I think we are past the tipping point now, it’s downhill from here and what we do to reduce carbon emissions will only determine how fast we go down that hill.

I’m pretty sure this was in the book of revelations.

The Iranian president has reportedly died in a helicopter crash.

Unless your ISP is running a cloud service, it wouldn’t be their problem. AWS, Azure, Google etc would be the ones hit with stronger identification requirements.

This so resonates with me, I used to think he was amazing. Now I wouldn’t buy a Tesla because of the petulant man-child.

Op was so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

You’re kidding right? The company made $89.5 billion revenue in the quarter to September 2023. If they’re on the decline it will probably take a few hundred years to show.

They could lose billions behind the couch each year and it would be a rounding error on their bottom line.

I Imagine they’ll use whatever connections are provided to them by their AI overlords.

The VPn may be necessary if their IP address ranges are being blocked, or it could be to get around an API limit?

I wouldn’t be surprised if they are doing it to block AI from hoovering up all of their data.

That’s a possibility, but if it’s locked they won’t be able to log into it to access your data or factory reset it, which will make it essentially worthless to them.

Gluing the SIM card tray will add to that worthlessness but will also prevent you from being able to legitimately sell, trade or give away the phone.

No. It’s the Apple or Android account that is logged into the phone and whether it is connected to a mobile or WiFi network that will determine if you are able to remotely wipe it or not. They could remove/replace the sim but the next time it connects to one of those networks and has an internet connection, the remote wipe command will activate.

Your phone should always be locked with a pin, Face ID etc. if it isn’t the person can just log in to it and access all of your data or factory reset it.

Yeah, cos it would make sense to hire newly arrived individuals from potentially non-friendly countries.

Damn.

Friend had this and he was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease.

On your firewall block all IP addresses except Cloudlflare’s IP ranges

Configure Cloudflare’s firewall to block any connections from outside your home country.

I flashed mine over 12 months ago and haven’t had any issues since. I had noticed there hadn’t been any updates but didn’t realise he’d stopped working on it.

One less integration to manage and It doesn’t rely on the cloud to work.

I flashed my Shelly’s with the Homekit firmware from the link below and manage them via the HomeKit integration in HomeAssistant.
