I downloaded a scientific paper of great interest to me. It is of typical length, about 15 pages in the PDF. I opened it in Acrobat, and got this message highlighted at the top of the page next to an AI sparkle icon: "This appears to be a long document. Save time by reading a summary." I cannot put into words how much this enrages me. First, this is not a long document. Have you met documents? Second, and more important, telling someone to not read a thing they want to read??! Fuck you, Adobe.
Take-Two confirms Kerbal Space Program 2 is safe despite Seattle layoffs

'The [Private Division] label continues to make updates to Kerbal Space Program 2.'

If you’re considering an EV, or even a PHEV, and plan to charge at home, don’t bother looking at maps of chargers in your immediate vicinity. You’ll almost never use them. Instead, look at a ring about 100-300 miles away. That will more clearly illuminate your future choices for road trips. Feels like this need a term. The Donut Distance? Trip Torus. Ring of Range?

Did you know there are 7 main types of plastic? Some (1,2,4) are recyclable ♻️ None of biodegradable :(

@BobLefridge @aligorith more galling than Boeing's fall from grace, is the media’s single-mindedness on sticking it to them for ANY story that involves one of their aircraft with zero real research.

If they were doing their job, they'd have found the identity of the aircraft involved and disclosed its age. Because if it's more than a year old, the problem is FAR more likely to be Delta.

Yes Boeing have problems, but that doesn't make sloppy journalism OK.

Oh, hai tiny floppy disk organizer but for micro SD cards.

Smol Floppy Disk Organizer for Micro SD Cards

Back when floppies were new we kept them safe in somewhat terrible plastic bins.Now that micro SD cards can hold thousands of times more data they're what we use and what we lose! Because, smol.So, here's a little throwback to the floppy organizer but sized for micro SD cards. I used double-sided tape to stick mine to the top of my PC monitor because I'd lose it on my messy desk.Note: does not include micro CD cards
