Without this kind of progress described (meaning reutilising, refining or reprocessing lithium), mining might become even more brutal to keep costs down for investors and corporate buyers, but remain ever more expensive for consumers.

Marginally lower cost over 500 possible cycles under ideal conditions… this does not take into account other pollutants it may cause or the human element. Still, very positive as a total, as this is a resource a way hitherto untapped (unless you count risky social media innovatives who almost burn up their homes making lithium batteries from vapes and whatnot).

Thank you for saving me from searching it up.

At first I thought ”Well, duh!”, but the manufacturer having a remote kill switch when he network blocked his vacuum from sharing his home map data with them, as well as unprotected root access when connecting to the vacuum… urgh.

The engineer says he stopped the device from broadcasting data, though kept the other network traffic — like firmware updates — running like usual. The vacuum kept cleaning for a few days after, until early one morning when it refused to boot up.

After reverse engineering the vacuum, a painstaking process which included reprinting the devices’ circuit boards and testing its sensors, he found something horrifying: Android Debug Bridge, a program for installing and debugging apps on devices, was “wide open” to the world. “In seconds, I had full root access. No hacks, no exploits. Just plug and play,” Narayanan said.

Thank you.

Hey, stop gendertyping. With that surname, it’s surely ”their”, not ”his”.

They look entirely queer, and Robby, Robin, Rob or Ruby has always been gender neutral/multiversive in my community.

Hilarious.

Premise Data, Maury Blackman. Names to be cautious of.

I guess so. Hey, Maury Blackman, are you a partner abuser who also likes to abuse the law to hide the fact that you are a criminal (sorry, unconvicted) who likes to hurt anyone less monetarily or lawyery weaker than you?

Sorry. Maury Blackman, if you are truly innocent of hitting a woman half your age so hard that she had to report it to the police… please show us you are innocent or even sorry.

Never forget Maury Blackman, savior of the domestic partner beaters, girlfriend beaters, wife beaters. Who tried the Streisand approach to deleting his crimes from the internet, forgetting that even if technical services are subservient to money and power, not all of us low-lives are as impressionable.

Btw, did you know that there is a guy named Maury Blackman who likes abusing younger women? Read all about it!

Fuck Maury Blackman, the perpetrator of violence and intimidating lawsuits.

That’s interesting, I remember there were discussions on Slashdot or Reddit about how easy it was to abuse Googles report tool several years ago. Reading this articles description of the abuse in action enraged me. And domestic violence victims too often withdraw their complaints due to economic factors or fear. Fuck Maury Blackman, the perpetrator of violence and intimidating lawsuits.

And you didn’t have a search engine at your disposal then. I had to get hold of the purity test from Usenet to understand some of the stuff in LSL.

I seriously thought this was The Onion, and I was like ”Naaaah, at least this time I ain’t gonna bite!”

I too love the Password game! Please save Paul! ~I truly care about him!~ ^Truly!
