  • Absolute horseshit. Bulbs don’t have microphones. If they did, any junior security hacker could sniff out the traffic and post about it for cred.

    The article quickly pivots to TP-Link and other devices exposing certificates. That has nothing to do with surveillance and everything to do with incompetent programming. Then it swings over to Matter and makes a bunch of incorrect assertion I don’t even care to correct. Also, all the links are to articles on the same site, every single one of which is easily refutable crap.

    Yes, there are privacy tradeoffs with connected devices, but this article is nothing but hot clickbait garbage.
















  • I have friends working on ways for content providers to charge AI training models. But I have a feeling that’s not enough.

    The future will have to be where creators have an incentive to consistently create, and consumers pay for what they like, or services to keep them informed and entertained without them having to do much.

    In between will sit middlemen and aggregators to enable a smooth flow. Who that will be and what they do in this next phase is the big question.

    Under the current method, Google’s search and ads groups are competing against each other. Don’t see that going well for anyone.



  • I’ve had good luck with Jekyll, saving the source on github, and setting it up so pushing to main auto-deploys to a Cloudflare site. Using Markdown and for larger media, uploading to S3.

    Much easier to set up and maintain than github pages. Since it’s static output, pretty snappy. Also includes RSS feeds and permanent URLs.

    Have also set up several Wordpress sites. Slower, but if you want wysiwyg editing, user comments, or there are several contributors, would work better.

    Have also heard good things about ghost, but haven’t actually deployed one yet.
