Not necessarily. Could be a play to out the individuals, particularly if the inviduals are known to have a sour relationship with various crime organizations. Or heck, even individuals who might have a cozy relationship with organized crime until the nature of some sort of non-blessed activities comes to light. A doxxing of that nature could rattle some cages and give pause to others looking to fill their shoes.

Last night I attempted to search using Google for a particular topic specifically because I wanted recent news about it. I was baffled when there was no News tab to be found. In at least this case the lack of a News tab was a loss.

To those complaining about the uselessness of Google's News section, I've found that it helps a lot to click through Google's options to "Hide all stories from [wherever]", and "[More|Fewer] stories like this". I swear, you click on one story about some historic bauble Kate Middleton wore to some event, and you'll be mashing that Fewer button for the next couple of weeks. Once you "Hide all" from the ragebaiters, paywallers, and celebtrash sites you start seeing the real usefulness of Google News. It just takes some time to get there.

So, they finally found yo' mama's bedtime snack?

HP, Inc. (HPQ) and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) are completely separate, independent companies, which happen to share a common corporate history up until 2015. One or the other should have picked a more distinct name when they split into two. That observation notwithstanding, a "News for Nerds" web site should pay more attention to get this detail correct.

And then MS will require these features to be present for their next version of Windows to install/run on systems, despite no fundamental reason this must be so, other than to justify the new also mandatory Copilot key. And like that, millions of PCs are once again in "need" of being upgraded.

Just so that there's a TLD that's guaranteed to never be made available globally. Many other TLDs can be presumed to work in such a manner in practice, but it's good to have one that's actually guaranteed by rule to have that characteristic.

Ma'am, this is a Wendys.

Same here. I own three Trackball Explorers, one of which has been in heavy use at work for 23 years or so and doesn't show any sign of stopping. I have my daily driver at home, and one in reserve, just in case. A quick refresh of that device, maybe with USB-C (for no reason other than that's what's more readily available on laptops these days) and Bluetooth, and they'd be sure to have a hot commodity.

I use Alt-F4 to close windows/exit programs many time a day -- it's a reflex, one that I don't even think about any longer. Works both in Windows and at least XFCE and many other *nix window managers.

Back when I used DOS F3 was one I used a lot at the DOS prompt (repeat last command), and F1 usually brought up help in lots of Windows programs (probably still does). I seem to remember F5 doing something useful in DOS, but I've forgotten what that was.

Scroll Lock has become useful for my KVM -- double tap plus 1-4 switches the active KVM connection. I haven't used Print Screen since DOS, and don't know that I've ever used Pause, or any of the right-hand Alt/Ctrl/etc keys.

My first thought was windshields. It'd be sort of like having Rain-X built in.

Article I read indicated that the transponder wasn't working for unknown reasons. Sounds to me like something catastrophic happened that took out major portions of the electronics, which would certainly explain why an ejections was necessary.

Works for me.

-*-clean-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-*-* is my first and true love

Take my angry upvote!

While certainly not identical, this looks very similar to the good-ol' Schumacher "screen-medium-r-normal" font I used for years. On current Linux distributions it's so dang hard to find and enable the Schumacher fonts that I've finally given up, but it was good for the couple decades I used it.

% grep font ~/.Xdefaults
