Frustratingly his constant repeating of this backwards understanding is working. It's starting to widely take hold and resistance in the face of constant misinformation is breaking down. I heard in the last week NPR and the BBC repeat the "foreign country will pay" as fact, not a quote, with no effort to correct or clarify.
What's the saying? Repeat a lie enough and it becomes reality?
No meal is complete without cat fur. Didn't you read the label before buying?
Or public transit. Or public parks. Or grocery stores.
Ah, you're right. Got it mixed up with furnace fans which have smaller caps.
Another big area of Windows that uses kernel-level drivers is anti-cheating engines for games. Microsoft has been speaking with game developers about how to reduce the amount of kernel usage, but it’s a more complicated use case as cheaters often have to purposefully tamper with their machine to disable protections and get cheating engines running.
“A lot of [game developers] would love to not have to maintain kernel stuff, and they are very interested in how they do that,” Weston says. “We’ve been talking about the requirements there, and I think we’ll have more to say on that in the near future.” Riot Games told me last year that it’s willing to follow potential Windows security changes and “recede from the kernel space.”

It's a large capacitor. They are used in those big outdoor AC units to kick start the ~~fan~~ compressor. Being outdoors and subject to large temperature changes and vibrations for years they inevitably fail.

Windy.com is fun to play with.
Android there's Flowx, Raindar II for basic but quick local radar, and Breezy Weather for a more traditional but open source option.
It appears President Donald Trump won’t be getting anywhere close to the $20 billion he demanded from CBS and its parent company Paramount Global now that a mediator proposed a $20 million settlement instead.
The proposal would include a $17 million payment to Trump’s presidential library, $2 million more than ABC’s settlement with Trump in December, and another $3 million in legal fees and public service announcements covering antisemitism
He's the next Joe Manchin. Mainchin wielded outsized influence being at the extreme edge of the party with an electorate willing to keep him there. Wouldn't be surprised if Fetterman finds that appealing.
It needs to have three little wings on the outside of the ring. These fit into the threads in the screw-like adjustment mechanism.
Mine looked good until I realized two of the three wings had broken clean off and disappeared.
It's a big part of why they say to adjust the grind with the motor running. If you change it to a finer grind while beans are wedged in the burrs you're putting pressure on these fragile wings.
