>pushback

For some reason, the algo on my Youtube feed has been coughing up videos about certain Speed Queen washer models that are mostly analog and still built to last 25 years.

Now I'm seeing new YT videos about a new maybe analog Maytag (part of Whirlpool) washer "built to last."

It looked like washing machine clickbait so I didn't watch, but it looks like some of the pushback is starting to stick and hopefully will spread.

I'm hoping it will also spread to other appliances like bringing back analog dishwashers and making refrigerators that last longer.

1. Are you seeing stuff about analog appliances from your sources?

2. Is The Internet of Things crashing and burning?

Second Level Targets:

Hospitals

Schools

I hate to mention them but Russia started targeting Ukrainian Hospitals and Schools very early on as well as cultural targets.  Ditto Israel in Gaza.  Others will copy this behavior in future conflicts.

>targets

Oil refineries

Big Bridges

Ballrooms hhh

>checks

1. Use fraud resistant checks, those ones with foil holograms.

2. Use fraud resistant ink pens.

Since I use Vivaldi, this is very good news to me.  Thanks.

Scary.  Innovative too.  I hate to say it but killer robots are the future of warfare.

A fridge should never need software. 

Full circle.  In the "All Creatures Great and Small" books the author talks (post-World War II) about when first sulfa drugs and then antibiotics finally made their way to veterinary medicine. He had been talking about, pre-antibiotics, they had used a copper wash to fight an ailment in cattle which had some  some beneficial effect but how antibiotics seemed like magic cure in comparison and how all those apothecary bottles in the vet surgery started gathering dust to be replaced by a small cabinet containing antibiotic vials. 

Makes me wonder if some of those old pre-antibiotic treatments might be used to augment modern medicines against stubborn maladies. 

It's very important to pay attention to this as part of situational awareness.

There is a real need for this for many group blogs.

Sure, sure NOW everybody loves the smugglers. 

It's hard to hold yourself out as a premium car when you are forcing adverts on your buyers while Ford and Chevy are not (yet).

That was a good read.  Techdirt does really good stuff.
