Produkthaftung fĂŒr #Hardware und #Software in der #EU

Siehe: https://www.golem.de/news/gesetz-fuer-eu-weite-produkthaftung-hersteller-von-hard-und-software-haften-fuer-fehler-2412-191529.html

Liest sich zwar gut und ist ĂŒberfĂ€llig doch könnte das Gesetz Nebenwirkungen haben. Wenn das alles so durchgesetzt wird dann ist das, dass Ende von billig Hardware. Jetzt mögen einige denken kein Chinaschrott mehr und das ist gut so aber viel teurere Router werden zum Problem fĂŒr Verbraucher und sorgen fĂŒr digitale Spaltung. Abgesehen davon bringt das Gesetz alleine keinen Sicherheitsgewinn und die offiziell Verantwortlichen gehen bei schlimmen SchĂ€den pleite ohne, dass es die Verursacher trifft.

Meiner Meinung nach kann man mehr Sicherheit fĂŒr Verbraucher nur mit Open Source erreichen. Alles muss im Quellcode hinterlegt werden und wird freigegeben sobald der Hersteller nicht adequat auf SicherheitsvorfĂ€lle reagiert. Entsprechend geförderte Stiftungen kontrollieren Stichprobenartig die QualitĂ€t und machen Vorgaben fĂŒr die Sicherheit.

5 signs it might finally be time to upgrade your PSU

The image shows a Straight Power 11 750W power supply unit (PSU) in a close-up shot. The PSU is positioned on a white surface, with the box it came in slightly visible in the background. The foreground is dominated by the PSU's rear panel, showcasing an array of connectors and labels indicating their functions, including motherboard (MB), peripheral (P8) connections, and drive connections. The background is somewhat blurred, but a white surface and the partially visible box indicating that it's a 750W power supply are clearly seen.
As a PC user, you probably already appreciate the crucial role of a power supply unit (PSU). It’s not only responsible for routing the correct voltage to every component inside the PC, but also keeping everything operating at peak performance (and importantly, stability). Without adequate and clean power, your CPU, and GPU can easily encounter issues that you might fail to diagnose at first glance.

Two places many PC sellers compromise on to save costs, are the power supply and the case. So often upgrading your PSU with a quality one, can make a real difference, and you may need to anyway if you want to install one of the newer graphics cards.

Quite frequently stability issues arise from cheap PSUs where they cannot sustain loads nearer their rated limits. Another big plus is many after market PSUs are dead silent.

Another overlooked issue with cheap PSUs, is they typically just have a thick bundle of cables coming out of the PSU, no matter whether you many only be using a few of them. After market PSUs will usually have connectors on their casing (like the featured image on this post), so that you only connect what you need to use, and cut down on the cabling clutter inside the PC case.

#OpenWrt One: A Repairable #FOSS Wi-Fi 6 #Router From #BananaPi

Source: https://news.itsfoss.com/openwrt-one/

Built with user control in mind, the OpenWrt One is designed to be open and unbrickable, with a switch to separately flash the NOR and NAND portions of the flash memory. This allows anyone to recover their router quickly, even if one of the #firmware partitions is corrupted, enabling easy flashes and unmatched customization potential.
