No comment on the level of PFAS aside from

though the levels were low

This is just feeding the outrage machine to get clicks. If it was a story they’d be citing concentration guidelines and telling you what concentrations were found in the products. It’s not a story, it’s rage bait.

Android has 41% market share in the US. It sounds like you’ve got some pretty heavy sampling bias going on.

Lol, I thought it looked like an AC/DC song!

Nothing against anyone, you just don’t want homosexual people to be portrayed on TV shows?

Here’s some news, that’s something against someone.

Have a good day :)

The spice is the source of the prescience, I don’t think you can draw a line between them (the Tleilaxu could, but even then I think they used what they called synthetic spice, I don’t really recall that very well though).

Aside for that point, yep, I agree with pretty much everything you said!

Unless I’m missing something?

Spice is more LSD than meth.

Paul Erdos has entered the chat.

The 2022 movie covers the first half of the first book and that theme only really comes into its own in books 2 and 3.

I don’t really agree that the spice wasn’t put forward as a way to salvation. I think it clearly was key to finding the golden path.

The spice enabled the Bene Gesserit to see what was needed in their breeding program, and they were trying to breed Kwisatz Haderach who would lead humanity through a dangerous time, avoiding the destruction of the race. (Also the scene in the sietch that I won’t go into detail about, becuase spoilers)

Leto II uses the spice to see the golden path and forge humanity into what it needs to be to survive. (Also the other thing which I haven’t mentioned due to major spoilers of a cool moment).

The spice is pretty clearly necessary for the path taken to salvation.

While the spice may not have been necessary to avoid the destruction of the human race had another path been found, in the story as it was told it was absolutely central.

In Dune, the imperialist “nonsense” was the path to salvation. Genocide by machines was what we were saved from.

I was wondering if the Android fingerprint login had been compromised since the days of the gummybear attacks. For anyone else who was wondering: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/android-phones-are-vulnerable-to-fingerprint-brute-force-attacks/

Interesting question OP, I’ll be (academically) interested in the answer.

Edit: this Tasker answer is fiddly and very old, but may be worth looking into: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/139653/can-i-make-android-require-fingerprint-pin-to-unlock-the-screen

Storage of easily enriched material to prevent theft is a concern, especially given the number of incidents with jokers photographing themselves inside nuclear facilities and the results of FBI testing of nuclear site security protocols.

Additionally, given the ridiculously long half life of the products, you get into conversations about what happens on the thousands of years time scale in which it’s not reasonable to think that any given state remains politically stable.

And we’re just ignoring the whole weapons proliferation side of things?

OK, I didn’t read before answering, probably ignore my answer below but I’ll leave it up incase someone learns something from it.

Edit: misunderstood what OP wanted to do, leaving this here in case it’s interesting to anyone.

Sounds like what you are tyring to do is called Split Horizon DNS.

Requests from outside your network should resolve server.domain.com to the public IP, but requests from inside your network should resolve it to the private IP.

If that’s what it is then you register the public IP with your nameservers. You also run a DNS service internally which you point all your computers at (likely by putting it as the DNS server in your networks DHCP settings). That DNS server is set up to return the private ip addresses for all your servers, and to forward any other requests to some external DNS like 1.1.1.1

I’m not sure what your use case or for needing to use the internal IP address from inside the network, but it might be to avoid traffic exiting your network just to be sent back in? Or you me a that you want external requests to go to one server and internal to go to another server? I’m which case the set up above still works, but on just use the appropriate IP addresses in the appropriate places.

An effect can be observable but still negligible in terms of the actual increase of risk.

You think a mercury sandwich isn’t a realistic representation of wood.

Wow, you know, after careful consideration I think you may be right. Thanks for your wisdom. Truly enlightening.

I’ll go eat some wood.

Sometimes I just don’t bother learning new stuff till the old stuff stops working for me. It’s amazing how many really simple things people stroll past on their way to god knows where.
