  • Not a Canadian but same here. I’m driving around with the top down in my convertible if it’s sunny and in the 40s. Coat doesn’t come out usually until single digits, either regular temp or wind chill. Had a bright sunny day a few years ago after a snow storm and my neighbors teased me because I was out shoveling snow in shorts and flip flops. Some of us just handle the cold better than others.


  • Raised in Phoenix I wondered as a kid how people could tolerate the cold because the 40’s felt like I might not survive waiting for the bus. Now I’ve lived in a colder climate for 30+ years and drive around with my top down on my convertible if it’s sunny and in the 40s. I’m not really normal but nonetheless you might be surprised how you can acclimate to a new environment.







  • Thank you for that! I’m keeping the cvedetails link bookmarked.

    My two devices, the Archer BE9300 router and the TL-WA3001 AP aren’t listed with any known vulnerabilities, though I suppose it may be they haven’t been tested. The BE9300 is pretty popular though so that would be surprising.

    The known vulnerabilities in their other devices don’t appear malicious or any worse than other common vendors either however. Given the state of the US government and its desire to monitor it’s citizens, I can’t decide if it’s contempt for TP-Link is a bad thing or not. They might just be mad they can’t get the vendor to give them a backdoor.




  • I have one mikrotik poe AP I use and am quite happy with, but certainly not something I’d recommend for non-technical people because it’s firmware isn’t consumer friendly.

    However my question is really what’s the real risk in using TP-Link devices. Neither the article or any of the comments link to any explanation of the actual risks. Is my network actually open to hackers now? Is my router able to be used for dos attacks or for other purposes now? Everyone is acting like their flaws are common knowledge and there’s zero info about genuine flaws or exploits.






  • The sailors didn’t just eat meat though… they were typically also eating large amounts of high carb hardtack (biscuits), beans and oats as all were cheap and traveled well. Traditional high carb diets need vitamin C sources or scurvy can occur. A very low carb diet can get by with very little vitamin C because it’s not longer competing with glucose, but of course such a diet was rare in past times. The Inuits diet is one well known exception where the people might go most of a year without plant sources of vitamin C and avoiding deficiencies by eating organ meat which is rich in many vitamins and minerals.
