50 years ago tonight in palo alto, the last of two shows by the jerry garcia band as half-accidental backing combo for piano genius james booker, a loose cannon’s loose canon, band sometimes sounding as if they’re learning songs on the fly. audience tape: https://archive.org/details/jg76-01-10<…

Series A, Episode 11 - Bounty
CALLY: But the elections were rigged.
TYCE: It was still failure.

BLAKE: He must come with us, by force if necessary.

A 400-Year-Old Ring that Unfolds to Track the Movements of the Heavens
Rings with a discreet dual purpose have been in use since before the common era, when Hannibal, facing extradition, allegedly ingested the poison he kept secreted behind a gemstone on his finger.

Paraphrase of my #IOT hardware rant on slack (unsurprising, since I maintain https://github.com/unixorn/internet-of-trash/)
In a perfect world IOT hardware companies should:
- Have to escrow the firmware. And escrow the source code, not just the binary blob
- The firmware isn't allowed to use binary blobs as device drivers. Chip manufacturers will have to suck it up and document their chips or hardware companies won't be able to use them
- Have to escrow any keys required to update the firmware
- To be sold, have to have a local API, with at a minimum, functionality to update the firmware once the hardware company stops support. No "You have to use our crapware that only works on a phone/computer OS two major versions old, and it has to download firmware from our servers that got turned off when we went out of business / dropped the product's support
- Eighteen months with no updates causes release of the escrowed firmware and update keys. There are bound to be at least some security updates required in that time
- Have to have clearly labeled pads on the board for updating firmware and running diagnostics.
- Not be allowed to lock consumers out of reflashing the firmware. If someone flashes custom firmware before the escrowed firmware is released, and the custom firmware bricks the device, that's on the person who reflashed it, not the company.

Classic - Breakfast in America (1979) von
#Supertramp #Model Kate Murtagh im Jahr 2016

COVER ART MATTERS on Instagram: "In 2016, Kate Murtagh, the actress and model who famously portrayed the waitress on Supertramp’s iconic Breakfast in America album cover, was 95 years old. That year, a touching photo surfaced online showing her recreating the playful expression she made in 1979, a wide, cheeky smile and raised eyebrows that had become part of rock history. The original album cover featured Murtagh dressed as a diner waitress styled after the Statue of Liberty, holding a glass of orange juice in place of a torch and a menu instead of a tablet. Behind her was a whimsical model of the New York City skyline made entirely from breakfast items like cereal boxes, egg cartons, and cutlery, perfectly matching the album’s satirical take on American culture. Kate Murtagh passed away in October 2017 at the age of 96, leaving behind one of the most memorable images in rock music history.

Interesting... Yamaha has a process called Acoustic Resonance Enhancement that does something similar, and they do it to guitars starting in the mid range price.

There’s science behind the madness. We promise
