How is that done with a computer & printer that has never seen the internet and are hooked together with a cable?This is old news.
The reality is that they can get all your files off the cloud and auto backup and from Microsoft and Apple. The minute you type it, assume it’s un-secure.
Some stuff has "dial home" protocols in the firmware. Files get out and find their way "home". It uses the same basic patterns as a mesh/adhoc network... Never mind that commercial printers don't have to meet any EMI certifications of RF spectrum noise...How is that done with a computer & printer that has never seen the internet and are hooked together with a cable?
Only if you save shit to a cloud. Which I never do.The reality is that they can get all your files off the cloud
I fully understand there are items the sheep have that can call home,... EMI certs mean nothing these days in the real world. FCC enforcement is nothing but a black hole. We see RF issues all the time any more,...Some stuff has "dial home" protocols in the firmware. Files get out and find their way "home". It uses the same basic patterns as a mesh/adhoc network...

I was implying commercial equipment is not required to meet Mil-Std-461.I fully understand there are items the sheep have that can call home,... EMI certs mean nothing these days in the real world. FCC enforcement is nothing but a black hole. We see RF issues all the time any more,...
Understand, but they are required to meet FCC requirements an most everything these days do not. The amount of trash in the air is almost over whelming these days, from most all sources. I can still recall the days before radio suppression ignition wires came out, the only people you would mess up were real close. In today's world some guy with a plasma TV 4 blocks away, can hose up lots of stuff right from the box, let alone if he really knows how to "tune it up". For those of in radio it's a constant battle, be they neighbors with B/S toy's, the power company, or the local mfg plant. Plus they will not believe you until prove it to them, on your nickel/gear. The FCC is worthless,...I was implying commercial equipment is not required to meet Mil-Std-461.
