My guess it's a situation where you leave the circuit closed all the time, then use some lovely app to turn your lights on and off, saving you the horrible toil of having to stand up and walk to a light switch. Except said lovely app decided it was time to update the firmware RIGHT NOW before allowing more light switch operations.

I don't understand why it doesn't turn off while updating.

E: no, that'd be worse if it were the only light in the room. on is just annoying, off could be dangerous if you were idiot enough to make a Hue critical to your life

yeah, I have software controllable light switches but the software part is secondary to their function as a light switch, which they maintain in the case of the network being totally severed

Interesting. The Dutch police opened a page on their website where you can enter your e-mail address to find out if it was in a compromised database, very similar to haveibeenpwned.com

Except, when you do so, it tells you the system will send a mail to that address with tips on how to secure it again, if it appears in their list. If it doesn't, they won't send you a mail.

I suppose that's a way to prevent people from seeing whether e-mail addresses that aren't theirs have been 'pwned'.

This seems kinda weird, the page is talking about botnets and says that your computer is probably infected but they're checking emails? idgi tbh

Well i'm bored in vegas, got no plans till an early dinner meetup tonight and already got my defcon badge so i will answer questions till my mifi is nearly out of batteries


to be clear, jello, you insipid loving backwoods redneck moron, i banned business catte because i had people at work being tracked down to be asked questions about me by the yospos irc sewing circle and frankly i didn't need that much internet in my real life. i still don't, so i'll ban this account too when my batteries get low and you can go back to being constantly wrong for another year. you kids proved that you aren't capable of being even vaguely grownup about people being honest in here about who they are or what they do, so i can't leave the two connected


btw i'm not answering anything about work that is either obvious trolling or over the line with poo poo i shouldn't/can't talk about, or poo poo i just don't feel like answering, but other than that let er rip
