Hardware
- The Pi Hut: TRMNL (OG)
- Nerds.xyz: Eve’s new Matter thermostat has me rethinking my Nest loyalty: “The pitch is simple and, frankly, refreshing: local control, no accounts, no subscriptions, and no data being siphoned off to some remote server.”
- Absolutely interested in a thermostat for all those reasons they stated in the article.
- Eve Home: Eve Thermostat
Linux
- Nerds.xyz: Nitrux 5.1.0 drops as a Linux distro designed for modern hardware: This might be a distro i check out the next time I’m looking to change.
- OMG Ubuntu: Bazaar Flatpak Manager Gets New Icon, Permission Warnings + More: I thought this was a different Bazarr when i saw the title, but it still looked like something useful if i was using Flatpaks anywhere.
Privacy
- Lifehacker: This Free Script Disables Every AI Feature in Windows 11: Because we don’t all need AI shoved down our throats from every site, app, OS, etc.
- gitHub: zoicware / RemoveWindowsAI: “Force Remove Copilot, Recall and More in Windows 11”
Security
- The Hacker News: Microsoft Warns Misconfigured Email Routing Can Enable Internal Domain Phishing: This has been ongoing for ages… but hopefully now there will be an official, “safe” fix for this kind of phishing.
