Loved those headphones. I forget what defect mine suffered from, I think they were ultimately bricked and I was offered a sincere apology and a full refund well over a year after purchase -- some of the best support experience I've ever had.

I think the Guthrie case had Nest cameras, thus the Google servers.

What's your definition of a car person? I don't care for the guy, but having multiple modified super cars and building several custom trucks in the past -- he seems like a car [truck] person to me?

Well at least now if Google ever locks my account I won't lose access to all my email aliases.

That's sort of how it works. The car "wakes" the key up to auth with it when you touch the switch on the door. The relay attack is bidirectional so it replays both the wake up from car to key and the response from key to car.

This might be the final push I needed to migrate off of Google services. It's been all too convenient to have a one stop shop for everything, but I couldn't imagine my rage if I lost all of my child's pictures because Google decided that the picture of their first bath (no genitals or face in frame) was too risky.

What's recommended for a domain registrar to move my domains over to?

I figure I can probably self-host photo/file backups, move 2FA to Bitwarden, and migrate mail over to a paid Protonmail plan, but who can I trust for domain names? Mostly just for email aliases, but a couple for some hobby websites. GoDaddy can take a hike, and I've used namecheap before but what other options are good/trusted?

Source?

I recently discovered a neat trick that if you Google the url for the private video (you still have this in your list), you're likely to find the title of the video, therefore allowing you to at least figure out what it was and seek out a new video.

That's assuming auto manufacturers will actually provide you with continuous updates and not just charge you for access to the core feature without ever bothering to update it. Much like how infotainment software can vary from one model year to the next while the hardware remains mostly unchanged--they're usually not giving you the option to just stop by the dealer for an update, much less let you do it yourself via USB or OTA.

To be fair though, my example isn't absolute--as far as infotainment goes, Chevrolet has done free Android Auto/Carplay retrofits in the past if your older model hardware supported it, and Ford SYNC is upgradable by the consumer via USB. I don't know of any Toyota models that offer that same though.

Doesn't HDS require you to obtain a number from the cars ECU to then pass that into an Internet-connected HDS terminal where you have to sign in with your dealer and technician credentials so you can put in a request for another number from a Honda server somewhere for you to input back into the ECU in order to program another transponder?

I feel the same way about Facebook groups. I'd much rather create a throwaway account registered with my domain (whateverforum@mydomain.com) for every forum than create and use a Facebook or Discord account to engage with multiple communities. I don't want or need a centralized "social" account.

It's a crappy situation, but if you do ever see a LinkedIn update like that for a deceased member, they're actually pretty quick at getting the profile taken down when you contact them about it. Source: did this for a deceased member in my network shortly after getting an update like that. A human responded and took action the same day after I reached out.

Getting ready to plan a wedding after double digit year dating -- The timeline approach is brilliant, thanks for sharing!

I noticed this with past issues, but recently I was offered a best case scenario of a $10 credit on my next order that is "sold and shipped by Amazon".

Not really a question, but I'd like to point out a misspelling on your pricing page. "Full use of exclusive security lanes so you can arrives 30 minutes before departure" -- I believe this should be "arrive", not "arrives".

I'm currently running with this approach as well on a Chromebook Plus. I'm still not entirely switched over to using it full-time but it's very usable for a lot of terminal-based development.

I'm not entirely certain, but I think it was a reference to installing apps from the app stores rather than side -loading.

I totally agree. When looking at the Kickstarter campaign and reading through the content my thoughts were "neat" but I wasn't particularly excited. When I got to PocketCHIP part however, I thought "oh that's kinda cool I guess", and then my hoarder side starting thinking "oooo think of the possibilities of a packaged, portable computer like this!".

I'll definitely be keeping an eye on how the PocketCHIP turns out.

Same here. I was thinking that it would be perfect to use for some on-the-go projects, no immediate ideas come to mind outside of possibly a new way to sniff out some CAN messages in a car, but it would be one more tool to have available should a need arise. I too am going to wait to see where it goes, for now, I'm at least willing to give the CHIP itself a try to free up my Pi in less demanding applications.

How effective could it be to set up a prep program that you can use to record both the time between two clicks and the duration of each click? Then take a few runs with at that to get some average case scenarios and implement those times into the auto-click script? Then depending on when the server counts the press (first click or second click), account for the difference in time between your target time and when to execute the double click.
