AkaSci 🛰️XKCD: Satellite Pollution
Title text: We're working to make sure the images are as up-to-date and accurate as possible, with a minimum number of sponsored galaxies.
In XKCD world, this is tech's solution to light pollution by LEO constellations and its effect on astronomy - 100-mile wide banners hanging off satellites with pictures of stars and galaxies, mostly inaccurate.
Problem solved!

Gary RosenzweigI was a Mac Pro user from 2008 to 2021. When the Mac Studio came out it was so obviously exactly what I and many others needed that I never even considered the new Mac Pro. It is so easy to expand storage with Thunderbolt and really not necessary to have PCIe slots anymore. Today was no surprise.
I find it ironic that Google and Bing ask web masters to provide a a sitemap.xml file.
This assumes either (1) that the web master hasn't properly linked all pages or (2) that their bot's algorithm is too inefficient to extract links, and they would rather some else would do their work for them.
I think its option (2).
I'm not going to use my own bot to build such a tree for a couple of million URLs. This would take several months, by which time several hundreds new URL will have been added.
Another iPadOS GUI fail: When it changes Focus, it presents a pop-up with an X button. That button doesn't close the pop-up, but rather it changes your Focus mode.
nixCraft 🐧my advice is still the same. get a cheaper (used) thinkpad (or brand of your choice) and install Linux or *BSD that doesn't have corporate backing or age/kyc verification nonsense added. always install an ad blocker, script blocker, and dns level filtering just in case for your own safety (also install those on your parents and friends family computers).
say no to microslop and their stupid apps. enough is enough.
Bing webmaster tools asks me to add a <H1> heading to all pages, as it otherwise can't figure what the title of a page is. Apparently Microsoft's AI is not very advanced!
I read some people play replace the CMOS battery roulette on their servers: Replace the battery with a live mother board. I chose the safe route: shut down the machine! Sure enough, I dropped the old battery as I was removing it. I had to retrieve it from below some hardware components. The machine is back in service.
