Thank you, it's fixed now.

Sounds like you need some more spent vapes ;)

And reading the article mentioned there about "THE CHEAPEST FLASH MICROCONTROLLER YOU CAN BUY IS ACTUALLY AN ARM CORTEX-M0+" (2023) [1]

Just like how places with bag bans often just end up with thicker plastic bags that can be sold for ten cents and claimed as “reusable.

Some have replaceable pods / tanks, but most have no user serviceable parts whatsoever.

One the liquid is low enough, the coil will burn a bit, and the whole thing should be disposed of.

One shop near me would take used ones and send them off to be properly taken apart and what not, but most people just toss them I suspect.

I'm confused by why anybody would buy one of these when entirely reusable versions exist, but then vaping seems unwise to me in general except as a way to quit tobacco.

What's insane is how cheap all those components are. A quadcore processor with ram and memory, WiFi and Bluetooth for pennies at wholesale.

The latest and fastest GPUs might be a marvel of technology, but so is the tech that let's us make and esp32 for almost nothing

Open a port or if their router supports it, assign their device to a DMZ.

Why do you think it’s risky? Maybe we can talk about ways of securing it.

Like any server, it’s as safe as the server software (and its configuration).

VPS with public ipv4, connected to home network over Tailscale and forward the traffic with socat. You'd probably be fine opening a port directly but a small VPS is free most places so might as well make the most of it.

Or they had an idea, needed devices to test and be able to destroy if they fucked up.

Or turns out you can get virtually unlimited amount of Cortex M0+ microcontrollers for free literally from trash? Sounds like a great idea if you are a hacker
