For most of my (male) life, people misspelled my name Aaron as Erin fairly regularly. I think that has contributed to the confusion. I also used to get Arron, Airon, and other variants. The "A-A-Ron" skit has made a noticeable difference in recent years.

They literally could just replant those 300 hectares of forest. Or 3000 hectares to show how sorry they are. It's not irreparable.

I think they are only in the "home" version, so if you're using a business version of Windows you won't see them

I've used these: https://sensirion.com/media/documents/213E6A3B/63A5A569/Data...

They claim accuracy of +-0.2 c across a wide temperature range and in my use they seem to be. easy to find on a support board for under $10

"On Monday, Aug. 31, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) issued a memorandum revoking existing permits for automated license plate recognition (ALPR) systems, commonly referred to by the brand name "Flock cameras," that are installed within the right of way of roads on the State Highway System."

Very first paragraph. "Flock" is basically being used like "Kleenex" here

Apple updated it yesterday. If I were Google I'd turn down that refresh rate and let someone else take the bad PR next time

calling it "Google's war" is an interesting take. No doubt they have added some hoops to jump through and reduced freedoms, but Apple has been leading the charge against installing arbitrary software for decades.
