Is the Theory of Special Relativity Wrong?
Thereโs an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word โNoโ. However, Lorentz invariance โ the theory that the same rules of physics apply in the same way in all frames of reference, and an essential component of special relativity โ has been questioned for some time by researchers trying to unify general relativity and quantum field theory into a theory of quantum gravity. Many theories of quantum gravity break Lorentz invariance by giving photons with different energy levels very slightly different speeds of light โ a prediction which now looks less likely since researchers recently analyzed gamma ray data from pulsed astronomical sources, and found no evidence of speed variation (open-access paper).
The researchers specifically looked for the invariance violations predicted by the Standard-Model Extension (SME), an effective field theory that unifies special relativity with the Standard Model. The variations in light speed which it predicts are too small to measure directly, so instead, the researchers analyzed gamma ray flare data collected from pulsars, active galactic nuclei, and gamma-ray bursts (only sources that emitted gamma rays in simultaneous pulses could be used). Over such great distances as these photons had traveled, even slight differences in speed between photons with different energy levels should have added up to a detectable delay between photons, but none was found.
This work doesnโt disprove the SME, but it does place stricter bounds on the Lorentz invariance violations it allows, about one and a half orders of magnitude stricter than those previously found. This study also provides a method for new experimental data to be more easily integrated into the SME. Fair warning to anyone reading the paper: the authors call their work โstraightforward,โ from which we can only conclude that the word takes on a new meaning after a few years studying mathematics.

Project Fail: Cracking a Laptop BIOS Password Using AI
Whenever you buy used computers there is a risk that they come with unpleasant surprises that are not of the insect variant. From Apple hardware that is iCloud-locked with the original owner MIA to PCs that have BIOS passwords, some of these are more severe than others. In the case of BIOS passwords, these tend to be more of an annoyance thatโs easily fixed by clearing the CMOS memory, but this isnโt always the case as [Casey Bralla] found with a former student-issued HP ProBook laptop purchased off Facebook Marketplace.
Maybe itโs because HP figured that locking down access to the BIOS is essential on systems that find their way into the hands of bored and enterprising students, but these laptops write the encrypted password and associated settings to a separate Flash memory. Although a master key purportedly exists, HPโs policy here is to replace the system board. Further, while there are some recovery options that do not involve reflashing this Flash memory, they require answers to recovery questions.
This led [Casey] to try brute-force cracking, starting with a Rust-based project on GitHub that promised much but failed to even build. Undeterred, he tasked the Claude AI to write a Python script to do the brute-forcing via the Windows-based HP BIOS utility. The chatbot was also asked to generate multiple lists of unique passwords to try that might be candidates based on some human guesses.
Six months later of near-continuous attempts at nine seconds per try, this method failed to produce a hit, but at least the laptop can still be used, just without BIOS access. This may require [Casey] to work up the courage to do some hardware hacking and erase that pesky UEFI BIOS administrator password, proving at least that apparently itโs fairly good BIOS security.

A common task in a laboratory setting is that of sampling, where a bit of e.g. liquid has to be sampled from a series of containers. Doing this by hand is possible, but tedious, ergo an autosampler can save a lot of time and tedium. Being not incredibly complex devices that have a lot in common with e.g. FDM 3D printers and CNC machines, it makes perfect sense to build one yourself, as [Markus Bindhammer] of Marb’s Lab on YouTube has done.
The specific design that [Markus] went for uses a sample carousel that can hold up to 30 bottles of 20 mL each. An ATmega-based board forms the brain of the machine, which can operate either independently or be controlled via I2C or serial. The axes and carousel are controlled by three stepper motors, each of which is driven by a TB6600 microstep driver.

Why this design is a time saver should be apparent, as you can load the carousel with bottles and have the autosampler handle the work over the course of however long the entire process takes instead of tying up a human. Initially the autosampler will be used for the synthesis of cadmium-selenium quantum dots, before it will be put to work for an HPLC/spectrometer project.
Although [Markus] intends this to be an open hardware and software project, it will take a bit longer to get all the files and documentation organized. Until then we will have to keep manually sampling, or use the video as the construction tutorial.
When we first heard the term “random laser,” we did a double-take. After all, most ordinary sources of light are random. One defining characteristic of a traditional laser is that it emits coherent light. By coherent, in this context, that usually includes temporal coherence and spatial coherence. It is anything but random. It turns out, though, that random laser is a bit of a misnomer. The random part of the name refers to how the device generates the laser emission.

