A thing I have periodically been pointing out for like 20 years now that nobody else seems to know is that you can write CSS that controls how your web page will look when it is printed out. You can even set up completely separate stylesheets for printing, and the browser will be smart enough to automatically use them when the user hits "print"

Yep. I've used this before.
I really should add print CSS to my project release pages, though.
"Who Killed Asmodean?" was by far the most commonly asked question Robert Jordan received. He said the answer should be "intuitively obvious to the casual observer." So, who did you think it was at first?

Now I can emulate USB devices from the laptop without any external hardware, including via Raw Gadget or even Facedancer ๐
The overall process included fiddling with Linux kernel drivers, xHCI, DWC3, ACPI, BIOS/UEFI, Boot Guard, TPM, NVRAM, PCH, PMC, PSF, IOSF, and P2SB, and making a custom USB cable ๐ฑ

PiracyShield ci ricasca: decine di siti leciti bloccati dietro un IP di Cloudflare. Danni collaterali o illecito?
Sabato 24 febbraio 2024 la piattaforma PiracyShield ha ordinato ai provider italiani di escludere un IP dalla navigazione, una delle tantissime segnalazioni. Ma si trattava di un IP di Cloudflare: in un colpo "bannati" decine di siti leciti.Gianfranco Giardina (DDay.it)

ร notizia di un paio di giorni fa che insieme agli ip di alcuni siti di streaming video siano stati indiscriminatamente bloccati in toto gli ip di 2 CDN (cloud4c.com e parte di zenlayer), rendendo impossibile anche a chi avesse servizi leciti li sopra di essere raggiunti dall'Italia, l'organo che si occupa della faccenda (agcom) รจ un organo privato che si erge a "controllore", "multatore" e "bloccatore".

Google announced that starting in June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin #uBO will be disabled in Chrome 127 and later with the rollout of Manifest V3 (#Mv3).
The new #Chrome manifest will prevent using custom filters and stops on demand updates of blocklist. Only #Google authorized updates to browser extension will be allowed in the future, which mean an automatic win for Google in their battle to stop YouTube #AdBlockers .
#ManifestV3 is deceitful and threatening to your privacy, and now is a good time to switch to #Firefox (@mozilla) and/or #TorBrowser (@torproject) if you haven't done so already!

EDIT for clarification: MV3 in Chrome will still allow some ad blocking extensions, but will severely limit their blocking ability and even restricts pre-set filters to 50 MAX.
Chrome Users Beware: Manifest V3 is Deceitful and Threatening
Like FLoC and Privacy Sandbox before it, Google Chromeโs Manifest V3 is another example of the inherent conflict of interest that comes from Google controlling both the dominant web browser and one of the largest internet advertising networks.Electronic Frontier Foundation

When I was a smartass computer nerd in the 80s and 90s, an eternal theme was friends and family sheepishly asking me for tech support help, and me slowly, patiently explaining to them that computers aren't scary, they're actually predictable, they won't explode or erase your data (unless you really make an effort), and they operate by simple (if somewhat arcane) rules. Edit > Cut, then click, then Edit > Paste. Save As. Use tabs, not spaces. Stuff like that. Maybe not easy, but simple, or at least consistent and learnable.
But that's not true anymore.
User interfaces lag. Text lies. Buttons don't click. Buttons don't even look like buttons! Panels pop up and obscure your workspace and you can't move or remove them -- a tiny floating x and a few horizontal lines is all you get. Mobile and web apps lose your draft text, refresh at whim, silently swallow errors, mysteriously move shit around when you're not looking, hide menus, bury options, don't respect or don't remember your chosen settings. Doing the same thing gives different results. The carefully researched PARC principles of human-computer interaction -- feedback, discoverabilty, affordances, consistency, personalization -- all that fundamental Don Norman shit -- have been completely discarded.
My tech support calls now are about me sadly explaining there's nothing I can do. Computers suck now. They run on superstition, not science. It's a real tragedy for humanity and I have no idea how to fix it.

My million dollar idea I want someone to steal and do, so I can be a customer.
"Dumb Stuff" we sell electronic appliances that aren't Internet connected. That's all.
That's it. That's the pitch. I would buy the <bleep> out of this company if their electronic gadgets were even half way decent, and repairable.
Electronic, no wifi, regular screws to open it up. That's it. Do those three things, and you can be sold by this store.
I will pay this business to curate and find these devices for me.
