Just had this come across the wire at work by our InfoSec folks. If you're running an Android device with a Qualcomm chipset, you may want to take a look. https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-43047 #mobile #security #infosec #technology

In all of my visits, I've rarely had anything but the unsupported arm method which leads to the most inaccurate readings. Anyone want to guess how many millions of people have been put on unnecessary drugs because of this? "A study led by researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine reveals that the way a patient’s arm is positioned during routine blood pressure (BP) screenings can lead to significant overestimation of results, potentially contributing to the misdiagnosis of hypertension."

Bad arm position drastically affects blood pressure readings: Study

The study confirms that arm position during BP measurement makes a "huge difference" in the accuracy of the results.

Just watched @Daniel Batten's panel at Bitcoin Amsterdam. He always does a fantastic job of explaining why Bitcoin isn't the threat, but the solution. Someone needs to make an infographic with his Bitcoin ticks all five boxes talking point to shoot back at people still on energy and mining fud.

Anyone know why a community created on Coracle does not show up on noStrudel? I've joined other groups on Coracle that do. #asknostr Group in question: https://coracle.social/groups/naddr1qvzqqqyx7cpzpr94q5c9h22cwn4mf5y0f28tuaay9dct69egy7aew5rxjjtlu38fqqgrjdfnxs6nwdfjxvenwdfe8yurs8htdww/notes

So one of her complaints is that nuclear takes too long to build out but she has protested against it since 1979. So her ignorance cost FOUR DECADES of progress and clean energy production. She's complicit in the adverse effects of climate change. Brilliant! Other countries are building nuclear facilities much quicker than 15 years. You know why? Because they didn't let anti-nuclear action groups and folks like her drive insane regulation to add years to the process. If climate change is as big of an issue as environmentalists want to claim, you cut red tape and expedite buildout. You tell people like Fonda, the Sierra Club, NRDC and Rocky Mountain Institute to kindly shut the fuck up.

Climate change is a hard problem. Unfortunately, solar panels and wind turbines won't be enough.

Like the most pure quartz on the planet that is the backbone for the semiconductor industry located in Spruce Pine, NC? Or Albemarle-Lithium located in Kings Mountain, NC? Man, Hurricane Helene sure made for some convenient timing. I'm sure the timing of this article is entirely coincidental, too.

Fiskers was supposed to move their HQ to North Las Vegas with plans to build a massive production facility alongside it. It was derailed when they started having money problems. Looks like Vegas dodged a bullet.
