The malware argument is a bit weak
It’s much more than just a bit weak, unless you are somehow continuously monitoring it, so yeah, in most end-user scenarios, it would hardly make a difference to keep it on, even if there were no updates.

Not illegal, but the ISPs are seemingly under no obligation to give you those details. In Germany, there’s the “freedom of routers” embedded in the telco law. So they HAVE to give you everything you need to get your custom router online via their wire/fibre.
OIC, so, same as here. Germany seems to be having pretty well made laws in these cases.
Bridge mode is just using the ISPs router and bridge that into your router. It’s not the same - you still need the ISP’s access device instead of just yours.
Except that it is a layer 2 bridge and I couldn’t connect to the network directly, either way, because their line is copper [1] and consumer routers/modems are usually RJ45/RJ11.
Mine is pretty expensive too (at least for me, it is). I just make sure not to fly without a rebuy.
Sorry. I’m addicted to knowledge. I need to know.
you’re not supposed to get this kind of information from your ISP
Wait, do you mean, it’s illegal to ask for it?
In my case, it just depends upon the ISP’s policy.
In fact, with the current ISP, even though they provide their on modem (copper line), it has a pure bridge mode available, which I can connect to my other router and have fun looking at those packets with full transparency and the tech even went ahead and explained to me what I messed up, before resetting the modem for me, when I did use the bridge mode.
Read the title and went: What? They want you to keep your network hardware ON, when unattended, to increase the undetected malware entry opportunities?
Turns out it as their own devices they wanted to push updates to.
I would really prefer to use my own device though and even better, configure it myself after learning how the ISP’s network works. But convenience is what it is.
I’ll probably get one, once enough of its vulnerabilities are discovered and post-mitigation benchmarks are released.
And once I have enough money.
plugin/extension
that seems like the way to go for this
Dunno about now, but I had to pipette stuff in BTech. That’s less than 10 years ago.
But old films still featured recognizable human bodies and human faces—bodies that could theoretically be achieved by a single person without the aid of a team of personal trainers, dieticians, private chefs, and chemists.
Well, but when those bodies we not the absolute epitome of military fitness, would you believe them doing the feats that they do in the movies.
Sure it’s not 100% believable even now, but it kinda feels more “fine” if someone with stone-like protruding abs and pecs, takes a pillar to the torso and gets pushed back 50ft instead of getting squished.
Add a 've
in the end of the “you” and you’ll get what you want.
No. I just used the wrong name for Thor’s-papa
So they’ll use alternatives once the crabs go extinct.
Well… 😶
Oh shit! I forgot who is who
No you don’t… Don’t apply enchanter DRM!!
So, he just had more power than the enchantment.
Guess Zeus Odin should have gotten the master enchanter to do the job properly instead of hastily whispering some words into the hammer.
Fixed it because ppl were getting confused
Enchantments are a one-off thingy. They don’t require the enchanter to stay alive.
Otherwise, buying an enchanted sword from someone would mean, you would have to depend upon that person not getting killed by some random robber, when you are in the middle of battling the dungeon boss.
I find it hard to understand, what special thing the blood has, that is not synthetically manufacturable. With most foodstuff companies trying to synthetically manufacture as much of the food as they can, what makes this “Near Threatened” animal, so important to harvest?
I’m a keyboard guy.
Also, I intend on using the same nKRO keyboard for Elite Dangerous, X4, Nanotale and other games.
It’s not very frequently, that I notice a ghosting problem, but over time, it has become bad enough for me to want one.
I actually bought one, recently. ANT Esports, Mechanical, 24 KRO with anti-ghosting. Took about an hour to realise, it was false advertising.
Even normal key combinations, which worked on a cheap Dell 100, didn’t work on this.
So, waiting to get a good one.
I feel like we can do the same in other places too.
It just doesn’t make much sense for me to buy one of those, considering I don’t expect to be using a copper endpoint anywhere else I go.
I probably will get my own Fiber modem when viable (as in, I get a provider that doesn’t force their own modem on me).
The major Fibre player here, requires use of their modem, of which, even the WiFi password can only be changed using their Android app. Said app connects to the internet and most probably tells their systems the new password to change to (which would of course, be in plain text), which then remotely changes the WiFi password.
Most probably, other major ones do the same.
There are some smaller players (probably Tier2/3 ISPs), which would let us have our own modems after enough effort, so I’d probably go with one of those.
