- Comment on US Government Urges Total Ban of Our Most Popular Wi-Fi Router 1 week ago:
I will add the following:
US was looking at this before Trump took office (Dec 2024)

TP Link’s sloppy security lead to the creation of a Chinese botnet.
- Comment on US Government Urges Total Ban of Our Most Popular Wi-Fi Router 1 week ago:
Here are two new vulnerabilities from this month.
Here are some more exploits from 2023
Here are all the TPLink vulnerablies known publicly
Am I really at risk, and anymore than I would be with something from Linksys or Netgear? As always, depends on your threat model and attack surface. I have cheap TPLink switch in my home network because its cheap and kept behind a pfsense firewall. The TPLink switch is not allowed to talk to the internet. This is good enough for me.
For completeness here are Cisco’s and Netgear’s vulnerabilities
Infosec security is a journey, not a destination.
- Comment on US Government Urges Total Ban of Our Most Popular Wi-Fi Router 1 week ago:
Good. TPLink routers are cartoonishly insecure. They are consumer grade. A better solution is that the US establishes some minimum infosec standards for this equipment, but that would require time and thought.

- Comment on Security camera recommendations? 5 weeks ago:
I have Reolinks that I just set up. The floodlight camera needed the app to set it up WiFi, BUT I didn’t need an account. I can access my cameras using their app over wireguard. Its nice.

- Comment on Odd wiring in a 2-gang 2 months ago:
No need for complex software. Paper+pens+camera is good enough. I would recommend MS Paint, but Lemmy users will quickly point out the existence of GIMP.
- Comment on Odd wiring in a 2-gang 2 months ago:
Take a contactless voltage detector (or multimeter) to the hot and neutral of the fixture. When the breaker is on, is it 120v? What about when the breaker is off? If its something in between then you might be dealing with mixed hot and neutrals from different branches (sketchy)
I’m struggling to visualize this. Can you make a diagram of what you have verified?

in which U.S. personnel with security clearances supervise foreign engineers, including those in China.
Yeah from the a security clearance perspective there really isn’t any difference between China based engineers, Chinese spies, and Joe America accessing classified code without being cleared by the DoD.
If an individual did this “escort” scheme, they would be arrested.

I’ve been saying for years the think Spotify needs are short form vertical format video clips. The whole “music” thing is a fad.
- Comment on Trump mobilizing up to 1,700 National Guards troops in 19 states in crime crackdown 2 months ago:
So 89 troops per state? TF are they going to do? Respond to calls slower than cops? Stand near a peaceful protest? Guard a federal building? Learn to be detectives and work cold cases with their brigade while documenting their progress by producing a biweekly true crime podcast?

- Comment on Shit like this is why we need open source printers! 2 months ago:
I don’t think any of the DRM, EURion, or microdot stuff happens on the driver level. I think its baked into the firmware.
