Ghobashy

I just solved the strangest tech problem I've ever come across. My wifi kept dropping packets, confirmed by ping. It would look something like the first image (packets dropping, then it comes back to life). After a while the connection would just stop working completely and drop all packets. If I turned my wifi off and on again, it would resume working normally. I thought this was a problem with my router, cables or ISP, so I went through the usual troubleshooting processes: checking settings, swapping cables, powercycling, etc. nothing worked. Eventually I started noticing that it would only happen when I sat in my office. I was taking a video meeting and it kept dropping segments of audio, making it hard to understand the other person. I unplugged my laptop from my monitor + keyboard because I wanted to try walking into another room. Immediately, the video started working perfectly. I thought it was because I was a few steps closer to my router - but that didn't really make sense because the router had always worked fine from that location. I started thinking about what I'd changed in my desk setup recently, the only thing I could think of was when I changed from using a USB-C <-> DP cable for my monitor, to using a HDMI <-> HDMI cable. I tried plugging my screen back in. Immediately, the packets started dropping. I unplugged it, the dropping stopped. It turns out my HDMI cable doesn't have enough shielding, so it was jamming my own WiFi signal with radio frequency interference 🤯 I unrolled the HDMI cable that was sitting behind my laptop and draped the main length of the cord down behind my desk, and now my internet works perfectly. Apparently this is a fairly common issue?!

Soon after the explosion in Rafah, I’m told by a source familiar, the White House and Pentagon knew that the incident was caused by an Israeli settler bulldozer running over unexploded ordnance — contradicting Netanyahu’s claim that Hamas had popped up from tunnels. After Netanyahu said he was blocking all aid from entering Gaza in response, and unleashed a bombing campaign, the administration conveyed to Israel that they know what happened. Netanyahu then announced he would re-open the crossings in a few hours.

「手足を縛られたままの、火傷の痕のある、戦車に踏み潰された、拷問の痕跡のある、骨を折られた…等々とされる身元不明の方々の袋に入った遺体」の返還。もしこれがパレスチナ人じゃなかったら、大ニュース、大問題になるはずだろう。ここにもみられる人命や尊厳の軽視・無視のまなざしと非人間化。

JUST IN: Netanyahu has been diagnosed with non-threatening bronchitis. His personal physician has advised him to rest, leading him to cancel his ongoing corruption trial testimony at the Tel Aviv Court.
