Why climate experts say this election could be our last chance for meaningful action | If Trump wins in 2024, there is little hope of limiting climate damage in c/[email protected]

Kids, this could be our last election. Vote. Get your friends to vote. Volunteer at polling places. Donate money. Hang posters. Do everything possible to keep Trump and MAGA nut jobs out of public offices.

Apple releases iOS 18.1, macOS 15.1 with Apple Intelligence in c/[email protected]

I’m definitely interested to see how Apple has approached this and integrated into the experience. But I’m having a hard time being enthusiastic because I’m just so sick of AI bullshit in everything. Maybe this will be different 🤞

Stories like this about specific areas help it be personal for people. It’s good to share, even though we know it’s not the whole problem.

Maybe we need a Twitter bot. An open source one that many people can run. Use all of the dormant accounts to just constantly remind people that millions have left and they should also.

Yeah they are pretty sweet in person. The prices are dropping fast, I'm seeing them for $15k. Even with some potential repair costs and having to figure it out myself (since there's no warranty) that's a pretty amazing deal.

Clear’s Use of Facial Recognition could be a TSA workaround to the law (seattlelunarsociety.org)
 

The TSA has attempted to roll out more facial recognition in airports but has so far been blocked from doing so. Clear is stepping in to gather all that biometric data for them, in addition to the fingerprints and Iris scans they already have, and provid it to TSA directly while making a profit on the side from doing so. 

“In the near future, Clear's new facial recognition system will electronically transmit members' digital identities to TSA's second-generation Credential Authentication Technology (CAT-2) scanners, Clear says.”

SpaceX risks employee safety and underreports injuries (www.nytimes.com)
 

They have not received any OSHA fines, but that’s because they haven’t submitted injury data to OSHA since 2016. But now employees are starting to self-report.

Electric Objects EO1 - Zombie Mode (seattlelunarsociety.org)
 

I really love this Kickstarter digital photo/art frame and even though the company shut down this week, I have kept mine alive and made it work really well, better in some ways than it did before.

Here's the post on keeping the EO1 alive in zombie mode. I hope it helps someone else not throw away this cool device! https://z32guru.com/tech-projects/electric-objects-eo1-zombie-mode

I also started/hosted a community for fellow EO1 hackers to help share knowledge on how the device works. https://seattlelunarsociety.org/c/electricobjectseo1

Electric Objects EO1 Zombie Mode (seattlelunarsociety.org)
 

This is the best way I've found to keep my EO1 working, be able to update wifi settings, and push new images to it from a computer or phone remotely. "Zombie mode" keeps the body and OS of the EO1, but replaces the brain that controls image selection and slideshows with an Android app.

Here's a writeup of how I approached it:
