A very nice explainer why "if you're so worried about quantum computers, why haven't they factored 21 yet?" isn't a very convincing argument. Look at the labels of the graph, and how extremely close the various lines are for factoring 21 and 2048 bit numbers. Polynomial scaling remains polynomial, unfortunately, and by the time you can factor 21 you're almost ready to break RSA.

Factoring is not a good benchmark to track Q-day

10G USB-C Ethernet adapters are now a thing... just ordered one ($87 shipped to US), probably will run out of first batch quickly: https://www.wisdpi.com/products/usb-c-to-10gb-ethernet-adapter

Worth taking the minute to process this, but time well spent.
Krita’s Maintainer is awesome!
my pixel 4a is starting to act a little weird and I really don't want it to die it's like the best phone ever
@gary_bbgames Amazing! We need more things like this.

My dad is partially sighted with poor motor control. He likes audiobooks but every player I tried had tiny buttons and too many screens.

I’ve now made this one. Two screens, big controls, high contrast.

When I want to send him a new book, I just text him a link — he taps it and the book appears in his library.

It always comes back to the last book he was playing, ready to play again.

The settings are configurable via a link too.

This is very much made for my exact specific needs with him, but it’s open source and free if it helps anyone else.