The Random Laser
When we first heard the term โrandom laser,โ we did a double-take. After all, most ordinary sources of light are random. One defining characteristic of a traditional laser is that it emits coherent light. By coherent, in this context, that usually includes temporal coherence and spatial coherence. It is anything but random. It turns out, though, that random laser is a bit of a misnomer. The random part of the name refers to how the device generates the laser emission. It is true that random lasers may produce output that is not coherent over long time scales or between different emission points, but individually, the outputs are coherent. In other words, locally coherent, but not always globally so.
That is to say that a random laser might emit light from four different areas for a few brief moments. A particular emission will be coherent. But not all the areas may be coherent with respect to each other. The same thing happens over time. The output now may not be coherent with the output in a few seconds.
Baseline
A conventional laser works by forming a mirrored cavity, including a mirror that is only partially reflective. Pumping energy into the gain medium โ the gas, semiconductor, or whatever โ produces more photons that further stimulate emission. Only cavity modes that satisfy the design resonance conditions and experience gain persist, allowing them to escape through the partially reflecting mirror.
The laser generates many photons, but the cavity and gain medium favor only a narrow set of modes. This results in a beam that is of a very narrow band of frequencies, and the photons are highly collimated. Sure, they can spread over a long distance, but they donโt spread out in all directions like an ordinary light source.
So, How does a Random Laser Work?
Random lasers also depend on gain, but they have no mirrors. Instead, the gain medium is within or contains some material that highly scatters photons. For example, rough crystals or nanoparticles may act as scattering media to form random lasers.
The scattering has photons bounce around at random. Some of the photons will follow long paths, and if the gain exceeds the losses along those paths, laser emission occurs. Incoherent random lasers that use powder (to scatter) or a dye (as gain medium) tend to have broadband output. However, coherent random lasers produce sharp spectral lines much like a conventional laser. They are, though, more difficult to design and control.
Random lasers are relatively new, but they are very simple to construct. Since the whole thing depends on randomness, defects are rarely fatal. The downside is that it is difficult to predict exactly what they will emit.
There are some practical use cases, including speckle-free illumination or creating light sources with specific fingerprints for identification.
Itโs Alive!
Biological tissue often can provide scattering for random lasers. Researchers have used peacock feathers, for example. Attempts to make cells emit laser light are often motivated by their use as cellular tags or to monitor changes in the laser light to infer changes in the cell itself.
The video below isnโt clearly using a random laser, but it gives a good overview of why researchers want your cells to emit laser light.
You may be thinking: โIsnโt this just amplified spontaneous emission?โ While random lasers can resemble amplified spontaneous emission (ASE), true random lasing exhibits a distinct turn-on threshold and, in some cases, well-defined spectral modes. ASE will exhibit a smooth increase in output as the pump energy increases. A random laser will look like ASE until you reach a threshold pump energy. Then a sharp rise will occur as the laser modes suddenly dominate.
We glossed over a lot about conventional lasers, population inversion, and related topics. If you want to know more, we can help.
AC induction motors are everywhere, from ceiling fans to vehicles. They’re reliable, simple, and rugged — but there are some disadvantages. It’s difficult to control the speed without complex electronics, and precisely placing the shaft at a given angle is next to impossible. But the core of these common induction machines can be modified and rewired into brushless DC (BLDC) motors, provided you have a few tools on hand as [Austin] demonstrates.
To convert an AC induction motor to a brushless DC electric motor (BLDC), the stator needs to be completely rewired. It also needs a number of poles proportional to the number of phases of the BLDC controller, and in this case the 24-pole motor could accommodate the three phases.

