Da die (eurozentristischen) Karten im Kopf oft leicht verschroben sind, möchte ich an folgendes erinnern:

NYC liegt nicht auf demselben Breitengrad wie Hamburg, sondern (fast exakt) wie ... Rom!

Vancouver liegt übrigens deutlich südlicher (!) als Hannover.

Made my Day. 

Today in “a shitpost gave me perspective”:

The difference between one million and one billion is roughly one billion.

I heard stories of people who've fed crows, and been given gifts in return. It sounded charming, so I began doing that.

Then, one night, there was a rapping on my bedroom window. I stumbled up and opened.

A crow flew in and spoke: "They're coming for you. You must flee."

I only just made it out.

Und hier die richtige Headline:

"KAPITULATION: Union und SPD stimmen gegen Regulierung US-amerikanischer und chinesischer Netzwerke"

A friendly reminder to never trust manufacturers privacy protections.

I was recently attempting to get an external camera functioning, so I started polling various video devices sequentially to find out where it appeared and stumbled across a previously unknown (to me at least) camera device, right next to the regular camera that is not affected by the intentional privacy flap or "camera active" LED that comes built in.

I had always assumed this was just a light sensor and didn't think any further about it.

The bandwidth seems to drop dramatically when the other camera is activated by opening the privacy flap, causing more flickering.
This was visible IRL and wasn't just an artifact of recording it on my phone.
I deliberately put my finger over each camera one at a time to confirm the sources being projected.

A friend of mine suggested this may be related to Windows Hello functionality at a guess but still seems weird to not be affected by the privacy flap when its clearly capable of recording video.

dmidecode tells me this is a LENOVO Yoga 9 2-in-1 14ILL10 (P/N:83LC)

Command I used for anyone to replicate the finding. (I was on bog standard Kali, but I'm sure you'll figure out your device names if they change under other distros):
vlc v4l2:///dev/video0 -vv --v4l2-width=320 --v4l2-height=240 & vlc v4l2:///dev/video2 -vv --v4l2-width=320 --v4l2-height=240

Ich will euch ja nicht beunruhigen, aber offenbar verlieren wir aktuell die Fähigkeit, einen Teller Quark zu fotografieren.
