Early spring 2023 I posted Reminder to self: check if FritzOS 7.50 has become available for Fritz!Box 7490 because it would (likely partially) introduce WireGuard support as I knew it had been available for other Fritz!Box devices since december 2022: [Wayback/Archive] Fritzbox: AVM startet die Verteilung von FritzOS 7.50 | heise online
Das Betriebssystem FritzOS 7.50 für Fritzbox-Router ist fertig. Mit dabei sind das Wireguard-VPN und Verbesserungen im Smart-Home-Funktionsumfang.
Finally, early september 2023 my Fritz!Box 7490 devices updated from firmware version 7.29 to 7.57 so apparently it took AVM quite a while to test and stabilise the new features on Fritz!Box 7490.
The final push for 7.57 might actually be a security issue in prior versions that already looks like being exploited according to [Wayback/Archive] AVM: Fritzbox-Firmware 7.57 und 7.31 stopfen Sicherheitsleck | heise online
Fritzbox-Update: Bereits angegriffene Sicherheitslücke wahrscheinlich
In Internetforen finden sich Hinweise darauf, dass die mit dem Update geschlossene Sicherheitslücke bereits angegriffen wird. Den Gerüchten zufolge können Angreifer Zugriff durch den HTTPS-Port 443 erlangen und hätten dann Zugangsdaten zur Fritzbox sowie PPP-Zugangsdaten verändert. Dadurch sei kein Internetzugang mehr möglich, und auch der Zugriff auf die Fritzbox werde verhindert. Einzig ein Werksreset helfe dann, um wieder Zugriff zu erlangen.
The odd thing of the upgrade logs is that the fiber connected 7490 mentioning a DSL settings reset, but the DSL connected 7490 didn’t:

I had to add the below to the firewall permission list of a Fritz!Box to allow watching NPO Start, the free Video on Demand service of the Dutch public broadcasting system:

Too bad that [Wayback/Archive] Cara (@Caramelia79) / Twitter deleted their tweet before it got archived, so this lone tweet does not really make sense now:
[Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “@Caramelia79 @unimanatee Heute neu gelernt: AEG Methode.” / Twitter
The joke however was this:
AEG Methode:
- Ausschalten
- Einschalten
- Geht
It is also known as “AEG-Prinzip” and refers back to the AEG brand that was (still is?) big in Germany for household appliances and industrial products.
The not so cool thing is that by now it seams to mean:
- Ausschalten
- Einschalten
- Geht nicht
as about a year ago some AEG microwave appliance models show errors F606 and F254 after a firmware update: they now think they are steam ovens but cannot find the correct steam hardware:

I’m not alone in feeling hated by printers and multifunctionals.
I had already seen this 2019 comic [Archive.is] System32Comics on Twitter: “Printers nowadays… “ quite a while ago:
- User: Hey printer, can you please print this document?
- Printer: Low on Cyan
- User: Don’t worry, it’s just a black and white text
- Printer: No fuck you, low on Cyan
Printers and the drivers shipped by manufacturers hate me so much, that I now have the habit of using older printers which are better supported out-of-the-box by modern operating systems, hence this tweet:
[Archive.is] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “I try to avoid using the software provided by the printer manufacturer. Usually stock PCL or PostScript drivers work fine.… “
Thanks to [Archive.is] Matt Schultz 😷 on Twitter: “Seems about right… … “, I found out that early 2021 Stevie Martin came along with this hilarious video [Archive.is] “when you’re trying to print something”:
https://twitter.com/5teviem/status/1367868899681832965
And of course the System32Comics version was commented immediately: [Archive.is] Mr. Dubi and Dr. Kan on Twitter: “… “ (:
But also a few other nice comments were made that I had not known of before:
I got at that thread because of [Archive.is] Troy Hunt on Twitter: “No? Yes? The UX in this @Epson printer is undoubtedly one of the worst I’ve ever seen. Just insane. (Near new ET-16600 FWIW.)… :

Given my health uncertainty, I am looking for maintainers for the fritzcap project (it captures calls from a Fritz!Box modem/router and is written in Python).
History
The fritzcap project was originally started in2007 by [Wayback/Archive] spongebob | IP Phone Forum, first as a binary fritzcap.exe Windows executable (see his first post at [Wayback/Archive] FritzBox: Tool für Etherreal Trace und Audiodaten-Extraktion | IP Phone Forum). In 2010 it became an open source Python project at [Wayback/Archive] Google Code Archive – Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.
