Apparently the new audacity owners are adding telemetry to it :/ This is....concerning. Especially because that PR discussion has _zero_ opposition to the feature being added

At this rate, if I downed a cocktail for everytime it turned out health data was leaked or vulnerable, I'd have no liver left.

Regardless firms need to take security researchers warnings seriously. Users shouldn't have to do due diligence on expensive devices and services.

Amazon had sales income of €44bn in Europe in 2020 but paid no corporation tax

Our tiny not-for-profit based in Ireland pays tax at the full rate. Meanwhile, Bezos doesn’t know what to do with his money and we don’t know if we can pay the rent next year.

#RFC1984 uh should they be transmitting that in the open? Not so smart metering.

@onepict although a lot of UK smartmeters send their data over LTE, there is sometimes a link from the clamp on the service cable to the meter head that uses 433,92 MHz, its fairly easy to scan that using an RTL-SDR (although last time I checked a couple of years ago half of the meters were misconfigured and not transmitting any correct data at all)

To recap:

1. In 2018, What Free Words (WFW) reverse engineers what3words (w3w) in a clean room with JavaScript.
2. WFW is ported to other languages.
3. In 2019, w3w legally goes after WFW for trademark and copyright infringement.
4. WFW is effectively pulled offline.

"Although the idea of one [USB-C] cable to support everything sounds very useful, the reality has quickly become a convoluted combination of proprietary versus on-spec products, differing cable qualities and capabilities, and opaque feature support. The result is a standard that looks simple to use but quickly leads to consumer frustration as there is no clear indication as to why certain cables and features don’t work across devices."
