The Angle of Repose
My dad was a mechanical engineer who retired early due to blindness. In his retirement he translated technical documents from German to English with the help of my mom, a tape recorder and a speech card in his XT computer. While translating a patent application for John Deere Co, he saw the claim of using the Angle of Repose to measure properties on MOVING FARM EQUIPMENT. He had to tell his Deere contact how that wouldn't work due to vibration effecting how a material piles on any surface. They abandoned that US patent claim.
Thats how and why I learned the name of this phenomenon.

That's cool.

Bottled a batch of banana apple cider today. Good taste and color, needed to be back sweetened (sweetener added after fermentation), 14.5% ABV
Jonathan CorbetToday I got an email from a local farm saying that they will not be doing a community supported agriculture (CSA) program this year because they don't think there will be enough water to grow food.
Need I say this is not a good sign?

It was wonderful to meet so many great folks at @bsidessf this weekend.
One of our favorites was someone who hacked her pair of Lockpick earrings for people without pierced ears.

BrianKrebsWhoa, that escalated quickly. This just got sent out by the press folks at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The FCC says it has decided that all foreign-made consumer-grade Internet routers are henceforth prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported for use or sale in the United States.
"Update Follows Determination by Executive Branch Agencies that Consumer-Grade Routers Produced in Foreign Countries Threaten National Security
WASHINGTON, March 23, 2026—Today, the Federal Communications Commission updated its Covered List to include all consumer-grade routers produced in foreign countries. Routers are the boxes in every home that connect computers, phones, and smart devices to the internet. This followed a determination by a White House-convened Executive Branch interagency body with appropriate national security expertise that such routers “pose unacceptable risks to the national security of the United States or the safety and security of United States persons.”
"The Executive Branch determination noted that foreign-produced routers (1) introduce “a supply chain vulnerability that could disrupt the U.S. economy, critical infrastructure, and national defense” and (2) pose “a severe cybersecurity risk that could be leveraged to immediately and severely disrupt U.S. critical infrastructure and directly harm U.S. persons.”
"This action does not affect any previously-purchased consumer-grade routers. Consumers can continue to use any router they have already lawfully purchased or acquired."
"Producers of consumer-grade routers that receive Conditional Approval from DoW or DHS can continue to receive FCC equipment authorizations. Interested applicants are encouraged to submit applications to [email protected]."
Not sure how many consumer-grade routers will be left for sale if it really is a ban on approvals for any foreign-made consumer routers like they said, and not just a bunch of already restricted Chinese makers like Huawei and ZTE.
