France halts iPhone 12 sales over radiation exposure levels

Apple disputing tests by watchdog that showed radio frequency exposure was higher than permitted.

  • One possibility would be getting a used APS-C DSLR from Canon or Nikon, both come with a wide range of their own and third party lenses. Since both are wide spread they're comparatively cheap second-hand. That might vary depending on where you live though.

    I'm not sure about the current state of things, but until a couple of years ago DSLRs had still an edge over mirrorless regarding wildlife and sports.

  • That's the site not working in microsoft edge neither. I just tried the troubleshooting mode in ff, still the same. It does work with ff on mobile though. Luckily i ordered my new kettlebell last week when it still worked, gonna take a while 'til i need a heavier one :)

    Problems with firefox 116 and/or cloudflare

    Yesterday i upgraded ff to the current version and since today i experienced problems with a bunch of different sites. Either the cloudflare verification sends me into a loop or i get through and the site's not working correctly. Some others work, though. Disabling add-ons (noscript, ublock) and allowing all cookies didn't help. Most work with microsoft edge, but i don't know if the others worked with edge before.

    Does somenone have info on that or experienced the same problem? I'm not sure is it just a coincidence or does the update cause the problems.

    Edit:

    I found a workaround for some. First i set the cookie block from "all cookies" to "all cross-site cookies", then i allowed via STRG+i to set cookies for the refreshed page. Then i set the cookie block back again.

    I assume cloudflare changed the address for some of their cookies which got blocked by ff.

    The only one still not working (so far) is suprfit.com. It's not a big shop, their software might produce their own shenanig

    A firm founded by Rishi Sunak’s father-in-law signed a billion-dollar deal with BP two months before the prime minister opened hundreds of new licences for oil and gas extraction in the North Sea.

    In May, the Times of India reported that Infosys bagged a huge deal from the global energy company which is thought to be the second-largest in the history of the firm.

    The Indian IT company is owned by the prime minister’s wife’s family although Sunak has insisted the matter is of “no legitimate public interest”.

  • That depends on how many sun hours or/and wind you've got at your place, how much panels you can install and of course how much light you're using. I don't have the knowledge to do the math on that.

    Is there a free market to buy (sustainable) electricity from at your place? Or are you forced to buy from the local/regional provider?

    After her victory this past Saturday, the 22-year-old model – who will represent her country at the 72nd annual Miss Universe Pageant in El Salvador – has set out to be the example that she never had during her childhood. ‘We’re in 2023, it’s time to normalize this’

    Interesting tidbits:

    • The first [transwoman] to win a national contest was Ángela Ponce, from Spain, in 2018.
    • The change in regulations that allowed [...] transgender contestants occurred when it was owned by [...] Donald Trump.
    • Since 2022, the owner is Anne Jakkaphong Jakrajutatip, a Thai businesswoman who is also trans.

    The risk, explains Yuste, is that the same tools which – in medicine – can help improve people’s lives, can also end up violating the information stored in the brain. “Although the roadmap is beneficial, these technologies are neutral and can be used for better or worse,” he notes. This isn’t only about securing personal data, such as shopping habits, a home address, or which political party one supports – it also involves things as intimate as memories and thoughts. And, in the not so distant future, even the subconscious.

  • The article is not about single persons who might be trolls or whatever to qualify as a "bad guy". But about megacorporations like Meta. The best way to deal with them is-in my opinion-to not cooperate and defederate them as soon as they start to enter.

  • Wie sinnvoll die Einfärbung an dieser Stelle ist, kann ich nicht beurteilen. In meiner Stadt gibt es auch einen Abschnitt (baulich von Straße und Fußweg getrennt, benutzungspflichtig) an dem eine gute Beschilderung wahrscheinlich ausgereicht hätte um die paar Fußgänger_innen abzuschrecken, die da hin und wieder langlatschen. Ist auch breit genug um sich aus dem Weg zu gehen. Auf den Kreuzungen hingegen finde ich die Farbe sehr hilfreich.

    Leider nicht überraschend, daß der CSU Typ gleich die grüne Ökodiktatur ausruft. Die Kommentare hab ich mir eh gespart.

    Fixed my washing machine today!

    Today i'm actually proud of myself. I'm good with wood, textiles, gardening, trees etc. But metal, machines, electronics don't come natural to me at all. I learned to take care of bicycles or chainsaws because I had to but those scary household machines never. Until today. The machine stopped midway, full of water and clothes. Panic ensued. I already saw myself forced to buy a new one. After mere 20 years!

    But mommy raised not quitter, so i took the stuff out, drained the water (without flooding the bathroom!) and had a look at that debris catcher thing and the lye pump. Both a bit dirty but easily cleaned and the pump's screw still moved. After looking into the waste tube I put everything together again and run an empty cleaning cycle. At first everything seemed fine but coming back from a short nap the machine was full of water again. So rinse and repeat it is.

    This time i watched a few videos on how to dismantel the machine to get to the inner tubes. I had a hard time finding som
