Stealing it remains perfectly legal, and is very cost effective.

So 20% of TCP connections get get terminated early, with half of those classisified as Post-Syn -- sounds like tarpitting to me. That's a passive response that flips the asymmetry of the attack to use resources on the attacker side and none on the victim's. Awwww, poor Cloudflare's servers being used in a DDOS attack are being tied up!

Rather than simply drain the condensate from the room to the outside, have the fan kick it up into the external heat dissipation coils, cooling them, and gaining much efficiency. Westinghouse did this in the 60s with their small room air conditioners, and produced a unit which cooled much better than the competition's equivalent model.

The exact situation of Earth/Luna, cleverly eliminated by the lower limit on the weight (Luna is 7.3e22 Kg. Note that the Luna orbit is NEVER convex with respect to the sun. This whole redefinition is to clearly eliminate Luna as a planet, whereas in the previous definition, it was, although never admitted.

Gasp, H.L. Mencken was wrong! "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public." ;^D

See Hal Clement's "The Nitrogen Fix (1980) for what happens if Nitrogen fixing becomes widespread, and what could be more widespread than algae?

You don't look through the binoculars, you use them to project an image of the sun on a flat white surface (6-8' away). That image is 6" - 18" across, is perfectly safe to watch, and you can use this technique to see sunspots (and planet Merc eclipses too!).

Yup, "All the screens went blank for 10 seconds" -- pilot remark to passenger asking what happened. Look at the FAA 787 airworthiness notifications -- reboot the computers every 22 days.

When Microsoft EOSs a Win 11 feature set (as they promised they'd do every two years and as they've done for Win11 21h2), all security patches stop. Anyone still running Win11 21h2 has been running unpatched for five months. Microsoft even offers patches for unactivated licenses, so forcing the latest feature upgrade on EOLed feature sets is closing a big security hole. Now the lack of security patches still will remain on the (unqualified) machines that had forced a Win 11 upgrade to 21h2. Using registry keys, you can still reinstall to 23h2, and likely get two more years of patches.

Amusingly enough, in San Francisco, bicycles are not required to stop for stop signs! The rider determines if it's safe to ignore them. Bad judgement, nothing illegal here (crazy maybe, but not illegal).

Read the fine FUD, only updates have the Microsoft draconian requirements -- Full installs from USB likely run just fine. Note however, these full Win 11 23h2 installs on older machines will not get the offers to upgrade to any later versions. They will pick up any activations existing on the machines. e.g. applying a USB 23h2 upgrade to a W11 Pro which was upgrade from Win11 Home with a Win 7 pro key, the install ran just fine and the result was an activated Win 11 pro 23h2. This full Win install to the existing Win partition did not even mess up a dual boot with Ubuntu,. Following the pattern of EOLing of Win 11 21h2 in two years, you will need one of these full installs every two years, if Microsoft still allows them. I guess Microsoft could stop updates at any time, but why would they, they even update unactivated copies.

The TB failure windows has a "Change Password" button. Click it, then manage any two factor business without getting out of sync (the 15 min good-for time is instantly over if you to it again).

I wonder how many of these W11 machines are "unofficial" installs -- machines whose capabilities don't qualify them for the W10 upgrade to W11, but will work just fine with a full W11 install from USB. The Microsoft FUD is that they may stop patches for such installs in the future, but even unactivated installations get patches, so I very much doubt they will. Lack of drivers is another FUD category, but the only driver problems I've seen on 10+ yr. old machines are for ancient printers that the vendor and official W11 installations no longer support.

We already have Doge coin ;^D

Charging cables do not have to have the data lines, and I'd like to see the hack through the power lines!
