thing I miss the most. I ended up silencing a lot of apps wholesale, mostly rideshares, as a result.

Currently waiting on my FW13 preorder, so if you don’t mind writing it out one more time, what issue are you having?

I’d love to see two types of upvotes on the site. One for “thanks for answering/engaging” and another for “this answer is correct and high quality”. Not sure how you’d restrict or verify the votes, but I think the issue you’re pointing out is a result of only having one metric of engagement.

Agreed that the vetting of private people would be invasive and not a good use of resources. It would also not work for recently compromised accounts.

I’m also personally torn on how much we want giant private companies controlling more and more of the core compute infrastructure and software.

In an ideal world, the code and software itself would be automatically analyzed for malicious use cases in release and deployment pipelines, but that’s a magic hand wavy kind of ask of a huge magnitude and complexity.

> Facebook engineer and therefore have vetted

Haven’t nation state actors openly infiltrated high level companies? This would provide a false sense of security imo. If anything, we need better testing and behavior heuristics for incoming code.

If OP takes this approach, please please please make this usage data easily accessible, ideally both as a (free?) API endpoint and as a timechart/table in the web UI if applicable.

I'm a security engineer with a background in incident response, security operations, AWS cloud infrastructure, and miscellaneous projects across most other security verticals. I've been both an engineer and manager, and look to automate workflows wherever possible. I take a developer experience first approach to infrastructure work, and love leveraging data analytics to threat hunt and build effective security monitoring programs.

Happy to explore contracts or full time opportunities.

The analogy I used back when I managed a team was that our workload was like a funnel. You need some amount of overhead to balance the pressure and keep things flowing. If you put too much in the funnel, things backup and spill. It's faster to leave that little gap than it is to try to use the absolute maximum volume.

Well, keep in mind they would have to keep it secure in perpetuity. Any leak over the lifetime of any of that hardware would be devastating to the owners. Blue Team/Defensive security is often described as needing to be lucky every time, where as Red Team/attackers just have to get lucky once.

This attack vector is in addition to just exploiting the implementation in some way, which I don't think can be handwaved away.

Something like this would show up in perimeter network/firewall logs correct? But if someone was mirroring traffic to the same cloud provider you deploy in, it would be less obvious to find out _which_ set of cloud IPs aren't actually your own.

I’m so appreciative that virt-manager has a GUI that crafts and then lets you edit the XML directly. It really eased that beginner into competent stages of using the program for me.

Climate change (less predictable weather, higher temperatures) is and will likely continue to be a factor as well.

I feel like we’re close to that with automated testing and rollbacks. Still, it seems like a ton of complexity for what feels like a fundamental need

I try not to think too much about how I mostly can not and likely will not see 1080p and higher content from my Linux desktop due to (a lack of) Chrome and DRM
