I have family members who were in Hawaii (Haleiwa) today and they are wondering if they should try to beat the tsunami and get back to their hotel in Waikiki.
I am afraid Waikiki will see flooding. I know Duke's and some other restaurants were closing early.
Do not stay in Haleiwa or go to Waikiki. Consult a map, and find some uphill areas above 100ft to drive to. Drive towards Mililani and wait it out in the upland areas.
My kids are at camp right now on the North Shore and are being evacuated by bus to Mililani.
I've been using Radio Garden for years.
A tip that took me a while is you have to click the place name for larger locations to get a list of all stations.
Try music from Dakar, Senegal or Guinea-Bissau. Super funky music. There used to be a station called Radio Gumbe, but I can't find it any more.
I'd love a plugin to MS Flight Sim 2020 which would play a local radio station as I fly over any location in the world.
The worst part is having the immersion interrupted by localized ads for a US car dealer, credit card or VPN service. I guess one could pass custom location information to Radio Garden however...
I also find this so good to get context on the opinion on the US from outside the US, listening to call-in radio news shows from the UK, for example.
As if my ATI video card doesn't lose its Windows driver every other reboot.

I saw trained pigeons flying from my hotel rooftop in Wuhan when I visited in 2001. Someone on another building was commanding them to fly in patterns with flags. I don't recall if there were any whistles involved, but it was a really captivating sight to watch that I have never seen since.

That is what Intel does, they build up a market (Optane) and then do a rug pull (Depth Cameras). They continue to do this thing where they do a huge push into a new technology, then don't see the uptake and let it die. Instead of building slowly and then at the right time, doing a big push. Optane support was just getting mature in the Linux kernel when they pulled it. And they focused on some weird cost cutting move when marketing it as a ram replacement for semi-idle VMs, ok.
They keep repeating the same mistakes all the way back to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_iAPX_432
I made the mistake early in our startup of spending several months and quite a bit of cash building our first iot product on the Intel Edison platform, only to get zero support on the bugs in the SPI chip and the non-existent (but advertised) microcontroller. We finally gave up and made our own boards based on another SOM (and eventually stopped building boards entirely) and they rather unceremoniously cancelled the Edison in 2017. I guess nobody else was surprised, but I had naively thought the platform did have potential and a huge company like Intel would support the things they sold.

Some “militant” urban cycling commuters do things like attach a pool noodle horizontally and vertically to create space and visibility. I’d probably hazard a guess that avoiding highway miles also lowers your risk profile substantially.
I had not heard of/seen the pool noodle idea - looks like a simple and effective way to draw attention to cycling safety.
Here's a video of the NYC Pool Noodle Bike Ride: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97YJOQRQ4Ds&ab_channel=Stree...
Weird. There is little that depresses me more than watching my wife sit at the table for hours a day slowly scrolling Facebook while ignoring me and the kids. We have talked about it and she's tried to reduce it to no avail.
Back in my day the arrogant devs just used printer paper and a hand drawn sign saying "GO AWAY!" taped to the back of their chair.
I am so ready to jump back to Firefox, and yet, still here in 2025, I had to go into about:config and fiddle to have it help me autofill CC details, and it doesn't seem like it will remember the CVV for me, unlike chrome. And about:config isn't available on the mobile version, so I can't get that one to auto-fill any CC fields.
So, given my choice of using Fx and having to remember my CC-details or take out my cred every time I buy something online, or use Chrome and have things just work smoothly, I'm sad to say that I'll stick with Chrome for now.
I don't understand why they can't just make this existing feature work for everyone (it's somehow locked to certain countries that doesn't include Sweden).
And if you think CC info is too sensitive to be remembered by the browser, I consider it a lot less sensitive than many of my passwords which I let it remember. I am assuming they know something about how to store this stuff in a secure way. And residing in the EU I can't even use my CC at places that haven't implemented 2FA for credit cards, like e.g. godaddy last I checked. I need to sign every transaction with my electronic bank id.
Are there other options out there for Browsers that aren't Fx or Chrome? Which one is actually good (technically as well as ethically)?
Use a password manager, like 1password to securely encrypt and store your secure information, including cc info, so that you don't have to store it in your browser. 1password can fill in your browser fields for you.