AC induction motors are everywhere, from ceiling fans to vehicles. Theyโre reliable, simple, and rugged โ but there are some disadvantages. Itโs difficult to control the speed without complex electronics, and precisely placing the shaft at a given angle is next to impossible. But the core of these common induction machines can be modified and rewired into brushless DC (BLDC) motors, provided you have a few tools on hand as [Austin] demonstrates.
To convert an AC induction motor to a brushless DC electric motor (BLDC), the stator needs to be completely rewired. It also needs a number of poles proportional to the number of phases of the BLDC controller, and in this case the 24-pole motor could accommodate the three phases. [Austin] removed the original stator windings and hand-wound his own in a 16-pole configuration. The rotor needs modification as well, so he turned the rotor on a lathe and then added a set of permanent magnets secured to the rotor with JB Weld. From there it just needs some hall effect sensors, a motor controller and power to get spinning.
At this point the motor could be used for anything a BLDC motor would be used. For this project, [Austin] is putting it on a bicycle. A 3D printed pulley mounts to the fixed gear on the rear wheel, and a motor controller, battery, and some tensioners are all that is left to get this bike under power. His tests show it comfortably drawing around 1.3 kW so you may want to limit this if youโre in Europe but other than that it works extremely well and reminds us of one of our favorite ebike conversions based on a washing machine motor instead of a drill press.

When you’re zipping around Earth at five miles per second, even the most mundane of events takes on a novel element. Arguably, that’s the point of a crewed orbital research complex in the first place — to study how humans can live and work in an environment that’s so unimaginably hostile that something as simple as eating lunch requires special equipment and training.

