Yeh, it's an http site. So any browsers that require https will block/warn.

But also, holy hell is it obvious once you realise.
Arms up, then swipe down out to the sides, and repeat. Like frantically trying to fly.
As SOON as they are in trouble, it's arms flailing in that pattern. Like, look for white splashing water and assess if it's playing or panic.

A few you can tell who it is gonna be because they flip off their donut. And a few you can tell cause they are trying to swim but are looking up and aren't keeping their mouth above the water (I clicked on one of these to be told "it's fine" only for them to start thrashing and get rescued when I resumed the video)

Pretty sure the largest structures on the ISS is a toss-up between the thermal radiators and the solar panels.

So massive expense to generate power and massive expense to dissipate the waste heat. You know, that waste heat that is already causing water issues near data centers on earth in an environment that we have had centuries of experience working in.

Elon is tripping balls again

I'm amazed at the comments explaining incoming water temperature fluctuations and pressures....

No no, thermostatic tap/faucet mixes waters depending on the output temperature. Ignores all of the variables except the thermal mass (I guess reaction speed) of the thermostatic system.

I think they are normally like 10x the price of a standard mixer tap tho.
So, it's a budget choice

Huh.
So the UK has previously failed to block encryption. And somehow the Online Safety Act got pushed through to PrOtEcT ThE ChiLDrEn - requiring age verification for all adult content.
Resulting in a study by ministers on how VPNs stop OfCom from enforcing the OSA.
Which is a thing VPNs do. So it's very likely VPNs get de-anonymised, regulated or outlawed.

Seems like there is a war on the actual internet, owning device and services.

Why don't they licence IP addresses? Require a change to IPv6 and just assign everyone a IPv6/48 block at birth. That means there are 281 billion birth assignments available, with everyone getting septillions of personal addresses - actually more than you could provision in a vibe coded k8s manifest.

If there are 200 million births per year (it's apparently 135 million atm), thats well over 1000 years before we run out of IPv6/48 blocks (1400 years, to be slightly more accurate. At a constant 135m births per year, thats 2000 years. But conservatively, 1000 years before we reuse IPv6/48 blocks... If we don't reduce the block size to represent year born or something)

Fuck.
The good internet is gone. The convenient internet is fading fast.

Yeh, absolutely.
The DMCA takedown works because music/film industry execs have previously gone after YouTube for not responding to legitimate copyright infringements.
So YouTube now favours the person claiming the strike and makes it very difficult for the defendant to exonerate themselves.

Changing how they publish will sidestep YouTube overplaying.
But YouTube has revenue split with content creators, and has an absolutely massive audience with discovery algorithms and community stuff. Moving away from that platform would be an insane move

American airliners sold passenger data to ICE.

Why the fuck would I go there as a tourist?
Enjoy TSA's finest just to be ICEd once I get to my hotel?
Fuck that, I can have a better holiday in Europe.

Or say that Zelensky attacked the hotel in a false flag in order to pressure for support

Like, watching the consequences... Right?
Not the actual fucking. Right?

Generally the chemistry and any features of the battery.

https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Button_cell#Type_designation

C means Lithium. The R means Round.

The IS IEC spec that defines the coding is 60086-3

The metadata is actually quite important.
Sure, chances are it's a "pending WhatsApp message" notification, but not the actual contents of the message.
However, with enough metadata and by surveying traffic from WhatsApp data centers, someone could see User A accessed WhatsApps service, which generated a WhatsApp notification for User B.
That might just be a coincidence, but with enough data and time, the probability that User A is talking to User B can be increased.
If it also shows that Users C, D and E also get notifications at the same time, it is likely that all those users are in a group chat together.
It's called a timing attack.
And perhaps it isn't enough evidence to stand up in court, it can help build the profile of the users, and guide investigations to other possible accomplices.
