So, parental controls now how much exactly if the person using it is the patent?

And again, you didn't read anything about the EUID project. I know this because the data protection rules for the EUID are fucking insane. The reason why the project in question (age verification) exists, so user can verify their age WITHOUT providing any details about who they are to online services

It is unbelievable, no glue about what this piece of software is who wrote it, for what, what are the legal grounds, but spitting bullshit, yes nice!

I will write a more detailed post about the whole issue, where things must be changed, how, and the impact and false assumptions.

But I will end this conversation here, because it just makes no sense. You lack the knowledge to provide anything useful to such a discussion

What about Steam, Amazon, ....?

[–] vapeloki@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Yes, and EVERYTHING you buy from stream you buy from the same domain. Everything you buy from Amazon, you buy from the same domain.

Can you explain to me how a DNS filter knows if the user visits reddit for example to read gaming news or watch porn?

There is no app. Read the readme from the beginning. Even cited it here. Show me the he app in the app stores! YOU CAN'T!

THIS IS A REFERENCE IMPLEMENTATION NOT AN PRODUCTION READY APP! THIS IS EXPLICITLY STATE ON THE PROJECT README!

[–] vapeloki@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You are absolutely right about end-to-end encryption and VPN. Essentially everything that has to do work law enforcement.

End we should focus on those topics. They are political issues and have lasting consequences. That a reference implementation will require Google APIs in the future is not an issue worth rageing about beyond "That is a bad example and violates EU law".

Wtf are you now talking about? The politicians already defined the digital rights act.

And politicians don't write software.

[–] vapeloki@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (5 children)

I know this issue, yes? And now?

[–] vapeloki@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Parental control in routers are based on DNS blacklist. That works only for full websites. What about steam, Netflix, online shops?

[–] vapeloki@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (8 children)

We have Linux, Mac, Windows, Android,..

We have kids that know more about PC's then parents.

Your suggestion can only work with systems that are heavily locked down and always controlled by the parents.

That is not the world in that we live. "Just 3 buttons" is a very naive idea to a very complex problem

But feel free, design a 3 button system, including client/server communication and more. Than we can talk about it

Hey, German electronic journeyman here. I am not very familiar with 120v systems and US engineering, so I may talk bullshit.

If the board itself dies, most likely because a signaling or data line has a short to some supply voltage for example.

That can be anything, depending on how clueless the engineers are (for us technician, engineers are the enemy).

To hunt this down without a service manual I would check the resistance between the 13,5v connector and other pins. Look for a short

Also, check the seals, make sure there is no water where it shouldn't be.

Valves and flow sensors may have became leaky and may have an internal short.

Also, check your electrolyte caps. They degrade, but normally they will not blow up other things then themselves. Normally because I have seen different, looking at you LG

Es ist DEMO Zeit. Auf geht's nazis ärgern.

Heute abend 17:00 in Kusel, das Weidel ist da!

 

Hi all,

two month ago, i received my company car. I chose an i5, as i wanted an EV, need some space, and hate SUVs. I could fit nearly everything optional in the car (besides the air suspension), keep that in mind. Also it is "only" the M40, the rear drive only variant).

As i am from Germany, so no freedom units. Sorry to you over there on the other side of the pond.

I am living in the countryside, and we (my gf also drives the car) have to drive daily, either shopping, she to work, or i travel long distances across Germany.

My first impression on takeover of the car: This is a monster. Not only looks it mean as hell, it is wide and long. Dude. I instantly was glad about parking and lane assistance. I knew the dimensions before hand, but 2m width and over 5 meter of length are much bigger than i had in my mind. This is my only big issue with the car btw. I have a growing blacklist of parking garages and underground parking lots i am not comfortable to drive in.

That out of the way, the car is great. Interior, quality of life features, all well designed. I will only get into a few here, as this will be (mainly) focused on the EV aspect of the car.

Efficency

After using the car for a while, i was surprised by the efficiency of the car. Our regular trips into the neighboring towns, shopping, visting friends, are coming out with around 20KW/km. Autobahn tours with free flowing traffic and a target speed of 130km/h are between 17KW/km and 19KW/km.

With the 82KWh battery pack, ~330km distance in our mixed usage and 80%-10% SoC, are typical.

Charging

Charging was promoted with 205KW and that checks out. I even seen charging rates of 210KW, reported by the car. The maximum charge rate is reached usually between 15% and 55%. On most stations, i can forget to even reach 180KW, but that is more on the state of german charging infrastructure, then on the car.

Using the charge planning feature of the satnav is just a great experience. It keeps stops at a bearable amount of time and recommends target SoC with enough reserve to accounts for possible detours or other delays. Charging stations can be filtert by network, for all those network members. I didn't test this feature, as an all-network charging card is part of the car in my company.

If a charging stop takes longer, on board entertainment is great. Multiplayer games, TV streaming, or offline media, it does not get boring. I have the Bower&Wilkins system and ConnectedDrive. ConnectedDrive is required for the games and streaming features. The HiFi system just transforms your lokal slow charger to a mobile cinema.