ISS Medical Emergency: An Orbital Ambulance Ride
Over the course of its nearly 30 years in orbit, the International Space Station has played host to more โfirstsโ than can possibly be counted. When youโre zipping around Earth at five miles per second, even the most mundane of events takes on a novel element. Arguably, thatโs the point of a crewed orbital research complex in the first place โ to study how humans can live and work in an environment thatโs so unimaginably hostile that something as simple as eating lunch requires special equipment and training.
Today marks another unique milestone for the ISS program, albeit a bittersweet one. Just a few hours ago, NASA successfully completed the first medical evacuation from the Station, cutting the Crew-11 mission short by at least a month. By the time this article is released, the patient will be back on terra firma and having their condition assessed in California. This leaves just three crew members on the ISS until NASAโs Crew-12 mission can launch in early February, though itโs possible that missionโs timeline will be moved up.
What We Know (And Donโt)
To respect the privacy of the individual involved, NASA has been very careful not to identify which member of the multi-nation Crew-11 mission is ill. All of the communications from the space agency have used vague language when discussing the specifics of the situation, and unless something gets leaked to the press, thereโs an excellent chance that weโll never really know what happened on the Station. But we can at least piece some of the facts together. Crew-11: Oleg Platonov, Mike Fincke, Kimiya Yui, and Zena Cardman On January 7th, Kimiya Yui of Japan was heard over the Stationโs live audio feed requesting a private medical conference (PMC) with flight surgeons before the conversation switched over to a secure channel. At the time this was not considered particularly interesting, as PMCs are not uncommon and in the past have never involved anything serious. Life aboard the Station means documenting everything, so a PMC could be called to report a routine ailment that we wouldnโt give a second thought to here on Earth.
But when NASA later announced that the extravehicular activity (EVA) scheduled for the next day was being postponed due to a โmedical concernโ, the press started taking notice. Unlike what we see in the movies, conducting an EVA is a bit more complex than just opening a hatch. There are many hours of preparation, tests, and strenuous work before astronauts actually leave the confines of the Station, so the idea that a previously undetected medical issue could come to light during this process makes sense. That said, Kimiya Yui was not scheduled to take part in the EVA, which was part of a long-term project of upgrading the Stationโs aging solar arrays. Adding to the mystery, a representative for Japanโs Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) told Kyodo News that Yui โhas no health issues.โ
This has lead to speculation from armchair mission controllers that Yui could have requested to speak to the flight surgeons on behalf of one of the crew members that was preparing for the EVA โ namely station commander Mike Fincke and flight engineer Zena Cardman โ who may have been unable or unwilling to do so themselves.
Within 24 hours of postponing the EVA, NASA held a press conference and announced Crew-11 would be coming home ahead of schedule as teams โmonitor a medical concern with a crew memberโ. The timing here is particularly noteworthy; the fact that such a monumental decision was made so quickly would seem to indicate the issue was serious, and yet the crew ultimately didnโt return to Earth for another week.
Work Left Unfinished
While the reusable rockets and spacecraft of SpaceX have made crew changes on the ISS faster and cheaper than they were during the Shuttle era, weโre still not at the point where NASA can simply hail a Dragon like theyโre calling for an orbital taxi. Sending up a new vehicle to pickup the ailing astronaut, while not impossible, would have been expensive and disruptive as one of the Dragon capsules in rotation would have had to be pulled from whatever mission it was assigned to.
So unfortunately, bringing one crew member home means everyone who rode up to the Station with them needs to leave as well. Given that each astronaut has a full schedule of experiments and maintenance tasks they are to work on while in orbit, one of them being out of commission represents a considerable hit to the Stationโs operations. Losing all four of them at once is a big deal.
Granted, not everything the astronauts were scheduled to do is that critical. Tasks range form literal grade-school science projects performed as public outreach to long-term medical evaluations โ some of the unfinished work will be important enough to get reassigned to another astronaut, while some tasks will likely be dropped altogether. Work to install the Roll Out Solar Arrays (ROSAs) atop the Stations original solar panels started in 2021. But the EVA that Crew-11 didnโt complete represents a fairly serious issue. The astronauts were set to do preparatory work on the outside of the Station to support the installation of upgraded roll-out solar panels during an EVA scheduled for the incoming Crew-12 to complete later on this year. Itโs currently unclear if Crew-12 received the necessary training to complete this work, but even if they have, mission planners will now have to fit an unforeseen extra EVA into whatโs already a packed schedule.
What Could Have Been
Having to bring the entirety of Crew-11 back because of what would appear to be a non-life-threatening medical situation with one individual not only represents a considerable logistical and monetary loss to the overall ISS program in the immediate sense, but will trigger a domino effect that delays future work. It was a difficult decision to make, but what if it didnโt have to be that way? The X-38 CRV prototype during a test flight in 1999. In other timeline, the ISS would have featured a dedicated โlifeboatโ known as the Crew Return Vehicle (CRV). A sick or injured crew member could use the CRV to return to Earth, leaving the spacecraft they arrived in available for the remaining crew members. Such a capability was always intended to be part of the ISS design, with initial conceptual work for the CRV dating back to the early 1990s, back when the project was still called Space Station Freedom. Indeed, the idea that the ISS has been in continuous service since 2000 without such a failsafe in place is remarkable.
Unfortunately, despite a number of proposals for a CRV, none ever made it past the prototype stage. In practice, itโs a considerable engineering challenge. A space lifeboat needs to be cheap, since if everything goes according to plan, youโll never actually use the thing. But at the same time, it must be reliable enough that it could remain attached to the Station for years and still be ready to go at a momentโs notice.
In practice, it was much easier to simply make sure there are never more crew members on the Station than there are seats in returning spacecraft. It does mean that thereโs no backup ride to Earth in the event that one of the visiting vehicles suffers some sort of failure, but as we saw during the troubled test flight of Boeingโs CST-100 in 2024, even this issue can be resolved by modifications to the crew rotation schedule.
No Such Thing as Bad Data
Everything that happens aboard the International Space Station represents an opportunity to learn something new, and this is no different. When the dust settles, you can be sure NASA will commission a report to dives into every aspect of this event and tries to determine what the agency could have done better. While the ISS itself may not be around for much longer, the information can be applied to future commercial space stations or other long-duration missions.
Was ending the Crew-11 mission the right call? Will the loses and disruptions triggered by its early termination end up being substantial enough that NASA rethinks the CRV concept for future missions? There are many questions that will need answers before itโs all said and done, and weโre eager to see what lessons NASA takes away from today.

La riflessione del professore di sociologia, prorettore dellโUniversitร degli Studi di Urbino, giร autore di diversi saggi sul tema รจ ovviamente molto piรน ampia. Nel libro sostiene infatti che lโagorร pubblica negli ultimi anni รจ stata inquinata soprattutto da tre fenomeni. Il primo รจ lโingresso nellโera della post-veritร . In questa fase della comunicazione infatti non รจ tanto importante la veritร e neanche la validitร la coerenza e lโutilitร con cui si comunicano concetti semplici e complessi ma il modo in cui le persone vi reagiscono. Chi sa gestire quelle reazioni puรฒ farci credere a ciรฒ che vero non รจ. Il secondo fenomeno รจ la piattaformizzazione di Internet. Secondo questa famosa teorizzazione di Van Dijck e Poell, le piattaforme che connettono gli individui tra di loro permettendogli di fruire e consumare servizi non offerti dagli Stati, creano strutture sociali disomogenee producendo valori con un potenziale rischio etico. Il terzo fenomeno รจ la fringe democracy, cioรจ lโannullamento del confine tra cio che รจ legittimo e cio che non lo รจ, insieme al livellamento delle opinioni sempre piรน autoreferenziali.
Queste tre dinamiche creano la societร esposta, un ambiente in cui la comunicazione e la sfera pubblica, attraversate dalla sfiducia, sono diventate vulnerabili.

