They leave the Boeing and Soyuz up there, then when it’s time, gas 'em up and have them act as controlled thrusters. Everything burns up in the atmosphere. All problems solved.
Saves them $800M and change.
Many years ago, folks figured out how to crack firmware and find embedded keys. Since then, there have been many technological advances, like secure enclaves, private/public key workflows, attestation systems, etc. to avoid this exact thing.
Hopefully, the Rabbit folks spec’d a hardware TPM or secure-enclave as part of their design, otherwise no amount of firmware updating or key rotation will help.
There’s a well-established industry of Android crackers and this sort of beating will keep happening until morale improves.
I tried to hand-solder a Hirose .35-pitch connector onto a custom OSHPark board once. Let’s just say it was a humbling experience. Thanks to a generous friend, I learned the value of solder masks and owning a home reflow oven.
Respect to whoever can do this sort of thing, but life is too damn short and my eyesight and hands don’t need the abuse.
So, like teenagers learning to drive stick.
How you solder those without dropping a blob and causing a short is a mystery.
Was just listening to the latest episode of Dot Social podcast where there was a discussion with CEO of Ghost (alternative to Substack). They’re integrating ActivityPub into the platform, but where they’re going with it is that you can use your Fediverse ID instead of email to sign up.
Once they have that worked out, any likes or comments automatically migrate back to the fediverse. Replies back to replies also show up in your timeline and your followers can see them. This makes discovery pretty effortless. They can also use the stats to keep track of engagement across all fediverse services.
It also means turning one-way streams like RSS (podcasting), email services, and commenting services into common two-way communities.
You’re now going beyond just catching up to existing services and doing things just not possible in closed silos. Real “Aha!” moment.
Have never met EV drivers more pissed-off at their car’s software than VW owners. Hopefully, this will inject something more functional back into VWs.
Someone should build a little AI app that scrapes a job listing, then takes a resume and rewrites it in subtle ways to perfectly match the job description.
Let your AI duke it out with their AI.

Kids, always have a trade you can fall back on.
The ‘Santa Cruz Diet.’
On sale, this Christmas. Deluxe edition with boot-shaped mug.
I have no shame for enjoying the entire Rick Riordan Olympian / Norse / Roman series. But I did have “reading to kid before bed” as an excuse.
Seeing all these comments on use of ACs… what happens if it cumulatively overloads the grid and you get blackouts?
Is there a Plan B?
Don’t mix wasabi with soy sauce? So… chuck it into your mouth like a gumball?
Good to see proliferation of presence detectors. Good for turning things off when nobody is around.
In my last job I got to play a bit with the SeeedStudio mmWave presence box. What was interesting (and a little confusing) was that it took multiple add-on boards for things like on-device fall detection (for elderly). For the time I had with it, it worked fine with HA: https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/mmwave_radar_Intro/
