I don’t know if you could call their systems universal, there are a lot of people in those countries that can’t access the systems. You could probably say universal healthcare for citizens, and in Saudis case a select group of citizens.
I see what your saying. It’s a broad concept but the process for professional recognition can accommodate that. The topic at question is how do we ensure engineers are ethical in how they operate and professional registration and protection of the role along with the assurances that go with that are a good way to achieve it. I know in law in Australia you must be registered with the local law regulator to practice and members must adhere to strict ethical standards. If you are reported and found to be breach those standards you will not be able to practice any more. Meanwhile engineers are polluting and building weapons ad nauseum with limited repercussions. Engineers are held accountable in most regions legally but laws usually apply to safety, not building/designing unethical things.
So I find the UK a good example of how professional registration can be done well. Each discipline has an organisation that handles chartership specific to that discipline. The IET does a lot of lifting for all things electrical, including communications/telecoms, but I believe they would cover some software engineering depending on what your focus was. BCS, CISec or IfSE would likely cover most software engineering.
My experience tends to be with the IET. They are internationally recognised and have branches in a lot of countries. If you have no local support within your company they will connect you with an existing chartered member in your field who can help with advice and chartership application review. I know with Engineers Australia you can migrate your chartership from the IET to Engineers Australia without too much difficulty. Engineers Australia is a single organisation for all disciplines which is then open to the issues you mention. The UK orgs are all regulated by the engineering council which manages a consistent specification for all orgs to hold their members to, the orgs then review applications specific to the discipline against the requirements of the spec.
Unrelated discipline? Why would you claim to be an engineer if your work was not related to engineering?
I switched to obsidian and haven’t looked back. It doesn’t appear to have stylus input in the core application (I don’t need that), but it does look like there are a couple of community plugins that enable the support. Not sure how good they are though.
A professional engineer would be someone who’s chartered with a recognised engineering institution (Engineers Europe and it’s related Orgs in Europe, Engineering Council and related orgs in the UK, Engineers Australia in Australia etc) and the title would depend on the what the institution want to call them. The professional instution outlines ethical and behavioural requirements to maintain membership.
An Engineer usually refers to someone who does a job related to design and planning for a technical discipline (civil, mechanical, structural, electrical, software etc). The job role usually requires a degree in he engineering disciple, but if you were a particularly fantastic and experienced technical person you might be able to fill the role without one. There will likely be areas of knowledge where you’d be lacking in that case though.
I’m saying the job role could be made to require the chartership to help enforce adherence to the ethical requirements of those governing institutions.
Yeah I agree with this
You’d have to make engineer a protected title for that and enforce membership and chartership with your locally recognised engineering institutions to allow working under the title. They do that in Queensland Australia. It’s not enforced in our other states, which is odd given Queensland is Australia’s Florida …
Getting a job as an engineer in the UK was hard work because every ridiculous job and it’s dog was claiming to be an engineering role. The guy terminating a wall socket for your internet connection: telecoms engineer apparently. Rough gig for having burnt 5 years at university …
TiVo still exists?!
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?
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?
Pretty sure I already grew a bunch of brain-computer interfaces