La Germania avrebbe costretto Lexus a disattivare a distanza il riscaldamento dell'auto nel cuore dell'inverno
L'avviamento a distanza della tua Lexus รจ appena stato "assassinato" a distanza dalle autoritร di regolamentazione, che hanno deciso che riscaldare l'auto รจ considerato terrorismo ambientale
Accendere l'auto a distanza per scaldare il motore รจ inutile, dato che i motori moderni sono fatti molto meglio di quelli di vent'anni fa. Accendere l'auto a distanza per scaldare l'abitacolo รจ pretenzioso, si puรฒ tranquillamente sopportare il freddo per 5 minuti mentre si fanno le prime manovre e ci si sposta.
@Mannivu come ho spiegato altrove, il problema non รจ che sia vietato, ma che qualcuno ti possa impedire di farlo.
Per essempio, pisciare sui piedi dei Lancieri di Montebello che stanno di guardia al Quirinale รจ vietato, ok; ma non รจ accettabile che quando ti avvicini all'ingresso del Quirinale la clip che lo Stato ti ha impiantato chirurgicamente alla radice del pene ti blocchi l'uretra.
Sรฌ, la metafora รจ ardita, perรฒ funziona ๐ tuttavia, a parte che l'articolo รจ chiaramente scritto da un autista convinto (e da come scrive sembra quasi uno di quelli che non si muove se non ha un motore a spostarlo), รจ effettivamente una funzione superflua; il problema รจ che non risolve il problema, ma lo ritarda, perchรฉ chi sfruttava quella funzione sarร molto probabilmente la stessa gente che lascia comunque il motore acceso per far scaldare l'automobile.
@Imprinted @Mannivu tipo i sedili riscaldabili di BMW. Non se qualcuno ricorda o sa questa cosa, ma qualche anno fa fece notizia il fatto che sulle BMW negli stati uniti si poteva usufruire dei sedili riscaldabili pagando un abbonamento.
Un sedile riscaldabile non รจ altro che una resistenza, un bottone e un termostato, se sono giร nella macchina, per quale diavolo di motivo dovrei pagare per usarlo? Considerando che giร ogni volta che lo accendo consumo un po' di carburante in +?
@betelgeuse93 @Imprinted @Mannivu l'automotive si sta spostando sui servizi in abbonamento. ร tutto abbastanza normale, Considerando che le auto elettriche non hanno praticamente bisogno di meccanici e pezzi di ricambio Ossia le due cose sulle quali si basa l'attuale modello di business di tutto l'automotive
@Imprinted @Mannivu e parlando di elettriche, questo mi ricorda la riparazione di una tesla che ricevette una batteria piรน grande, quando Tesla se ne accorse, da remoto ne limitarono la batteria.
@betelgeuse93 @Imprinted @Mannivu Ok, allora rilancio con il fatto che in alcuni server della mia ex azienda vengono montati comunque tutti i processori e tutta la RAM possibile ma da remoto ti abilitano solo quello che hai pagato.. questa รจ una cosa che mi ha sempre mandato ai matti
@migbox AHAHAHA! ๐ Comunque ha senso dal punto di vista: - operativo: puoi acquistare tutto insieme a prezzo piรน basso e montarlo insieme in una volta - commerciale: puoi permetterti di attivare promo gratuite ma anche di scalare l'offerta in tempo zero

