This is a crap article with crap reasons for not having a printer.

Also since you DO need a reliable printer, get a Brother inkjet. Works on Linux, allows 3rd party printer cartridges, seamless WiFi even for phones, just keeps on ticking.

Why There's Simply No Need For Home Printers Anymore - BGR

Home printers were once an indispensable part of a home office. That's no longer true, thanks to the decline in fax usage and an increase in electronic options.

NASA has a cool site where you can see where Artemis 2 is in real time based off real telemetry.

NASA: Artemis II

Artemis I will be the first in a series of increasingly complex missions to build a sustained human presence at the Moon for decades to come.

Oooh, the Orion capsule is almost halfway to the moon!

since that browsergate site about LinkedIn seems to be gaining traction I figure I should mention:

  • yes, LinkedIn does do what's being claimed (though, it's that it probes for specific extensions you're running, using features in chrome's API - it doesn't "search your computer")
  • it does seem to have been doing this since at least as far back as 2017, and there has been intermittent reporting on it over the years
  • I'm fairly confident the copy on the site was generated by (or at least went through) an LLM, so idk that this site is the best way to spread the issue around

edit: and as someone else noted in the replies, looking through the list of extensions of scans for... they're pretty much all "AI"/scraper/automation plugins. so, should LinkedIn be doing this, or even able to do this in Chrome? no! but also, it does seem like the stuff they're scanning for is all extensions that shouldn't exist to begin with tbh

edit 2: please see this follow-up post which proves this is just a shitty campaign by people who made an addon called "Teamfluence" that got blocked by LinkedIn
