I think your installation instructions are incomplete. I followed the instructions and installed via file -> install in the project view. Restarted. But GhidraMCP is not visible in Tools after opening a binary.
I've been thinking about this same phenomenon. I reside in Norway, where, interestingly, five different car washes opened in 2023 within a 2 km radius of my local neighborhood. Remarkably, four of these are clustered within a 300m stretch inside a commercial park. Our local area has a population of roughly 5,000 to 7,000 people.
Each car wash is operated by a different entity, offering unique apps and subscription plans.
It's hard to imagine this being profitable given the circumstances. But what do I know, I wash my own car.
It can use both. ZHA is included in base HA. Z2M is an optional addon. Z2M has better support for obscure devices in my experience. I Also strongly prefer the management interface in z2m.
WAGO pfc controllers series can do everything you mention. They are "just" Linux boxes with a fully featured integrated I/O bus (with any input/output type you can imagine). They can be programmed in pretty much any language and you can deploy with docker.
That said. Really large factories use DCS. (Distributed Control System) they are horribly expensive but integrates everything in one system. Controller programming, Human machine interfaces, MES and even ERP. Best known to me is ABB 800xA and Siemens PCS7.
It may not be ideal to praise commercial software in a GNU software thread, but I really enjoy using 010 Editor. It's one of the few programs I pay for. Its C-like template syntax (looks similar to GNU Poke syntax) makes reverse engineering binary formats easy and fun!
I was in university 2004 to 2009. We had a total of 3 UML classes. A whole semester of wasted time. The professor that pushed this got "promoted" to a non teaching role after us. Everyone with some programming experience saw UML as a complete waste of time. The people pushing it at the time had no actual use-case just pie in the sky dreams of autogenerated software. It was doomed to fail.
We have one of those exact machines at the office. It's okey. The coffee is alright. The number codes are a nice feature. It's annoying that the cup sensor doesn't recognise transparent glasses so you have to hold your finger over the sensor if you want a glass of water. I can't figure out why they wouldn't use a ultrasonic sensor. Oh well. First World problems.
You can join Phillips hue units to your own zigbee network without Internet or even the Phillips hue app.
Zigbee2mqtt and a cheap zigbee dongle is all you need really. You could add home assistant for a better interface but there is no need to involve Phillips or the Internet. One of the huge advantages of zigbee imo.
The 3G thing is extremely common. Even with HUGE suppliers. Including Siemens Energy. Their steam turbine systems come with a 3g connection as standard. I even think they won't do 24h/7d support without it.
Probably. After reading the paper I'm pretty sure they messed up their testing.
The problem is that they blow it up HUGE both in the paper and the article without cursory checking. That is as bad as lie. Maybe even worse.
From The paper 7.1.2:
"Censored Planet data reveals extremely aggressive DNS blocking of many domains in Norway, with many blocks being consistent in all of our vantage points. During the four month period of increased censorship, 25 ASes observed blocking of more than 10 domains in at least six categories. We observed the most rigorous activity in AS 2116 (CATCHCOM) where more than 50 domains were blocked."
Blocking more than 10 domains in 25 ASes I have no reason to doubt. As I said there is extensive DNS blocking. So they write in a way that makes it sound like all the ASes are blocking hrw.org and match. But it's probably only on CATCHCOM. This is a ISP for mostly huge corporate environments where blocking may be by customer demand. So they take one single source of "anomaly" and blow it up. Pretty much a lie.
I'm pretty sure it never happened. This would have been big news here. The technology press went ape when thepriatebay.org was added to a DNS blocklist. I have searched around and can not find any references to hrw or match being blocked by accident or not.
Either the article writer is confusing Norway with another country or this is just "Journalistic flair" i.e. a lie.
When I read that, I immediately dismissed the whole article.
Both HRW and match.com are available on the 4/5 ISPs I have access to ATM. Home (Telenor), mobile (Telia), server host (domeneshop), my office (Telia, wired) and a customer network (Not sure about the downstream ISP). On the last one match.com is blocked by a firewall not the ISP.
They should really check thier sources. My guess is that they tested on a network that has a filtering firewall.
Now that that is said. Norway is not perfect. The biggest ISPs use a easy to bypass DNS blocklist by the judiciary. The list contains CP-sites, gambling, piracy, terrorism. This is bad enough. Why lie about match.com and hrw.org? Jeez.
I'm pretty sure it's modded version of the official youtube app so no guarantees (Just use a dummy account?).
I'm actually very interested in how the vanced developer has made this. This app is pretty much identical to the youtube app with premium features enabled and ad/sponsor bocking/skipping.
