Well that's intriguing... it looks like 'whitehouse.gov' is currently being hosted by Automattic, has no MX, and has different DNS for the www subdomain.
It feels weird that they're not using official government infrastructure(??) and smells a bit like a hasty switchover.
I imagine some poor sod will be getting it in the ear for "emails not working".

I forgot their name, so I googled it.
The AI was wrong.
The quoted result is correct.
I suppose routers can indeed technically be used to do this, but it's not correct given the context of what I was asking about.

Infinite collisions would "just" lock up the medium with garbage, and may die out over time(??) before being immediately restarted by the next preamble.
Does the term "broadcast storm" cover this too?
=> More informations about this toot | View the thread
See also "collision domain".
My understanding of the term "broadcast storm" involves retransmission of an entire frame, which requires that frame to be held somewhere - for example within a switch that uses store-and-forward. 🤔
I'd wager that even a switch with cut-through switching would be able to fall back on store-and-forward for situations when a port is already busy.

Argh... TracketPacer's attempt to get a hub to produce a broadcast storm by putting a loop between two ports has thoroughly nerd sniped me, and I don't have a hub to test it out (anymore).
... hubs can't produce a "broadcast storm", but they can produce a single / infinite collisions, right?
In her case, the specific hub model had a feature to partition the looped ports due to "excessive collisions or jabber conditions".
But even a dumb hub without that wouldn't cause a broadcast storm(?)

"October 9th 2024 [...] We will now begin disabling installed extensions still using Manifest V2 in Chrome stable. This change will be slowly rolled out over the following weeks."
Is 13 weeks within this range? Impossible to say...

... on second thoughts, was that on my laptop? Is my desktop somehow unaffected still? (even though I just checked for updates)

I'm confused... I'm sure that I had a notification from uBlock Origin the other day, telling me it wouldn't work any more... but, it's still working.
Did the Chrome team just nope out of the breaking change?
Does uBlock Origin now support the new whatever - the one that was supposed to break ad blockers entirely?
I might have seen ads for a day(?)

Wait, I'm a long-time OnePlus user, and I just got a £50 voucher off the 13 series, which was launched today.
Why are these companies "giving away money"? ... is this possibly a ploy to reduce profit margin slightly while increasing sales?

We sat on a call with RustDesk open, and did it together...
We picked the "give me $50" option to see what would happen and possibly get a little teeny bit more info beyond "you get $50", only to find that BAM, no option whatsoever to change your mind...
Oh, and btw, you need to sign up for Payoneer(?!) and someone will get in contact in ~3 weeks, and payment might be made in 10-18 days.
The whole thing just feels so icky - compounded by the unexpected and out-of-character benevolent nature.

My dad got the email shown below, and it feels so weird and icky... like phishing but it seems to be legit... apparently he'll get a new battery for free(?!)
Presumably he'll also need to fully backup his phone or risk losing everything?
Has anyone else got this email, and can you comment? #pixel4a

Two takeaway things from today.
First, I think I'm slowly sort of starting to understand Quaternions. Maybe. 🤯
Second, I started looking at getting the magnetometer to give useful data, and calibration (or rather removing the offset) is a big part of it... I plotted one point for every sensor reading, and wow - I didn't expect it to look so good... it's a really good-looking sphere! "Calibration" basically involves putting the center of that sphere at the origin, and I should be good to go(?!)

Fly Lego heli, fly!
There is quite a bit of drift on the gyros (a known / common issue), and the accelerometer seems to often have a vector length of ~10G (not just 9.806G)...
