Good point. We can have a honeypot wifi. Check my other comment in the thread.

I think for the TVs internal wifi, it's better to create a honeypot Wi-Fi exclusively for it, or a VLAN. It will constantly try to send data and fail. If we don't let it connect to anything, the TV might start sniffing for other open networks.

but the smart fridge in your upstairs neighbor’s kitchen could still be helping with smuggling your data out

I can understand that if you have a Samsung TV and a Samsung fridge, they can talk with each other. But will it work if you have a fridge from a different OEM? (I'm assuming the OEMs haven't formed a cartel for illegal data smuggling)

It's a good thing that no serious company uses excel spreadsheets to manage their data, right? Right?

Sorry but Linux is becoming too mainstream for me now. Time to hop on to BSD

I've posted the link to the Github project so people can avoid it

Please go through the FAQ section of the git project. It's an eye-opener.

Q. Does this enable mass data breaches of website?

A. Yes. The next time you see a major data breach where customer data is clearly visible in the breach, you’re going to presume company who processes the data are at fault, right? But if people have used a Windows device with Recall to access the service/app/whatever, hackers can see everything and assemble data dumps without the company who runs the service even being aware. The data is already consistently structured in the Recall database for attackers. So prepare for AI powered super breaches. Currently credential marketplaces exist where you can buy stolen passwords — soon, you will be able to buy stolen customer data from insurance companies etc as the entire code to do this has been preinstalled and enabled on Windows by Microsoft.

reproducable jpegs? Excuse me?

I live walking distance from my local police department. If another person uses my NFT without my consent I will report them immediately. This is MY PROPERTY. The transaction has be verified scientifically on the block chain. Anyone who violates my NFT rights will pay the price.

Buddy, you have no idea who you are messing with. I have made a ridiculous amount of money in crypto/NFTs and I have the best lawyers. If you don’t delete those stolen jpegs, you’re going to regret it. When you steal someone’s property you get punished. Watch out.

I just tried to upgrade Ubuntu and I suddenly see that new packages want to be installed; snapd and firefox. I don't need Firefox because I'm already using Firefox-ESR as a deb and I certainly don't need snaps.

Why is Ubuntu doing this? I get it you like snaps but I don't, so don't try to force install it. I had to use apt-mark hold to block the install of snapd and firefox. This is also not an isolated incident. I just checked Reddit and someone made a thread 8 hours back regarding the same issue.

This thing is giving me Microsoft vibes.

I made a post on asklemmy@lemmy.ml but it was not getting any responses so decided to ask here where people have experience in hosting lemmy instances.

I am not sure how cross-posting works here so I'm just going to paste the link to the original post https://lemm.ee/post/24869.

The main query I have is how is data partitioned over instances when I'm participating in communities in other instances.

You can post your answers here or there.

I made this community for the people of Kolkata, who wants to leave r/kolkata. Hope we can make this as vibrant as the reddit community!

Hello fellow lemmings!

I'm a new lemming like many of you and I want to know a bit more about the inner workings of lemmy. So I just have a few questions

  1. If I'm part of instance A and there is a community C in instance B and I want to put a comment with a picture attached.
    1. In which instance is the data (comment+picture) stored?
  2. Is it possible to migrate from instance A to instance B seamlessly while taking all my data?
    1. If yes, will my username change from user@A to user@B?
    2. If the username changes, how do my previous followers keep track?
  3. When I'm just viewing (not commenting) community C@B from instance A, is some amount of data (images/post text) is transferred from B to A?
    1. If yes, is it kept for sometime or permanently?
  4. If I've subscribed to 100s of communities in different instances, how much will it impact my instance?
  5. Consider the link to this post lemmy.ml/post/1223070 and lemm.ee/post/24869 which basically references this post from different instances.
    1. Is there any difference in the way people see it?
    2. Will there be a sync issue when people try commenting on it?

These are just some questions that came to my mind. I'll post more in the comments as they come.
