Ordered by a Brazilian Supreme Court justice to block access to popular accounts that say things inconvenient to the leftist regime, Elon Musk has responded: Fuck you. (MSN)

A particular post separately ordered taken down by Australia's own radical left wing censor-in-chief - who is an imported American that you guys can take back at any time - remains invisible, but that had the usual Streisand affect and reposted screenshots of it are all over the place, and have not been restricted at all.

Musk is an imperfect defender of our liberties, but I'll give him credit when he gets it right.

AMD might be coming out with a AM5+ platform following Ryzen 5. (Tom's Hardware)

AMD has done this before with the transition from AM2 to AM3: It means that Ryzen 6 needs new motherboard support that current AM5 motherboards can't provide, so there will be an in-between design that maintains compatibility, most likely this:

AM5 supports Zen 4 and 5.
AM5+ supports Zen 5 and 6.
AM6 support Zen 6 and later.

Not officially confirmed yet and we don't know if AM5+ will appear with Zen 5, or later.
OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Meta "stole" content to train their AI platforms. (Thurrott)

Roku has patented a method to display ads on anything you plug into a Roku device. (Ars Technica)

There's a disease prevalent among Tasmanian devils that causes facial tumours. It is only transmissible if one devil bites another on the face; unfortunately, they do that all the time.

Roku basically wants to give you Digital Devil Facial Tumour Disease.

Disclaimer: There's a breeding colony of Tasmanian devils in New South Wales now, established from individuals cleared of the disease. So they're probably safe.

So, that USB stick that we plug into our Roku TV for 'pause' and 'rewind' functions, should never be plugged into anything else, right?

25 Mornin'

I have a Roku stick plugged into an old flat screen TV. I like my Roku stick. Whenever that old TV dies, I'll probably replace it with its modern equivalent. It's an RCA my late BiL bought at Walmart. I can do that. Not sure what advantages a Roku TV has over the Roku stick and I'm not sure I care.

Morning, Puddleglum!

We have both... not much difference, really.

I bought the Roku tv because it was the right size, cheap & hubby was nearly bedridden at that time. We had no cable wire going to his room. Wireless was the only way to go, but didn't have a roku 'stick' yet OR spare tv. Cash & carry!

Later, I ordered a roku stick for big tv in living room. Could not find one in any local store at that time.

Elon has kind of stayed in the middle while the left has gone so far to the left they're on the edge of a cliff. Nobody with half a brain left is following them over the edge.

100 Cannon wondered aloud about Trump’s thinking and how he could have expected the same treatment. Cannon asked Bratt if it was “reasonably foreseeable” for Trump to expect to avoid prosecution given the statute’s history and his purview as the “original classification authority” over presidential papers.

Bratt further clarified that the alleged crime took place the moment Trump left office, prompting Cannon to again suggest different treatment between Trump and Biden. “[Then] wouldn't that have been applicable to other officials who, I think, it's undisputed have possessed classified information post-presidency, and done so through willful actions?”

Hey Judge FYI Biden was not President.

Trusting that the medication which the doctor provided will provide relief for spouse's shingles.

Approaching sunrise is glorious with pink clouds and a blaze of gold as the sun gets ready to rise.

Saw a fox up the road. (I like foxes)

Grateful for our being to set up spouse's art show at the library.
