Gary from OPA Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 After moving to ban TikTok in the US, the federal government could target the China-based DJI next. A report from The New York Times highlights a bill advanced by the House of Energy and Commerce Committee last month that could ground DJI’s fleet of drones across the country. If passed, the Countering CCP Drones Act would add DJI drones to the FCC’s list of equipment covered by the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019. This bars communications equipment or services that “pose a national security risk” from running on US networks. It also prevents companies from using federal funding to purchase banned equipment. Chinese companies such as Huawei and ZTE are already included on the FCC’s list. https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/26/24141369/dji-ban-china-countering-ccp-drones-act Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well, if you have any of the subbed ink in reserve and cancel your subscription, all of that unused ink becomes invalid. Never let your printer have access to the Internet, unless your really neeeeeed that functionality. I have my printers on a VLAN, and they are blocked at the firewall.

The language is named "Pennsylvanian Dutch", but the word "Dutch" is not used in today's sense (from the Netherlands) but probably coined from how they name it, "Pennsilfaanisch Deutsch". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary from OPA Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 You can now play games on LinkedIn... They are trying hard to make it a social site! Quote Games have brought people together for centuries, and LinkedIn is joining in on the fun. LinkedIn News is introducing three games — Pinpoint, Queens and Crossclimb — that aim to spark conversations and friendly competition among professionals around the world. Word games in particular have only grown in popularity since the first “word-cross” puzzle was introduced 111 years ago, with a projected annual growth rate of 8.61%. https://www.linkedin.com/news/story/linkedin-news-introduces-games-6715874/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrhodes Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) @Tursi could do something similar: Clipboard credits. You get 10 a day. Everytime you paste from clipboard or save to the CLIP device, you use a credit. Attempting to use the clipboard functions when out of credits throws a error. Buy more credits for $ .50 each 😉 Edited May 1 by jrhodes 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary from OPA Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 The story of the man who almost accidentally spoiled the US Army plan to eliminate Osama Bin Laden with a tweet, 13 years ago #Today. With a couple of software projects on the go, Sohaib Athar was making the most of the late-night calm to get some work done. As his wife and son slept, he heard the whir and chop of rotor blades above the two-story house where they lived. Strange, he thought, for an aircraft to be flying so low over a residential area at this hour. He checked the time: it was well past midnight. Abbottabad, a former colonial garrison town nestled in the green hills of northern Pakistan, is a small city known for its trees, parks and the country’s top military academy. Athar and his family moved there in 2009 to get away from the heat, grime and occasional terrorist attacks in Lahore, a traffic-clogged metropolis on the plains of Punjab. And he didn’t know it then, but with that one sentence, he had become the first person to report on a blockbuster news story that would grip the world.
