I haven’t watch the video (because YouTube) but knowing how easy it is to unlock modern cars with the right tools, namely https://www.404media.co/inside-the-underground-trade-of-flipper-zero-tech-to-break-into-cars/ and knowing ICE does both have a budget and a “license” not to care for the lawful process I can definitely imagine them doing it.
TL;DR: definitely feasible, no idea if actually done.
What’s the consequence of that on privacy?
If there was no user interaction needed I’d agree but here, AFAICT, the user still needs to ask. If it’s truly entirely pointless then once the novelty fades away it won’t be used which deprived of precious data points, namely user feedback. For non interactive use I imagine streaming provides already a lot.
I use
I also use split tunneling, inclusive (e.g. everything but Firefox) or exclusive (e.g. only qbittorrent) whenever I don’t want to tunnel all my traffic.
Reposting from my comment https://lemmy.world/post/37758804/20109240 which I recommend to check, as someone did a test with Dark Souls 1 and IMHO was unsurprisingly disappointing, namely it does recognize the game (honestly, not bad) and get the right boss (which name is literally on screen) and make kind of sometimes useful suggestions. But like… what’s the point? Who would play a game and… NOT know its name? Or not be able to search based on a boss name or a weapon name with existing dedicated good online guides?
Anyway… if you still want to try yourself WITHOUT relying on Microsoft consider :
"If someone somehow wants to test this locally I suggest
marvel at how pointless and costly the whole setup is and how a basic query on e.g. DuckDuckGo with “game name” + prompt would yield way WAY better results from actual human, uninstall the whole, keep on playing with your actual brain.
At least now you can say you tried before you complain, rightfully, that it sucks.

PS: I didn’t actually try this, I’m too lazy for that right how but feel free to report back if you do!
Edit : 2 potential optimization (despite not being sure it ever makes sense in the first place!)
Spectacle shortcut) monitored via inotify then notify-send the suggestion, thus stay in game during the whole process" and again feel free to share back results.
I recommend a different consideration than the usual design, battery life, OSHW, etc : connectivity.
So typically you get BT but that’s not enough, you need a bit more since it’s not a well recognized device, unlike e.g. headphones. Typically you would need a companion app, for GrapheneOS, Android more broadly, iOS or a Linux phone. This is where GadgetBridge comes in. The goal of the project is to… bridge gadgets that are not standalone. Instead of having a myriad of (usually proprietary) apps that basically all do the same thing (pair, configure, handle notifications both ways) have 1 that does it for all such device.
From that standpoint, namely GadgetBridge support, at the moment the recommendation is Pebble (which is how the project started) or PineTime.
PS: I personally have a Pebble (with hardware issue, so not sure were), a PineTime (also hardware issue, touch on screen AFAIR) and finally a Watchy and… honestly I don’t wear any anymore. I don’t get enough benefit from it as typically I have a phone nearby and when I don’t it means I do NOT want notifications.
Thanks for highlighting that.
The same way IMDB has https://imdbapi.dev/ or https://www.omdbapi.com/ (which I did use for a bit) is there an equivalent, namely MyAnimeList DB or API?
Others are concerned about their durability…
Unless I see reports about keys premature end of life I’d put that under FUD.
Anyway as you did ask few times about this I believe it’s important, and you might be aware of this so apologies if sound condescending, to see keys as something NOT precious. Of course keys are important and they are not cheap… but also you might, in fact :
… so what’s IMHO crucial is to have a backup. If you lose your 1 key and you are locked out of your stuff, this is terrible. If you lose your key but you have a backup in a well known to you and secure location, then you login, revoke the other one, move one. Maybe you lost 50 bucks but that’s much better than either being compromise or hours and hours lost in trying and failing to find back the 1 key.
TL;DR: keys are important but not precious. If they are precious you are doing something wrong.
Edit: also not for now but keys will inexorably deprecate. You might want post-quantum schemes and even though it is arguably not pressing at the moment maybe the hardware you currently have will not support this. So again, keys are important but should be disposable and replaceable.
if you run into a platform-specific issue
Well that’s of course possible but in theory (which is so different from practice, I get that) if it relies on protocols or specifications rather than vendor specific implementations, e.g. OTP, TOPT, HOTP, U2F, OpenPGP, WebAuthN, etc then it should be fine.
Secure against whom?
If it’s from a random thief, both are about equality secure, they rely on proven cryptographic methods.
If it’s from somebody powerful enough to make an ISP bend the knee, then they are equally insecure because those cryptographic methods assume you trust the underlying infrastructure. If you do not though, then yes using a VPN will help as you are adding your own level of encryption on top.
CopyParty https://github.com/9001/copyparty + PartyUp https://f-droid.org/packages/me.ocv.partyup/ (upload only, not sync)
Could try https://f-droid.org/packages/com.phpbg.easysync/ for sync proper.
More WebDAV Android client options https://github.com/fstanis/awesome-webdav#android but anyway my suggestion is to rely on a protocol, not an app.
So far nobody provided a good answer (if I missed it, I apologized, please do share) so I’m going to assume it’s the typical “Nobody ever get fired for buying from IBM” mindset, namely rely on what is the most popular, confirm it works well while ignoring viable alternatives IMHO, e.g NitroKey.
I use Yubikey Bio and NitroKeys.
Edit : to expand a bit, for the YubiKey it’s for the convenience of just pushing my thumb on. I use it on the Web and to su locally. For NitroKeys I’ve discovered them via https://nlnet.nl/project/Nitrokey-3/ and thus appreciate the OSHW side, e.g https://certification.oshwa.org/de000007.html or https://certification.oshwa.org/de000008.html
FWIW https://gitlab.com/pdftk-java/pdftk works well. Sure it hasn’t been updates for a couple of years but maybe it’s not really needed.
Sorry I don’t know enough but here is an interesting articles about other kind of gnomes :P https://www.businessinsider.com/anti-tech-rally-apple-iphone-elon-musk-tesla-luddite-movement-2025-9
With pleasure. I discovered kdialog just recently too as until now I used notify-send but as you are using KDE this gives you a lot more options.
If you are into this kind of things check also dbus or KWin, there are a LOT of fun and powerful ways to interact with KDE.
FWIW if it users WebDAV might want to check copyparty then as it also provides that, and a WebUI, and… a lot more.
It also has kdeconnect-cli with e.g. kdeconnect-cli --share myfile.txt so don’t think you are stuck with a GUI to use KDEConnect.
I imagine dbus-monitor should work with cron but probably if starting once DBUS is actually running (so not sure @reboot would be sufficient)
Here is how I did it https://git.benetou.fr/utopiah/online-hygiene/src/branch/master/index.js namely a local NodeJS Web server tracking my habits.
You can see the default configuration at https://git.benetou.fr/utopiah/online-hygiene/src/branch/master/index.js#L52-L65

Anyway what is fascinating IMHO in term of minimalism is that… I’m NOT actually using it anymore. Why? Well because the habits is now, roughly, ingrained. I don’t use it because it became mostly pointless.
That’s I’d argue what one should think of in terms of minimalism. Namely one provides a scaffolding that, yes, as others pointed out, might initially look like MORE work or tools than the typical situation. Yet, this only showcases how terrible the “normal” situation is. Once new habits are formed then remove the scaffolding and enjoy minimalism in a way most people expect, namely visibly less.
The problem though is that until that final step, it looks like more, BUT during that final step, it looks obvious to others, whereas they entirely miss the process that lead to it.
