Those fans that start at 30% and then allow you to go lower are explicitly allowed by the spec from Intel (linked in the article, sec 3.2 and 3.4).

High frequency hearing loss is associated with decreased intelligibility, and some of the harder situations to discern people is in a group or noisy environment.

I had a fairly rapid decrease in my high frequency hearing (basically my ears aged 20 years in a few months), and the biggest indicator to me was how much harder it was to understand dialogue in loud shows. I was turning on subtitles and/or turning the volume up where before I was fine with a fairly quiet volume.

Many states in the US allow private citizens to start prosecutions that then get passed to a public prosecutor; some also allow private citizens to attempt to convince a magistrate to issue arrest warrants. There are also a few that allow private citizens to try a complete case (ex: Virginia). It’s rare, and not allowed for federal cases, but is a thing in the US.

Rust links glibc dynamically, and can use musl for some platforms. By default most (all?) of the musl targets are linked statically, but they should be able to use dynamic linking for it as well.

Integrating accessibility into the tutorial is fantastic, but I’d also attribute it to Apple emphasizing accessibility in their developer documentation for a long time. I remember one of the early Interface Builder tutorials explaining accessibility pretty early on.

Depending on your DHCP and DNS servers, they might already have this built in. dnsmasq will maintain DNS entries for the DHCP leases it hands out, and can also add AAAA records if it sees a SLAAC message for a MAC address it gave a DHCP lease to. BIND’s servers (dhcpd, named, kea) can be set up so that for each DHCP lease assigned, a DDNS update is sent.

Echoing a sibling comment, that thread goes down the conspiracy rabbit hole very quickly. A few inaccuracies I noticed before giving up:

* "Remember, only 13 deaths out of the 36 passengers on the airship died." This skips the crew deaths (who also died at about the same rate).

* There were a bunch of photographers present at Lakehurst as it was the first crossing of 1937. The audio recording was not scripted, the original disc records a pressure wave which is followed by Morrison exclaiming that the Hindenburg is on fire.

* "Mary Jane" can be a real person's name.

* "Hugo Eckener, former head of the Zeppelin Company, Charles Rosendahl, commander of the Naval Air Station at Lakehurst, Max Pruss, captain of the Hindenburg and most of the surviving crew believed the airship had been sabotaged.". Eckener stated that it could be sabotage when he was first told the Hindenburg had gone down. He later backed the static spark theory.

Probably this one: https://db.debian.org/fetchkey.cgi?fingerprint=58B66D48736BE...

Debian uses PGP signing pretty extensively, and maintain a keyserver (and separate search interface I used for this) for their keys: https://keyring.debian.org/
