IA is generating news articles and complete YT video’s. Also, forums and news articles are made using AI.
Reviews are being generated by vote farms.
Unchecked and being re-ingested by other IA scrapers. It’s being fed again into other new AI generators.
Content generators are not interested in if the generated content is true. Just generate traffic and income.
I hate watching a long YT video, voice being generated, story content from ChatGPT and not fact checked. No new information, just generic information stretched into more time you have to watch.
If there is a disaster, people generate false footage to generate traffic.
One of the first things was reflashing the device with Momentum firmware. I’ve ordered a Wi-Fi Dev Board, so I can use Marauder.
Here are some qFlipper screenshots.
Will add pictures and info about the Wifi dev board.
Some information:
The Flipper Zero is a versatile multi-tool for geeks, hackers, and hardware enthusiasts. It is designed as a portable, open-source device with numerous capabilities for interacting with digital systems and hardware. Here’s an overview of what the Flipper Zero can do:
1. RFID and NFC Communication
Read and Emulate: Supports RFID cards (low-frequency 125 kHz) and NFC cards (high-frequency 13.56 MHz). It can read, emulate, and clone certain types of RFID/NFC tags, such as access cards and contactless payment cards (within legal limits).
Protocols Supported: Includes MIFARE, HID Prox, and others used in access control systems.
2. Sub-GHz Radio Transmission
Works with a wide range of sub-GHz frequencies (300-900 MHz) used in garage door openers, key fobs, IoT devices, and wireless sensors.
Transmit and Analyze: It can capture, analyze, and even replay radio signals for research and testing purposes.
3. Infrared (IR) Control
Universal Remote: The Flipper Zero has an IR transmitter/receiver that allows it to control TVs, air conditioners, and other IR-enabled devices.
It can learn IR commands and replay them for universal control.
4. GPIO Pins for Custom Projects
Hardware Hacking: Provides GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins for connecting to external hardware.
You can use the GPIO pins to interact with sensors, control relays, or debug devices like routers or microcontrollers.
5. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (with Modules)
Bluetooth LE: Built-in Bluetooth Low Energy support allows communication with BLE-enabled devices.
Wi-Fi: Optional Wi-Fi dev board attachment (like the ESP8266 or ESP32) expands its capabilities for network penetration testing or IoT device research.
6. BadUSB and HID Attacks
Emulate USB Devices: Can act as a USB keyboard or mouse for automating tasks or security testing.
Useful for penetration testing with scripts (similar to tools like Rubber Ducky).
7. Universal Debugging
The Flipper can debug and interact with devices via UART, SPI, and I2C protocols, making it a powerful tool for developers and hackers.
8. Tamagotchi Mode
Includes a fun “pet” feature where you care for and interact with a digital creature that grows and evolves based on how you use the device.
9. Extensible and Open Source
The Flipper Zero’s firmware is open-source, allowing developers to modify and expand its capabilities.
It supports custom plugins, applications, and firmware modifications.
10. Signal Analysis and Replay
Capture, analyze, and replay signals (e.g., remote controls) for testing and research.
Legal Disclaimer: Using these features responsibly and within the bounds of the law is crucial.
Common Uses
Security auditing and penetration testing.
Reverse engineering and debugging hardware.
Researching IoT devices and wireless communications.
Fun DIY projects and learning electronics.
The Flipper Zero is a powerful tool, but its legality depends on how it is used. Be sure to respect laws and ethical guidelines when exploring its capabilities.
I reversed engineered the workings, and created a python upload script to push images.
Original workings are a mess. Per 4 bit of color, high-low switched in a byte. Black and red separated. Using a till p encoding over curl commands.
My implementation uses a python script called as:

A while ago, I bought a small Dehumidifier for my wine cellar. I liked it a lot, so I bought another for our bedroom.
I saw some posts about people asking which Dehumidifier is supported by Home Assistant. This one is. The “Eeese Otto Dehumidifier”
This works with the LocalTuya integration.
There are many examples how to integrate LocalTuya in HA which can be found easily using a search on the net. So, I’m not going to explain that.
I could not find a configuration example, that’s why I’ll post that part here.
Pre config:
Install App on phone to connect Tuya device to cloud (one time only) You need this to extract the localkey
Add a developer account to https://eu.platform.tuya.com/ (Enable devices and change from Read to Control) (Get localkey from API Explorer, here is also a hint to be found about the entities) See below pictures
Install LocalTuya to HA
End result after config
Gallery of config steps
Developer website information, where to find your credentials. (And a list of entities)
This is a Non-Cloud solution like Alexa and Google devices. I only could play with it for a few minutes because I was working on Arduino code with an ILI9341 Display and a BME280 (Temperature/Humidity/Air pressure).
Today I got some new goodies in, one of these is a LilyGO LoRa display which works on 433 Mhz.
I flashed OpenMQTTGateway on this device.
In the past, I posted about the RFCOM Gateway using Domoticz. This runs on a Raspberry Pi. While looking for alternatives, I found a rtl-sdr solution.
I Still got 19 posts in draft, I know, but I saw a post on Reddit about tunes being played.
(Only pipe tunes) Only the lists I could find, so incomplete. (No tunes in this list from 2022-now) Some I’ve played for 30+ years, others only a while.
I’m going to rate these soon
