This is an actual thing.

No problem, Trump supporters will tell them the color of the neighborhoods to target.
He resigned from the current Congress and was reelected to the next one where the Republicans have the majority
Just release the results of the investigation that he just resigned from congress to prevent form being made public.
Not disagreeing with you. Just making clear that it is actually worse.
A Karen and a cop can’t put someone in jail. It takes a prosecutor, a judge and a jury of her peers.
Tim Miller of the Bullwark was just so pissed off by the audacity of “White Guys for Harris”.
When asked why, he would mumble something about White guys being for anything is bad and then he would hear how ridiculous that sounds and change the subject. I saw him do it a couple of times.
Voting in a first past the post election is binary. That’s not an opinion you can agree with, it’s math. Sometimes you only get to choose the least shitty option. If Trump and Vance do what they promised, there is a non trivial chance you won’t even get to do that - like in Hungary, Iran or Russia - where they have elections, but not really.
You voted to wipe out the Palistinians.
You don’t believe me?
What is Trump’s position on Palestine?
It’s support BeBe with whatever he wants. There is no two state solution in the Republican platform.
What we say doesn’t matter now, you won.
GG
Not a Musk fan. I haven’t been on shitter for over a year.
This is not necessarily a bad thing from a US perspective.
Starlink is a strategic asset for the United States.
It shouldn’t be in danger of being destroyed by an attack by China.
Only inasmuch as it personally enriches him
You voted a blank check to BeBe. How is that helping the Palestinians?
The key point here is that it is grounds for impeachment by.
This exactly.
It is how they are planning to get a contengent election
Get out there people. The time has come!
Don’t believe the naysayers. No matter which state you are in, your vote is important. Extreme Conservatives have been taking over school boards and imposing their agenda on kids.
Offices like Sheriff, Coroner, Secretary of State, Lt Governor, State Representatives, City and County Councils etc. are all important.
Every Vote Counts!!!!!
Many important local races will be decided by less votes than the number of updoots I will receive for this comment.
I found a weird IP address on my network that had transmitted an insanely small amount of data. I put the address in my browser and got this. what the heck am I looking at?
UPDATE 10/4 6:47 EDT
I have been going through all the comments. THANKS!!!!!! I did not know about the techniques listed, so they are extremely helpful. Sorry for the slow update. As I mentioned below, I got behind with this yesterday so work cut into my evening.
I ran a port scan. The first syntax, -p, brought no joy. The nmap software itself suggested changing to -Pn. That brought an interesting response:
nmap -Pn 1-9999 <Local IP Addr>
Starting Nmap 7.93 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2024-10-04 11:44 BST
Failed to resolve "1-9999". Nmap scan report for <Local IP Address> Host is up (0.070s latency). All 1000 scanned ports on 192.168.0.46 are in ignored states. Not shown: 990 filtered tcp ports (no-response), 10 filtered tcp ports (host-unreach) Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 6.03 seconds Just to be absolutely sure, I turned off my work computer (the only windows box on my network) and reran the same syntax with the same results.
As I read this, there is definitely something on my network running windows that is not showing up on the DHCP.
UPDATE 10/6
I am working through all these suggestions. I am sorry for the slow responses, but I have my hands full with family weekend. I will post more next tomorrow. But I did do one thing that has me scratching my head and wondering if this may be a wild goose chase.
I ran the nmap again per below with a completely fictional IP address within my normal range. It gave the exact same results:
nmap -A -T4 -p- -Pn <Fictional IP>
Starting Nmap 7.93 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2024-10-05 13:36 BST Nmap scan report for <Fictional IP>

How do I avoid enshitification of my keyboard and mouse
I have been using Logitech peripherals for years. Logitech gear always just worked.
Now they demand internet accounts to use the features of the keyboard and mouse that I purchased. WTF?
Not only that, have to use wide-open-to-snooping Chrome to adjust the settings. You cannot adjust/use your mouse and keyboard if you just use Firefox.
This only makes sense if they are planning (or are already) tracking my every move online to sell to advertisers or spooks.
What are the good options?
Also, if anybody sees how these changes could be benign, please let me know.
EDIT:
By popular demand:
The keyboard I bought that started this journey: MX Keys S
The key feature that first demanded cloud access: Swithing between computers, now it is requires it to adjust the receivers. I have both a Bolt and a Unifying receiver.
Mouse (actually a trackball) that now is requesting that I use a Chrome Browser to adjust it: M570
Software: The Logi SetPoint Settings I open from Windows now requires you to log into your Logitech account to make changes to your Unifying or 2.4 ghz usb receiver. This link takes you to a screen that says Logi Web Connect. It does not work unless you use the latest version of Chrome, Edge, & Opera, but reccomends Chrome for the best experience.
Logitech + used to require this to enable options, but I don’t see it on my Windows computer anymore. It is still on my Mac, but upon opening it to confirm for this message, it seems to be announcing that it is now able to incorporate AI into everything I type. (ugggh)
Interview in a Podcast by The Economist Just Said “Streets Ahead”
I am sorry, but I think this is a subscriber only podcast. Today when discussing the advancements of AI and Digital Twins, the expert said they are now “Streets Ahead”.
Specifically he said “Formula One manufacturers have some of the most advanced technology you can see. They are Streets Ahead of other manufacturers.
I thought this group may appreciate that.
Edit: the timestamp is 11:30 The name of the podcast is: Foiled Again, A Second Attempt on Trump
My Logitech mouse list features
Is it just me? My logitech mouse has lost the scroll will and other features apparently to turn them back on I have to enable web access to run my mouse.
Why?
I presume this is so they can track me and sell data.
Help! Trying to Shell Out of Excel
I am trying to shell out of VBA in excel and I keep getting permissions issues. So far I have tried:
Full Disk Access
Accessibility
Developer Rights
chmod
Quarantine
Shell function
AppleScriptTask function (with full disks access and Accessiblity, and Developer Rights)
All of the pieces work independently. I can call it from the command line and as an apple script from osascript
The MOST frustrating thing its that once I got the permissions correct on Apple Script, then the excel AppleScriptTask function stopped working. The command that used to work now throws an Error 13 Type Mismatch. I have double checked, triple checked and had Chat GPT write the code. There is not type mismatch - and it worked fine before I fixed the permissions on Apple Script.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!
