How frequently business leaders will ignore advice from experts and "go with their gut" instead.

What's the over/under on SCOTUS ruling in favor of Trump when these are eventually appealed?

I guess dog whistles are a thing of the past? People can just go around saying whatever they want and not have to worry about being shamed for being openly racist. Like internet comment sections have spilled out into real life.

Wait, politicians lie? But, but... Republicans are all about morality and goodness. I'm shocked! SHOCKED, I TELL YOU!

In order to view video from the camera, it had to be a Wyze cam v1 (last sold in 2018), the "hacker" would need to know the randomly generated ID of the camera, which they could get if they were connected to the same WiFi as the camera - or try to guess it. With the ID, a "hacker" could access the SD card remotely and download video files. It also allowed them to turn the camera on and off and, on pan-tilt models, move the camera.

Wyze took too long to disclose this (they found out about it in 2019 and didn't disclose it for 18 months). Nobody knows if this flaw was ever taken advantage of. They tried to patch the hardware but weren't able to do so. Wyze said they issued a patch within 1 month of learning about the flaw, but I haven't determined exactly what was patched. They also noted in Feb of 2022 they couldn't patch the hardware fully, and retiring the v1 cameras was the only option to resolve the issue.

Click on Magazines and use the search tool there. The global search doesn't appear to work. When you search for a community you can search with the full name ([email protected]) or just a term (wall street). If you use a full address, don't include the leading @ or !, it won't return any results. And the search isn't like google. Wall street will return different results than wallstreet, for instance.

*edit: My post below gets some things wrong. See https://lemmy.world/post/149743 by @AgentGoldfish for a better explanation. You can stop reading here unless you like partially incorrect information.

There have been several answers to this, but I don't think everything has been fully explained.

Instances are not aware of other instances by default. So, if someone creates a new #Lemmy or #Kbin server nobody will be aware of it.

Now, when a user on your new Lemmy server (CoolLemmy) starts following a community or user on another server (LemmySphere), that server becomes aware. CoolLemmy will start showing all the content from LemmySphere in its "All" feed. Also, all content from CoolLemmy starts to appear in the "All" feed on LemmySphere.

Next, when a user on CoolLemmy starts following a community on SpaceLemmy, LemmySphere will also show SpaceLemmy content in their All feed. This is how one big web of content starts growing (federating) across all of these different instances.

Sidebar (and this is an important point): let's say a CoolLemmy user posts a comment on a LemmySphere thread. What happens? Their comment, and any images, etc., are saved on CoolLemmy, not LemmySphere. Please keep this in mind if you are on a server that doesn't want NSFW content, illegal content, drug content, etc, on their server. If you think you are posting NSFW content on a NSFW Lenny instance you are actually posting it on your local server, which may get you banned.

So, let's say SpaceLemmy starts doing things that LemmySphere doesn't like. LemmySpere defederates (blocks) them. Users on SpaceLemmy will still see LemmySphere posts and comments (public content can be viewed by anyone). SpaceLemmy users can add threads and comments (which, remember, are saved on SpaceLemmy) on Communities and threads on LemmySphere, but LemmySphere is not going to show them to their users - SpaceLemmy has been blocked. SpaceLemmy users will still see them and, because CoolLemmy and SpaceLemmy are still federated, CoolLemmy is still going to see those comments and posts.

If CoolLemmy also defederates SpaceLemmy then, in this example, only SpaceLemmy users will see SpaceLemmy content.

If SpaceLemmy defederates both SphereLemmy and CoolLemmy, only then will SpaceLemmy stop showing content from those other servers.

Defederating is the equivalent of closing your eyes and putting your fingers in your ears and saying, "la la la I can't hear you" and actually meaning it.
