All jokes aside, IoT devices suck.
Why does a dishwasher need to connect to a remote server to use its full functionality? Why does my coffee maker need me to start it using an app? At that point it isn’t a feature, it’s a dependency that the company behind will eventually shut down one way or another.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•With Linux, are you using secure boot?
141·4 days agoUnless you run your mobo with a password (no one really does), the attack vector always exists by disabling secure boot physically; and even the BIOS password could be reset through ways so I don’t really see the point in secure boot.

7·6 days agohere’s a joint venture idea to Trump: your goal is to fuck off as much as you can with your buddy Israel, and Iran does the toll collecting. Iran get benefits from tolls, and you get benefits by stabilising gas prices over time.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why is the RAM crisis happening even through AI datacenters use a type of RAM that isn't found on consumer hardware?
134·9 days agoManufacturers have a certain amount of chips they can manufacture, let’s say they can manufacture 10 million chips per year. Normally they adjust for demand, like manufacture 7 million chips for consumers and 3 million for enterprise customers. Company A contacts them and says “We need 6 million chips for this year, here’s the money”, But the factories still can manufacture only 10 million chips in total, so they adjust their factories to manufacture more enterprise focused chips, decreasing the amount of chips manufactured used by consumers.
