"Digitally signed" in this headline refers to pasting an image into a PDF file, not an actual digital signature.

Edit: I missed the first image.

That looped wire looks really weird. I think wildbus8979 is correct. The looped wire should be cut, and both ends connected with a wire nut to the the "line/load" wire. I assume the other loose black wire is the other "line/load" wire, it is probably not a ground wire.

It's hard because it's not a perfect linear relationship between battery voltage and battery percentage. When the battery is 80% full, the voltage hardly changes at all as it drains. But it can change significantly with unrelated factors, like age and temperature. So they have to use the integral of current consumption to calculate the battery level. There are other tricks, too, like using temperature to check battery percentage (when the battery is charging, it heats up if it's nearly full), and some lithium ion batteries have a third wire for measuring the temperature.

The problem is that the infographic says "of all the mammals on Earth", which means individuals, not biomass. So the infographic is objectively false.

I would rather have my good friend bang my spouse while drunk, than drive drunk.

I don't get it either, and what order are you supposed to read it? Does the title come first, or at the end?

Device integrity is important, but in the sense that I don't want police to be able to get in if they take my phone while it's locked. The phone should not be trying to protect itself from me, the owner.

I'm not planning on running any banking apps, nor any other proprietary apps that need any sort of remote attestation. For sensitive data, nothing like "other people's social security numbers". Just my own data, which I would prefer remain private.

Seedvault uses Android's built-in backup infrastructure, so it won't back up things like Signal, or proprietary apps that resist being backed up. Only a rooted app (or rooted adb) can properly backup an Android device.

By "mess with apps' internal states", I want to see what data proprietary apps are storing about me, and selectively delete it. I want to replace their certificate authorities with my mitmproxy's certificate authority, and intercept their connections to understand them. I want to try modifying apps' code -- for example, call recording doesn't work on my current phone, because there's supposedly some XML file somewhere that marks all the US as "recording is illegal". GrapheneOS claims to fix this, but there may be future problems in that same style, which could be fixed by modifying just one file.

Piper is less than 2MB, and allows reconfiguring Logitech mouse buttons. It's available in Debian and Ubuntu package managers.

Screenshot:

I had to use Piper to get exotic features like having mouse 6, 7, 8 buttons function as mouse 6, 7, 8, rather than the default of alt-tab and ctrl-v.

They should be more neutral in a non-opinion piece. They quote a lot more people saying pro-genocide things than they quote people saying anti-genocide things. They quoted pro-genocide politicians and pro-genocide BBC staff. They did not give the musicians any opportunity to respond to the article.

Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza has inflamed tensions around the world, triggering pro-Palestinian protests in many capitals and on college campuses. Israel and some supporters have described the protests as antisemitic, while critics say Israel uses such descriptions to silence opponents

Let's consider the two positions mentioned in this paragraph:

1. Israel should stop committing genocide

2. Israel should continue committing genocide, and position 1 is antisemitic

The first position is described as "pro-Palestinian", as if these protesters support the Palestinian military (Hamas) and want them to win. This is incorrect. These people mostly just want the genocide to end.

The second position is a shitty opinion, but also contains an overt falsehood. It's an objective fact that it's false, and that fact should be reported in the story, but it isn't.

Last company where I faced external suppliers, I had to take a training where they said we couldn't accept any item worth more than like $20, except food or alcohol during a presentation. But we could accept such items on behalf of the company, and they would be raffled off to a random employee. One time a guy in purchasing got a giant brass horse head from a Chinese supplier. I guess nobody signed up for the raffle, so it became a permanent fixture in the cafeteria.

Sure, here are instructions for getting Linux Mint running: https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php

These instructions are for creating a USB flash drive that functions as both a live environment or an installer. If you don't want to install it yet, this allows you to try it out while booting just from the flash drive, without modifying your hard drive at all.

What a shitty article. It's so heavily biased in favor of genocide.
