That's why I only bought smart home stuff that's not dependent on manufacturer infrastructure but can all be controlled locally.

Long list of products which will stop working on Jan 31, 2026

Wow... Wonder how many people will be sitting in the dark and stuff not working suddenly and not realize it's because their "smart home" product has stopped working. Announced awhile back, but... still.

WEMO: "After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to end technical support for older Wemo products, effective January 31, 2026. After this date, several Wemo products will no longer be controllable through the Wemo app. Any features that rely on cloud connectivity, including remote access and voice assistant integrations, will no longer work. "

Man kann ein Apple TV allein durch wildes Drücken von Tasten auf der Remote in eine niemals endende Bootschleife versetzen aus der auch Apple es nicht mehr heraus holen kann. Und nein, die Netzwerkbuchse ermöglicht kein Aufspielen von Software.
Das riecht für mich schwer nach Konstruktionsfehler 😡#fürSiegetestet #bricked #AppleTV

Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models

So my #Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen9 randomly turned off today and now it just does this. LED next to the charging port turns off then briefly blinks orange, goes back to white and then it blinks the esc, f1, and f4 buttons.

Occasionally it turns on and mentions a bios recovery or i even get to the boot menu but tends to quickly power off again.

Anyone knows if that is salvageable or what the issue might be?

38C3: Lawsuits are Temporary [Glory is Forever].

The last year, 37C3 covered how a group of hackers discovered code that allegedly bricked public trains in Poland when they went into service at a competitor’s workshop. This year, the same group is back with tales of success, lawsuits and appearances in the Polish Parliament.

https://media.ccc.de/v/38c3-we-ve-not-been-trained-for-this-life-after-the-newag-drm-disclosure

You’re not going to believe this, but it’s hilarious.

The short version of the story is that [Mr. Tick], [q3k] and [Redford] became minor stars in Poland, have caused criminal investigations to begin against the train company, and even made the front page of the New York Times. Newag, the train manufacturer in question has opened several lawsuits against them.

The lawsuit alleges the team is infringing on a Newag copyright — by publishing the code that locked the trains, no less! If that’s not enough, Newag goes on to claim that the white hat hackers are defaming the company.

What I found fantastically refreshing was how the three take all of this in stride, as the ridiculous but incredibly inconvenient consequences of daring to tell the truth. Along the way they’ve used their platform to speak out for open-sourcing publicly funded code, and the right to repair — not just for consumers but also for large rail companies. They are truly fighting the good fight here, and it’s inspirational to see that they’re doing so with humor and dignity.

If you missed their initial, more technical, talk last year, go check it out on media.ccc.de. And if you ever find yourself in their shoes, don’t be afraid to do the right thing. Just get a good lawyer.