Heated and vented seats

Vented and heated seats are great. For range! Instead of heating and cooling the space in the car, roughly equivalent to the space in a German student apartment, using those comfort features and lowering AC gives you a few hundreds Wh. I tested this on some very hot days. I was alone on the car, and set the temperatures to a comfortable value. Without seat venting, this was around 22°C, with seat vending, went up to 25°. This saved ~300Wh/km. I did multiple runs, and the that seemed pretty stable. I will report back after some real cold days, and lets see how the values look.

I have vented and heated seats in the front and heated seats in the back. Both features are optional.

Space

This is the only non-electric feature i will talk about, but if you got this far, you are most likely interested in it.

And the space is amazing, on all levels.

Driver and passenger seat have leg room, you can fit 3 crates of german beer in the room on the passenger side.

The back seats also have enough space. A 2,03 meter friend sits comfortable there, with enough head and leg space.

And then for the trunk. I moved a single household of a friend in 3 tours. Bed, kitchen appliances and his office. The backrest has 3 parts. It took me a while to recognize this. You can lay it flat, and it looks like two pieces, but the center piece as a separate latch. So if you fit in something long (like some cable conduits), you are covered.

Conclusion

I like this car. While it does clearly have not the longest range or the fastes charge reads on the market, i don't find this limiting. Never was i annoyed by a charge break (only by broken chargers...), and on long distances, charging breaks are refreshing.

The 340PS are fun, and sometimes, just pedal to the metal, is just amazing.

And all the comfort features, from vented seats over the gesture media control to the onboard AI voice assistant, are well thought out and implemented.

Hands free driving on the Autobahn is a nice idea, for those who like it, i don't. I use the full steering assistant, but i am not comfortable taking my hands of that round thing in front of me.

Lane Change assist and parking features keep this monster manageable in rush hour traffic on the Autobahn and squeezing into tight parking spots.

But: There is a price. Literally. The car as it is standing in my driveway, comes in with 94k€. I am in the privileged position to get this car as part of my salary. If you can afford this amount of money, and are looking for an EV, give it a look. You get a solid BMW station wagon that drives like an BMW station wagon. It just is fun to drive it. And you get a lot of space. More then in most SUVs out there.

If you have questions, AMA

wenn ich "Söder" höre

 
 

Hey Leute,

nachdem wir nun endlich die Teil-Legalisierung durch ist und es sich langsam real anfühlt möchte ich ein riesiges DANKE sagen.

Danke, an alle die Jahrzente lang, und viel länger als ich, dafür gekämpft haben.

Danke, an unsere Ampel die das Thema tatsächlich ernst nimmt.

Danke, an die Landesregierungen die sich das noch mal überlegt haben.

2010 und 2014 war ich einer der Petenten für die Cannabis Legalisierung. 2015 habe ich zusammen mit anderen die Ablehnungsbegründung des Petitionssauschusses zu den vorherigen Cannabis Petitionen verwendet, und die Argumente auf Alkohol umgemünzt, um das Verbot von Alkohol zu fordern. Natürlich wurde diese Petition ebenfalls abgelehnt. Aber ich möchte euch ein Zitat aus dieser Ablehnung nicht vorenthalten:

Außerdem sieht sich der Gesetzgeber, auf Grund der kulturellen Verbreitung von Alkohol, nicht in der Lage den Konsum effektiv zu unterbinden.

In den letzten Jahren schwand die Hoffnung, das ich in einem Land leben werde, in dem ich Kiffen kann ohne strafrechtlich verfolgt zu werden.

Und doch, heute stehen wir an diesem Punkt.

Möglich wurde dies durch eine Vielzahl von Faktoren. Die wichtigsten für mich sind:

  • die vielen jungen Menschen die sich politisch engagieren. Die Einflussnahme der Jugendorganisationen auf ihre Mutter Parteien hat sehr viel dazu beigetragen
  • Die vielen Aktivisten die Außerhalb der Politik für die Legalisierung gekämpft haben (Grüße gehen raus an Richter Müller)
  • Ein Gesundheitsminister der Fakten-Basiert handelt und nicht aus politischem Kalkül oder Populismus

Ich wünsche euch allen schon mal einen sehr fröhlichen 01.04.2024 und bitte, hört nicht auf zu kämpfen. Wir brauchen die zweiten Säule, und natürlich die komplette Freigabe sobald die Versuchsprojekte erfolgreich waren.

Dazu gehört natürlich auch das CDU, CSU und AfD nicht an die Macht kommen dürfen. Sonst wird daraus garantiert nichts.

Geht wählen! Wählt Parteien die uns unterstützen werden, und schaut euch genau an was da die angeblich Christlichen Parteien so abziehen.

So Long, Loki

Am i to late for the stock photo memes?

Hey all,

i want to hack a portable AC. The devices communicates via UART between Mainboard and control unit (LCD and Buttons). As we still want to use the original controls, i had the idea to put an ESP32 in the middle of the communication (using UART2 for the mainboard and UART3 for the control board).

I don't want to reverse engineer the whole protocol, only the relevant parts. So, i need a way to forward all messages in both directions, to make this work as it should.

Has anybody done such a thing already? Or has any tips how to do it.

I'm fluent in C++, so there is not barrier here, but i am new to the codebase of ESPHome
