Apparently, if their bookmark was directly to a specific forum (i.e. Tips and Deals) rather than the main site, it doesn't redirect and they might think the forum is still down.

If you have direct contact info, you might want to give them a heads up.

At least 20 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli air strike that hit a popular seafront cafe frequently used by activists, journalists, and local residents in western Gaza on Monday, according to medics and eyewitnesses.

...

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.

The attack came after Israel carried out a wave of air strikes across the Gaza Strip overnight, triggering the mass displacement of hundreds of Palestinian families, witnesses said.

  Kohberger pleads guilty in Idaho student murders
Posted by: RonT (aka Ombligo) - 06-30-2025, 11:34 PM - Forum: Tips and Deals - Replies (5)

Bryan Kohberger has agreed to plead guilty to all counts in the killings of four University of Idaho students, sparing him from the death penalty, according to a letter sent to victims' family members informing them of the plea deal.

Kohberger -- who was charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary in connection with the 2022 killings of roommates Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen and Xana Kernodle and Kernodle's boyfriend, Ethan Chapin -- will be sentenced to four consecutive life sentences on the murder counts and the maximum penalty of 10 years on the burglary count, according to the plea agreement.

He will waive all right to appeal, the agreement said.

Justice is served and the families are spared years of trials and appeals.

Hundreds of Brother printer models have an unpatchable security flaw

So what's the worst that can happen if a hacker got into my printer? My printers are all wired and my WiFi password is impossibly long.

This version now displays stl files. IIRC, it didn't do so before. Very hand for those of us that 3d print.

  Republicans introduce last-minute industry ‘killer’ tax on solar and wind in spending
Posted by: special - 06-30-2025, 08:22 PM - Forum: 'Friendly' Political Ranting - Replies (5)

Business groups and clean-energy developers are apoplectic over a last-minute provision tucked into President Donald Trump’s spending bill that will tax the solar and wind industry, making it much harder to get new, cheap electricity onto the grid.

Senate Republicans revealed an entirely new tax for renewable energy this weekend, in the latest version of a bill that could be passed as early as Monday afternoon. The bill already stripped tax incentives for renewables by 2027 and gave developers stringent requirements to claim them.

  Edits not sticking when replacing file
Posted by: Jerry_Registered - 06-30-2025, 07:38 PM - Forum: Tips and Deals - Replies (3)

First - why does copy/paste not work here?

Second - I've been running into an issue when I try to save things just to a document or Image. If I open a file from my desktop or a folder, then make edits and then try to save it in the same location with the same name I get a dialogue asking if I want to replace the existing file. I click "Replace" but later when I open the file again, none of my changes were saved-- it's still the old version. It's like the file isn't actually updating even though I told it to replace the original. Has anyone else experiences or know might be causing it? Thanks.

you know them little snap containers that berries and the like are sometimes sold in with the little socketed divots in the corners that supposed to lock but never do?

[Image: Kitchn-2021-Last-Thing-Strawberry-Container-1.jpg]

eggs sold at CostCo are in the same kind of container, except they work for as long as it takes to go thru 24 eggs, a while here.

I love not having half open containers of eggs.
