Any Astronomy geek out here that knows an app that can alert you of upcoming Starry-nights? Some kind of a wheather app that looks at the weather patern in your location and confirm clear skies and low-windy situations coming up. Pls let me know what app you’re using.
Black-hole showing a black orb.
Can we now stop calling it Black-hole, and as I've suspected, start calling it what it truly is: Black-orb!
News: Webb telescope sees deep into black hole.
Well, year is off to a good start; just welded the drainage sieve I've been putting off like forever! Who knows, maybe 2026 will be the year I break my procrastination addiction. Awww, who I'm I kidding! 😂😂
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! Make the best of it! 🥂🍷
Illustration of hand holding a puzzle piece with Wikipedia's logo. Text reads: Year in review. What topics did people explore on Wikipedia in 2025?
No one could have predicted 25 years ago that Wikipedia would grow into the backbone of knowledge on the internet it is today, powering search engines, voice assistants, and generative AI tools. 🧵⬇️ (1/3)
First I want to thank you for the ReadAIoud feature. I use it a lot to catch up on the news while I work on other things. The problem now is, my work requires a lot of attention so sometimes I miss passages read in ReadAtoud. I often have to re—run ReadAIoud a few times to get the complete information. I suggest you add a Loop function to ReadAIoud whereby ReadAIoud will start over again with reading after reaching end of the article. Just like we have Loop in media players, please add loop function to ReadAloud. Thanks for listening.
Sent MS Edge feedback!

Talking of the slop coming out of WH. You have to be a special kind of depraved mind producing these horrible media output from the WH. How many IT/Artist souls have been permanently damaged working for this government?!
The WH depicting the Grinch spreading hate and stealing the Christmas spirit. Rotten to the core!

As long as they keep humans in the loop right?

Duh! Why are we still comparing Apple's tablets and Microsoft tablets? MS gave up on mobile devices long time ago. Their return to "Desktop Apps" signifies that from UWP apps. MS basically gave up on consumer products; can't let WinOS go. Their so-called tablets are glorified PCs for desktop apps.

The US has certainly spent the year opening doors to dramatically increase domestic energy production. Part of that has to give the signal that the US will embrace nuclear power in ways it hasn't for generations. This January, an executive order titled Unleashing Amer- ican Energy included an instruction for the government to eliminate rules and regulations related to power genera- tion. Its primary focus was to destroy environmental regulations limiting the extraction of oil, natural gas and coal, but also to remove roadblocks to the construction of new nuclear plants. Then, in May, a subsequent order de- clared a desire to ensure the deploy- ment of "advanced nuclear technolo- gies."
I think I'm beginning to understand the relationship between politics and Silicon Valley.
Well, that explains a lot. They are Web Apps! Why do we have to tie resources into Apps consumers are never gonna use without Corp account?
The Voith-Schneider Propeller is a vertical-axis marine drive whose spinning blades change pitch continuously, letting a ship generate instant thrust in any direction, like a helicopter rotor underwater. Super-maneuverable, perfect for tugs and ferries.
Still don't get why #Microsoft is forcing these AI Apps (Calendar, Files and People) on consumers. They are corporate Apps; you can't use them without a Corp account. Yet, you can't uninstall them, you can't disable them from AutoStart, MS just re-enable them with next reboot. This is crazy MS!
Translated: We're telling them what to doin Washington!
They don't even try to hide the fact they have an agent in the WH anymore.
Kremlin: The new US security strategy is “largely aligned” with Russia’s vision.
Wish someone would do a deep dive how and why Silicon Valley got so bad. Are they all deranged? Why?!
Your post! 🤣
Cloudflare has been failing regularly lately, no matter what the cause.
The regime has named the illegal, fascist occupation of New Orleans by ICE and CBP "Catahoula Crunch". Activists bought the domain name & it now directs people to local & national resources for those directly dealing with this daily terror.

So, let me get this straight: FIFA is announcing Peace Prize to compete with Nobel Peace Prize, but only for Criminals? Did I get that right? What has this to do with Football? And, they'll be awarding the FIFA prize every year I presume? #FIFA #BullshitPrize

wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics
You really have to believe these CEOs are living on a completely different planet compared to their users. The audacity of forcing a product on customers.

Was spelunking in Sys32 today, guess what I saw! Please tell me there are still people using phone dialer in Win11! 🤣
I can't believe Win11 is still carrying this around!
