If enough people do it, they'll find a way to solve the problem (e.g. a subdomain of the official city site, putting back regular parking meters/machines, ...)
I mean in this case I would recommend using a search engine to cross-reference, and any other phishing countermeasures you might normally use.
I think the situation is dire when it comes to non-technical users, but I don't think QR codes are the problems here, someone could equally well paste a sticker over the entire board with all the URLs replaced or with details of a completely different (fake) parking company (but I agree replacing QR codes probably makes it harder for an employee to spot).
My actual IRL solution would be to look up the parking company and their domain based on the lot's Google/other map data. It might also be fake but that seems less likely.
If there's no machine to pay directly, no attendant, not a city owned lot, and no verifiable payment site online... I'd be inclined to do what someone else suggested and just not pay and see what happens.
The real solution seems like it should be a physical payment machine that accepts credit cards/cash. Those could also be fake, but much much harder to pull off successfully. (easier to track fraudulent credit cards processors, and no chance of leaking CC credentials with EMV contactless)
Yeah, we need authenticated QR codes and web of trust (only half-joking.)
My experience is that Easypark works in most of Europe and is great because of that. I trust them, and that's all I need. I really avoid QR codes, and I don't want to install your little local app.
Another commenter in this thread says parking works well in China, because WeChat is the trusted middle man.
Sadly, as always, winner takes it all has its benefits in terms of ease of knowing what to trust.
Uh, Gmail also has usage limits for each tier. I know before I’ve painstakingly removed emails with large attachments just so I can keep receiving my email.
15gb on the free tier...empty your emails folks. This madness of keeping every email is insane. I had a user with 60000 unopened emails on one account just 2 weeks ago. It's like some folks refuse to do basic data/comms house keeping.
I have junk gmail address that gets filtered into my real gmail account (Zunk label instead of Junk) which keeps my real gmail account clean (few to handful of emails a day of things that are meaningful). Ive always have given out my junk gmail address to anyone i dont know personally or do business with.
TLDR: while meal replacements were technically effective, they did come at a cost to her mental health. Shifting to a well balanced diet appeared more sustainable in the long run.
I think that’s meant to be a security feature. If it can be toggled off in software, that lessens the trust that it reliably represents the state of recording.
Maybe a black circle sticker might help? I see people do that to block the camera. Should work just as well for the LED.
Not sure why your comment was downvoted. ^ is absolutely the right answer.
Open WebUI is functionally identical to the ChatGPT interface. You can even use it with the OpenAI APIs to have your own pay per use GPT 4. I did this.
Hey can you guys elaborate how this works? I'm looking at the Ollama section in their docs and it talks about load balancing? I don't understand what that means in this context.
An app called "reprovision" can do the same on an iOS device, without requiring a copy of altserver running. I haven't used it since 2021 when I used it for signing a jailbreak app, and development has stalled since then, but it worked for me.
