Fun experiment but not terribly surprising once you think about it. A signal is a signal, not matter what medium it passes through. If it’s not distorted and no additional noise is introduced, it should be indistinguishable.

The bigger impact would be from anything that interprets the signal, like and processing/crossover/speaker output.

That’s a fair point. I think home assistant initiates the connection, but I’m not sure how status updates work from the smart switch to home assistant. Could be home assistant polling, web sockets, or the switch broadcasting.

I get the security aspect of it, but in my case I can’t see a reason to go through the hassle. My smart switches talk to home assistant running on my server. I want new devices to be able to access the plex server without manual config. And my server is arguably the most sensitive machine on my network, so if I can’t protect that, I don’t think it’s worth protecting anything.

So the exploit redirected update traffic. Does that mean anyone who ran updates in that time period could have downloaded a compromised version and their machine would be infected?

Why isn’t that covered in the post?

Adjusting the depth of cut is kind of a constant thing. I adjust multiple times per board depending on how much I want to take off. It takes some practice to figure out how to deal with slop. If there’s no depth wheel, it’s even more tricky with tapping

Meaning it rips material out? Or the depth of cut is just too deep?

My little barrel is full unfortunately. I need to expand my capacity.

Yeah trying to give them away to someone who can use them

Mmmm piney

I have a trash bag full. I can get you more if you want to jump into a pile like autumn leaves.

The most visible piece isn’t technically joinery, but cutouts for my vise grip. Though the boards on the side are legs and stretchers for the workbench, all half laps. Just started that glue up last night

Building a workbench so I can do more hand planing!

Gave FreeCAD and darktable a solid try hoping to switch my main desktop, but they have significant usability problems

I’m a software engineer who does woodworking, and I approve this message.

But my favorite explanation: you grab your hand saw, and it works. You don’t find out that the latest npm japanese-hand-saw-tooth package is incompatible with plywood, and you need to downgrade the package or buy new plywood to make a cut.
