Likely true (I don’t know the source you’re referencing) given cancer risk associated with coal etc. But single nuclear events and fears associated with them stand out to voters, long term health implications of coal or other adverse effects of other power alternatives likely do not.

They’re likely referring to a remote access trojan (malware) which likely shares many features of whatever administrative tool the IT team uses at that company.

They’re also in my neighborhood - I generally see one every time I do an errand. They tend to drive 5-10 mph under the rest of traffic which can be frustrating. They also tend to be slow when making lane changes and turns to the point where it holds up other vehicles.

On a similar note, I setup my utility account this week. It was suggested by the representative that I use the last 4 digits of my SSN as a pin for my account. Pretty disappointing how short sighted many companies are when it comes to security practices.

Have you considered a ms surface for accessing your main machine? I’ve been tempted to use one running a linux disto for pretty much your use case, but haven’t pulled the trigger quite yet

Why not? Does that act invalidate any points in this blog post?

That’s a pretty big ask on a technical level, i’d be very surprised to see that happen anytime soon.

If you’re looking to get out of the adobe ecosystem i’ve had a pretty positive experience using Affinity Designer on my ipad (no affiliation with either company).

Ill be buying a new car this summer and seriously considering doing this or other hardware mods to disable any modems/telemetry. Does anyone know of any forums or something similar dedicated to these types of car hardware mods?

I’ve purchased a book from Kobo before. It used the epub DRM compatible with adobe digital editions. At the time (afaik) they didn’t have a way to load it on a kindle without breaking the drm, converting it to mobi and doing a manual transfer. These days I stick with my public library (which uses overdrive and in my opinion is fantastic) or amazon in the event they don’t own ebook licenses.
