But, what does that actually achieve besides limiting Canada's ability to, for example, seize assets? TikTok, being a digital platform, isn't very dependent on regional presence; it's not like you've gotta head to their offices to post/view content.

If TikTok/ByteDance isn't complying with Canadian laws/standards, Canada no longer has leverage to influence change.

How does this actually 'harm' TikTok and/or protect Canadians?

The article writer's didn't even read the paper they are reporting...

This is power-over-skin. Ie: power transmitted from one device to another via human skin. It's not harvesting or generating energy from the human body.

The research paper, published by Andy Kong, Daehwa Kim, and Chris Harrison from Carnegie Mellon University, notes that the human body is particularly efficient at generating 40 MHz RF energy.

No. It doesn't. At all....

Page 1 of the research paper PDF:

We call our technique Power-over-Skin Prior work has found that the human body is particularly efficient at conducting 40 MHz RF, while largely confining transmitted power to the body

Seems it's a re-write of this article from Monday, leaving out the transmitter part.

(their source from 3 weeks ago) https://youtu.be/5PEN04-jyCU?si=JzzeLW6KalDKxOss

Power isn't harvested from the human body it's transmitted (in really small amounts) across the body from one device to another, using capacitive coupling and 40MHz AC voltage.

[...] the Government of Canada has ordered the wind up of the Canadian business carried on by TikTok Technology Canada, Inc. The government is taking action to address the specific national security risks related to ByteDance Ltd.’s operations in Canada through the establishment of TikTok Technology Canada, Inc. [...]

[...] The government is not blocking Canadians’ access to the TikTok application or their ability to create content. The decision to use a social media application or platform is a personal choice. [...]

Sooo, what's the goal here? How does this help, or effect, Canadians?

Do you perhaps have a non-English system language?

Radarr has settings in each quality profile to select a release language, but Sonarr does not... Wondering if it's tied to system language instead.

I do not see this issue: titles search in English only. (including the example series 'The Penguin')

It is a Linux tool unfortunately :/

You could use it to clone the windows disc/partition from a Linux machine/live usb, try out your de-bloating process, and restore again via a Linux machine/live usb if needed.

This was their stance 2 months ago:

https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/turns-out-you-wont-be-able-to-uninstall-windows-11s-recall-feature-after-all

I don't think that would have changed if not for the backlash Microsoft has received for it.

Now, supposedly it's optional and off by default, but that could change again anytime...

Add a clause to the contract between Steam and the developer requiring the dev to reimburse Steam for refunds due to post-sale changes (ie, from that specific 'accept, decline, refund' option). If the dev doesn't pay the bill, Steam can use the breach of contract as leverage.

If you selfhost paperless-ngx, there are option to add email accounts and regularly import emails+their attachments like any other document. You can then have it delete imported mail from the mail server, or just move/mark it so you can deal with that manually.

It doesn't currently support OAuth2 for providers like Microsoft, so you've gotta use App Passwords with Gmail for now, but there is a fix in the pipeline to add OAuth2 support soon. (there's also other methods you can use to get that part working right now)

While the bounty is set to a minimum of $10,000, there is no cap on how large the bounty can be.

 

When viewing individual comment trees, usually by opening a comment from my own history that has replies on it, or just clicking view context: the original comment is the furthest indented, with the replies indented one less, and further replies to those less indented still until the lowest level comment appears as the oc, but at the bottom of the list.

Here's an example:

 

An example (text obfuscated as it's irrelevant):

The entire area of this screenshot except the white text, post time, and space immediately between those two; opens one of the hyperlinks. (ie: all of the empty space to the right of the green links, all the way up to the edge of the screen, as well as the green text itself)

I wouldn't expect or want empty space to open links, particularly if I'm trying to minimize/collapse a comment with questionable links in it.

I'm pretty frequently having a different post open than the one I click on in my feed. Usually opening a post that's not even on my screen or within a few posts in either direction; it seems to pick one at random.

When viewing comments and collapsing them; if you leave that view for any reason like creating/editing a comment or taping on a username, when you return to those comments they have all expanded again losing the place you've scrolled to.
