When Proton Mail was launched in 2014, the goal was not just secure communications, but digital identity. If you are not signed into Gmail, Google can no longer connect your activity across the entire internet to your real-life identity.

The bottom half of the case is done, including the rubber gaskets. Now to pop the board in and continue building the top half.

Building this, I’ve just realised Lego is just really coarse grain 3D-printing. Only you can also take it apart. We had 3D printers as kids y’all and we didn’t even know it! :)

Melissa Dungan and GOP members of a Texas school board want to speak with the manager

They think posters in schools of children holding hands showing racial inclusion is “against the law” and they want them removed

Melissa claims her child was so hurt by the image of friendship their child had to switch classrooms

But according to them, the same doesn’t apply to bible verses

I am extremely excited because we're testing a new system to detect #Firefox crashes caused by bad memory.

We're currently finding a very high correlation between potential bit-flips detected by this system and crashes we thought were caused by bad hardware.

This will help us in two ways: we'll be able to avoid spending time looking at those crashes and we might also inform users that their memory went bad and they need to have their machines checked.

ChatGPT uses the equivalent of a 500-milliliter bottle of water for each “conversation”. Yet, when the White House announced last month that 7 of the key companies developing AI had agreed to a list of voluntary commitments focused on protecting Americans’ “rights and safety,” the announcement said nothing about sustainability…https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/ai-chatgpt-climate-environment-18282910.php Important op-ed by Irina Raicu, director of the Internet Ethics program.

“EVs have big batteries. They should come equipped to power homes and the grid in emergencies”

This was a selling point of EVs at the very beginning along with a smarter, integrated power grid. What happened to that? https://apple.news/AdJzSDjJgRYuOn7YGLvR_aA

According to a new study, atmospheric oxygen could be the key factor for the emergence and development of technological civilizations. The study shows that fire, which is essential for many technological advances, is only possible in an atmosphere with a high oxygen content and that such atmospheres are rare in the universe. This could mean that planets where fire is possible, and thus civilizations that use fire, could be scarce and precious. #oxygen #fire #civilization https://phys.org/news/2023-08-technological-civilizations-atmospheric-oxygen.html
