FWIW I replaced my Samsung “smart” TV by a Nebula Mars video projector. It’s very convenient and let’s me forget I have it, tucked away and hidden most of the time. Yes it is “smart” but it’s Android and I can connect via adb to it to install apps like VLC, make it start on boot, etc. I’m not updating it.

Next time I do buy a replacement though I’ll verify first in forums if it can be rooted to have the level of control I need. Maybe there will be a OSHW equivalent to https://www.crowdsupply.com/open-tools/open-printer for video projectors as unfortunately it seems like a trend.

Meanwhile ASML just stops doing R&D and give up on its extremely specialized supply chain. /s

Eh… I have one and use it.

What are you monsters using, a spoon?! /s

FWIW I also have a butter knife, a saucer, 3 graters… I mean nobody needs any of that, you can survive with knives and forks but if you do cook frequently, good tools help IMHO.

They don’t want to wake up until they have something else more appealing to put their money on. They NEED something to invest. They don’t care what it is, or even if it works but it has to be plausible enough to make money, more money.

Until there is another scam to put their money in, they are stuck in the bubble, like us.

That’s actually pretty wise, what if your then autistic dog outsmarts you now thanks to their autism? /s

FWIW (and I know it’s not the joke…) it’s perfectly fine to remove the mouth piece while scuba diving. In fact it’s part of basic training. You should be able to remove the mouth piece and take another one, your octopus or the one of your buddy, in case there is an incident.

No… the real question for a good diver is how the heck you’re going to say HDMI 2.1 with hand signs! /s

3 tries then what, data wipeout?

I don’t think that matters as much as the delay because with brute force you can precisely go through a LOT of possibilities so the practical aspect is the attempt frequency. Even 1 number if it’s 1 attempt per decade is enough to prevent intrusion.

I don’t think infinite attempts is the issue, I think the timing of those attempts is what practically limit the usefulness of the attack. Here in the Apple example I imagine rebooting the phone takes longer than 30s. Also if one goes to the length of removing the battery of an iPhone to crack it, this is a pretty serious attempt. One better have proper protections in place.

Is there a way to verify that? I did run Servo months ago and some pages did render without issues. Others not but that wasn’t enough for me to draw such a conclusion. I remember Mozilla pushed for https://webcompat.com/ so wondering if this can be used to see the pace of change.

It renders… so what is missing for you to use it?

PIN bruteforcing.

Curious, how does that work? 10000 possibilities aren’t many but you get 30s break every 3 failed attempts then 5 more then its every single failed attempts so that’d be ~5000minutes so that’s about 3 days. Assuming they get “lucky” it’s about 1.5 day. I don’t know though what happens after 20 failed attempts, maybe it’s 1min break or 20min break.

Basically, does PIN bruteforcing actually work and if so on what timeframe?

Open an issue to explain why it’s not enough for you? If you can make a PR for it that actually implements the things you need, do it?

My point to say everything is already out there and perfectly fits your need, only that a LOT is already out there. If all re-invent the wheel in our own corner it’s basically impossible to learn from each other.

If I understand correctly then this means mostly adapting the interface?

Sure, you’re right, I just worry (maybe needlessly) about people re-inventing the wheel because it’s “easier” than searching without properly understand the cost of the entire process.
