Interesting, but unplayable on mobile, the onscreen keyboard obscures the clues, so you have to keep hiding and showing the keyboard.

Europe@feddit.org•UK: China could use microchips to disable smart meters in British homes, MP warnsEnglish
11·8 days agoSo … the reality of this is that these vulnerabilities exist for all microchips, since the purchaser and the user have absolutely no insight into the innards of any of this.
Microchips are made all over the globe and rarely … if ever … in a country where the political system matches your own, unless you happen to live in the country where the chips you’re using are actually manufactured there and even then you don’t know who is watching what.
In other words, this is not a new issue, nor is it limited to one country, it affects all of us.
While we’re at it, software has exactly the same issues.
Why do you think that ICT professionals keep advocating for open source solutions?
Where is this utopia?

92·9 days agoHow much waste they take up with them?
If it’s more than 8kg, I’m guessing that the only missing requirement for the refund is to increase the number to make it that every climber brings down more than they take up.
In other words, put every climber on the scales before they go up and unless they weigh more when they come back, they don’t get their money back.
Bonus reward for each extra kg.

561·9 days agoSo … now we have plausible gibberish … also known as Autocorrect on Steroids … that includes corporate sponsorship… seems like we’re moving closer to the true meaning of advertising with every iteration.
Next we’ll be asked to pay for this feature … oh wait.
I can’t wait until the Assumed Intelligence bubble finally bursts and takes with it some of the largest companies in the world … perhaps this is how we finally address climate change.

You clearly didn’t watch the MythBusters episode dedicated to this topic considering all its various lighting technologies.
The takeaway: Turn off the lights when you leave the room, unless you’re going to be back within a fraction of a second.
