@ DD - E coli. You got it in you! (TM)

I wager that the Cybertruck sucking is not that much of a news:

I don't know much about trucks or cars in general, but looks like the tech bro motto of "move fast and break things" might not be the best approach when designing a vehicle.

Dunno if this is a right place or not to drop this paper
i remember reading 802.11bf paper around oct/nov 2022. I feel obliged to share this. We already have UWB Radar for human presence detection and possibility of sensing something behind wall by using mmWaves. This is beyond crazy.
Slightly related : They usher in 802.11az development as well

I won't upgrade to this technology and I'm looking for a way to opt-out. I will keep rocking my Asus 802.11AC/Linksys WRT1900AC with custom firmware. Might switch to ubiquiti/aruba AP someday

to my surprise, BLE can be a target of wardriving as well
Besides all of that, I also heard Google uses the wifi SSID to point your real place, the '_nomap' strings appended on SSID is useful to opt-out from google location service , '_optout' strings is useful to opt-out microsoft location service

I'm still seeing if there are any changes regarding to product quality of linksys after being acquired by Belkin and after being acquired by Foxconn. The legendary WRT54G/WAP54G was the sexiest wireless router ever existed in 2000s.

The Internet Archive got (
https://www.newsweek.com/catastrophic-internet-archive-hack-hits-31-million-people-1966866) taken down in a DDOS attack by Pro palestinian hackers
Quote:
In posts on X from October 9, SN_BlackMeta stated: "The Internet archive has and is suffering from a devastating attack. We have been launching several highly successful attacks for five long hours and, to this moment, all their systems are completely down."
The account added, " "second round | New attack. 09/10/2024 Duration 6 hours," linking to a series of status reports on check-host.net, showing multiple connection timeouts for the Internet Archive.
A community note attached to this post on X read: "Readers added context they thought people might want to know. This group claims they took down the Internet Archive because it "belongs to the USA ... who support Israel" which is not true. The Archive is not U.S. government, it is a nonprofit that includes many resources about Palestine, which we can't now access because of this attack."

This is equal to the burning of Library Of Alexandria. I have a heap of old documents (technical manual books, magazines, books that are no longer published, etc.) collection available in there both in postscript format, documents that now support ocr format and other pdf files. Meanwhile I'm still halfway learning & doing what /r/datahoarder community does and I haven't saved all those interesting documents. Screw this attack.
Now that Google has removed their cachedview feature, it justs getting worse. I need wayback machine. There are tons of technical blogs that are no longer indexed by Google and have disappeared from the surface of the internet.

What will be their next target ? Project Guttenberg ? why would they attack websites like IA and alike...
I appreciate archivists who fight bitrot/silent data corruption

Why don't they just give it up, already.
