If you live in an area affected by wildfire smoke and can’t afford to buy an air purifier, please consider building a Corsi–Rosenthal Box as you might have all the components at home already. Here's what you need + how to do it:

No wonder Musk wants to keep the reasons for the crashes secret despite hundreds of crashes. TESLA suggests the data is proprietary… but this YouTube report suggests that it over relying on cameras rather than eg radar …LIDAR (which is very expensive …but used by other car manufacturers)

OK, our last year-end piece appears on a new site. For my best blog post of 2024, I had to give it to @ichbingisele.bsky.social and @dannyashton.com. They called out something real, and it’s hard not to ignore the importance of what they caught. tedium.co/2024/12/31/b... new @tedium.co

I'm coming up on 7 years out of the SEO world, but I still find investigations into black hat tactics like this fascinating: recleudo.com/under-google... Wild that cloaking, redirects, fake 404s, casinos buying content sites, et al. still work after all these decades.

1) This feels like really good, bold public interest journalism by the BBC! 2) If you were around social media / online publishing circa 2014 and followed The Social Chain, it was soooo baffling to watch his reinvention as a business guru. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

to add to to this: I want journalists to know there are countless “content creators” using your reporting, misrepresenting it, erasing your existence & profiting from it. i found this podcast that literally PHOTOSHOPPED MY NAME OUT of my own fucking story. are we going to take this shit lying down?

💯Clean air delivery rate (CADR) is more important than HEPA rating! I have been buying portable air cleaners for the lab and home that are not HEPA-level but offer a high CADR per dollar spent and low noise. Marwa Zaatari's comparison chart from 2021 is a good way to think about this.

A conventional air purifier (eg. AirFanta 3Pro) typically requires three air changes to reduce the airborne viral load by 95%. In contrast, an N95 mask can achieve the same level of reduction instantly. While air purifiers are effective over time, they don’t provide immediate protection. (1/6)

People often take clean water for granted, but it hasn't always been this way. In the 19th century, pioneers like John Snow and Louis Pasteur uncovered the link between cholera and contaminated water.

In February 2024, we said that Google was killing the independent web with its bias toward big media. Ten months later, Google invited us to their HQ alongside other web creators to discuss. In our latest video, we discussed everything: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aye4...

I started a gaming site. It blew up, then crashed. From just me to a team of 30 and back down again...except for one hire I didn't even advertise for. I got a special feeling after receiving an application one day and took a chance. We didn't do video reviews...but then we did. And it worked.

Musk admitted X throttles links, and Threads is only a little better. But social media's quiet war on links has been going on for years. I wrote about how big tech has been draining the open web's lifeblood and giving us "news influencers" instead of the news. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
