I wanted to take this opportunity to share this recent law that passed within the State of Maryland USA that will likely irritate many a technology business owner in this ever evolving world of more and more tech. IANAL so gauge your own im

Quite the mix of comments in 2025 from something that has existed and been foundationally critical in many unseen systems. I designed and built my first POE system in 2004, at my own house as a dogfooding POC, and that system stills works t

I would encourage every single person reading this to have your water tested for PFAs. Several years ago now an executive friend at WLGore, yes the very place that created it, gave me some information in passing. It was the kind of informat

The planet's rising temperatures will be the least of some regions' concerns as the knock-on effects from the redistributed water will be much, much deeper than current awareness. The mass of ice on the earth's poles has also

Fortuitous timing on your b-1 reference. There was at least one lancer airborne this morning EST time headed North out of Texas. Data did not reflect a refuel supply nearby yet the lancer was broadcasting its location.
