FCC just banned all foreign made consumer grade routers from receiving FCC certification. That’s all routers.

If you’re in the market get it today. Unclear if it bans new models from getting certified or new imports.

So now @macadminspodcast needs to have @marcoarment as a guest and do a live TL;DR “this is how you Macadmin…”

@marcoarment @atpfm Be mindful of those power cutover thingies. Often with these primary/secondary/takeover mechanisms, when an event happens *something* in the takeup scenario goes awry. Maybe the switching thingy wasn’t as fast as it should be. Maybe some downstream devices don’t survive the hiccup. Stuff like that.

Consider also making different shelves use different sides as primary vs secondary.

There can (still) be only one: "Highlander" turns 40. Sure, it’s cheesy in many respects, but its central mythology still resonates even decades later. And that soundtrack by Queen is perfection. https://arstechnica.com/culture/2026/03/there-can-still-be-only-one-highlander-is-40/

@mipstian Hello, I recently launched the Wipr app 🎵for the first time in forever🎵 and was surprised it needed a block list update. A Help notification thingy also advised not quitting the app from the switcher.

After refreshing, some niggling ads leaking through went away.

This makes me rethink how I interact with Wipr. Should I be in the habit of launching it from time to time? (Or, perhaps, have a shortcut automation to launch it after any restart?)

Was this deduction aided by other fesses?
