From what I can tell, Windows SE is the education version of Windows S-mode, which always sucked. Had a few run-ins with it on family computers and it was always a giant pain in the ass just to get basic programs running.

I’ve been meaning to get rid of Google Authenticator. Think I’m gunna go do that today. :)

If it makes you feel better, thunderf00t just came out with a new video. :)

I haven’t watched it yet, but it’s on my short list!

Maybe some finance, home repair, defense economics.

I never understood why people keep falling for the ‘dehumidifer will solve world water shortages’ thing over and over. It’s an old idea and there is damn good reason you don’t see this ‘obvious’ solution deployed everywhere. (Check out the WaterSeer video if you would like to know more)

Yeah, I also read it the opposite way as the author wrote it: 469 people were warned by Google after their government failed to warn them.

It’s not Google’s job to track and warn people about earthquakes, their job is to make sure their alert system accepts/distributes government safety warnings, which to my knowledge works just fine.

No electricity required.

Means this dehumidifier produces even less water than the standard powered dehumidifier.

Uses outside air.

Will breed even nastier shit in the water than one inside a building.

Absolutely. And that is the problem you actually need to solve in the places lacking potable water. They generally have some water, it just isn’t potable. Filters need regular replacing, additives like chlorine need constant resupply, and reverse osmosis is extremely energy intensive. It’s fundamentally a logistics problem.

These are called dehumidifiers and you should not drink the water that comes out of them.

The condensed water is pure, yes. But dehumidifiers almost instantly become a breeding ground for all kinds of nasty shit. Nasty shit that is now in your ‘pure’ water.

Edit: It’s the same problem as the WaterSeer which is also a passive dehumidifier. This same idea comes up several times a year, yet you don’t see them deployed in quantity anywhere. They simply don’t work well. (The WaterSeer actually seems like a better design than what is in OP’s article.)

I’ll likely be spending $8,000 a month

You can hire an actual programmer for that kind of money. Someone with years of experience who knows what they are doing.

If you are within visual sight of the mainland, you can use a pair of point-to-point communication dishes to get internet from the mainland and beam it to yourself. These dishes, only having to communicate over a few miles and with direct line-of-sight, are pretty reliable and not terribly expensive.

Any sat internet that does not use low earth satellites is a giant pain. Pings measured in seconds, very low bandwidth, and very low data caps.

Pick basically anything else if you have the option.

It’s fine, no reason to sell the data, the service was literally just breached!

China’s birthrate is 1.15 children per woman. Replacement birthrate is 2.1 children per woman.

If each woman is having less than 2.1 children, the population falls.

Heavily underutilized for now.

China has a birthrate of 1.15 children per woman. When is this later time you allude to when there will be more people to utilize the heavily underutilized network?

China has quite a number of trains already. Arguably they overbuilt their train network as much of it is heavily underutilized.

A lighthouse uses the same lens, just with the light coming from the inside. Since this is old knowledge, what is the drawback? Why isn’t this widespread?

My completely uninformed guess:

• The lens and assembly costs too much compared to just more solar panels

• The lens/panel combo is so bulky/prone to failure it becomes unreasonable to actually install/use.

the FTC had failed to follow correct procedures and conduct an analysis before issuing the rule

The FTC is free to issue this again. They need to do it in accordance with the law next time.

It’s absolutely sexual harassment.

But, to your question: you can’t just say something has underage nudity when the nudity is of an adult model. It’s not CSAM.

Anyone with half a brain will certainly claim as much. Even if people don’t fully believe it, it will blunt the most serious of social consequences.
