Thank you for that! I’m keeping the cvedetails link bookmarked.

My two devices, the Archer BE9300 router and the TL-WA3001 AP aren’t listed with any known vulnerabilities, though I suppose it may be they haven’t been tested. The BE9300 is pretty popular though so that would be surprising.

The known vulnerabilities in their other devices don’t appear malicious or any worse than other common vendors either however. Given the state of the US government and its desire to monitor it’s citizens, I can’t decide if it’s contempt for TP-Link is a bad thing or not. They might just be mad they can’t get the vendor to give them a backdoor.

A solution to what exactly? Nobody has provided any information about definitive risks.

An as OpenWRT goes it would either be a permanent solution or no solution at all. How would it be temporary?

I have one mikrotik poe AP I use and am quite happy with, but certainly not something I’d recommend for non-technical people because it’s firmware isn’t consumer friendly.

However my question is really what’s the real risk in using TP-Link devices. Neither the article or any of the comments link to any explanation of the actual risks. Is my network actually open to hackers now? Is my router able to be used for dos attacks or for other purposes now? Everyone is acting like their flaws are common knowledge and there’s zero info about genuine flaws or exploits.

Do you have any information to share about their bad security? I have a couple of their routers which seem to work quite well. Any I really at risk, and anymore than I would be with something from Linksys or Netgear?

What’s this provide that LibreWolf doesn’t?

What is legal and what is moral aren’t always the same. Exporting him is absolutely immoral.

43 years of his life lost due to a wrongful conviction and instead of trying assist him after he’s suffered tragically due to the state’s failure, the state is making him disappear. Those 43 years vastly overpaid any “debt” he had to society for his drug conviction. Have compassion for an old man that’s suffered such unrecoverable loss.

Whatever your thoughts about immigration, neither immigrants or their children deserve to live in fear of violence from a government, particularly one that claims all people have certain “unalienable rights”.

Powershell works really well on other OSs now. I use it on MacOS and Linux daily. I might loath MS but Powershell is a fantastic shell and after working with an object-oriented shell I hate going back to anything else.

Renting and pets have always been a problem, and the higher the occupancy rate the less likely landlord’s allow pets. I certainly understand from a landlords perspective pets damage things and replacing all the carpet because cats pissed all over and the tenant didn’t care is expensive. But as you said, with housing what it is now there are even more people restricted from pet ownership than ever.

I mean historically people didn’t necessarily think of it as mutilation, even if now most people understand it to be extreme. Many cats have bad scratching habits and people don’t know to train their cats not to do so. Some will definitely trash your furniture and people looked at de-clawing as a way to stop it vs giving up the cat for adoptuon. Are all cats even trainable to not scratch? I don’t know personally.

I’m kind of curious how banning declawing of cats influences rates of abandonment and euthanization. I had many cats when I was younger, some which were bad scratchers and got de-clawed and others which weren’t prone to it so didn’t get de-clawed. I’d like to get one now but know my wife (and I probably) won’t be able to tolerate our furniture and drapes getting tore up if I can’t train it not to, and I hate the idea of adopting one only to give it up later, so I’ll likely not get one at all. I wonder if and how many get put down simply because fewer adopt them when de-clawing is banned.

Multiple units are common for a large house. Not because they want a backup but because there are limits to how many square feet a single home unit can handle. Having a 2nd story or basement can influence the decision too. It’s often cheaper to put in two home units vs upgrading to a large industrial size like what a store might use.

Obviously if you have 2 then one is a backup when you have a problem, but most people aren’t going to have that.

The solution you’re looking for are called potholes.

I grew up there. It’s definitely hot, but I can say living in a high humidity city in the south can feel much worse.

With low humidity if you’re in the shade Phx is great most of the year. You’ll sit outside and eat in the 90s. Sure, above 110F is friggin’ hot but 95F and 90% humidity in GA or FL or south TX is worse if you’re outside, and shade doesn’t protect you from humidity. 115F has its own special problems like how hot car door handles and metal seat belt buckles get, but that’s better than the hot wet blanket effect you get in the south during the summer.

Unfortunately it wouldn’t. There are ways to “legally” hire an illegal today and lots of companies take advantage of it, especially in agriculture and other seasonal work. EI9 reporting has loop holes that politicians aren’t interested in closing.

They have no problem being inconsistent.

They’re convinced Democrats were drinking the blood of babies but have ignored Trump’s Epstein friendship, his comments about young girls and his own daughter, as well as a recording of him bragging about sexually assaulting women since the first election. They have no problem dismissing things that would otherwise confirm a Democrat would have been better.

There’s a lot you don’t know. Trees can’t talk.

The crazy thing is the truth about Mrs. Macron and how their relationship started is shameful and twisted enough. Why someone needs to make up false claims to shit-talk her is baffling.

I agree with you… I hope they win big!

Calling GPS part of imperialism is a stretch. It was put in the air at no cost to another country and can be used without cost by anybody, but nobody has to use it. Other countries can launch their own satellites if they want, but they don’t because that’s expensive and GPS is free. The US isn’t making money off of it or exploiting another country with it.

Yes, the US can jam it regionally when in conflict but of course why wouldn’t we? No reason to help the enemy.

Best to talk to a lawyer for specifics, but like non-compete agreements, NDAs often include things that can’t legally be enforced. The people wanting you to sign the NDA just hope you don’t know better and you’ll shut up.

If you know better, you can take their money and then disclose the facts anyway.

If you believe that then you feel the same way or are even more strongly against the Republicans.
