Voyager 1, launched in 1977, will reach 1 light-day from Earth this year in November. Voyager 1 has been flying for nearly 50 years at 38,000 mph. One light day means radio signals traveling at the speed of light take 24 hours to reach it. When engineers send a command to Voyager 1, they wait two full days for a response one day out, one day back. Voyager 1 was launched in 1977 powered by a plutonium RTG that generates roughly 4 watts of usable power today less than an LED bulb. On that power budget it is transmitting data across 24 light hours of interstellar space to a 70 meter antenna on Earth. It has now traveled farther from Earth than any human made object in history, moving at 17km per second, and it still calls home every day. The most distant thing humanity has ever touched is a 47 year-old spacecraft running on 4 watts, and we can still hear it.

If your parents are 65 and above, please listen. They are not going to tell you they are running out of time. That is not how they were built. They will wave you off, say they are fine, tell you not to worry, because they spent a lifetime protecting you from hard truths and they are still doing it now. But time is not asking their permission. Look closely the next time you see them, really look. The hands that once seemed so capable, the voice that used to fill a room, the eyes that still light up the moment you walk in, because you walking in is still, after all these years, one of the best parts of their day. You are so busy becoming while they are quietly diminishing, and both things are happening at the same time and nobody talks about it. The repeated stories are not a malfunction. They are what mattered most to them, they are trying to pass something to you before they go, so receive it. One day you will be mid-sentence and suddenly remember the exact way they laughed, and it will stop you cold, and you would trade almost anything to hear it one more time in real time, not just in memory. That day is coming, you do not know when. So call, not when you have time, because you do not have time, nobody does, but call anyway, visit anyway, sit in the quiet with them and let it mean something. Give them your presence while they can still feel it, not later. Now.

When a database is leaked its usually only the hashed response to the password, not the actual password. So they will run offline brute force attacks on the hash. The longer and more complex the password, harder it is to crash the hash. Most wont even try on hashes longer then 8-10 chars because its exponentially harder

That sigh your dog just did? It’s 16,000 years old. Two studies published this week in Nature pushed back the genetic record of dog domestication by 5,000 years, detaching it entirely from the story of farming. The humans who first lived with dogs had no fields, no livestock, no permanent address. They were ice-age nomads, moving constantly across a frozen continent, and they had dogs with them anyway. Not for agriculture. Not for herding. Just because somewhere along the way, a wolf that wasn’t quite a wolf anymore sat down next to a human fire and stayed. The particular way your dog presses against your leg when something feels wrong, positions itself with a sightline to the door, watches you without watching you – that’s not a quirk. That’s a collaboration 16,000 years in the making, running without interruption through every plague, empire, and revolution since. Dogs are great. I love my dog. 🐕 Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@Osint613 This is childish

Two new posts made by the White House:

In a world where artificial intelligence can replicate a person’s voice or face in seconds, Denmark is stepping forward with a groundbreaking proposal: a copyright law that grants every citizen ownership of their own likeness. If passed, this law would mean no one — not even AI companies — could legally use your face, voice, or body data without consent. The move comes amid growing global concerns about deepfakes, where digital replicas of real people are used in scams, misinformation, and even political manipulation.

Can’t wait to forget this when I actually need it

Charging a fee to pay a bill online when there isn't a way to pay in person or with cash is a scam.

The Day Your Parents Stop Being Your Parents Let me say this….Most people don’t realize this until it’s too late. Your parents are slowly becoming human. Not “Dad the provider” or “Mum the protector” but simply two people getting tired, getting older, and getting quieter with time. The same people who once carried you like you were the most important thing in the world will one day start hiding their pain so they don’t become your burden. There will be a day your father repeats the same story, because time is slowly taking things from him. There will be a day your mother calls you just to hear your voice, because loneliness has started sitting beside her. And the painful part is this….. You will be busy……Busy building your life, chasing money, trying to become someone. Meanwhile, the people who made you someone are quietly fading into the background of your life. We talk a lot about leaving home and becoming independent, but nobody tells you this truth. Independence should never mean emotional distance. Growing up should not mean growing away. Call them now…..visit them also sit with them without rushing. Because one day, you won’t be managing your time around them anymore. You will be wishing for one more conversation you didn’t think mattered. Just thought of telling you guys this

My first EVER Loremaster of an expansion. I've changed how I play WoW in Midnight. I'm playing the game for ME and not anyone else. I'm engaging with the content how *I* want. In the past I unfortunately let people dictate how I spend my time in the game, but no more.

POPULAR OPINION: Not every gamer wants competition. Some of us just want a peaceful grind and a good story.

In Dallas 🏡 Late one evening, three burglars quietly broke into a large, beautiful house in an upscale neighborhood. When the homeowner walked into the living room and saw them, she froze. The tallest one raised his hand calmly and said, “Relax, ma’am. We’re not here to trash your place and we’re definitely not here to hurt you. Just take a seat and bring us the cash and jewelry you’ve got.” Nervous but trying to stay calm, she went upstairs and returned with stacks of money and a handful of jewelry. 💵💎 The leader looked through it and then said, “Now how about that big diamond ring your husband gave you last Christmas?” Surprised, she hesitated, then quietly went and got the ring. 💍 He nodded and continued, “Next, we’ll take that designer watch your sister brought you back from Paris.” Her eyes filled with tears, but she went and brought it down. ⌚ Then the man glanced toward the kitchen. “Also… mind making us some of that fancy coffee from your new espresso machine?” ☕ Shaking, she made the coffee. After finishing their cups, the burglar grinned and added, “And if you don’t mind… that pineapple cake you baked yesterday looked pretty good too.” She brought them a slice. As the men prepared to leave, the woman finally asked, “I have to know… how did you know about all these things in my house?” The leader adjusted his mask and chuckled. “Ma’am… you accepted our friend requests on Facebook. We’ve been seeing your posts, photos, and updates for months.” 📱😆 Lesson of the story: Maybe don’t post everything you own online… You never know who’s reading. 😄

@Y2John84 lol. There wasn’t an internet in 1963. Nooooob.

This broke the internet in 1963.

I'm a pretty casual gamer. Have way too busy of a life to obsess over it. But I have always loved World of Warcraft. Stereotyped as a game for nerds, not true. Mind bogglingly huge, fully explorable world, full of real players, incredible environments. Work of art.