@Mannivu Non mi sembra la stessa cosa: qui lo Stato dice: "questa cosa che fate non la potevate fare: non fatela", e i proprietari dei software tolgono questa funzione. Piรน o meno come quando i prodotti vengono richiamati perchรฉ difettosi.
Il problema se mai รจ che le compagnie lo possano fare, ma questo giร lo sappiamo col caso killswitch di John deer e bus cinesi. Con software "normali" sarebbe stato da fare un richiamo come con qualsiasi altro prodotto difettoso @Mannivu
@albertone @Mannivu vogliamo parlare del fatto che iPhone ti disinstalla le applicazioni? Oppure di Amazon che sulle proprie Fire stick blocca l'esecuzione di applicazioni ritenute corresponsabili delle trasmissioni streaming pirata?
@migbox @albertone @Mannivu bisognerebbe acquistare dispositivi android ancora configurabili prima che la possibilita' di cambiare sistema operativo venga rimossa.
@deepthroat @migbox @albertone @Mannivu ...tempo fa era piรน semplice, con poco tempo e poca "sapienza" potevi "rooutare" il tuo smartphone e configurarlo come ti pareva, oggi รจ praticamente impossibile perchรฉ ci sono troppe applicazioni proprietarie che, se le disinstalli, pregiudicano il funzionamento del device.
@more_word @migbox @albertone @Mannivu GrapheneOS utilizza una versione mirror dei Google Play Services, consente lโinstallazione e lโuso sicuro e sandboxato di tutte le app, dalle quelle proprietarie di Google a quelle bancarie. La configurazione inoltre e' alla portata di tutti.
@deepthroat @more_word @migbox @albertone @Mannivu ho sempre utilizzato CD prima, poi DVD e USB per installare Linux su ogni PC sulla quale ci metto le mani, ma uno smartphone mi mette in soggezione, lo trovo piรน difficile e fuori della mia portata, richiede un PC giusto ed avere il sistema rootato se non sbaglio. Ma poi mi fermo lรฌ per paura di non avere un SO funzionante. In fin dei conti mi serve per la banca e per tutte le cose che mi servono tutti i giorni. Meglio comprarlo.
@albertone @Mannivu non stanno ritirando i prodotti al supermercato. Ti stanno entrando a casa e rovistano nella dispensa per toglierti le confezioni di pasta, perchรฉ hanno deciso che la cottura della pasta ha un impatto ambientale piรน alto rispetto a quella del riso
Il punto perรฒ รจ chi ti sta entrando in casa: non lo stato ma i produttori di auto. Lo stato ha semplicemente detto che quella funzione non รจ conforme alle leggi esistenti in materia di inquinamento e invece che richiamarle i produttori fanno un killswitch perchรฉ possono. Questa cosa รจ riportata su poche testate in lingua tedesca (nessuna autorevole) perciรฒ sospendo il mio giudizio finchรฉ non ne parleranno in modo articolato.
@albertone @Mannivu a quanto capisco in realtร non hanno fatto nulla sulla macchina, non c'รจ nessun kill switch, semplicemente hanno tolto dall'app la possibilitร di avviare il riscaldamento da remoto. Nessuno ti impedisce di andare fisicamente in macchina, accenderla e accendere il riscaldamento, cosa che perรฒ in molti paesi รจ giร vietata da un pezzo (l'auto ferma non puรฒ stare accesa perchรฉ inquina)
@albertone @Mannivu tra l'altro stando all'articolo che hai linkato la possibilitร di rimuovere funzionalitร gratuite dall'app (come quella in questione) รจ esplicitamente prevista dai TOS dell'app stessa
@albertone @Mannivu in altri termini: hanno fatto qualcosa che era previsto potessero fare, e l'hanno fatto per far rispettare una legge dello stato (in materia di inquinamento). Sicuramente sono io che non ci arrivo, ma il problema quale sarebbe esattamente?
@Mannivu come ho spiegato altrove, il problema non รจ che sia vietato, ma che qualcuno ti possa impedire di farlo.
Per essempio, pisciare sui piedi dei Lancieri di Montebello che stanno di guardia al Quirinale รจ vietato, ok; ma non รจ accettabile che quando ti avvicini all'ingresso del Quirinale la clip che lo Stato ti ha impiantato chirurgicamente alla radice del pene ti blocchi l'uretra.
@albertone @Mannivu la metafora non รจ ardita, รจ semplicemente sbagliata: non ti chiudono il pene da remoto, ti stanno solo impedendo di attivare l'apertura automatica della cerniera con il telecomando. Puoi sempre aprirla a mano e orinare sui piedi del lanciere, per poi essere giustamente preso a mazzate da quest'ultimo. Nessuno sta toccando le macchine, stanno disabilitando dal telecomando una funzione che comunque legalmente non potresti eseguire
@albertone @Mannivu fammi pensare ... no. decisamente no. - ti stanno impedendo di usufruire del bene (l'auto) che hai acquistato? no - ti stanno limitando un qualche diritto fondamentale? no - l'app รจ indispensabile per usufruire dell'auto? no - stanno facendo qualcosa che non รจ prevista dal TOS dell'app? no - puoi continuare a riscaldare l'auto prima di partire? si (facendolo manualmente) a tuo rischio e pericolo (sei passibile di multa)
- impedendo di usufruire del bene acquistato? no, ma di un servizio acquistato sรฌ - ti stanno limitando un diritto fondamentale? il punto รจ che hai meno libertร di ieri - l'app รจ indispensabile? irrilevante - non รจ prevista dal TOS dell'app? tante cose sono nei TOS - puoi continuare a riscaldare l'auto? si ma รจ piรน scomodo
Stare peggio di prima ti piace? Bene: sei libero di non protestare o di difendere il controllore. Spiace solo che non vedi il problema
@albertone @Mannivu - hai acquistato l'auto, non l'app - hai meno libertร di fare qualcosa che รจ contro la legge (pur potendo continuare a farlo) - il TOS รจ un contratto, se lo accetti (cosa che fai installando e usando l'app) poi non puoi lamentarti quando l'azienda fa qualcosa che รจ prevista nel TOS - "รจ piรน scomodo" ... dai, seriamente?
Come detto sicuramente รจ un mio limite, continuo tuttavia a sostenere che il problema non lo vedo perchรจ non esiste
@mrphelz @albertone @Mannivu - ho acquistato l'auto E le funzionalitร connesse (la app) - nel momento in cui acquisti un mezzo fisico, i TOS non dovrebbero proprio esserci - e se un giorno te la spengono e non si riaccende piรน? Per qualche legge creata a posteriore (vedi: euro 5)
Il problema in sรฉ non รจ il preriscaldamento da remoto (che รจ una boiata e sono felice che non possano piรน farlo). Il problema รจ il concetto che gli va dietro.
che porcata colossale. Per 5 minuti di motore acceso prima di partire. ร proprio il caso di dire che questa tipologia di "legislatori" sono persone che non fanno un cazzo dalla mattina alla sera.
Perรฒ come dicevano altri, nessuno vieta il jet privato o il mage-yatch.
@salvadorbs si, ma: - รจ una funzione che probabilmente i clienti hanno pagato ed ora se la trovano negata - non c'รจ bisogno di una funzione fatta a posta per lasciare accesa la macchina in modo che si riscaldi - con -5 sinceramente partire e trovare l'abitacolo non gelato non la vedo male come cosa
@betelgeuse93 onestamente? Ecologicamente parlando, se stai qualche minuto al freddo o ti sbrini il vetro (o previeni) prima di partire non ti fa male.
La funzione remota (qualunque essa sia) mi fa molto piรน paura quando verrร disabilitata per l'obsolescenza programmata. In quel caso, si sta facendo qualcosa?
@salvadorbs certo si stanno impegnando affinchรฉ sia piรน dolorosa possibile. Sui pc basta vedere quanto sono pesanti i framework web oggigiorno. Sulle automobili, la lo fanno con gli incentivi ed i blocchi sul traffico (non sono contrario ma i blocchi devono essere integrati con mobilitร alternativa, non con compra una macchina nuova) e con le cose che si rompono. A proposito di questo, quei mattacchioni di Stellantis e Ford la sanno lunga ed hanno deciso...

