It should remain a part of elementary math class. After all, analog clocks or odometers are the easiest way to broach various topics like modular math.

How exactly is another system of insecure, network accessible cameras with security implications "off-topic?" Is it because its domestically designed-shit rather than a foreign company? Or are people too simple to see the parallels?

Now go after flock "safety" and all of its ill-conceived and awfully implemented brethren.

They sold their future long ago and yet next time it will be different. Just get back to a nice, simple but extensible browser that doesn't get in the user's way with arbitrary constraints or continuous god-awful re-designs.

Brilliant! Of course, there is the small matter of their already being a whole class of chemicals called alum X-P

You're not three quarters as clever as you think you are being. While some sex chromosome anomalies leave the individual sterile, others do not. Moreover, even if individuals are in reproduction this does not mean that the individuals are polar opposites. Many plants are fertile hermaphrodites, while others are single sex, and there's an argument that other species have more than two sexes. Indeed, I recall a lesson in a population genetics class in college about a plant with many many sexes, any two of which can reproduce... I thought it was clover or lavender, but unfortunately cannot find a citation to substantiate that. Of course humans aren't plants, but they simply serve as an example of how complex seemingly simple systems really are.

This ignores the "right"'s extensive efforts to suppress voter rights, not to mention the inherit voter suppression of much of the population in our fucking electoral college that effectively lets land vote. This is only further exacerbated by distortion by several layers of first-past-the-post in most cases: whomever wins the most votes in a district wins the district. Whomever wins the most districts in the state gets all the marbles; except for Maine and Nebraska, there it's proportional. Whomever wins the most marbles is awarded the presidency. Even without gerrymandering, such repeated rounding errors stack up.

Your shaggy dog here is a bit of a straw man. The evidence was that the treatment was not working. Therefore your characterization is improper and you are instead describing laziness, stubbornness or bureaucracy, regardless of what label you (think they) applied.

I think you misunderstood my point. It was not to rely on a file extension, but the same definitions used by file(1)

What's the point? File types are well defined. Even if you feel the distinguish between "look-alikes" why wouldn't you use something that understands the the basic common types first, and then do your "AI" nonsense to detect dialects for those where it's relevant?

Are you sure they are cancelled? When I've run into this the "insecure" file is sitting there with the temporary name used during downloading. Renaming it manually as desired ends up with what was expected.

Self-signed certs won't do any good if the old NAS, etc. doesn't have a means of importing a certificate, does not support TLS 3, etc. Google's forced "security" treadmill is not that different from Microsoft's TPM 2 dependency for Windows 11: Both do little more than annoy users and generate e-waste.

See Tom7's video linked in a comment above (although I'm not sure why the OP did not name him). A sphere has too much symmetry, you cannot cut a sphere-cross section i.e; circle) in a sphere that is large enough for the sphere to pass through, while leaving enough "material" for there to still delineate the whole.

Since when? RJ Reynolds Nabisco isn't paying for "Nicotine is addictive" posters at your corner store out of the kindness of their hearts.

13 million registered vehicles does not mean 13 million cars regularly used for transit. Some people collect antique vehicles, which must be registered. Some have RVs, which must registered, etc. etc.
