Antiquated, sexist standards for AC temperatures. The air conditioning regulations were made with men in mind. Studies show many office climatecontrol systems are based on a six decade old model centred on the resting metabolic rate of a 154 pound, 40 year old male. “We know so much less about women, because nearly all of our data — in any sphere — is based on usually white, young males".

#Outdated
@sodiboo @tauon @puppygirlhornypost2 @silly I don't think it's much of a "#freedom" on #iOS but rather that the few devices and OS versions in circulation, alongside everyone from #jailbreaker to #malware (espechally #govware #developers) want to crack it open result in way more personnel and money behind it.
- OFC the fact that the #Android experience is worse from that POV is the lack of #regulation re: #repairability and #openness that would make shit work. Most cheap #phones are done with even cheaper #SoC's by manufacturers who can't be assed (or frankly don't give a shit at all!) when it comes to #Linux #mainline support. (I mean, you've seen the video where @SexyCyborg demanded a vendor to give her the sourcecode as per #GPLv2 for her device?)
Granted @GrapheneOS does limit their support to devices that can comply with their #security standards.
- The issues are mostly caused by hostile app developers that specifically decided to knee-jerk their users / customers for no good reason.
I do wish for both vendors like #Fairphone to up their game and regulators like @EUCommission to actually push for more #transparency, #openness and #LongTermSupport of #Smartphones, because #ManufacturedEwaste like #SOYES, #WiKo, #Unihertz and others that ship #outdated #AndroidDevices and never even a single update are a major problem!
- I don't blame projects like @LineageOS that they can't cover every device & SoC even tho they propably have the widest compatibility, I just think that there needs to be pressure that manufacturers don't just vomit stuff on the market and let customers frustratingly figure out the rest.
I do have to give #Apple credit where it is due, and that is that #iOS does have consistency and accessibility nailed down very well. Something that they obviously are able being the "#BenevolentDictator" of a #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider - platform.
- Obviously since they are the #vendor for #hardware and the sole ["legitimate" / official] #distributor for any #Apps they do OFC cross-finance their relatively long #support with their 15-30% cut from #App #sales & #InAppPurchase|s they charge, which is why #AndroidPhones suffer the "#3DO syndrome": Needing to charge more since they only get to make money once with hardware sales and not after that, so there's no incentive for them to give a shit beyond "brand value" to care. #Google, #Samsing, #Fairphone and very few others do, but most don't as they close the books on the product once launched and sold out (angrily stares at Unihertz)...
Maybe one day the folks at @frameworkcomputer acquire Fairphone and decide to bring the same modularity to #Smartphones and get something done that makes it easy to maintain long-term and that even #GrapheneOS are willing to support.
- Until then the #Enshittification is ruining everything as usual...

They called it outdated. They said it wouldn’t survive modern warfare. But Ukrainian troops are proving the critics wrong—by driving this Cold War-era Dutch APC straight into the front lines.
In this exclusive frontline report, we ride inside the YPR-765, a Dutch-made armored personnel carrier based on the old M113. From the muddy fields of Eastern Ukraine to intense assaults under enemy fire, soldiers from Ukraine’s 57th Motorized Brigade reveal how this aging war machine still plays a critical role—despite its age, thin armor, and lack of modern firepower.
Is it reliable? Is it safe? Or is it just a rolling coffin?
Hear the hard truth from the troops who actually use it in battle."

In technology, we often talk about technical debt — the accumulation of outdated code, fragile systems, and quick fixes that become expensive later. But there’s another kind of debt most security teams carry without realizing it: security culture debt. This is the long-term cost of...

🤖🧠 Breaking news: #AI is still as dumb as a toaster, and just as scary! This riveting, groundbreaking revelation has been generously recycled from 2023, because, you know, nothing screams "timely insights" like #outdated opinions. 📅🔄 Clearly, the only thing evolving at lightning speed is the author's #nostalgia for old drafts. 🎉

Ah, the riveting world of "space-time-coding metasurfaces"—because who doesn't want their #communication systems wrapped in a #sci-fi blanket of jargon? 🚀✨ Meanwhile, Nature.com reminds us that their website's style is as #outdated as Internet Explorer itself. 🕸️💻

