I'll add something:
For the DNS I use NextDNS. They allow for control and monitoring. I recommend not using the block page. It took me months to figure out what was (exactly - I didn't see the app behave like that before) eating my data, but resolving to IP with different service makes certain apps go nuts. For example, NetMonster was trying to make connection every second. Also some apps don't seem to care about HTTPS and just proceed to show whatever is shoved at them.
Without block page, they get 0.0.0.0 and won't send garbage to NextDNS.
I used the RethinkDNS firewall app to track this down.
I checked my screenshots, it was 2.3KB per request. With 24/7 on data, that's 5.9GB/month of garbage. Yikes. And that's just 1 app.
For DPI, above or equal to 600, you get tablet UI. This changes layout of some apps and gives you app icons and app drawer next to navigation buttons, if you're not using gestures. I usually use 705dp. A bit of extreme for most.
Oh, and reportedly high DPI settings used to cause boot loop on some MIUI devices, but it can cause glitches on some other devices (broken navigation on Moto G54 5G when I tried).
Because that's far harder to use, and this can turn it from impossible to possible. Though it should be marked as AI (and art from humans should be credited too if not OC).
The idea is still someone's.
I remember crying on the toilet for at least 30 minutes when I was a kid. My pee was red-ish, my poop was red. I thought I was bleeding from everywhere.
My father finally got out from me why I was crying for so long, and explained that, yes, it is indeed related to the 2 jars of pickled beets I ate.
I usually get highlighter yellow pee after eating baguettes with chicken strips.
Probably not related, but that's something too.
Hey, so I wasn't that weird as a kid.
I don't know at what event that happens, but at certain times people go to a church and get bunch of things blessed. Bread, bibles, crucifixes, rosary beads, etc
Well, I brought in a calculator. Didn't help, I am still bad at math.
Only during transit.
When I was on ADHD meds I was just sleepy. All the time. Sleeping during classes was worse, so that was the last time I had any meds.
I only remember my ereyesterday's dream. A bit weird.
There was a war, against people past a hill. We fought with old muskets and knives. Sort of. Those muskets could be loaded 5 times in advance, and shoot 5 shots.
I've enjoyed killing. It filled me with joy seeing a bullet go through someone's head or chest. We ran out of bullets, I picked up another musket that still had 2. Went back to the hill, firing both shots. Then I again went down and picked a large cleaver. Ready to chop into any enemy at arm distance, I ran back.
An enemy was at reach, when all of a sudden, the war has ended.
I couldn't get over it. My purpose was to kill, to slash, to shoot, now it was over. I had no purpose, all I ever could do was gone. No more killing.
I don't know what to make out of it.
That's about as good as e-mail address. Bank account number is somewhere you can send to.
Maybe, though I am not sure, someone could create a request for Direct Debit payment, but without authorization that's all it is, "please give money".

20 year old Russian man fined for searching "Azov brigade" and looking at images on Google
(novayagazeta.eu)
According to the prosecution, Glukhikh searched for pictures of Azov insignia on Google while he was on the bus on the morning of 24 September, though how the security forces had been made aware of the search was not disclosed.
The case materials include an image of Glukhikh’s phone lying on the table, clearly displaying the search query he is accused of making.
Bruh...

How do I not kill my Iomega ZIP drive I just got? (The experiences I've heard of scare me)
(files.catbox.moe)
So, I got this. But I also know these things aren't the most reliable and I am really paranoid about breaking it, and there's some suspicious things.
First, it feels cheap, especially the USB port on the back feels like it wants to break off.
Second, and quite worrying, when I first got it, it was clicking and not reading disks. Slower when I held it with the opening towards the top, faster with opening towards bottom. I thought it was dead, when eventually after a few retries it started working. Now, this was faster clicking, especially fast shortly before it started working, so perhaps it was just stuck.
On the other hand, I found this: https://www.grc.com/tip/codfaq2.htm
Most users who have lost their crucial data tell the same sad story of hearing "those clicks" some time ago "but then they went away and everything seemed okay for a while."
Now, 2 of the disks also had some smaller issues. One had trouble loading. Formatting it seems to have fixed the issue. Maybe. I used fdisk so it left out the first 1MB.
The second loads fine, but doesn't seem to like writing. It seems to do it in bursts, and it is audible. There's also 2 sections where it produces a buzz, both on read and write.
Here's an audio sample from continuous (one file) write to that disk:

Current ideas
Checking disks for damages by pulling back the metal cover and rotating the disk manually, looking for stuff like this: https://www.grc.com/tip/codfaq4.htm or anything suspicious (the white cloth inside is too close and hairy for my liking).
Peeking into the drive to check for head damage and dirt.
Treating it like I treat running HDDs (do not unpower without parked heads, avoiding movement and vibrations), and generally being careful even when off (avoiding drops).
Approximately EUR 8 including shipping. Still sealed (probably - if not re-sealed).
There's definitely some more stuff in the box like a manual and driver disc that I can hear moving around. After all, the boxes are fairly large compared to what you'd get today.
I'd want to unpack them... but I also don't because they survived so long. I don't know. Maybe if I'll get yet another one...
Here's a look at the entire box:
Specs:
Bluetooth 1.2 Class 1
USB 1.1
Minimum requirements:
300MHz CPU
128MB RAM
Windows 98SE
So what about the Class 1?
Typically the devices you use are Class 2 with Tx power of up to 2.5mW and range of around 10m.
Class 1 can go up to 100mW with range of around 100m. Assuming both ends are same class. Otherwise you're just causing more interference on 2.4GHz.

It also has an external antenna giving it some cool factor.
Bought online for EUR 22.
At first I got worried because it was just clicking. I thought I got one with the click of death, But after some 15 minutes of several retries, it got quieter and eventually started loading disks.
Curiosity killed the cat. I was curious to see what's on them:
The ones on left had no files, the 2 on right did. Mostly the F disk. The top one had some program called powerdvd 4.
On the F one, photorec found some TTF files (fonts), exe files, 4 second videos of motorcycle speeding up and fireworks, CompCore Multimedia inc. SoftPeg bitmap banner, and some random TXT files with variables and program descriptions.
Stored undeleted were game saves of following games: Etherlords, Gorasul, Hooligans, Operation Flashpoint (incl. exe), Renegade, Sacrifice, Serious Sam - The second encounter
There were also some spreadsheets with lists of games, and of course RAR archive with colection of generic porn.
The only interesting file is spreadsheet with list of compenents for a "new computer". Most files were dates around 2002.

I lied, there's no Netflix.
Instead I have a local Jellyfin server with twenty terabytes of pirated media.
Found being sold online.
Just like a week ago it still took up to 2 days with some instances.

When searching something online, I already many times came across AI written articles being quite high. So now it's possible LLM will just cite another LLM which got its content from an LLM written response on Reddit.
