There are some youtube videos of people machining them (sadly my browser does not support smell). Looks like you treat it like any other solid material: hobb or mill the teeth. This is much more expensive than 3d printing.

You might be surprised by your 3d printed gears. If you keep the detail size large they work really well, but backlash is definitely an issue.

I provided a HTTP link not a HTTPS link, I didn't even know there was a (broken) HTTPS version of this site. Your browser must have some setting or addon that auto-redirects to https versions of sites even when the site doesn't request it.

Welcome to security news theatre :(

I don't think espressif would bother suing, these kind of misshapen claims get constantly made against popular projects all of the time. It's just unusual to see so much coverage about this particular one.

Not so say that externally attackable vulnerabilities in an ESP32 don't exist, they might. Bluetooth devices have an awful track record. But making them up doesn't help the world.

Bleepingcomputer's title and article are very misleading, the presentation did NOT reveal a backdoor into an ESP32. It looks like Bleepingcomputer completely misunderstood what was presented (EDIT: and tarlogic isn't helping with the first sentence on their site).

Instead the presentation was about using an ESP32 as a tool to attack other devices. Additionally they discovered some undocumented commands that you can send from the ESP32 processor to the ESP32 radio peripheral that let you take control of it and potentially send some extra forms of traffic that could be useful. They did NOT present anything about the ESP32 bluetooth radio being externally attackable.

Another perspective that might help: imagine you have a cheap bluetooth chipset that is open source and well documented. That would give you more than what the presentation just found. Would Bleepingcomputer then be reporting it's a backdoor threatening millions of devices?

Pay-as-you go as in "I pay once a month for everything" or "I pay a minimum set fee and then all calls + data on top"?

Many of the cheap plans are only available as 365-day prepaid, which might not suit your friend. I use a Catchconnect 365-day plan that was super-discounted around new financial year last year (I think it was $85ish/year including all calls and some data on top, which is enough for me).

Some time last year all Optus MVNOs increased their prices. Moosmobile used to be $8/month, now it's 15/month.

Whirlpool forums are a great place for Aussie telco information.

Changing virtual desktops works for me, no patches needed. I have to use it often because of how many games don't understand multiple monitors.

Technically they have some differences, but the biggest from a user's perspective is how they are delivered and by whom. Wine is manually installed by you from your distro's package repo. Proton is provided by steam when you install a windows game on a Linux steam instance. If one breaks then you complain to the relevant party.

Might be worth checking out ReThawed.. You can choose the physics models, UI, characters, tricks and maps from all of the old THPS games.

I tried THUGPRO previously (another community mod in similar vein) and it was fun, especially the mods to the park editor (overlapping objects!) and Sonic Adventure maps.

Thankyou, you have made my mum's day :)

Question from my mum: "Does he do the sump pump drain before he does his nasal cavity?"

Ooh, what type?

Mixture, but in this spot loose sandy fill. Sandstone area.
