Don't ban the EVs, ban the invasive monitoring that comes with them.

What's the latest gadget or tech that you regret buying? in c/[email protected]

Why couldn't they add barcode scanning to the device? Cheap and useful.

Or even a camera? I could use it daily in the IT world for pen testing and video/ picture proof.

It would not add much cost...

Even Wi-Fi is cheap as hell... Yet it doesn't have it.

A lot of the phone systems they use are phone app based with a USB head set.

But 48 laptops is still a bit light.

Almost got scammed today for Green Card, maybe ? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's a scam.

"There is no fee to enter the green card lottery. However, if you're selected and choose to apply for a Diversity Visa, you'll need to pay the mandatory green card application fees. Once selected, you'll receive information and details of the required fees on the Diversity Visa website at dvprogram.state.gov."

The fees are around 200-300$ never pay over the phone. Always verify it's a .GOV site.

"You must pay the fee online using the USCIS Electronic Immigration System. Go to www.uscis.gov/uscis-elis and select “Log In.” • Select “USCIS Immigrant Fee” from the chart. Enter your A-Number and DOS Case ID as shown at the top of this handout. Pay $220 online.“

Amazon Echo 2nd Gen stuck in Updating/ Setup mode (lemmy.world)
 

July 2023, my Amazon Echo 2nd generation stopped connecting to my Wi-Fi and was displaying a red circle/ ring or a Orange light. Because my network names were the same, I tried disabling the 5 GHz Network and only having a 2.4 GHz network available but it would still not work.

After trying to connect it for hours and letting it sit on updating purple circle, I finally decided to take a look at the router it turns out the router updated and started supporting WPA2 and WPA3; which after many hours of research found that the Amazon Echo and other devices do NOT support.

  1. Disable WPA3 on your router
  2. Reboot the Wi-Fi router
  3. Enter setup mode on ECHO/ Alexa
  4. Reconnecting the ECHO/ Alexa using the Alexa APP
  5. Profit $$$

You might have to "factory reset" your ECHO/ Alexa device to get into the setup mode.

You're probably right, they are likely comments riding the top comments to "fight the system" or maybe Reddit is getting botted.
