When tech hardware becomes paperweights
Now I have this blood pressure monitor device that doesn't work without a logged in app and is a paperweight. I'm lucky I never invested into their ecosystem of health products. Lesson is no matter how popular a brand is, there is no guarantee they will be around. I've lost all my health data and there is no way to get it back.

Not a fan of the peekaboo apps that appear off screen on iPadOS after you switch away from them. They even show motion effects like video in the apps and content updating off screen.
Russian air travelers faced disruptions over the past three days due to the threat from Ukrainian drones, resulting in 485 flight cancellations and 1,900 delays. Costing the airlines $254 million.
Yet to my knowledge no attacks on any civilian aircraft, no civilian deaths or injuries.
Ukraine may be onto something here
Until Putin orders a false flag attack on Russian civilians, of course
爬蟲盜資料重判/七法當庭坦承法源資料完整才去爬 「法學版Google」遭重判揭密
知名法學資料庫業者法源資訊公司,指控有「法學版Google」之稱的七法公司透過爬蟲程式,抓取法源資料庫中的數十萬筆法規沿革及附件後,供檢索查詢方式營利,被告當庭坦承法源「法規沿革」資料內容豐富完整才會去爬取,新北地院痛批業者「昧著良心與事實」,明明公司有被起訴,負責人卻發公告稱公司「沒有被起訴」來誤導消費者,日前依違反著作權法,分別重判七法創辦人郭榮彥與謝復雅4年及2年有期徒刑,且須與七法連帶給付法源1億0545萬餘元,引起各界矚目。

爬蟲盜資料重判/七法當庭坦承法源資料完整才去爬 「法學版Google」遭重判揭密 - 鏡週刊 Mirror Media

根據判決書指出,該起官司最大爭點在於「法規沿革資料」,因為法官認為法源耗費大量心力、時間與金錢找人逐筆整理編輯的「法規沿革資料」屬於《著作權法》所保護的「語文編輯著作」。
判決書直指,法源對法規制定、修正發布日期、發文字號、沿革序號等12點特色均有其獨創性的編排方式。對於政府「公文」或「編輯物」,必須進一步審閱法規條文、主管機關嗣後之施行命令或其他與法令異動有關之內容,整理出其整部法令或不同條文之脈動,尤其涉及法令之施行、替代、廢止、合併、移轉管轄…等特殊情事。此均有賴精準之文句,詳述其變動狀況,更顯示其必須具備專業法律知識之高度「原創性」。
其中更有很多資料幾乎在全國法規資料庫與司法院法規查詢系統中都無法查詢到,法源為了建立資料庫,不惜砸大錢、找人從舊書攤買書比對文件核實、一字一句輸入並印出校對,長年投入龐大心血才能在司法圈累積信譽,七法利用多隻爬蟲程式每天爬走法源資料,已明顯侵害其著作權

President Donald Trump said he’d ship more weapons to Ukraine.
Trump didn’t specify what the US would provide except to say the armaments would be “defense weapons primarily.”
The image depicts a hand holding a spray bottle with a black trigger, spraying a green mist towards the base of a white table leg. The spray is directed at the area where the table meets the floor. A light-colored dog is lying on the floor, partially obscured by the spray, with its head down and one paw raised, possibly reacting to the spray. The background is a simple indoor setting with a light blue wall and a white tiled floor. The spray bottle is transparent with a blue liquid inside, and the mist is illustrated as a green cloud.

I looked into this, too. It is a lot to take in. It almost feels like I have to rewrite me entire site/processes to support it. So, I just post to my site, then cross post to Mastodon. See these posts as examples:

I know it's not the same, but it's the closest that I can come to it for now.
How affordable housing in National City became a cash machine for San Diego County labor unions

It's pretty straightforward using a combination of knowing where to look and Google streetview.

The Freedom Flotilla is setting sail again: Handala will sail to break the blockade—for the children of Gaza (Freedom Flotilla , 2025-07-07)

>> On July 13, 2025 the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) will launch #Handala — a civilian boat setting out to challenge Israel’s illegal, deadly blockade of Gaza. The vessel will carry life-saving humanitarian aid and a message of solidarity from people around the world refusing to stay silent as Gaza is starved, bombed, and buried under rubble.
>> … In 2023 and 2024, Handala sailed to ports across northern Europe and the UK, breaking through the media blockade, engaging the public, and building solidarity through press events, art installations, and political education in every port it visited…
