  • I’m sure they’re smarter than me but my novice cryptographer brain doesn’t understand this.

    Isn’t the string of numbers representing each pixel rather limited Aren’t all those sections of the image that have lava lamps limited to values somewhere in the reddish/blueish spectrum? Isn’t the gray background very non-random?

    Apparently the camera is accessible in the lobby. They say people walking in front of the camera adds randomness. If I go there and hold a photo in front of the camera which I know the values of, doesn’t that compromise everything?

    To be fair their site says they take the lava lamp output and combine it with entropy from two servers and probably do a lot of other stuff before actually getting random numbers. But I don’t get how the lava lamps photo setup is even close to being random

    tried and failed to add image, so here a link: https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ssl/lava-lamp-encryption/






  • I love wireless charging. I don’t know how it would be a gimmick, except that it’s slower than using a cord (but I think the next generation is supposed to be really fast). They make DIY wireless chargers that you can wire up and put in things. I have two that I mounted under the little tray on top of my dash. I put my wireless charging earbuds case in the tray and it automatically charges while I’m driving. I have a flashlight that can charge there too. The tray is too small for a phone or else a phone could charge there. I’ve been thinking about putting one inside my nightstand at home https://a.co/d/gdghAWp

    I also like magnetic phone holders with wireless charging. I made mine out of a different type of mount and charger but it’s something like the link. I have one mounted to my dash where I can see the phone if I need nav or something, it holds it firmly and charges as I’m driving. Also mounted one on my desk next to the computer. https://a.co/d/7pauuzO
