True, won’t be a problem for this use case though

So long as it’s wifi yeah, everyone can hear everything on wifi when your in range

If your freezer is on your local wifi and your computer is also on the local wifi you should be able to see all the packets it is transmitting over the wifi with Wireshark on your computer. If either your computer or freezer has a hard connection then you’ll need a little more trickery as switches/home routers minimise network congestion by directing traffic to specific MAC addresses as required.

Assuming you are all wifi, basically you load Wireshark (is free software, easily downloaded) and tell it to capture all packets from your wifi adaptor (there should be a handy option on the initial screen when you load the application). Once you start capturing you’ll be capturing everything on your wifi so it pays to be quick with what you want to achieve to minimise the data.

So, once you start capturing you open your fridge door a few times, leave it open till it beeps, maybe do that twice, then stop capturing. Following that you will just need to filter the capture by all packets from your fridges network IP or MAC (you should be able to find these from your home router). Once you have all the packets you should be able to click on them and expand all the details to see what data they are sending and where it’s being sent to. You should also see all the packets coming back from the vendor.

Have you captured the data with Wireshark to see if it’s readable? Could you have adguard/pihole/etc spoof the target DNS to a local server that then strips the data out of the packets and forwards them on to your homeassistant? Or have they garbled the information with some proprietary nonsense?

No, it should definitely not need to talk to Samsung to share basic information with your homeassistant

Can’t it just beep?

It’s not really a rumour …

People are hiring … just you need to be Chinese and in China …

I don’t find that at all at my work, I have access to AI but I am in no way forced to use it. I can confidently say that most tasks I undertake cannot be made appreciably more efficient by using an AI. At the end of the day I’m liable for my decisions as an engineer and my decisions have the capability to affect whether a quite large group of people live or die. I need to be sure of the answer. I might use it as a search tool or to draft a template back bone, but I need to verify the information from a reliable source before I use it so I can’t take a summary and assume it’s right. I would need to read all sources and likely rewrite most of it anyway to feed it into a larger more targeted document so I might as well be writing it from scratch by utilising the sources directly. It is not feasible to get an existing AI to make effective drawing markups or modifications, I don’t believe that capability will ever exist.

I assume they just finished the meeting via zoom and increased the bribes to the city council?

So deleting a person’s ai companion isn’t punishing them? I think they might disagree …

You may have missed the comment I was responding to?

Meth isn’t helpful but more effort needs to be put into resolving the root causes rather than putting out fires.

The fire fighting is still required, we certainly should be seeking to make it harder for criminals to push their poison on the population and punish them where we can, but ultimately they wouldn’t have a market if we correctly identified why users were using and developed more effective ways to help them to not use.

Punishing the users typically only achieves more cost in running prisons and pushes them further into the spiral that keeps them using.

So can we assume Hegseth has low test, has started having TRT and now thinks everyone needs it?

I can only delete windows so many times … sadly my work won’t let me delete the install on my work laptop

Ohhhh, so they need to go collect some favours post haste, assuming the dementia hasn’t already moved him on from that grift …

The whole EATCS radiates 70kW, so less than one modern data centre rack. Helpful!

Yeah I’ll pay that, you can’t radiate it effectively enough for data centre applications though.

Oh so youre saying we should convert the heat generated by the data centres to wide spectrum EM and emit that instead? Amazing! There should be no issues with outputting watts or kilowatts of EM from each of these assuredly numerous space data centres.

You may note that this thread is talking about data centre reliability …

Also you can’t radiate heat in space …
