DAZN, SKY & Serie A Prepare Action Against IPTV Pirates Already Fined By the State
Under new legislation passed in 2023, consumers of illegal IPTV services in Italy were warned that if police obtained their details, a fine would likely be issued by the state. This year a reported 2,500 people have already been fined but even for those who pay up, more trouble could be just around the corner. DAZN, SKY and Serie A say they have obtained the identities of those fined by the police, who they intend to pursue for "thousands of euros" each in civil damages.

The Practicality Of Solar Powered Meshtastic Nodes
cross-posted from: ibbit.at/post/56217
A Meshtastic node has been one of the toys of the moment over the last year, and since they are popular with radio amateurs there’s a chance you’ll already live within range of at least one. They can typically run from a lithium-ion or li-po battery, so it’s probable that like us you’ve toyed with the idea of running one from a solar panel. It’s something we have in common with [saveitforparts], whose experiments with a range of different solar panels .
He has three different models: one based around a commercial solar charger, another using an off-the-shelf panel, and a final one using the panel from a solar garden light. As expected the garden light panel can’t keep an ESP32 with a radio going all day, but the other two manage even in the relatively northern climes of Alaska.
As a final stunt he puts one of the nodes out on a rocky piece of the southern Alaskan coastline, for any passing hacker to find. It’s fairly obviously in a remote place, but it seems passing cruise ships will be within its range. We just know someone will take up his challenge and find it.

‘Push back – or they’ll eat you alive’: James Cromwell on life as Hollywood’s biggest troublemaker
I literally had no idea about his activism. He's quite the fascinating character when off-screen.
Cromwell certainly looks and sounds the part of an old lefty who might have a Che Guevara poster in the attic and consider Bernie Sanders to be too soft on capitalism. When the Guardian visits his home – a log cabin in the farming town of Warwick, upstate New York, where he lives with his third wife, the actor Anna Stuart – he rises from a chair at the hearth with a warm greeting and outstretched hand (it is a big hand that would have required a generous dollop of glue).Cromwell stands at 6ft 7in tall like a great weathered oak. “Probably 10 years ago, I heard somebody smart say we’re already a fascist state,” he says. “We have turnkey fascism. The key is in the lock. All they have to do is the one thing to turn it and open Pandora’s box. Out will come every exception, every loophole that the Congress has written so assiduously into their legislation.”
Cromwell has seen this movie before. His father John Cromwell, a renowned Hollywood director and actor, was blacklisted during the McCarthy era of anti-communist witch-hunts merely for making comments at a party praising aspects of the Russian theatre system for nurturing young talent and contrasting it with the “used up” culture of Hollywood.

How to Use a Grammar Checker for Beginners: Tips to Polish Your Writing?
Writing well is a valuable skill whether you’re a student, professional, or content creator. Clear, error-free writing builds credibility and helps your message shine. However, spotting every mistake on your own can be difficult. This is where digital tools like grammar checkers, plagiarism checkers, and AI content detectors become essential. If you are just getting started, this guide will walk you through how to use these tools effectively to polish your writing.
Why Use a Grammar Checker?
Grammar checkers are designed to detect common writing issues such as spelling mistakes, punctuation errors, subject-verb disagreements, and improper sentence structures. For beginners, they serve as a user-friendly solution to improve writing quality without needing advanced grammar knowledge.
Benefits include:
• Saving time on proofreading
• Catching unnoticed errors
• Improving sentence clarity
• Offering learning opportunities with explanations of mistakes
How to Use a Grammar Checker
1. Choose a Tool – Popular options include Grammarly, ProWritingAid, and Quillbot. Many offer free versions with basic features.
2. Paste or Upload Your Text – Most tools let you copy-paste text or upload a document directly.
3. Review Suggestions – Pay attention to each correction offered. A good practice is to understand why the correction is suggested rather than just accepting it blindly.
4. Apply or Ignore – Not every suggestion fits your writing style. Use judgment to accept corrections that improve clarity without changing the meaning.
5. Recheck Your Work – After edits, run the text again to ensure it is polished.
Adding a Plagiarism Checker
While grammar checkers fix errors, plagiarism checkers ensure originality. Beginners often unintentionally copy text by paraphrasing too closely or forgetting citations.
How to use a plagiarism checker:
• Paste your text into a reliable tool like Turnitin, Grammarly’s plagiarism checker, or Quetext.
• Review the report, which highlights matched content sources.
• Rephrase flagged sections or add proper citations to make your work original.
Using a plagiarism checker not only prevents academic or professional issues but also boosts your credibility as a writer.
Free AI Content Detector: Ensuring Authenticity
With the rise of AI-generated text, many institutions and platforms now require proof that content is authentically human-written. Free AI content detectors help by analyzing whether your text resembles machine-generated language.
Steps for beginners:
• Copy and paste your work into a detector tool such as GPTZero, Originality.ai, or Scribbr’s AI detector.
• Check the percentage score—it will show how “human-like” your writing appears.
• If your score suggests high AI involvement, review areas that sound generic or overly formal. Rewrite them in your voice for more authenticity.
Best Practices for Beginners
• Use these tools as a guide, not a crutch. Don’t rely on them to do all the thinking for you.
• Combine grammar checkers, plagiarism checkers, and content detectors for a complete polish.
• Always reread your work manually; no tool is 100% perfect.
• Learn from the corrections. Over time, you’ll notice fewer mistakes in your drafts.
Final Thoughts
For beginners, writing may seem overwhelming, but tools like grammar checkers, plagiarism checkers, and AI content detectors simplify the process. They ensure your writing is not only error-free but also original and human-authentic. By using these tools wisely, you can grow into a confident writer with polished, professional content.

Imagine trusting a LLM to check if the text another LLM wrote resemble too much LLM writing.
Get the fuck out of here with your trash.
If you actually think you need help with writing the best things you can do is
1. read more and take note of how professional and famous writers use language and grammar to convey what they want to say
2. Write more things, then let some time pass, read why you wrote then fix any things you're not happy with then repeat until satisfied, the more you do it the less you'll need to fix mistakes and the better you'll be at writing
