Yesterday, I learned from a friend that the software running the Evo E10 daizy book reader/digital recorder for the blind is based on, of all things, OpenWRT. Wait... what? Of course, you won't find that in any of the documentation. This friend only found out because he decided to telnet to the IP address associated with the E10 on his network. Also, the official website for this thing has an abundance of fantastic English. vin-vision.com/html/daisy_play…

It's called quishing when a criminal gets you on the hook via a QR code and you hand over personal information such as credit card details, passwords and your home address.
There are many hooks in our everyday environment today.
QR codes are found in hotels, gas stations, museums, restaurants, medical centers and many other places you trust. It takes a second for a criminal to cover a QR code with his own sticker. How would you tell the difference?
Via the fake QR code you are guided through a flow that feels like what you expect. It's just controlled by someone with nefarious intent.
The German magazine Auto Motor Sport reported earlier this week about how this affects gas stations. per.ax/autoqr
Imagine scanning a QR code at a charging station to start charging your electric car. You enter your credit card details and press start. But the charging doesn’t start. Because you just gave your card details to a criminal who put their own QR code sticker on the charging station.
A clever criminal will perhaps display an error message on the web page and redirect you to the real supplier, enabling you to start charging for real. In which case you may not even notice that money is being covertly withdrawn from your account until much later... or blame the charging supplier who is completely unaware...
But of course it doesn't just affect charging stations. It can happen anywhere.
Queuing systems at sampling locations increasingly rely on QR codes here in Sweden. Let's say a criminal covers this code with their own. You will arrive at a page that asks if you want to join the queue or pay the patient fee of 50 kronor in advance. You may know that you do not have to pay a patient fee. But does everyone know that? Maybe some will bite and pay.
If you join the queue, you will be directed to the correct queue. So not much to react to. And if you have paid the 50 kronor, you will then also be led to the correct queue.
The fake QR code can therefore go undetected for a long time.
As a company, do you know if someone perhaps has already covered your code and is quietly using it to create intermediate flows that steal personal data, or money? Do you have routines to check this? In some places, fake QR codes may live on year in and year out. Like a dripping data leak.
QR codes are in many cases a really, really bad idea from a security and privacy perspective. And it can be a real setback for your brand if people are duped on your premises. Or on your products.
So, do you encourage people to scan, or do you warn?
If I see a QR code in everyday life, I also see many ways to intercept and abuse it.
How did this vulnerability appear just about everywhere? It's as if QR codes have completely gone under the radar of security departments.
I will restructure this post for my blog/newsletter later, but didn't want to wait with my warning, after seeing the clear example from charging stations.

Due to mistaken origins, turkeys have different names around the world! They are called Hindi, which means “From India,” in Turkey, turkee in India, and galopoúla or moan barang, which means “French chicken” in Greece and Cambodia. But that’s not it; they’re also called la Dinde, or “Chicken from India,” in France; the shichimencho, or “Seven-Faced Bird,” in Japan, as their faces change color based on their mood; the Dutch Chicken in Malaysia, and gà tây or “Western Chicken” in Vietnam.
Možná by mě za to velká část národa zaškatulkovala jako "divnýho architekta", ale vážně se mi líbí bytovky ze 60. a začátku 70. let. Třeba tady je vidět snaha architekta o určitej akcent středový části pomocí tmavší omítky a drobnýho vyvýšení atiky, malý okýnka symetricky na středu mají nadpraží zarovnaný se sousedícíma oknama, a zábradlí na balkonech (pořád původní) jsou zajímavě z jedný strany doplněný závětrnou stěnou. Škoda, že těch bytovek se takhle v původní podobě dochovává čím dál míň.

Oh hey, forgot about this open issue lol. ChromeVox on ChromeOS is so dead. I made an issue for a feature to jump to the next/previous spelling error detected in a text edit area, and well, it's as dead as the ChromeVox What's new document. Oh wait they've not been sending out what's new emails to the ChromeVox email list since like version 94 or so.
More seriously though, a ton of schools, and jobs, are switching to ChromeBooks. I'm not saying one cannot be productive on a ChromeBook, because I was able to. But *only* with the help of Chrostini (Linux support) and Android apps. So like, you seriously have to use every single feature to get work done that's more than just Email and Google Docs.
I'm curious, how did Crostini help you be productive on a Chromebook? Were you able to run Emacspeak or a screen reader within the Linux environment? I'm guessing Crostini still doesn't make Linux GUI applications accessible with ChromeVox.

