Is there any deeper study on long term effects regarding retinal damage?
I would imagine, even with safe dosages, there would be some form of cumulative effect in terms of retinal phototoxicity.
More so if we consider the scenario that this becomes a standard COTS feature in cars and we are walking around a city centre with a fleet of hundreds of thousands of these laser sources.
Some lidar units simply use the wavelength that the human eye is opaque to.
The grandparent comment is about camera lenses with little to no near infrared cutoff filter. Some older iPhones were like that and that was the original breaking story.
Absolutely, and is a major cause of cataracts. Somewhat near 100% of people with lenses in their eyes will get cataracts eventually if they are ever exposed to unfiltered sunlight.
I remember those old cellphones with weak IR filters. It was a scandal because light clothing turns out to be more transparent to IR than to visible light so they were acting as a sort of clothing "X-Ray" in bright light. Creepers on the Internet tried to start a whole new genre of porn but were shut down in a hurry by cellphone manufacturers adding robust IR filters on the next generation of smartphones.
Shame that perverts had to ruin that for us, it was kinda neat to point a TV remote as the camera and see the bulb light up.
We have progressively absorbed single function items into a mobile computer.
Watch, notepad, calendar, phone, flashlight, camera, dictionary, encyclopedia, etc.
The issue with declaring single function items as obsolete is that it removes redundancy and really sets us all up for an increasingly more critical single point of failure in our pocket.
> I can almost guarantee this is from some endpoint management software your company installed.
I had the same issue with a loan machine from a client, super responsive onsite, but once I connected through a VPN from an external network, all the basic functionality in the file manager was brought to a halt. Even something as simple as right click on a folder to show a context menu would take several seconds.
The files were all local (also with Onedrive sync disabled) so I am almost positive it was whatever they were using for endpoint protection (Can't recall 100% but probably something from CrowdStrike).
Not recent but the slow trend towards a complete loss of clickability in both desktop and mobile UX.
I read text and sometimes I can interact and click/tap it for some action but other times it is just text. Not having a visual distintion between those two seems hostile. But maybe I'm just showing my age.
KIT had a project on this (Project KAMINA) which looks like it is also cited in the linked paper.
They had a spin off SMELLDECT GmbH which sells a kit but not exactly a order from DigiKey thing. I imagine you will need to send an RFQ and go through the motions with their sales team.
Fair, but if you look at most tools for Static Code Analysis they will have equal or worse performance with regards to false positives and are still seen as added value.
If this is inexpensive (in terms of cost/time) it will likely make business sense even with false positives.
But that isn’t the claim. The claim is an agentic pen tester “trounced” human testers. Static analysis tools are already trivial and cheap to automate, why would you need an agent in the loop?
I agree with your point that the claim is exagerated. My counterpoint is even if they are subpar, they will still make business sense if they are inexpensive, much in the same way that Static code analysis tools aren't great but because they are inexpensive they still make sense during development.
Even if they don't brick them explicitly they will no longer provide security updates for them.
I'm on the same boat, smart TV has never been online, all content is just cast from media server/phone/tablet straight to chromecast. It works, no fuss, glitch free, and of course they will kill it.
Even if they were to provide security updates, a few platforms no longer work with them. At the very least, now Disney+ refuses to stream to my original chromecast dongle.
Slightly off topic but that lab book made me a bit envious.
I doubt my mental bandwith could cope without org mode and digital formats in general. But that penmanship and the general neatness really shows a focus and an intentionality that makes me feel that something has fallen off the wayside in this digital transition.
