I can’t even imagine what that guy brought to the meeting with KCHI.

Great idea! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwticv9ai_Q and, most importantly, easy to implement)

Liza and I are friends!)

Very interesting material about rockets with nuclear engines. It was particularly intriguing to learn that the beer manufacturer “Coors” supplied components for the engine in the middle of the last century

I’ve been noticing for several years now that phones and tablets (various kinds) might try to connect or actually connect to a network that they definitely haven’t seen before. Could it be that the SSID of this network coincidentally matches something familiar to the phone? The network names are clearly non-standard. Any ideas?

Check out how the vehicle registration renewal works here. One of the conditions – passing an eco-friendliness test for emissions. You can go somewhere, and they’ll measure it for you in five minutes and give you a paper. Or you can go nowhere: RAPIDPASS will just send a letter to the owner of a randomly encountered vehicle on the road, via mail, stating that they ALREADY measured the emissions when you drove by the probe with a camera, and now for 28 bucks they’re ready to send this document to the local DMV. Or it sends info that everything is bad, and you need to go get treatment.

I just paid. And yes, you can also pay for the registration through the net, which I did too. And here’s the funny part: they give a ONE percent DISCOUNT on registration payment online. Not a surcharge, a discount!

In Europe from Washington fly Air France, British Airways, Delta, Brussels, United, Aeroflot, Austrian, and a few others.

For some reason, there is no information anywhere about which flights regularly go where from a specific airport. For example, let’s say I don’t care where to go on vacation, as long as it’s cheap. Which airline should I subscribe to?

In general, I couldn’t sleep at night, decided to quickly check manually what flies where from Washington. Not surprisingly, each airline flies home. Thought I would find examples when some, figuratively speaking, Aeroflot, regularly goes “left”. Didn’t find any)

I myself flew from Washington with United, Lufthansa, Iceland Air, Brussels Airlines, Air France, Emirates. Overall, they are listed in order of coolness. For instance, United has a terribly glitchy media system (important for a ten-hour flight). Lufthansa has a less glitchy system, but mediocre service, and weird planes. Air France surprised me with excellent everything. Iceland Air flies “not very far,” and they are budget, basically, they don’t even feed you.

CreditKarma presented me with a report on which leaks and hacks my data had been exposed. Just a typical service, there are many like it. Out of the list of 8 services, one was Russian (QIP, leak from 2011, 33M accounts). And guess which service was the only one on the list where passwords were stored in plain text, not as salted hashes? No matter how excellent our programmers in Russia might be, many projects are hastily put together and carelessly executed.

In the article linked, there is a symbol that, if sent via SMS or WhatsApp, will crash any outdated iPhone and cause dozens of Mac applications, including native ones, to crash. What’s worse, you can no longer access the message history for this user until you update, as the crash will occur every time you try to open the history.

This symbol causes any of the three browsers on my Mac to crash. Just paste it from the clipboard into the browser’s address bar, and without even pressing enter, the whole application crashes. This happens with Safari, Google Chrome, and Opera.

TechCrunch reports that this “symbol of death” causes Mail, Twitter, Messages, Slack, Instagram, and Facebook to crash. “While it initially appeared that the Chrome browser for Mac was unaffected and could safely display the symbol, it later crashed Chrome and the software would not reopen without crashing until uninstalled and reinstalled.”

Additionally, Facebook automatically marks any post containing this symbol as spam and deletes the entire text. I already did this about five minutes ago, and now, I am rewriting everything from scratch.

Even the Apple Watch crashes. So, update everything you have as soon as possible.