Después de leer el artículo y ver que la frase no está sólo en el título sino varias veces y, según el articulista, en boca de algún científico, sólo diré: Si se cita el arsénico como metal, muy científico no será el estudio. infolibre.es/ciencia/estudio-c…
Por curiosidad estuve buscando por ahí y es un metaloide. No conocía esta categoría. También lo habría metido con los no metales (nitrógeno, fósforo, arsénico y antimonio).
Dänemark hat als erstes Land der Welt eine CO₂-Steuer für die Landwirtschaft eingeführt. Es ist möglich, gute Klimapolitik zu machen, ohne die ganz großen Gegenproteste.
1/ So, so. Die #Bundeswehr möchte sich also mehr Vorbilder aus der Nazi-Zeit genehmigen. Es war nicht alles schlecht an der #Wehrmacht. Oder? Vielleicht bin ich in die falsche Schule gegangen, aber für mich klingt es wie ein absurde Idee, Menschen als Vorbilder einzustufen, die einen #Angriffskrieg befehligt haben.
Die Bundeswehr erweitert den Kanon ihrer Soldaten, in deren Tradition sie stehen will. Bei manchen Wehrmachts-Soldaten will man es nicht mehr so eng sehen.
2/ Die Westler waren ja schockiert als die Wehrmachtsausstellung in ihre Stadt kam: Nein! Opa doch nicht. Die waren alle immer lieb. Sie haben nur ihre Pflicht getan.
Die Wehrmacht war an den Verbrechen in Babyn Jar beteiligt. Zwei Tage lang (48 Stunden) haben sie die Juden aus Kiew erschossen. Diese wurden zu einer Schlucht gebracht und erschossen. Sie fielen dann in die Schlucht. 33.000 Männer, Frauen und Kinder.
3/ Im #Osten haben das alle in der Schule gelernt. Die #Frühlingssonate von Willy Bredel wurde in der 9. Klasse behandelt und alle Ossis hatten dieselben Lehrbücher und denselben Lehrplan.
Ich habe die entsprechenden Auszüge aus der Frühlingssonate in meinem Blog-Post zum Umgang mit dem #Holocaust in der DDR veröffentlicht.
Es wird immer wieder, auch von Ossis, behauptet, der Holocaust wäre im Osten nicht thematisiert worden. Das ist falsch, wie ich hier ausführlich zeige.
4/ Mir hatte jemand von dieser neuen Traditionsauffassung der #Bundeswehr erzählt und ich hatte im Netz gesucht. Da war es wohl noch nicht so weit vorgedrungen, die taz hatte erst später berichtet. Damals habe ich aber etwas Interessantes gefunden: einen Bericht des Wissenschaftlichen Dienstes des Bundestags zu #Rommel. Rommel war #HitlersGeneral. Er war das große Vorbild, von Hitler als solches aufgebaut und in Eigenregie von Rommel selbst noch verstärkt. Ich hatte mich hier schon früher darüber aufgeregt, dass Rommel der Namensgeber für zwei Kasernen der Bundeswehr ist. Ich dachte, dass das irgendwelche Relikte aus den 60ern seien, aber es ist ja noch viel, viel schlimmer. Es gab 2018 einen #Traditionserlass und im Zuge dessen, fand von der Leyen, die damalige Verteidigungsministerin, dass der Rommel schon ein dufter Bursche gewesen sei und es schon ok ist, Kasernen nach ihm zu benennen.
Rommel hat den Angriffskrieg des Nazi-Regimes in Afrika geleitet. Er wurde der #Wüstenfuchs genannt. Er war Hitlers General. In dieser Stelle wäre für mich schon Schluss. Egal, was er später noch getan hätte, jemand, der für Nazi-Deutschland Kriege geführt hat, kann kein Vorbild für eine Armee in einem demokratischen Staat sein.

I can't stand watching Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC most days, but he is spot on here. A lie is not an answer to a question, and the news media lined up to serve Trump's lies on their networks and pretend like he's answering questions. Yesterday's "press conference" being presented as if it was a newsworthy event, and not the insane incoherent ramblings of a man desperate for power, was a failure by everyone involved who was not Trump. youtu.be/ZD-oTJ49nls @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews #uspol
