The poor sap was probably trying to get the wifi working :/.

You configure vlans per physical port, so in a properly implemented system your attack won't be possible. When the packet comes to the switch the vlan tag is added to it according to the configuration for the port it was received from.

Or are you talking about mac-vlans?

Depends on you hw. That seems rather poor implementation.. I believe my TP switch might handle that, because it rejects traffic to its management interface from mac X from vlan 20 because it sees the same mac in vlan 10.. (only vlan 20 is allowed for management)

Well, if these devices required any sort of authentication (e.g. pairing) to free access to their ram and flash, we wouldn't be having this particular story..

It's nice that this exists, but even for this I'd prefer to use an open source tool.

And it of course helps with migration only if the old HS is still online..

I think most practically this migration function would be built inside some Matrix client (one that would support more than one server to start with), but I suppose a standalone tool would be a decent solution as well.

Wish the homeserver portability would be worked on more. The ability to change homeserver would really allow people to more easily move on from matrix.org.

Myself included ;).

Optimally it would even allow the switch "after the fact", so after your original homeserver is down, assuming your client has a local copy of the server-side secret storage. It would need to be based on some cryptographic identity then, I suppose.

Personally I believe free trials are a great idea, and businesses should be able to offer them eithout the risk of losing actual business to it l, while at the same time I believe people should be able to make an informed decision before entering a payment (even more so to a recurring one).

This could be arranged by a simple request from the vendor that confirms you wish to pay or not when the trial ends.

To me this sounds like a perfectly reasonable requirement that doesn't try to trick either side of the transaction.

And how about web-based services? Fingerprinting goes only so far. Good for statistics, not good for preventing people from a free trial.

Without that it would be quite easy to abuse the trials, no?

But certainly moving to paid subscription should require an active action from the customer.

Sama. Turisteilin helsingissä ja hotlan löydyttyä piti parkkeerata. No, eipä löytynyt nopeasti, eikä kelvannut pyöräparkki jossa joku kilpailijankin skootteri oli.

Does he already not have the opportunity, robot or not?

Yeah, with mpv you can even hold the jump 10/60 sec forward/backward button pressed and the frames just fly in the screen. Vlc seeking is really slow in comparison.
