TIL HP printers can exfiltrate telemetry from airgapped networks

According to the page, this is the data that is stored on the chip:

=== CUT === In addition, this memory chip collects a limited set of information about the usage of the product, which might include the following: The date when the toner cartridge was first installed The date when the toner cartridge was last used The number of pages printed using the toner cartridge Page coverage Printing modes used Any printing errors that might have occurred The product model === CUT ===

I don't like that they collect this info, but I don't see any really scary information mentioned there?

Whether I trust HP that is all they store and recover is an entirely other matter ;)

Voyager 1 stops communicating with Earth

https://blogs.nasa.gov/sunspot/2023/12/12/engineers-working-to-resolve-issue-with-voyager-1-computer/

Engineers are working to resolve an issue with one of Voyager 1’s three onboard computers, called the flight data system (FDS). The spacecraft is receiving and executing commands sent from Earth; however, the FDS is not communicating properly with one of the probe’s subsystems, called the telemetry modulation unit (TMU). As a result, no science or engineering data is being sent back to Earth.

View from Europe: The Increasingly Convincing Case for Canada Joining the EU

“Aside from the obvious fact that Canada’s only physical border with the EU is the 1.2 kilometre one on Greenland’s tiny Hans Island in the Nares Strait, Canada maintains an open trade regime and could, from a technical standpoint, transition relatively smoothly into the EU’s tariff-free internal market.”

Technically, Greenland is actually not a full member of the EU: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland_and_the_European_Union

DR lukker ned for rss og muligheden for brug af tredjeparts podcast apps.

"Vi gør det, fordi det er nødvendigt, for at vi også på længere sigt fortsat kan tilbyde et samlet, frit og tilgængeligt lydtilbud til alle danskere, som er uafhængigt af techgiganterne."

Og deres geniale løsning er at gøre deres public service programmer sværere at tilgå? Goddag mand økseskaft - den argumentation giver da ingen mening. RSS er en åben standard og har som sådan intet tech giganterne at gøre udover at mange bruger Apple's podcast bibliotek. Nogen i DR har vedtaget en strategi om at adgangen til deres materiale skal ske via deres egne apps/platforme og nu skal den for alt i verden blive en succes og så andre, i øvrigt fint fungerende løsninger bare dø.

Man kunne jo spørge DR hvorfor dette så eksisterer: https://www.dr.dk/service/tilgaengelighed/dr-tilgaengelighed-paa-facebook

Massive explosion rocks SpaceX Texas facility, Starship engine in flames

Reply in thread

Making space exploration 1000x cheaper basically. Not kidding, that’s roughly the goal I believe. That’s needed to make it possible to send enough stuff and people to Mars to make us a multi planetary species. It’s a completely crazy goal/idea, but that’s actually been the goal of SpaceX from the start. Getting Starship to work seems incredibly difficult and almost impossible, but so did landing a big booster rocket on a drone ship and today they do that so often it’s almost become boring.
