Here is the main video I watched that breaks down a recent ish CVE and at the end he gives some thoughts on TP-Link, D-link, and another and just his professional security opinion on them.
It is only one source, but I think it’s a strong one.
TP-Link has a bad history of significant security vulnerabilities that have to either be gross negligence or intentional backdoors. Consumer router firmware is notoriously neglected in the grand scheme of tech, but TP-Link is exceptionally bad. Your average and even most above average techies probably have no idea unless they follow security releases or live in the security world. I personally wouldn’t know much if anything about them if not for some YT content I watch about software and security. I don’t love blanket blocking of stuff, but this one I feel is necessary to help protect an ignorant population.
I 100% agree with the sentiment that Trump is way more dangerous, because he is, but the two issues can be addressed (or not unfortunately) at the same time. If our reps won’t stop Trump, and not going to be upset over he small wins that we do get.
That’s sexy
Probably the same person or at least fabricated by the same electrical engineer.
Am I the only one that just ignores calls and texts that I don’t want to respond to immediately or ever? I never have my ring volume up and I’ve muted almost all of my group chats, so only individual messages get through. My Pixel also does call screening which blocks a lot of trash from getting to me, and I keep space in my VM for when I have important calls get through that I either can’t or don’t want to answer.
We can only hope.
Yea, really I just wanted to piss and moan about Nvidia. Realistically, I’ll find alternatives if the need arises, but it won’t be to the tune of a $3k purchase.
If they added download options on different taxonomies, I’d try to grab some things to archive.
Nah. I don’t have a computer to game, but I built my computer to game. Consoles at this point are smart data collection devices that also play games. I wouldn’t introduce that into my network at home. I could get a steam deck though…
I get rarely but newer AAA titles but grab them later on sale. There will be a point when either my card fails or just can’t keep up. If I’m pigeon holed to only lower graphics games, so be it.
Either devs are going to have to start finding ways to keep next gen games functioning properly on my 2080ti, or I’m going to have to find a different hobby if AMD follows suite. I will absolutely not be coming close to paying for anything on that scale.
That’s a bit more than my home server can handle. I could maybe take some CDC data, but definitely not the full shebang. It would be neat if someone could segment the data so we could save some more critical things.
Any idea the size of IA? Could it be packaged in some torrents and distributed to the masses for decentralized archiving? I’m guessing it’s way more than I could store.
The three comments or retweets or whatever the fuck they are that kissed are the exact people I expected to still be on Twitter.
If you’re just running it in AP mode and extending from your base router you will be better off than if it’s your WAN device. I don’t know enough about these exploits to know how they are executed, so I can’t give you a solid answer, but I think it’s best to err on the side of caution when it comes to your data security.
If you’re fairly tech savvy and willing to put in a little effort, you can flash the firmware on the TP-Link with something open source like openWRT and that would eliminate any exploits directly caused by their coding. I haven’t done this in years, but I’m sure there are plenty of guides to walk you through this. It would require resetting up your network, but you’d need to do that if you replaced anyway.
Personally, I would replace the device with something higher quality. I don’t have recommendations for you, but I’m sure there are some resources you can find with security minded device recommendations. For “pro-sumer” grade stuff, where it’s better than your off the shelf options but not enterprise grade, I’ve heard Unify is a good option, but it’s complicated and expensive.