So etherpad.wikimedia.org is basically outdated?
V 1.9.7 and "API level" 1.3.0.
So let's take a random one and go for etherpad.mit.edu
Not you too!
V 1.6.5 and API: ??? (worse than I thought!) but they got plugins, wikimedia doesn't!
Ok ethermusic is up to date!
V 2.2.7 and API: 1.3.0
The Foro Italico in #Rome is a monumental sports ground from the time of Italian fascism. Today, people gather here to do sports, jog and play tennis. They are surrounded by huge, absurd-looking sculptures of athletes who represent the toxic ideal of hypermasculinity of fascism. #sculpture #marble #outdated #athlet #bw
@S_Paternotte @GrapheneOS meanwhile I see #OpenAI literally using falsified #UserAgent|s and #DDoS'ing clients at work so hard I have to ban entire ASNs and /10 networks just because they ca't be assed to respect the robots.txt and refuse to accept beibg given 403 errors.
-Needless to say banning #GrapheneOS which are by far the most security-focussed and most diligent in terms of #Aftermarket-#Android-#ROM|s whilst not banning #outdated Android versions is like banning a "#SecureBoot|ed" #UbuntuLTS or #OpenBSD installation and going out of one's way to brick #Wine whilst still supporting #WindowsXP in 2025!
Whoops.
Back on #twitter I had some "piss off Trumpists" accounts. One was called "1930s Reich Family" (the display name was Magda und Detlev). It posted fashy, effusive praise for the worst things Trump and his cronies said and did, in terms that only a true #Nazi #bootlicker would use. I didn't have any followers, but it made me feel a little better.
I was thinking of renewing Magda und Detlev on #mastodon but, the more I think about it, it wouldn't work because
a. That kind of edgy satire might be perceived as actual #fascist content by many people
b. The situation has changed. There's no more consciousness to be raised. Needling posts like 1930sReichFamily's, implying that Trump & co. are actual Nazis would seem glaringly obvious to anyone not in the Trump misinfo bubble and would probably seem like mere statements of support to those wallowing in it.
Yes. this is a good thing for #ITsec to let end-users know if their system runs #outdated / #vulnerable #Microcode and have #Linux update it.
- OFC this can't fix the systemic issues #ix86 & #amd64 have, but I do think this is such a vital thing that I do want to integrate it into @OS1337 as having some low-level diagnostics and means to fix things is literally the point of said distro!
Consider it a more streamlined "Rescue Linux" which is intended to be #reprpduceable, #auditable and small enough to fit on a #BootROM!
#electoralcollege was developed to support emerging territories in the #unitedstates, but both #republicans and #democrats believe the system is #outdated. Here’s “why” and the #solution.

A #PSA for anyone living, staying, entering or even travelling to/from #Australia:
Apparently, #Australia decided to mandate it's #GSM systems to be shutdown because some #GalaxyBrainChair wanted to yeet #2G & #3G and demand everything to use #4G & #5G when in fact #VoLTE support is spotty at best and #EmergencyCalling oftentimes is explicitly hardcoded to not use #WIFIcalling or VoLTE as providing #triangulation and #LocationData via #SS7 is a desired feature when someone calls EMS, Fire Dept or the Police for help...
So essentially #tourists and anyone who hasn't an explicitly fully VoLTE-functional device they tested and verified to also do #EmergencyCalls via VoLTE are fecked with no reception when they need it the most!
This WILL KILL PEOPLE!!!
As much as we want to bitch about #GSM & #GPRS / #UMTS being #outdated and #inefficient, there are reasons to at least keep 2G available - ranging from lower power consumption to higher resilience in emergency situations.
#NewZealand for example does shutdown non-#EmergencyCalls during severe #Earthquakes so that people trapped and/or in need of urgent assistance can get through to dispatch operators and everyone else has to get in line and take a number aka. use #SMS or if existing #Internet to say "I'm fine!"...
If the Ozzies really need that juicy #UHF #SubGHz #Spectrum it's totally feasible to instead change the #allocations and reconfigure #CellularNetworks to use lesser bandwith for 2G (i.e. only keeping the absolute mininum of channels available for any service) and thus clear up space...
And to add insult to injury, Australia passed a #NorthKorea|n-alike #CellPhone #ImportBan for any device that doesn't do i.e. the bespoke proprietary garbage that i.e. #Telstra, #Vodafone and #Optus do with the #baseband modems of their #branded devices...
Seriously, which #TechIlliterate dickhead decided it's a good idea to do that #3Gshutdown in Australia without even a basic 2G network up and running at all?
- At least #Switzerland [AFAIK] still has #3G up and running (tho it would've been wiser to do it like #Germany and keep #2G as emergency fallback with it's functions like #CellBroadcast....
Not too many people liked my dislike of teachers.
