One of our HomePods in a stereo pair stopped playing. A quick check showed it had picked the 2.5 GHz WiFi network. Can the Home app change the network? No. “HomePod automatically connects to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS or iPadOS device,” 😩
So I did what any normal person would do, separate the stereo pair, log into my router, disable the entire 2.5 GHz network, reboot the HomePod, and it joined the 5 GHz network. Re-create the stereo pair and it’s all working as it used to before Mr. Left woke up on the wrong side of the bed one morning.

Contract details for Tyron Smith’s new deal with New York Jets revealed https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/contract_details_for_tyron_smiths_new_deal_with_new_york_jets_revealed/s1_17236_40133640

Contract details for Tyron Smith’s new deal with New York Jets revealed
The contract details for tackle Tyron Smith‘s new deal with the New York Jets are now public, and they’re raising a lot of eyebrows among Cowboys fans. While Smith’s contract could end up paying out roughly $20 million for the 2024 season, his base salary is just $6.5 million. Many would consider that a steal for a multi-time All-Pro tackle. Most of Smith’s contract money can be earned by playing a lot this season. Beginning at 38% of the team’s offensive snaps, the former first-round…

Someone asked today what a 'sense of self' is.
I want to tie this into ideas of relationality. I am a distinct individual, let's start with that. I'm not disavowing that entirely.
But I am also ‘an unschooler’: but this is not an attribute of my education for comparison. It is a community, a network of relationships with people working in similar ways. It's connections to anabaptist traditions and to a mode of interacting with parents (both in concept and my actual parents)
I'm from Colorado. But it's not just a place on the map: it's my relationship to my sense of smell, and my tolerance for cold weather and bright lights. It's a love of dark skies and clear views of the milky way. It's a relationship to knowing I am very very small in a vast universe. This is not a universal explanation of from-Colorado-ness, but it's mine.
I'm transgender, but that's not just I-myself-was-born-in-a-wrong-body, but I have a community and network and sense of belonging outside of myself. I've got embodied knowledge of being a dozen ways that others don't get to experience. It affects and informs my relationship to my communities and my work.
I’m argumentative and sometimes a little arrogant, but this is also because of how I'm connected: there are things I know deep in my body that I cannot explain how I know, but I do. I forget that others see me as a ‘you' and not a 'we' sometimes, and so misunderstandings happen. But to change that would change me in ways I'm not quite willing to grow into, so there is going to be a small callus in how I socialize. And it's fine. It works. I am who I am, but I also don't think about _me_ that much. To think about me is to think of all the connections instead. They're inseparable.

Incredible profits on the power network today -- AUD $231 in 90 minutes.
Make money: Time-shift the sun.
This all reflects the support and reliability we're gifting the grid. The NSW power grid is in a week of crisis, with big "normal" power stations failing to help out when there are temporary problems with the link to Victoria, and seasonal lows in dinner-time wind solar.
(I just wish TV news — especially ABC News — would stop discussing nuclear since it…

Raiders decide to make surprising move at wide receiver
The Las Vegas Raiders decided to part ways with slot receiver Hunter Renfrow after five seasons. The former fifth-round pick is expected to be released on Wednesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Hunter Renfrow was slated to make $11.882 million in 2024, but nothing of that was guaranteed — so that amount is what the Raiders are expected to save against the salary cap if the team applies the post-June 1st designation. His cap hit would be $13.718 million. In order to apply the post…

Fermi surface of the chiral topological semimetal CoSi
We report a study of the Fermi surface of the chiral semimetal CoSi and its relationship to a network of multifold topological crossing points,Weyl points, and topological nodal planes in the electronic band structure. Combining quantum oscillations in the Hall resistivity, magnetization, and torque magnetization with ab initio electronic structure calculations, we identify two groups of Fermi-surface sheets, one centered at the R point and the other centered at the $Γ$ point. The presence of …

21/ „What a wonderful world“ ist von #LouisArmstrong.
Nichts von dem Lied (und dem Video) passt auf die Welt von heute bzw. die Situation vor Ort.
Die Schmetterlinge und Bienen sind tot, die Bäume krank. Die Hütten in den #Alpen haben kein #Wasser mehr. Regenbogen gibt es noch ab und zu, aber je nach dem, wo wir auf der Welt sind, wird der Niederschlag seltener und somit auch die Regenbögen. Auf den Gesichtern der Menschen war kein Lächeln sondern Trauer und Verzweiflung. Frauen wollen zum Teil keine Kinder mehr bekommen, weil sie das für verantwortungslos halten.
#LouisArmstrong hat dieses Lied 1967 gesungen. Wikipedia schreibt dazu:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_a_Wonderful_World#Inhalt
„Die Intention des Liedes war es, eine Gegenströmung zum zunehmend schlechter werdenden politischen Klima in den USA zu bilden. Daher besingt das Lied Natur, Sonne, Farben, Freundschaften und Kinderaugen und das bei all den kleinen und großen Problemen im Leben, wo Hass, Missgunst, Machtkämpfe und Katastrophen einem die Welt manchmal alles andere als „wunderbar“ vorkommen lassen. Die erste Strophe des Textes lautet:
“I see trees of green, red roses too. I see them bloom for me and you, and I think to myself: What a wonderful world.”“
