I saw them open for Korpiklaani a few years ago in Baltimore. They signed some dude’s nutsack.

Hopefully this comes to iOS too.

I was able to get the avatar stuff into smart life (which appears to be a hub itself), but Kasa will not play. Checking out home assistant, thank you.

Did we ever find out why he was canned?

For someone who has never used Linux it can be very daunting, especially if they have never installed an os.

Thursday Apple issued three emergency patches for a vulnerability that could be exploited to install spyware. The patches affect macOS Ventura 13.5.2, iOS 16.6.1 and iPadOS 16.6.1, and watchOS 9.6.2. “A maliciously crafted attachment may result in arbitrary code execution,” the company said in its advisories. “Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited.” The report of active exploitation came from the University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab, which found evidence that NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware was being installed in vulnerable devices through a zero-click exploit the Lab calls “BLASTPASS.” The attacks used PassKit attachments sent as iMessage images. These carried the malicious payload. The patches will protect users against BLASTPASS; so will enabling Apple’s Lockdown Mode on the device.

I put mine on hdmi input and never see anything but what I put through the hdmi ports.

My smart TV that is not connected to the internet does this just fine. I only use the hdmi input, never connected it to my internet, never setup any apps.

After I tried to set up her new home internet and she had a melt down because I asked her if she had done any of the items I asked her to do (try connecting her smart tv to the network using the information I gave her) I no longer offer tech support to her, in fact we have barely spoken since then. It has been wonderful.

I tried to install Linux on my mom’s laptop for her, it was too scary. So she is still using windows 7 and probably getting scammed left and right.
