Thank you!

What's your model of choice? I want to try to get away from Claude and move it to a local model.

Jumping straight to vehicles might be much. But you can definitely start hacking away at small iot devices or routers. They usually have poor/no security and are a great way to get your feet wet.

There are whole youtube channels dedicated to reverse engineering small consumer devices.

What do you do when traveling? Do you ever feel dependent on it?

What about the noise and bulk of the mask?

I'm a border case if I need or not. And I'm reluctant to make the jump.

Not the same guy. But I've been using foldables since 2019 as my primary phone. Samsung fold 1 -> 3 -> 5. No case, no protectors, keys with phone in same pocket. Never had an issue.

What if the kid lies and says they didn't use AI? How successful have they been in convincing admin and parents of their ai usage? While I agree its all damning, its still circumstantial evidence.

They can be jailbroken for full local control. The internals are raspberry pis. There are projects that will replace the ui with open source alternatives and disable the data collection.

Its a good bed once you strip away the stupid software gimmicks.

Router based is best. If your router doesn't support wg out of box. Use a rpi or something to create the tunnel on the network and then use a static route on the router to make the remote network routable. The rpi is the next hop for whatever your remote network address range is.

If they gave a newbie full r/w creds to a prod db, that's 100% on them and not you.

I'm out of the loop. What did he do?

Don't buy lto5. Lto6 is the sweet spot right now.

I can buy lto6 drives on ebay for 250ish. Tapes are like 15-25 bucks each.
