And do you think they will be mass adopted to replace smartphones once the technology becomes good enough or will the general public revolt against them like they did with google glasses? Meta just released a new pair of smart glasses which lets you have a discreet POV camera ready to film at all times, discreetly listen to music, view a projected screen just by looking to the side which is not observable to others, talk to an always present AI for any thoughts or questions that pop up during the day, discreetly send text messages by drawing letters on your leg, have instant translation for speech or text that pops up in your view, etc..

All settlements in the Israeli-occupied territories are considered illegal under international law. But the planned expansion of Ma'ale Adumim is especially controversial, not least because the Israeli government has boasted it will bury the idea of a Palestinian state — as countries including Canada prepare to recognize one at the United Nations General Assembly next week.

"It is a retaliation, in a way, to the announcement by Canada and other Western states," Palestinian lawyer Hiba Husseini said in an interview at her law offices in Ramallah, a city in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

"[It] sends a strong message to the West: 'If you recognize the State of Palestine, it's really irrelevant for us on the ground. We do whatever we want to do because we control this entire land.'"

Update: I found a page in fedi.tips that has a lot of detail on this: https://fedi.tips/which-posts-and-accounts-can-i-see-from-my-server/

Federation is a beautiful thing. However, I've known that smaller, newer servers' content isn't always seen on others and vice-versa. And that over time that improves and increases.

So, for example, NewAndQuirky.social starts up. If an account on day 2 of that server does a search on quirky-topic, from which servers would content be seen for that?

Would any contact (a follow, a boost of a post, etc.) between New&Q and another server open up all data from the other? Or just posts related to the boosted posts, or posts from followed accounts?

And just new, or new and old? Any other information on the logic/algorithms of server interaction data would be appreciated.

I'm now into my 3rd day with this printer, and while it's been pretty smooth sailing with PETG so far, I have noticed some consistent layer gore on the first layer. It is consistent across prints with large flat surfaces, and always in the same spots.

However, what made me curious is the fact that it seemed to be at perfect 45 degree angle and at regular intervals, as if it's some remnant of the first layer of another print.

These pectures were taken during the first print after cleaning the print sheet with warm water and dish soap. (I'm getting isopropyl alcohol next week).

Any tips and/or theories? The rest of the print comes out just fine, although I'm still tweaking the extrusion modifier.

PS: I'll gather additional data over time based on the tips and theories posted in here. I'll update the thread in a few days once I have some results (or lack thereof) to report.

UPDATE: For starters, slicer templates are at play. I didn't notice that I had reverted to default when loading a project.
Beyond that, I've started playing with extrusion multiplier as per recommendations in here, and it's getting better. I'm still trying to dial this in perfectly so that I get the other layers nice and full without nozzle accumulating any gunk. Once satisfied I'll play around with settings for first layer.
I guess the updated theory is that the print head movements of the first layer happens to cause washboarding in those positions even if I rotate the print. I would suspect a large surface print would instead of two would result in a single washboard patch.

So we've reached the minorities-flee-the-country stage.

That was fast. It's getting Nazier by the minute in this motherfucker...

I have no desire to get an iPhone, but I was curious about this from the photos I saw of the phone. For the people who do get these phones, it's nice to hear that they're somewhat durable. Still, it would be nice if they were more repairable

This may seem like edging towards paranoia, however, how many of you do a pre-flight check of your network before you use your devices?

Every morning when I start up my computer, I do a pre-flight check against sites like DNSLeakCheck, and several others. It's a back check to make sure my network is operating in as private, secured, and an anonymous manner as possible, and perhaps give me a little more peace of mind.

To facilitate this in an expedient manner, I wrote a simple bat script to do just that.

@echo off
echo Opening websites in succession...

:: List of websites to open
set "websites=grc.com cloudflare.com/ssl/encrypted-sni browserleaks.com/dns dnscheck.tools ipleak.net"

:: Delay between opening each website (in seconds)
set "delay=5"

:: Loop through each website and open it
for %%i in (%websites%) do (
    echo Opening %%i...
    start "" "https://%%i"
    timeout /t %delay% /nobreak >nul
)

echo All websites opened.
# pause

Critique, input always welcomed.

Rabat_ Social Media Exchange (SMEX)—a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing human rights in digital spaces across MENA [Middle East and North Africa] — is warning that Israeli-linked software secretly embedded in Samsung phones across the Middle East and North Africa region poses a serious surveillance threat.

According to SMEX, Samsung’s A and M series devices either come preloaded with the app “Aura” or install it automatically through system updates, without the user’s consent. The application reportedly collects a wide range of personal and device-specific data, including IP addresses, device fingerprints, hardware details, and network information.

My position on this is obvious, but in the interest of keeping things civil, I'll just provide an excerpt.

Thirty one journalists and media staff were killed by Israeli strikes on newspaper offices in Yemen last week in what the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said on Friday was the deadliest attack on journalists in the last 16 years.

Israel struck a newspaper complex in Sana’a, Yemen’s capital, which housed three Houthi-connected media outlets on 10 September. At the time, members of the Yemeni army’s press arm were finishing the weekly print edition, according to the publication’s editor-in-chief, which increased the number of journalists present during the strike.

At least 35 people were killed in the attack, including one child who accompanied a journalist to the office, and 131 were wounded, according to the Houthi ministry of health. All of the journalists worked for either the Houthi-affiliated 26 September newspaper or Yemen newspaper.

The attack was the second-deadliest against journalists that the CPJ had ever recorded, after the Maguindanao massacre in the Philippines in 2009.
