KotCzarny | privacy? whats that? | 06:14 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sicelo: kbd backlight is unrelated to FPC/flex. It's controlled vy a magnet in display slider that gets sensed by a hall sensor roughly above the "O" key iirc | 06:15 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sixwheeledbeast^: ^^^ | 06:15 |
DocScrutinizer05 | the magnet is basically at edge of display slide and positions next to hall when slide is completely open | 06:16 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it's not unheard that magnet getting loose | 06:17 |
DocScrutinizer05 | otoh kbd backlight gets controlled by 6 of the LP5523 channels, while the remaining 3 channels control the RGB indicator LED | 06:20 |
DocScrutinizer05 | e.h. fcam might fsck up both indicator light and jbd backlight | 06:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | e.g.* | 06:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sixwheeledbeast^: it's MCE which controls the backlight, you might want to have an eye on it and what it does (which "files" it reads and which I2C commands it sends to LP5523) - strace might be your best friend | 07:41 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sicelo: actually what's the problem exactly? "intermittent kbd backlight" sounds like hard to detect since the kbd BL already acts pretty weird in regular operation | 07:42 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sixwheeledbeast^: ^^^ dang | 07:42 |
DocScrutinizer05 | what the heck is wromng with my irc client nick completion? | 07:43 |
DocScrutinizer05 | dman konversation is supposed to replace a plain <TAB> by most recently used nickname completion. However it doesn't. While I evidently used sixwheeledbeast^ last time, it gives me sicelo | 07:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | DocScrutinizer05: | 07:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | DocScrutinizer05: | 07:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sixwheeledbeast^: | 07:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sixwheeledbeast^: | 07:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | tzz now it works | 07:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | KDE 5 is a FSCKNG RNG | 07:48 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sixwheeledbeast^: MCE will shut down backlight when ambient light is too high | 07:50 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sixwheeledbeast^: the ALS has an annoying similarity to a camera with tele lens. Sitting in a pretty dark room the ALS might think you're in bright daylight since the ALS points to the tiny bright spot of a light bulb | 07:51 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sixwheeledbeast^: though the opposite is more usually to be seen, your device is brighly illuminated from e.g, sun shining in through a window, but ALS thinks it's pitch black night time since it looks to the black painted ceiling | 07:53 |
Maxdamantus | as for the input used by mce to determine whether to turn the backlight on/off, I imagine it would be the "slide" gpio. | 07:55 |
Maxdamantus | the state of that can be read at /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/slide/state | 07:55 |
Maxdamantus | I'm pretty sure I've stopped mce from responding to gpio states by just mounting regular files over those nodes in sysfs, so it probably just reads/polls that file. | 07:57 |
DocScrutinizer05 | KotCzarny: >>privacy? whats that?<< I think that's an incredibly good question, much better than you thought when you asked it | 07:57 |
KotCzarny | yup | 07:58 |
Maxdamantus | on the device that I'm currently using, the slide gpio wasn't working from the time I got it, so the backlight doesn't come on, and it doesn't wake up when opening the slide. | 08:00 |
KotCzarny | most people just think of it as a cellar where one does his/hers hobbies | 08:00 |
KotCzarny | without marketers ringing all the time and police looking over, no matter if you do legal or less legal things | 08:01 |
Maxdamantus | on my device the hall sensor also doesn't work, dunno if the two things are related. | 08:01 |
DocScrutinizer05 | back in the ancient days of internet we dialed a dial-up ISP phone number with our Hayes modem over plain old telephone system. Pay-per-minute, no authentication, no logging of the number you're dialing in from - perfect anonymity | 08:01 |
Maxdamantus | (the hall sensor not working is probably a bit more annoying, since I have to turn the screen off manually during a phone call to prevent my face pressing buttons on the screen) | 08:02 |
DocScrutinizer05 | thinhs changed and now you get tracked from log in to your ISP account to cookies on your browser and logging of your IP across several websites | 08:02 |
KotCzarny | for many its 'leave me damn alone' | 08:02 |
KotCzarny | even if they spill themselves over the internets in every possible way | 08:02 |
KotCzarny | people were counted and numbered since ancient times | 08:03 |
KotCzarny | it's not a new concept | 08:03 |
DocScrutinizer05 | we should try to define pretty clearly what is relevant for our "privacy", what we are concerned about and would like to see protected against | 08:03 |
KotCzarny | that depends if you believe in society or individuals | 08:04 |
KotCzarny | because those two arent the same in the effect | 08:04 |
DocScrutinizer05 | opne thing's for sure: the perfect anonymity of the good ole days of dial-in internet via modem from a phone booth are gone forever | 08:04 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and even back then you could reveal you plain name by dosclosing info in a "place" in internet where you better had not done so | 08:06 |
KotCzarny | anonimity isnt the same as privacy | 08:07 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but back when, no companies made a business out of your comprehensive activity log in internet | 08:07 |
DocScrutinizer05 | seems everybody startzs worrying about their "privacy" but nobody has a clear concept of what "privacy" actually means | 08:09 |
KotCzarny | you can still be anonymous, but profiled | 08:09 |
KotCzarny | as is the case with google for example | 08:09 |
KotCzarny | they dont know who you are at the beginning, yet, in time they have your profile | 08:10 |
KotCzarny | even if they dont put your name on it (yet) | 08:10 |
DocScrutinizer05 | yes | 08:13 |
DocScrutinizer05 | like with any attack threatening you or your devices, you need to start by defining the threat model before you can reasnably think about how to defend against that threat | 08:14 |
KotCzarny | tl;dr, for knowledgeable people privacy==security from profiling, for others its just marketing scheme about big joes having ability to sell you legally | 08:15 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sounds like a pretty good first approach | 08:15 |
KotCzarny | unfortunatelly with our current society it's the latter we hear about | 08:15 |
KotCzarny | people hardly ever fight over the important things (for me important being healthy sustainability of our planet/humanity as a whole) | 08:17 |
DocScrutinizer05 | >>Microsoft itself does not obey the DNT header, stating "Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, Microsoft services do not currently respond to browser DNT signals."<< | 09:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Track#Effectiveness | 09:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | the result of not clearly defining what's the subject at hand (privacy) - this excuse is halfway legit | 09:54 |
sixwheeledbeast^ | DocScrutinizer05: sicelo: ty, sounds like it's the high ambient light issue that I maybe seeing. The issue disappears when I am in a dim or dark room. I will monitor it for now. I know since I replace the main ribbon the IR sensor hasn't been perfect but never had the keyboard lights off before. I think i ever so slightly misaligned the main ribbon on tray. | 10:25 |
sixwheeledbeast^ | If it's a magnet then at least i know the main ribbon isn't dying again. | 10:26 |
sixwheeledbeast^ | As for privacy topic i just simply refuse to use something if they a Privacy Policy i don't like. | 11:01 |
KotCzarny | what if they do it in gray area? | 11:05 |
sixwheeledbeast^ | ? | 11:21 |
KotCzarny | ie. you dont know about it, but they profile you at the order of some gov. agency | 11:22 |
sixwheeledbeast^ | If I "must" use the service do so with additional protection VPN/Onion | 11:26 |