Could anyone with Friendica connections please see if these people's posts are appearing in your timeline? In the latest versions, I've noticed a rather lame federation between the two platforms... Thanks
@Giaco I can only check, when the release is out. My dev version doesn't have any connectiins. Uhm. How do you handle the dance between running your profile and checking the dev version?
What happens to me: I can't connect with new people on Friendica half the time, because half of them use sites with a stable but old version, and the other half, who use a new version, I can connect and find them, but then I don't receive any posts from these people who use newer versions of Friendica. Maybe you're receiving them because they're old connections? While those who use older versions of Friendica not only have connection problems with Hubzilla, but also with Mitra, for example, meanwhile, with newer versions of Friendica, Hubzilla is the only one that doesn't let me receive posts from new connections. That's it.
@Giaco I know that Mitra is approaching Forte by and by. Slowly because silverpill is trying to cast everything newly implemented into FEPs.
But I'm trying to remember what Hubzilla and Mitra have in common, other than client-side OpenWebAuth support and Conversation Containers. Mitra has Portable Objects which might cause disturbances, as do (streams) and Forte, but Hubzilla doesn't.
Just to be clear: on this Streams site of mine I avoid ActivityPub because it has given me so many problems, that's why I use hubzilla channels to talk to people who use ActivityPub, but it's becoming impossible to chat with people who use friendica (it's impossible to find friendica people who use an old version, but it's easy to find people who use a recent version of friendica, but their posts don't appear in the timeline ๐คท๐ผ).
@FenTiger I think it does. And even then, it doesn't have a full, server-side and client-side implementation, only a client-side implementation like Friendica and Tootik.
Also @silverpill knows that 2024.12 version having federation problem, we have problems also in mitra with that friendica version and also with older connections, but my problem now using hubzilla is that I can't see in my Hz timeline posts of friendica persons using a new friendica version, but in mitra I don't have this problem with people using new friendica version, so, really, now I don't know if is an Hz or a friendica bug . I already talked using a test channel with Tobias (friendica dev) but I didn't get comments.
Encountering federation bugs and realizing their existence isn't difficult, I've been doing it for ages, but solving them is another matter, which unfortunately I don't know how to do ๐

