The latest trend on TikTok is hyping up the benefits of hydrogen water while attempting to sell you a battery-powered water bottle that produces it.

Prior to creating the first BBS, Christensen invented XMODEM
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMODEM
a 1977 file transfer protocol that made much of the later BBS world possible by breaking binary files into packets and ensuring that each packet was safely delivered over sometimes unstable and noisy analog telephone lines. It inspired other file transfer protocols that allowed ad-hoc online file sharing to flourish.
On Friday, Ward Christensen
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Christensen
co-inventor of the computer bulletin board system (BBS), died at age 78 in Rolling Meadows, Illinois. Christensen, along with Randy Suess, created the first BBS in Chicago in 1978, leading to an important cultural era of digital community-building that presaged much of our online world today.

"There's nothing special about Musk, Altman, or Zuckerberg. Accepting that requires you to also accept that the world itself is not one that rewards the remarkable, or the brilliant, or the truly incredible, but those who are able to take advantage of opportunities, which in turn leads to the horrible truth that those who often have the most opportunities are some of the most boring and privileged people alive."

This trick will only work if the PDF doesn't have any printing restrictions
- HowToGeek
Click the drop-down menu that lets you pick your printer, then select "Save as PDF". Click the "Save" button, and you'll be prompted to provide a name and location for your new PDF. Your new PDF will contain the same content as the original PDF, but won't be password-protected.
If you don't have a Save to PDF option for some reason, look for "Print to PDF" instead. You can use this trick in any PDF viewer on Windows 10 or Windows 11. Just select "Microsoft Print to PDF" as the printer
When you forget the Password to a PDF it can be sooooooooo annoying
Till you remember the "hack"
you can easily and conveniently remove the password from a PDF file by opening it and printing it to a new PDF or just saving it as a new PDF. Your system will create a duplicate copy of the PDF, and that duplicate copy won't have a password

Speaking on the BBC, Mason said: I do not think Israel has committed genocide, there is a war going on,
“lives have been lost, desperately sadly, as they have been in Ukraine, as they have been in every war.
“But there is a difference between war and genocide and to say every war is genocide is not the way we use that word.”
Fuckin SNP bending to public opinion here
Cathryn McGahey KC, for the UK government, said: “It’s the government’s view that this operation was authorised by President Putin.”
A senior Foreign Office (FCDO) official has given a statement to the inquiry spelling out that the British government has concluded the nerve agent attack was so sensitive that Putin himself must have given it the go-ahead.
