Too bad they own Hoover as well

I don’t know if there is a non profit to help devs with legal but there should be.

Maybe the Free software conservancy?

Never considered buying Haier anyway, but i am looking specifically for appliances that have HAOS support. So them pulling this shit will put them on my black list for ever. I get why Mazda did it, but the car doesn’t need the app to be useful, i can just ignore that part. But this is an home appliance that looses a big part of it’s usefulness…

eh, another one for the blacklist… it’s getting difficult.

Special shout-out to LiftMaster/Chamberlain who did the same rug-pull on their customers last year.

Never trust free cloud services attached to a paid product.

I just used their Feedback form to tell them what a shitty practice that is and that I will never use their products again.

henfredemars, to privacy in Have I Been Pwned adds 71 million emails from Naz.API stolen account list

A stern reminder that we should all use a password management tool and use unique, unrelated passwords with every service.

Samsy, (edited ) to selfhosted in what if your cloud=provider gets hacked ?

Easy, I always mirror my cloud. My setting is: cloud is extern and in my network there is always the same copy of everything on a simple smb-nas.

  1. My house burns to the ground (or easier, the NAS is broken) = online backup
  2. The online provider got hacked = No problem, I have an backup at home.
  3. The hackers burned my house down at the same time they killed my cloud = Well fuck.

PS. Since the most syncs are going directly to the cloud its just an rclone cronjob every night to backup everything on the NAS.

Still sucks you will need a phone number to use it though. Hopefully they adopt meshnet type technology similar to berty.tech so people can communicate even when the internet is shut off across all platforms with end to end encryption

butter,

Another day, another chat service.

Download and installed but it still insists on a phone number. I don’t see a way to bypass.

BobGnarley,

I believe they still require a phone number for the TESTING phase but it can be the same oje you already use for your regular Signal (if im understanding it correctly)

isa, to privacy in Signal tests usernames that keep your phone number private

Finally

Selmafudd, to piracy in Pirate IPTV network in Austria dismantled and $1.74 million seized

God I’m dyslexic af, I read it as Australia and I’m like why would anybody setup a pirated streaming service here and why wasn’t I using it… wasn’t until I read “arrests were made in Vienna, Lower Austria, Salzburg, Vorarlberg, and Tyrol” that I worked it out

theshatterstone54,

I’m not even dyslexic and my mind somehow read that as “Australia”

Sharpiemarker,
