Yeah, I agree that’s the easiest path to take in properly securing it.

Oh I’ve got nothing against how the librarians handled it. I’m more concerned that their IT staff failed to properly shield the library from liabilities like OP.

Yeah, this argument is bullshit once you actually know what you’re talking about instead of following some cult videos that teach you to repeat them.

I have to admit, I never thought of this as a way to bypass the captive portal (sorta just assumed everyone going through the public network would have to hit it, kinda of the equivalent to having everyone sign a liability waiver).

That’s because if that library’s network was properly configured it would work exactly like your expectation.

Yeah, having services blocked on Wi-Fi and not ethernet just tells me that their IT staff didn’t properly configure the network in public areas properly. That ethernet port should have been disabled, physically locked, or properly configured to use the public network like the Wi-Fi does.

I plugged into ethernet (as wifi w/captive portal does not work for me). I think clearnet worked but I have no interest in that. Egress Tor traffic was blocked and so was VPN. I’m not interested in editing all my scripts and configs to use clearnet, so the library’s internet is useless to me (unless I bother to try a tor bridge).

Yeah… Trying to bypass their security by using ethernet instead of Wi-Fi to use your own stuff that’s being blocked is tantamount to abusing the library’s services. Someone should let the IT staff know so they can properly block those services on ethernet as well.

of course, this fact didn’t stop the author from running with this absolute lie, the media entity from publishing the deception, and most of the comments here are falling for the perversion of truth and are clowning on and smearing an entire township.

Oh we do know what happens, it’s all over Lemmy. Lies and twisted truths people believe because it lines up with their agenda.

Samsung store does that too. It’s quite annoying

Makes 0 difference. The charging circuit is in charge of that logic and will accept whatever voltage is supplied (within spec) and step it down to what the battery needs.

They all do it now (except USPS?)

Hidden messages? There are thousands of messages your device sends every day that you don’t know about. It’s how your phone functions like it does.

Not to mention that IDF soldier is probably some 20 year old.

Plenty of homeless on earth in the expanse

Clarification says it still logs, but doesn’t send off the logs in LAN only mode.

For one, it’s so much quieter than the 3. The drawer was redesigned to be much easier to replace the bag. Sleep timers can now be defined with start and end times for both weekdays and weekends. The 3 only allows an 8 hour sleep with a given start time. The cat detection sensors are much better at detecting cats. There is now a litter level sensor. The cat weight sensor is probably nice, but with 4 cats, they’re too close in weight to get any good use out of it. It also looks nicer.

These things are ridiculously expensive. I will say that we have a hesitant cat, and she eventually started using these litter boxes as well.

The LR4 is such a nice upgrade from the 3. I now own both due to having 4 cats. It’s a night and day difference between the two. Not saying the 3 isn’t amazing at what it does, but the 4 addresses so many issues I’ve had with the 3.

The same way any degreed doctor would.

Enough facilities offer fully certified doctors and technicians on the same level you would find in any other medical facilities.

You’re saying that as if it was a one time event. This was over decades, and it’s still ongoing.
