  • I'd argue that's just a ripple effect of being a bad dev, not necessarily the tools fault, but I do get where you are coming from. But also vulnerabilities in some package in a container would be isolated to that container without a further exploit chain

  • Being for profit as a legal entity doesn't necessarily mean they will exploit every angle they can to make a profit. When a company has to answer to shareholders, like when they go public or sell private share to raise capital, that's when it becomes a real issue. It really depends on their bylaws and who's running the organization otherwise.

  • Just some background on the cryptography going on:

    Its a hash of a fingerprint of your iris that isn't used for access, it's used for Sybil resistance, which is a bit different. You wouldn't use this to prove you are eligible to vote, only that you haven't voted already for a specific election.

    Under the hood, the iris scanning ball thing is just adding you to a membership registry. When you actually go to use your membership, you are generating a semaphore proof, which is a zero knowledge proof that you are in the registry with some nullification output so you can only participate in certain events some number of times (like voting once). You wouldn't use this by itself to prove that you are eligible to vote.

    Generating secret keys from public data (iris)

    These aren't exactly secret keys, but, yes, I agree. Also the Minority Report vibes weird me out.

  • It's USB-C, there are POE adapters. It's low wattage using an esp32, you could absolutely use a USB c poe splitter for this.

  • You know! ❤️

  • Torx for anything that needs to be torqued or used with power tools, Robertson (square) for anything intended to be used with hand tools or more finer work (a screwdriver)

  • May the torque be with you

  • Right, field maintenance, especially when you don't have access to tools is a bit of an exception. Personally I think using take down pins for guns is the way to go for field maintenance anyway.

  • Ya Ikea standardized on hex because it's cheap to mass produce. It definitely strips though.

    Torx has slowly been gaining popularity in the US for a decade or two now, but sadly Phillips is still pretty popular and hex is pretty common also, you will see the square/Robertson screws a lot in electrical panels and in cabinetry but not super common at the hardware store.

  • May the torque be with you

    Jump

  • The way I see it, anything with a square bit can be done by with a hand held screw driver, and anything with a torx bit should probably be torqued to a certain amount and/or be used with a screw gun. Square/Robertson bits are used super often in things like electrical panels and electronics. They are becoming pretty common for cabinetry also. I doubt you'll see a torx screw in cabinets.

  • First 3d Printer Recommendations

    Jump

  • **Get a Bambu printer. Do not get an ender. **

    I own quite a few 3d printers and got into it in the late 2000s with MakerBot. I have learned a lot, and have tried to drag friends into the hobby, and most of them have been highly frustrated until Bambu came along.

    Please, just get a Bambu printer, right now nothing else compares. Bambu isn't fully FOSS (firmware isn't) but people are working on open source firmware. Their slicer software is open source.

    For printing anything for a car, don't use PLA, I'd suggest PETG, ABS, ASA, or Nylon if you get a printer that can handle that (prob more than $300). PLA will warp in a car from heat/sunlight.

    A Bambu A1 is $340 without the AMS lite. If you get that and like it, I'd recommend getting the AMS lite so you can do multi color and multi material prints. It can handle PLA and PETG which should meet most hobby needs. If you want to get into actually doing robotics stuff with it more seriously, sell the A1 and get a P1P.

  • Square (Robertson) and/or torx depending on application. Square should be for everyday things and torx should be for anything mechanical, yes I know there is a big gray area in the middle there, but flat head, phillips, and hex need to go.
