Canceled my Paramount+ subscription due to egregious political censorship at 60 minutes.

It's kind of like my HVAC repair tech pretending that mini split heat pumps aren't available in America and they're super unreliable anyway. He's just never had to service one...

The richest man in the world is making a veiled threat against anyone who would dare question him.

Twitter appears to be dead today. I suppose that's healthy for me.

Will your study be OK in the wake of the huge Federal cuts?

One of my all time favorites!

Sensitivity of antigen tests is low in the best circumstances. You typically need to retest multiple times to rule something out. For this reason I rather buy tests as cheaply as possible.

In my experience approved tests in the US have high failure rates. I found it cheaper to buy many low quality tests and just try another if the control line fails. I previously bought these tests in Japan for less than $1 each.

If you visit Japan pick up these multipack COVID and influenza antigen tests. 4-pack from Amazon JP 1200 yen is $7.64. The equivalent from Amazon US is $40.

MOST FAMOUS ART FROM EVERY DENOMINATION and it has the last super for Catholic, Trinity by Rublev for Orthodox, and the veggies takes for Protestants because it’s good to make fun of Protestants esp. evangelicals

You can’t imagine how many lives your donations are saving.

These are family friends serving in the ZSU from the 154th Brigade.

They felt completely defeated and unable to continue their work. Now thanks to you, they have these excavators and cranes and the position sites buzzing with activity.

United States v. Google LLC (2020) recently found that Google's Android partner system and therefore the Play Integrity API based on it is illegal.

We're in active contact with the EU Commission about the Play Integrity API and are hopeful they're going to do something about it.

One of the biggest lessons from Syria is that, just a month ago, almost no one could have predicted the Assad regime would fall today. The "realities on the ground" crowd would have denied such a possibility. A reminder of why people in Ukraine fight rather than surrender.

OpenWrt Affected By Security Issue That Could Have Led To Compromised Build Artifacts A security issue was reported to the OpenWrt project this week around their Attendedsysupgrade Server (ASU) instances that could have led to compromised firmware images being served.

OpenWRT had a vulnerability in their build system. OpenWRT is great but imagine if it had reproducible builds like Guix, Nix, or Debian? Trusting signatures from a centralized build system just doesn't cut it anymore.

Android 15 QPR1 December 2024 update on Pixel 6+ now has the option to stop charging at 80%. If you keep your battery between 30-80% it will keep healthy for years longer.

Japan never locked down. I rode in packed commuter trains 2020-2021 pre-vax. 100% masks on trains might have slowed spread and limit severity. The country already had many masking during flu season after SARS a decade prior. Masking was not controversial. It made a difference.

Android 15 QPR1 rolling out with December security update With the December 2024 security patch, Google is rolling out the stable Android 15 QPR1 update for the Pixel 9, 9 Pro XL, and 9 Pro Fold.

Hi Roger please continue to post the same content here that you post on Twitter. 😃

Browsers stopped coloring visited links differently in part because it became a way for arbitrary other sites to fingerprint users by the subset of sites they visited before.

August Smart Locks are wayyy down in price but they last only 3 months with non-rechargeable CR123a batteries? No thanks.

What kernel driver is used for Ethernet when you plug that in?

One of the problems of Mastodon's federation model is people don't like what other people say and they ban people or entire federations from being visible to their users. That results in a fragmented experience. BlueSky seems to be superior in letting the user choose their own feeds.

Agrivoltaics can improve water conservation in Africa Research led by the University of Sheffield installed an off-grid agrivoltaic system in Tanzania and a grid-tied agrivoltaic system in Kenya. They found the installations helped boost crop yield and c...

The model comes with 7 years of security updates. To extend the life of your battery try to keep the battery between 30-80% State of Charge to avoid stressing it. The upcoming December 2024 firmware update will have an option to stop charging at 80% I would use at all times except flying.

I'm trying to find a USB C Ethernet adapter you can buy off Amazon reliable with Linux. Both Amazon Basics and UGreen seem to be absolute junk. Both appear as usb_ncm to the kernel. Basics works but flakes out requiring replug. UGreen doesn't recognize a cable is plugged. Any USB C with rtl8152?

The muscle problems are mitochondrial?

My hydrogen inhalation and near infrared radiation have had benefits for mitochondria. They seem to help against PEM crash to a certain degree.

The scale of curtailment is staggering. In CAISO in 2022, 2.4 million MWh of utility-scale wind and solar were curtailed, a 63% increase over 2021. At the average rate for electricity in California of $0.33/kWh, that’s a $800(!) billion loss. #energysky
