Ich habe das Metallgitter also mit passendem Stoff überzogen und bin mit dem Ergebnis recht zufrieden.

Was meint das liebe Fediverse? Was ist besser an einer weißen Wand?

Mein altes Logitech Z5500 digital hat heute neue Besitzy gefunden. Die scharz-silbernen Plastiklautsprecher an der Wand haben angefangen mich zu stören, auch wenn es für den Preis vermutlich nie wieder so viel Surround gegeben hat.

Jetzt gibt es erstmal ein Stereopaar Wandlautsprecher ohne Subwoofer, das - wenn auch größere - unauffällig weiß an der Wand hängen soll.

Mir persönlich gefallen die durch die Metallgitterabdeckung durchscheinenden schwarzen Membranen nicht (rechts im Bild).

With cars, for example, Europe generally requires safety testing by independent labs, while America doesn’t; but most US vendors have their US models tested independently too, as Europe created the ‘industry norm’ by which US courts assess tort cases when things go wrong. In this sense, Europe has become a ‘regulatory superpower’ (Ross Anderson, "#SecurityEngineering — Third Edition", PDF-Preview 2020-05-16)

technical debt. This concept, due to Ward Cunningham, encapsulates the observation that development shortcuts are like debt. Whenever we skimp on documentation, fix a problem with a quick-and-dirty kludge, don’t test a fix thoroughly, fail to build in security controls, or fail to work through the consequences of errors, we’re storing up problems that may have to be repaid with interest in the future (Ross Anderson, "#SecurityEngineering — Third Edition", PDF-Preview 2020-05-16)

the centralisation of human knowledge in the servers of a small number of firms – from Amazon’s e-book system to the servers of the major news organisations – takes us, in some sense, back to the 15th century. It’s also easier for the authorities to observe the transmission of disapproved material, as they can monitor electronic communications more easily than physical packages (Ross Anderson, "#SecurityEngineering — Third Edition", PDF-Preview 2020-05-16)

The rhetoric of terror puffed up the security agencies at the expense of public health, predisposing governments in America, Europe, India and Africa to disregard the lesson of SARS in 2003 – (Ross Anderson, "#SecurityEngineering — Third Edition", PDF-Preview 2020-05-16)

… This means that most of your subscription – or at least of the money the tech firms don’t take one way or another – goes to the megastars like Ariana, and Ed Sheeran and Lady Gaga (Ross Anderson, "#SecurityEngineering — Third Edition", PDF-Preview 2020-05-16)

So if my granddaughter pays £10 a month and listens to Ariana Grande four hours a day while I pay the same and listen to Kathryn Tickell two hours a week, then rather than giving them £10 each (less Apple’s 30% commission), Ariana will get fourteen times what Kathryn gets [1553]. …

That was a sharp reminder that it’s hard to block the attacks that haven’t been invented yet, and that attacks can improve very quickly once experts start to hone them (Ross Anderson, "#SecurityEngineering — Third Edition", PDF-Preview 2020-05-16)

Software encryption of disk contents can be defeated unless there are mechanisms to zeroise the keys on power-down (Ross Anderson, "#SecurityEngineering — Third Edition", PDF-Preview 2020-05-16)

Phone phreaks were counterculture heroes, while phone companies were hand-in-hand with the forces of darkness (Ross Anderson, "#SecurityEngineering — Third Edition", PDF-Preview 2020-05-16)

Indeed, the main users of evaluated products are precisely those system operators whose focus is on due diligence rather than risk reduction (Ross Anderson, "#SecurityEngineering — Third Edition", PDF-Preview 2020-05-16)

if a capable motivated opponent can run their code on the same machine as you, you’re basically toast (Ross Anderson, "#SecurityEngineering — Third Edition", PDF-Preview 2020-05-16)

Even keeping keys in special hardware such as a TPM isn’t enough if all it’s doing is limiting the number of times you can guess the hard disk encryption password, but then copying the master key to main memory once you get the password right so that the CPU can do the rest of the work (Ross Anderson, "#SecurityEngineering — Third Edition", PDF-Preview 2020-05-16)

"Max Hills has been working on #cookie #consent. In last year’s #WEIS, Daniel Woods and Rainer Boehme investigated the commodification of consent: some companies trade consents to manipulate their stats. Max has found that many consents are provided by third parties, one of whom processes more than 25 billion consents a year. On average, these take just over 3.2 second, so this company #wasted 2,500 years of people’s lives."

Für den nächsten Versuch mit neuem Silikon habe ich die Form vorher am Rand mit Knetgummi abgedichtet.

Das Silikon ist diesmal wie erwartet ausgehärtet und die neuen Ohren ließen sich tatsächlich aus der Form entfernen.

Bis auf ganz kleine Löcher im Rand sind sie erstaunlich gut geworden für einen ersten Versuch und ließen sich gut einbauen.

Zwei Wochen später waren sie wieder defekt. Das Silikon hat eine deutlich geringere Härte (Shore A-Härte ca. 22) als das der Originalohren.
