Looking for the good, the odd, and the hilarious.

oh YES. Since the 1980s, Xerox and Canon made a secret deal with the US Secret Service. every color laser printer now embeds invisible yellow dots on every single page it produces. too small to see with the naked eye. they repeat up to 150 times per page so they survive cropping, damage, even shredding. the dots encode: — your printer's serial number — the exact date and time of printing — the manufacturer no law requires manufacturers to tell you this. most printer manuals don't mention it. you almost certainly didn't know. The first use case was counterfeiting. catching people printing fake money. reasonable. Then, in 2017, Reality Winner printed a classified NSA document and mailed it to journalists. investigators cross-referenced the yellow dots with security footage. she was identified, arrested, and sentenced to 5 years. because there is no law regulating who can request this information. no warrant requirement. no oversight. the EFF has been saying this since 2004 and nothing has changed. you can check if your printer does this. the EFF maintains a list: eff.org/pages/list-pri…





Some bot farms use multiple phones to fake engagement on social media They mass-like and comment to make posts seem more popular. This can mislead algorithms into boosting content that doesn’t have real engagement.



In a world that increasingly yearns for clean eating, as plant-based diets and wellness become the focus for many, the notorious instant noodle market is still projected to grow tremendously. Scientists have an easy explanation for their popularity: addiction. The manufacturers, however, offer another explanation. cnn.it/4fJ1EUj

INSANE 🚨 Michigan election officials were ordered to destroy public election records just 7 days after certification Federal law requires preserving records for 22 months - Nearly 500,000 mismatched votes in Michigan - 90,000 extra absentee ballots in Michigan - 22,534 mismatched votes in Fulton County - Waived signature verification requirement for absentee ballots - Placeholder voter data used in Fulton County - Late-night ballot surges with no chain of custody “That’s a direct violation of U.S. Code Title 52 — This isn’t isolated. It happened in Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and it’s still happening” To give you some context on who’s speaking, this is Patrick Colbeck. He’s a former Michigan State Senator so he knows what he’s talking about He even served on as Vice Chair of Elections and Government Reform Committee

Microsoft is losing hundreds of dollars on every Xbox Series X and Series S console it sells right now because memory prices have gone up by 700% since the consoles were first made. Xbox did not buy enough memory at the old lower prices, so making each console now costs a lot more. They raised the price of the Series X from 500 dollars to 600 dollars. Even so, they are still losing money on every console they sell.


THE MOUNTAIN THAT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS LEFT BEHIND BY ANOTHER WORLD 🌎☁️ Hidden above the clouds, where the jungle stretches endlessly below, stands a mountain so strange that it feels almost impossible to be real. This is Mount Roraima, one of the oldest geological formations on Earth, rising at the meeting point of Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana. Its giant flat summit and towering cliffs look less like a mountain and more like a forgotten island floating above the rainforest. For millions of years, this ancient stone giant has stood untouched by time. Mist constantly surrounds its peak, waterfalls spill from its edges, and the isolated landscape holds plants and species found nowhere else on Earth. Scientists believe its unique environment is like a living window into the distant past. But Mount Roraima still keeps many secrets. Early explorers described it as a place that felt like another world, and its mysterious cliffs inspired legends of lost lands and hidden worlds beyond human reach. Standing before its massive walls, it is hard not to wonder: how many stories are still locked inside this ancient mountain? What secrets have survived on a summit that has watched the Earth change for millions of years? Mount Roraima is more than a mountain — it is a reminder that our planet still has places where nature remains wild, mysterious, and almost untouched by time. 🏔️✨

He suffered five broken ribs and a severe abdominal wound, then turned to prescription painkillers, triggering a two-year relapse into alcohol and amphetamine use.
