This is exactly what I do but it continuing to be a rarity is it’s best feature I believe. If it were common then hackers would script for detecting the pattern and I’m not sure it’d be any less vulnerable.

Murdered…

I’m entertained by his dedication.

Thank you for that! I’m keeping the cvedetails link bookmarked.

My two devices, the Archer BE9300 router and the TL-WA3001 AP aren’t listed with any known vulnerabilities, though I suppose it may be they haven’t been tested. The BE9300 is pretty popular though so that would be surprising.

The known vulnerabilities in their other devices don’t appear malicious or any worse than other common vendors either however. Given the state of the US government and its desire to monitor it’s citizens, I can’t decide if it’s contempt for TP-Link is a bad thing or not. They might just be mad they can’t get the vendor to give them a backdoor.

A solution to what exactly? Nobody has provided any information about definitive risks.

An as OpenWRT goes it would either be a permanent solution or no solution at all. How would it be temporary?

I have one mikrotik poe AP I use and am quite happy with, but certainly not something I’d recommend for non-technical people because it’s firmware isn’t consumer friendly.

However my question is really what’s the real risk in using TP-Link devices. Neither the article or any of the comments link to any explanation of the actual risks. Is my network actually open to hackers now? Is my router able to be used for dos attacks or for other purposes now? Everyone is acting like their flaws are common knowledge and there’s zero info about genuine flaws or exploits.

Do you have any information to share about their bad security? I have a couple of their routers which seem to work quite well. Any I really at risk, and anymore than I would be with something from Linksys or Netgear?

What is legal and what is moral aren’t always the same. Exporting him is absolutely immoral.

43 years of his life lost due to a wrongful conviction and instead of trying assist him after he’s suffered tragically due to the state’s failure, the state is making him disappear. Those 43 years vastly overpaid any “debt” he had to society for his drug conviction. Have compassion for an old man that’s suffered such unrecoverable loss.

Whatever your thoughts about immigration, neither immigrants or their children deserve to live in fear of violence from a government, particularly one that claims all people have certain “unalienable rights”.

Powershell works really well on other OSs now. I use it on MacOS and Linux daily. I might loath MS but Powershell is a fantastic shell and after working with an object-oriented shell I hate going back to anything else.

Multiple units are common for a large house. Not because they want a backup but because there are limits to how many square feet a single home unit can handle. Having a 2nd story or basement can influence the decision too. It’s often cheaper to put in two home units vs upgrading to a large industrial size like what a store might use.

Obviously if you have 2 then one is a backup when you have a problem, but most people aren’t going to have that.

The solution you’re looking for are called potholes.

I grew up there. It’s definitely hot, but I can say living in a high humidity city in the south can feel much worse.

With low humidity if you’re in the shade Phx is great most of the year. You’ll sit outside and eat in the 90s. Sure, above 110F is friggin’ hot but 95F and 90% humidity in GA or FL or south TX is worse if you’re outside, and shade doesn’t protect you from humidity. 115F has its own special problems like how hot car door handles and metal seat belt buckles get, but that’s better than the hot wet blanket effect you get in the south during the summer.

Interesting… thanks for the reply!

So did you just cancel the HBO max subscription in YouTubeTV, or did you cancel YouTubeTV altogether?

Unfortunately it wouldn’t. There are ways to “legally” hire an illegal today and lots of companies take advantage of it, especially in agriculture and other seasonal work. EI9 reporting has loop holes that politicians aren’t interested in closing.

They have no problem being inconsistent.

They’re convinced Democrats were drinking the blood of babies but have ignored Trump’s Epstein friendship, his comments about young girls and his own daughter, as well as a recording of him bragging about sexually assaulting women since the first election. They have no problem dismissing things that would otherwise confirm a Democrat would have been better.

There’s a lot you don’t know. Trees can’t talk.

That used to be true but no longer. For anything but gaming Apple’s M series chips are amazing.

I’m a 30+ year Windows and Linux user and developer that preferred machines I could build myself. A few years ago switched jobs and was given an M1 Pro for work… it’s incredible how good, fast and low power the M series are. I’ve used my laptop 8 hours straight without plugging it in. That’s simply not doable with any other machine.

I still dislike their walled garden, and for high end gaming Apple’s a no-go, but for most things it’s hard to argue with how good they are. The machines may come at a premium, but they are high quality, work great and for battery use they don’t have a rival.

In theory the unique id produced by the scan could be salted by you, uniquely for each website or application, and then provided to the site. This would keep aggregators from being able to track all your activity, or at least it would if they didn’t already have fingerprinting techniques that do it without the need of another unique identifier.
