  • Looks like there’s a metasploit available. You can use that on your router to see if it’s susceptible. A quick google search indicates that this is only successful on older routers without input validation.

    In general, follow good cyber security hygiene, and update the firmware on your router. If your router no longer is supported by the vendor (no more firmware updates for vulnerabilities found), then it’s old and you should upgrade.


  • Gloves, long sleeves, and pants. You’ll need pull the roots out, or you’ll be “pruning” the poison more often than you’d want.

    Poison ivy doesn’t like well manicured areas. If you’re walking through property that’s owned by others, I’ll make an assumption that you have permission. I’d talk to the owner and ask if you can take a weed whacker to the area around the path when it gets overgrown. Do that enough to keep it from overgrowing and it might find a new direction to grow.





  • I was going to try to explain it, but realized I’m not very good at calling menus and such their proper names. So whatever I tell you wouldn’t be very helpful.

    Apple also has a YouTube video that’s about 5 minutes long. The article is probably faster.

    I’m not a power user, so I don’t use the majority of features on my phone. I generally set my “do not disturb” at bedtime. It allows calls through from my favorite contact list and my morning alarm. I have friends that set focus time and they love it.

    Edit to add to the conversation. I disable all notifications, except for things I really want: calls, FaceTime, texts and to update my food diary if I haven’t done so before 2pm.

    When I need to use Uber, I just keep watch on the app. I guess I’m a bit of a psychopath. But when I’m waiting for a car, I like to watch it move on the map. There’s nothing else I would use that would need me to have a notification.














  • My sarcastic comment is Isn’t that implied in the designator “forever chemical”?

    But my real response is: The article doesn’t say. And I’m all for a healthy dose of skepticism. Does forever really mean forever? Or do the people studying this just not actually know yet? I’m fairly ignorant on the actual research on this.

    I’d love to read a study explains it. I’ve only read stories like this. They outline we have a problem, and the more articles I read on PFAS, they seem pretty unavoidable. I was reading one that basically said it’s in our rain as well, so even the paper straws you get at restaurants contain them.
