I think it's too late for this to be useful. Number spoofing is ultra-common these days and most of the unwanted calls I receive are from spoofed numbers that appear to come from local areas.

If we start blocking the spoofed numbers then eventually we'll just be blocking every possible combination of digits that can exist.

What we really need first is better detection and blocking of calls using spoofed numbers.

If answering the email requires writing a book to anticipate all the possible questions or options or complications that might come up, then no it's not disrespectful to call someone instead.

Is there some law of physics saying you can't target and destroy a plane from above?

You made the general comment that hypersonics don't make sense "against airborn targets", so that's whst I was asking about...not bombers specifically. Fighters are airborn targets also, and those are what I was immediately thinking about when you said hypersonics make no sense against airborn targets.

Using an Automation APP like Tasker to turn off a Home Assistant-controlled smart plug when the battery exceeds a reprogramming threshold, might be a more reliable method & works for any device.

This is the method I have been using for years and it works great. I use Home Assistant to manage the automation, the Home Assistant client app for Android (you could use tasker for this) to collect the device telemetry to send to Home Assistant (how it knows when the battery hits 85% or drops below 70%).

I do want to point out there is one small downside to this method: your device charger (and I'm using an Anker wireless phone charging stand as my charger) only works for one device. Example, say my personal phone is charged up to 85%, so I take it off the charger, but my work-issued phone needs to be charged, but when I put my work phone on the charger nothing happens and it doesn't charge because the charger is connected to a smart plug that's turned off because my personal phone is charged up.

Hypersonics don’t make any sense against an airborne target.

Why not? Aren't all modern active counter measures dependent on reaction time? And isn't there simply a lot less reaction time against a hypersonic inbound?

As much as I would LOVE to see them waste their money on this, we know they are all talk and no action and won't actually contribute anything.

Just because the boss can't spy on their employees

Even this is no longer a valid justification. Activity monitoring software installed on companay provided computing devices used by remote employees has been around for a while and is gaining in popularity. They don't even need physical presence to spy on employees.

So, its even more confusing why corporations are so against the idea of remote work.

They don't need to "enter the war" because they are already successfully planning, funding, and supporting it from behind the scenes.

I don't know anything about how truthsocial works.

Is "retruthed" the same thing as "retweeting" (or whatever that's called now on xitter), or is it closer to "liking" something?

Regardless, trump now thinks he's found a loophole in the gag oder by letting other people post it and then boosting it somehow?

The article was super confusing to me.

I have always thought of it as how graffiti taggers work. They are always tagging over each other's work. The last one to paint gets the most exposure but you can still see remnants of more recent taggers the lay under the topmost. Eventually the oldest stuff just gets covered completely. They don't necessarily pick their canvas because there is other work they try to cover up, they pick their canvas for the location and exposure.

 

When watching regular youtube vids using a web browser, you control the volume level of the video using the volume control in the bottom left of the video.

When watching youtube shorts, there's a speaker button that mutes or unmutes the video, but there seems to be no way to set the volume level. Am I missing something or does youtube just not include that feature for shorts?

 

It's easy enough to look at https://[instance]/instances and see which instances a particular instance has blocked.

But in the cases where an instance hasn't completely blocked another instance but has blocked specific communities on other instances...where can I see/find that?

So far, I've found that reading and parsing the modlog will reveal that if you are willing to search for it manually, but is that the only way?
