I remember thinking the same when I first encountered Markdown. There are two ways to do this. Both have their own intended purpose.
A blank line between two blocks of text indicates that they are different paragraphs. You've been using this in place of line breaks, which adds extra space between the lines.
In order to get a normal line break that doesn't cause a jump to the next paragraph, you should end the line with two spaces before hitting enter, which you only hit once.
Is that intentional, if so why?
how does one disable that?
- Probably.
- You don't.
If you think this comment was a bit long, yeah, I padded it on purpose to demonstrate line breaks and paragraphs.
Markdown is used in tons of places that may not explicitly tell you. You might want to check out some guide: https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/
I mean, there's no information to be gained here. Whenever this guy promises something, it means absolutely nothing.
I count this as a meme because all it does is to kind of pass as a joke.
I have two issues with Mazda here:
using a Mazda developed API
You cannot copyright an API. They took down a foss project by using false copyright pretenses.
If you think all that infrastructure should be included free
That one I actually agree with, almost. Demanding infrastructure for free is unreasonable. It's just that the feature is artificially locked to said infrastructure. It didn't need it in the past.
Mazda's $10 subscription for remote start sparks backlash after killing open source workaround via DMCA takedown
Right-to-repair advocates believe that car owners should have full ownership of the technology embedded in their vehicles
- Step 1: Kill a free open-source app with a bogus DMCA takedown
- Step 2: Sell the same feature as a $10/mo. subscription.

There are things worse than that, even. And those things invalidate discussion of american school shootings as much as the shootings should invalidate this discussion.

Title changed:
> Nintendo launches $100 Wi-Fi alarm clock that requires a subscription.
That was wrong. Looks like subscription was just required to buy it online, which is less bad, but still kinda weird.
Some people just are like that.
Dampening means making something damp (wet). The word you're probably looking for is "damping."
I find victim blaming counterproductive. It would be more helpful to discuss stronger consumer protection laws.
It refers to the affected models, not the cause. The apple silicon iMac was a complete redesign.
it often means having to run the game twice on the same machine.
Not quite that much. A sane game would run all players in the same simulation, assuming they're in the same map. Multiple cameras would increase the amount of stuff drawn on screen, but at least the amount of pixels to calculate stays same, which helps a lot.
Pretty cool. The artist must be a highly trained professional.
Others said it's spyware, but they are also loan scammers.
I honestly don't know what data this browser exfiltrates, or what else malicious it might do, but I don't trust anyone this shady to run proprietary code on my devices. Scammers rarely respect any kind of boundaries.

> The San Francisco Chronicle reports that police in Oakland, California, and other places, have been obtaining warrants that allow them to tow Teslas that may have been parked within close proximity to local crimes. In many cases, police will get the driver’s permission before they access the data inside the vehicles. However, on rare occasions, when police feel the information needs to be gotten quickly, they will simply use a court-ordered warrant to tow the vehicle and empty it of its necessary evidence. > > The Chronicle reports that the warrant-and-tow method has been used by Oakland police in at least three instances over the past two months. The cars’ external cameras, paired with its sophisticated network of sensors, can prove particularly helpful in solving cases. In one recent case in the city, a woman was shot and killed after a group of men pulled guns on one another and began shooting. Police took advantage of video recorded by a nearby Tesla to aid their investigation. Ultimately, two men were arrested several weeks later and charged with murder, the newspaper reports.

Dutch white hat hacker uses backdoor to gain control of millions of solar panel systems, prompting industry calls for more rigorous safety assessments within the EU
An ethical hack of solar panels in the Netherlands has revealed their vulnerability to cyberspace attacks, prompting calls for more rigorous safety assessments by the industry.
cross-posted from: https://feddit.org/post/1885722 >Archived link > > Here is the original article in Dutch (gated) > > While wind turbines, which are highly networked and equipped with hundreds of sensors, are traditionally considered more vulnerable to outside interference than solar panels, a Dutch citizen may have proved otherwise. > > A Dutch white hat hacker could have gained control of millions of smart solar panel systems, using a backdoor. > > The findings confirm a 2023 report by a Dutch agency which found that converters, essential parts of solar panels that make the electricity suitable for the power grid and which are usually connected to the web, can be “easily hacked, remotely disabled or used for DDoS [Distributed Denial of Service] attacks.” DDoS is one of the most common types of attacks, which basically try to overwhelm a system. > > EU industry association SolarPower Europe said the bloc “needs more robust cybersecurity rules for distributed energy sources” in a statement commenting on the hack. > > The share of solar power in the European grid has surged from 1% in 2010 to 9% in 2023, and with it the disruptive potential of a cyberattack on solar panels has likewise grown. > > “Devices that can be centrally co-ordinated or managed (for example, aggregated rooftop solar installations) must be subject to an EU or nationally authorised layer of monitoring,” stressed Dries Acke, deputy CEO of the lobby group. > > A report by the EU’s own cybersecurity agency from 24 July found that the union is ill-prepared for a concerted attack on its energy infrastructure, whether by a foreign state or by malicious insiders. > > With electricity being so essential, any attack on Europe “attracts considerable pre-positioning activity by advanced threat actors” in the power sector should they aim at “executing a destructive attack” it adds. > > Solar panels were outlined as a vulnerability in several scenarios, also due to the dominance of a single country, China, in the supply chain. > > The industry says that while laws like the updated EU Network and Information Security Directive, known as NIS2, and the Cyber Resilience Act are a start, more action is needed: solar panels should be classified as a critical product, which means they’d be subject to more rigorous assessments. > > These concerns come as the EU’s home-grown solar industry cites cybersecurity as a reason why they should receive preferential treatment, which would help them regain market share from Chinese competitors. > > “Future-looking cyber requirements should come under an EU Electrification Action Plan,” said Acke, adding that “Europe must learn from its recent lessons in energy security, and map a secure path forward.”

Ecovacs home robots can be hacked to spy on their owners, researchers say
Researchers found flaws that could allow anyone to spy on the owners of Ecovacs home robots by hijacking their cameras and microphones.

When they analyzed several Ecovacs products, the two researchers found a number of issues that can be abused to hack the robots via Bluetooth and surreptitiously switch on microphones and cameras remotely. > > “Their security was really, really, really, really bad,” Giese told TechCrunch in an interview ahead of the talk. > > The researchers said they reached out to Ecovacs to report the vulnerabilities but never heard back from the company, and believe the vulnerabilities are still not fixed and could be exploited by hackers.
