Yes. And I monitor my network link and automatically power-cycle the modem, if the worst happens. (Which is rare, but the network link has been the source of most of the few problems I've had.)
And use a wired network connection for anything important!
Of note is that the Government will be moving to pass legislation to amend it again this week, after inadvertently leaving in criminal penalties for those in breach of the 'right to disconnect'.
aha, thanks! Now that I know what to look for, I realize I could have found it by switching to the Bills & Legislation tab in the aph search results, which prunes out a few of the false-positives.
> Mediatek might not be willing to provide their WiFi SoC if you are not using their compute SoC
There are some China-only ZTE devices that do this, but they obviously have a different order volume and scale that makes it possible. (The main SoC is replaced with a ZXIC one, a ZTE subsidiary)
I would have pointed you towards the BPI-R4, but they haven't quite got the accessories around it out the door yet. (Ie. The 802.11be radio add-on card and the case are not available yet)
There's a very recent talk that they did at 37c3 that you can watch, if you're interested in the process of them gaining root on the various platforms [1][2]
Reminds me somewhat of certain keyboard MCUs that would also brick when fed certain lighting commands.
OpenRGB ended up having to disable the particular module from running automatically on that hardware. (Although the vendor software would also trigger said bug, on occassion.)
Unfortunately, the usual way for triggering the in-system programming mode required sending a usb hid report, but affected devices wouldn't even enumerate anymore. (Assuming it was even firmware corruption and not some other undefined behaviour causing hardware damage)
Australia has a similar program running called the Do Not Call Register. Does not really stop anything apart from the legally running telemarketers.
Obviously does nothing to stop the phishing calls from overseas (typically compromised) voip services that overstamp local numbers.
Additionally the register has carveouts for calls such as charities, political groups, and research calls (polling).
> Also, lately, I have been getting many calls that are supposedly coming from the UK.
Anecdotally, I have been getting the ocassional spam texts from the UK, but all from numbers registered with O2. It's pretty useless to associate any origin and come to conclusions without a large amount of data. (That and the use of CLI overstamping means that it could be from anywhere)
While Windows technically supports LE Audio and the profiles required, the encoding and such are left up to the vendor driver to implement.[0]
I'm not even sure if Intel's newer products will actually properly do BAP etc. on Windows because of driver support, despite them listing very windows looking software version numbers in the certification on the Bluetooth SIG site. (AX210 and newer should be capable and advertise proper isochronous channel support in their drivers. AX200 and AX201 are not capable, and but kinda sorta advertise isochronous channel support anyway because of a bug I believe. BE200 obviously capable but they have a separate driver on Windows and I have no idea how stable it is in Linux.)
While one could argue that you should figure out the source of your device freezing in the first place;
Nothing is better than having to ask someone to power cycle your Raspberry Pi while you're away.