Since the RP2040 microcontroller is available as a stand-alone component, it’s easy enough for third parties to churn out their own variations — or outright clones of — the Raspberry Pi Pico.

The ones that [electronupdate] obtained for a test and decapping session cost just $2.25 a pop.

Looking at a Real Fake Raspberry Pi RP2040 Board
Since the RP2040 microcontroller is available as a stand-alone component, itโs easy enough for third parties to churn out their own variations โ or outright clones of โ the Raspberry Pi Pico. Thus we end up with for example AliExpress sellers offering their own versions that can be significantly cheaper than the genuine article. The ones that [electronupdate] obtained for a test and decapping session cost just $2.25 a pop.
As can be seen in the top image, the board from AliExpress misses the Raspberry Pi logo on the silkscreen for obvious reasons, but otherwise appears to feature an identical component layout. The QSPI Flash IC is marked on the die as BY250156FS, identifying it as a Boya part.
Niggles about flash ROM quality aside, whatโs perhaps most interesting about this teardown is what eagle-eyed commentators spotted on the die shot of the RP2040. Although on the MCU the laser markings identify the RP2040 as a B2 stepping, the die clearly identifies it as an โRP2 B0โ part, meaning B0 stepping. This can be problematic when you try to use the USB functionality due to hardware USB bugs in the B0 and B1 steppings.

โDear media, I canโt stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmarkโ any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.โ mastodon.social/@LorenzMeyer/1โฆ
Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dรคnemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stรผrmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Rรคuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens รผber Geldรผbergabe.

Africa has some of the world's youngest populations, and some of its oldest leaders. In Uganda, young voters must decide between a 40-something former pop star and a sitting president in his 80s. #Uganda #elections #voters
The youth vote in Ugandaโs presidential elections is divided; young people are rallying around both President Yoweri Museveni and challenger Bobi Wine.

Bandcamp ha annunciato che dโora in poi vieterร di caricare canzoni generate con i software di intelligenza artificiale: รจ la prima piattaforma a stabilire un divieto di questo tipo.
@thatgiga Sono sicuro che l'AI lavora su formule matematiche riconoscibili, sicuramente si puรฒ creare un database con tutte quelle canzoni che hanno certe ricorrenze comuni. E poi ci sono gli ascoltatori un po' scaltri, che ci mettono dieci secondi a capire. Infatti Bandcamp chiede anche segnalazioni da parte umana per poi verificare.
I use this when evaluating the โdry downโ of a perfume! Many fragrances have very distinct scents when first applied versus when theyโve been on your skin for a few hours. But because scent is so fickle, itโs hard to remember what the fresh application smelled like hours later, without reapplying (which you might not want to do if youโre not even sure you like it). So sometimes I put perfume I want to test on my arm right before bed, and then โtime travelโ to the dry down
