Is there any way to use wero without handing out my mobile phone number to everyone? I'd prefer handing over IBAN or some alias over phone number.

As a Fedora user, I thought Debian would be more secure.

What's wrong with your Fedora installation? Mine doesn't do that (also without a TPM chip)

How good of a conductor wood is depends on its state. If it is very dry and not salty, this should be safe (although he could have taken the piece of wood more at the end to increase the distance between him and the fence and the length=isolation through the piece of wood). If it is wet and salty, it might be dangerous.

If this is true (or at least plausible to the relevant people), the author of that Twitter post will probably be on the radar of any shady government agency worldwide. Not a nice situation to be in.

Are you sure? Doesn't the "smart edison bulb" design make it harder to dissipate heat to the casing, therefore making the LEDs get hotter compared to PCBs with LEDs surface mounted on them?

Anyway, if you want your ~~light bulbs~~any technology to last long, don't buy the "smart" variant. "Smart" usually means more components and/or more dependencies on interfaces, and more complexity, so a higher chance to fail.

TIL my thesis could have been easier if Typst would have been available years earlier.

Maybe they should ban trowing away your trash instead.

Capitalist perfection: you are paid for cycling, don't do anything else!

Correction, 50% of VOTING Americans are VOTING fascist. Doesn't necessarily mean they are fascist themselves.

Same question on reddit a while ago

As suggested there, I recommend to use a multimeter to identify the power socket pins. Roughly half of them should be ground. Most or all of them should correspond and be connected to the SATA power connector pins on the other side.

+1 on that. The User's guide of a similar device (source) mentions a 10-pin CPLD connector Reserved for IBM use
