This is anecdotical but I moved into an apartment with a 30 year old ionizing smoke detector, and the failure was it was too sensitive, I assume because there were less electrons being emitted from the radioactive element, any faint smoke caused it to go off. Eventually it got into a state where it would always be in an alert state, and was beeping 100% of the time, which was when the landlord finally replaced it.

My assumption with the 10 year replacement recommendation for Americium based smoke detectors is to replace it before it becomes too sensitive and annoying, because they were worried some people would remove the battery and just live without an active smoke detector.

They made it easier to blackhole DNS lookups: *.microsoft is way easier than enumerating azure.com, msdn.com , live.net, etc

When I was in IT, had someone who couldn’t get their USB printer to be detected by their laptop. They turned everything on/off and it never would show up. Even I was a little confused, so I unplugged it from the laptop, and then went to go plug it back in, but couldn’t feel the port. I go to take a look, and find there’s no USB ports on that entire side of the laptop. somehow they plugged the USB cable into the Ethernet port.

The way I think Ford sees it is in the OT, his death in Empire or Jedi would have been a fitting end to his character. He is introduced to the series as a self interested scoundrel, who is only concerned with getting paid. Then he comes back heroically to blow up the death star, selflessly risks his life to save Luke on Hoth, and sacrifices himself so Leia and Chewie are spared. After he’s unfrozen, there’s not a whole lot of character development in Jedi so he just becomes a side character. It seemed like he cared for the character until Han became a side character and that’s why he wanted Han to be killed off.

Wow that is really blue, checks background color:

Regarding the USA point, from the article, there are many indications that the site was founded by someone from Russia:

But in October 2025, the FBI sent a subpoena to domain registrar Tucows seeking “subscriber information on [the] customer behind archive.today” in connection with “a federal criminal investigation being conducted by the FBI.” We wrote about the subpoena, and our story included a link to Patokallio’s 2023 blog post in a sentence that said, “There are several indications that the [Archive.today] founder is from Russia.”

The linked paper, “Replication of Quantum Factorisation Records with an 8-bit Home Computer, an Abacus, and a Dog” is also a great breakdown of how much the quantum factoring is more of a parlor trick and not practical for factoring RSA Keys, mainly since the prime factors are only a few bits off of each other and from the square root of the number being factored.

Look, you’re famous!

Yeah that’s what’s holding me back from a big upgrade. 64 GB of RAM is nice, but it’s DDR3 and AFAIK I need a whole new mobo and cpu to get to newer DDR

I’m still on my desktop build from 2011, except I have slowly upgraded parts over the years like the ship of theseus

Thank you for this. Sucks the local chapters are primarily organized on discord. Seems pretty risky that they could all be shut down in one fell swoop.

It was all worth it for them to end with the Avengers Musical.

Last picture should be Helen Keller with no wires

They’re probably not even building to industry standards and not properly grounding their equipment, so if you were to visit the “datacenter” you’d be literally shocked.

Shhhh, the pitchforks are out, who needs evidence. In all reality, if you were to be wiretapped, an Alexa wouldn’t be the best option. Most people already have an internet connected microphone they carry around with them everywhere. And it has multiple cameras too, which are regularly brought into the bathroom with them.

Considering the community, I think catting 156 GB to grep and calling it fastWikiLookup is a subtle joke about how absurd this is.

OMG, your real name isn’t really Ovo647??
