Looks like reverse osmosis or carbon filters -- found this from Michigan State University: "To know if a filter is NSF certified for the removal of PFOA and PFOS look for NSF P473 or NSF Certified to Standard P473 on the product, packa

They're kind of hurting their own product adoption here: Apple TV doesn't support the use of "gated" wifi connections (and that's on top of ensuring fewer people use Macs for pentesting/security stuff). If I co

This absolutely happens. I assume crooked reviewers are a lot more savvy and coordinated now...back in the day, a competitor's employees panned our app using their own names!

Aldous Huxley swore by the Bates Method ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_Seeing ). I went through a period where I tried it and it did seem to help, but YMMV, not scientifically-proven, etc. etc. I will say tha

You can get around this, though via https://old.reddit.com and, in Preferences, disable thumbnails, image previews, and "allow subreddits to show me custom themes."

I think (mainstream) Reddit content is something completely different; more like big clumps of PR firms employed by corporations and lobbying groups bitbotting around with nation states, all fighting and agreeing with each other and trying

I once went to the ER and the FIRST bill I received was from a law firm/collection agency. They actually employed a law firm to do first-line billing (which they of course double-billed, sending the bill to the insurance company and th

It is amazing...then, if you ever get alllll the way down to their private insurance policies, you find that they are nothing like our generation's insurance policies...they actually pay for stuff and have low deductibles! I try not

Eh. I'm lucky enough to have done plenty busy worker bee AND plenty of nothing and I have to say neither is really very satisfying. Finding a passion project and tilting at windmills, though? Never been happier.

Young and middle-aged people need to vote. I've been in and out of hospitals for the last few years, months, days, hours with relatives, and guess what they don't ever worry about: medical bills. Like never. And guess what they wo

After my last oom-party, I now have it checkpointing every 1000 steps (way too often, I think, but there's plenty of disk), but I just really really want it to complete a full run. ;)

Yep. I call it the "AWS Chicken Pox Party." We got lucky this time, RDS, ELB, EC2 and Lightsail instances all in US-East-1 across multiple accounts and no issues (knock-on-wood and understand that we'll get it the next time).

An occasional outage is sometimes good for an app (depending, of course, on how mission-critical it is): 1. People don't realize how much they love and depend on you until you're gone. 2. Keeps you on your toes, it's easy to

You are correct. I will never understand why apps that profess allegiance to privacy upload entire contact lists. Sure, users will complain it’s harder. They’ll always complain, but you’re protecting them and their contacts who have NOT pr

If it’s a state actor, as has been alluded to, they’re not compromising the ISP, they are the ISP. But yeah, absolutely, great point - shitty ads are doable AND geo-targetable!

Nope. But given that the write-up talks about victims being victims merely for being in a geographical region makes me immediately think about wifi portals, and ISP/telecom-injection via DNS hijacking. We already know that ISPs routine

After thinking about this a little longer... Not only does the attacker have no one they care about hiding from, but also: the lack of encryption is a secondary attack. Sure, when Vizio did this, it was probably incompetence...but here...

No worries for the insurers -- you're legally required to get insurance for all sorts of things in the US. Vehicles, mortgages...even some landlords require that renters hold a renters' insurance policy.

Seniors should be careful about asset transfers — Medicaid has a five year lookback period and can claw back assets from family members.
