Fukushima wastewater released into the ocean, China bans all Japanese seafood
They still can't come up with anything other than "it's not safe!" And "you're so irresponsible"?
Previous articles on this say the water is less contaminated than that which comes out of some of China's plants.
This article: IAEA says 10,000 becquerels per liter is the safe limit. Japan's output will be 63 per liter.

wasn't the big deal with the Russians that it was at the level of the entire organization rather than done by limited specific individuals?

Mike Johnson's porn "monitoring" remarks spark national security concerns
This dude is super creepy and I hate he's in congress, much less the speaker, but does anyone feel like the other headline "monitors each others porn activities" purposely makes it seem like they're each reviewing the porn they each do look at and making sure isn't toooo skeevy? Like it's weird enough, do you have to push it?
Made me picture them high fiving each other the next day, "yeah buddy! I saw that one, too. Nice."

Authors ‘excluded from Hugo awards over China concerns’
Maybe don't hold it in China again if they're so worried about this sort of thing? They didn't think that through did they? You think they might with, you know, science fiction often commenting on real life things through speculative analogues. They cowardly caved to just the idea of repercussions. Nothing in the article says the committee was actually under pressure from anyone to do what they did. Weak!

Florida’s ‘Stop WOKE Act’ commits a ‘First Amendment sin,’ appeals court says in ruling that blocks part of the bill
“We disagree with the Court’s opinion that employers can require employees to be taught — as a condition of employment — that one race is morally superior to another race. The First Amendment protects no such thing, and the State of Florida should have every right to protect Floridians from racially hostile workplaces. We are reviewing all options on appeal going forward.”
I have an extremely low opinion of intelligence of the "anti-woke" warriors but, like, do people really think that's what's happening? They're honestly thinking DEI stuff is teaching that one race is "morally superior" to another? That's just a wild fucking line to throw in there.

xkcd #2908: Moon Armor Index
Not bad, Jupiter. Considering you have 120x the surface area of earth, that's a lot of moons.

A college is removing its vending machines after a student discovered they were using facial recognition technology
How about some consent and payment for my info? Swingy peephole cover thing over the camera. Offer a discount if the machine can take a picture of you. Oh that's right, it's only worth something when you amass a ton of the data. 0.004 cents off isn't that appealing is it?

Thoughts on garmin watches?
Here is a somewhat recent article from a guy who reviews these things incredibly in depth. He tests 6 Garmins and a Coros here simultaneously and compares their accuracy. DC rainmaker gps comparison test
It seems the cheaper Garmins aren't quite as good in the more difficult city area but the stuff out in the open stuff looks pretty comparable to the more expensive ones. Much of it seems to be multiband vs. not.
If you're into a specific watch he probably has a review on it. Very in depth and I believe gps accuracy is something usually covered.

Just criticises? Not "slams", "destroys", or eviscerates? Weak. No rage click from me.

Can you run games like this in a virtual machine? Would that eliminate kernel level general invasiveness concerns because it's a...virtual kernel I guess? Does that virtualization require too much overhead to run demanding games?

Chinese intelligence hacked U.S government emails in ‘significant’ breach

unless everyone is blatantly lying, it doesn't seem like it:
“This was a very advanced technique used by the threat actor against a limited number of high value targets. Each time the technique was used, it increased the chances of the threat actor getting caught,” said Google Cloud’s Mandiant senior vice president and chief technical officer Charles Carmakal. “Kudos to Microsoft for leaning in, figuring this out, remediating, collaborating with partners and being transparent.”
“Last month, U.S. government safeguards identified an intrusion in Microsoft’s cloud security, which affected unclassified systems. Officials immediately contacted Microsoft to find the source and vulnerability in their cloud service,” National Security Council spokesperson Adam Hodge said in a statement to The Wall Street Journal. “We continue to hold the procurement providers of the U.S. government to a high security threshold.”>

USB inventor explains why the connector was not designed to be reversible
Reply in thread
Yeah, Universal Spower Bus. Sounds right. I was reading the "power" part emphasized in the comment you replied to. Prior to mass adoption by phone mfrs, USB wasn't powering all that much. You'd usually have 5v wall wart and cable ending in a barrel connector. Hate those things.
