Close-up of a plastic device casing being cleaned—an iFixit opening tool is scraping away softened adhesive residue and debris from the surface, likely following heat damage or a melted internal component.

Your gadgets aren’t melting. They’re just… aging weirdly. Plastic gets sticky, but you don’t have to be stuck with it. Learn how to clean up your devices and make them usable again at the link below.

Yes, that's definitely part of it. The same is true on Linux most of the time.

I could be that person. You never want to be behind me at self checkout. I have some kind of curse.

GitHub - ar51an/iperf3-win-builds: iperf3 binaries for Windows. Benchmark your network limits. iperf3 binaries for Windows. Benchmark your network limits. - ar51an/iperf3-win-builds

The manga is also good.

It's just a paywall with extra steps.

The second channel video is currently unlisted but linked from the main video. It looks like a less spicy version of the main video, in a swap from the usual pattern.

What an excellent match for Nebula! Her books are fantastic and the videos even better. I can't wait to see what she does when freed from The Algorithm.

Definitely need to take the south way in on my next Ladd's walk. I keep missing good stuff like this.

Try a canned corned beef Reuben. Not as bad as a Spam Reuben but with a lot of the shelf life and availability benefits.

Should make for some really interesting traffic analysis opportunities.

I always enjoy a good war story. They tend to be fun whether I’m giving or receiving the interview.

Time to search for more money.

"The molecule, he adds, is also a powerful explosive that generates only N2 as a by-product."

It's unstable at room temp but the authors claim it's stable at liquid N2 temps. Interesting stuff.

Thanks for taking one for the team.

Authentication done "right" is a real pain.

All of them?

Watching the ever-cheerful Rick Steves describe fascism with a smile on his face was very off-putting. Informative, but... Odd.

Definitely worth watching!

Engineering in Plain Sight A beautifully illustrated guide with fascinating explanations to nearly every part of the constructed world.

A great intro to how all this looks from ground level is this book from a fellow YouTube explainer:

Conveniently, the sample chapter is on the electrical grid.

A 24-hour test run of the Hyundai Ioniq 5's Vehicle-to-Load function YouTube video by Technology Connextras
