the potential always exists that someone in the group may be infectious

Mark Gurman donosi, że Apple może nie wprowadzić na rynek w tym tygodniu oczekiwanej liczby odświeżonych akcesoriów z USB-C. Na nowe iPady także jeszcze poczekamy.
W najnowszym odcinku podcastu „The MacRumors Show” Gurman powiedział, że Apple nie zaprezentuje żadnych nowych modeli iPadów podczas jutrzejszego Apple Event, ale ma skupiać się wyłącznie na zegarkach Apple nowej generacji i iPhone’ach.
Gurman powiedział, że trwają prace nad nowym iPadem Air z ulepszoną specyfikacją i być może zadebiutuje on podczas październikowego Apple Event.
Gurman uważa, że w październiku odbędzie się kolejna premiera produktów Apple, podczas której zobaczymy:
- nowego iPada Air,
- nowego iPad mini,
- nowego iMaca z procesorem Apple M3.
Nowe akcesoria z USB-C
Jutro Gurman spodziewa się premiery kilku nowych akcesoriów z portem USB-C. Od dawna spekuluje się, że Apple może zaprezentować jutro nowe etui ładujące dla słuchawek AirPods, nową wersję AirPods Max oraz – nowy MagSafe Duo z USB-C. Okazuje się, że z tej listy tylko ostatni produkt mamy szansę jutro zobaczyć.
Bloomberg donosi, że firma nie zdąży odświeżyć w tym roku linii słuchawek AirPods. Jeżeli tak się stanie, w co wątpię, to słuchawki AirPods Max, które nie były aktualizowane od czasu ich debiutu w 2019 r., będą najdroższym produktem w portfolio słuchawek firmy i jednocześnie takim, który nie obsługuje nowych funkcji, które zadebiutują wraz z iOS 17.

2. "The sheer quantity of chemicals being dumped into the environment is quickly growing. UNEP counted the annual release of toxic chemicals in 2006 at 6 million tons, but Worldometer estimates the current release at 10 million tons—a 67% increase in a little over a decade.
Perhaps the most frightening biological impact of many endocrine-disrupting chemicals is their tendency to alter #DNA expression in ways that can be inherited by subsequent generations. It’s long been known that #environmental factors (#food, #air, #water) can cause genes to be switched off or on, or dial their expression up or down. Sometimes the effects are transgenerational, and continued presence of chemicals in the environment can amplify biological impacts from one generation to the next."

Stop logging native forests in a climate and biodiversity emergency Pt 1
Logging NSW native forests - How is the air pollution and greenhouse pollution monitored?
Logging operations by NSW State Forestry involve road enlargements lasting months before the actual extraction takes place. The forests paths are trailblazed to push the huge and heavy machinery into biodiversity habitats. All this is done with fossil fuel-powered heavy-duty vehicles and machinery. These actions contribute to the emission and/or creation of health-harming air pollutants and greenhouse gases.
“Heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) disproportionately contribute to the creation of air pollutants and emission of greenhouse gases—with marginalized populations unequally burdened by the impacts of each.”
Traffic-related pollution leads to premature deaths through direct air pollution.
“Traffic-related pollution can trigger a variety of health problems, including asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, heart disease and ultimately premature death. Air pollution from heavy-duty vehicles is higher in urban settings, in areas close to interstate highways and along truck routes.”
Climate disruption leads to weather extremes and disasters (bushfires, floods, drought and heatwaves) All involves human suffering, and impoverishing the web of biodiversity.
These 'extras' or externalities are not on any balance sheet. The robbing of habitat and the associated impacts on residents and wildlife deminish the web of life.
There seems to be no monitoring of the pollution cause inside wildlife habitats, the human habitat (Bellingen/ Gleniffer homes) and the global atmosphere. (Climate Change Detection and Attribution)

The idea of getting #judges to enforce this guarantee in more places is not unreasonable. Governments would merely be held to promises they’ve already made.

@bigzaphod @dldnh I added a Sensiron SCD-40 sensor to an “electronic conference badge” I assembled. This sensor also seems very accurate and was similarly eye-opening. (Opening windows for part of a day this summer has helped my headaches a lot.) If you’re into DIY/electronics/home automation, may be able to buy and put together good components more cheaply. I want to tie something like this into Home Assistant.
I’m also considering whole home air exchange now.
Where are the public shelters from fire, heat, smoke and floods?
Our relentless combustion of fossil fuels and a government hell-bent on logging native forests will set people and wildlife up having to deal with fires, smoke, heat and floods increasingly.
Where are the cooling centers, heat shelters, fire shelters, smoke shelters?

#Chemical companies’ #PFAS payouts are huge – but the problem is even bigger
#3M, #DuPont, #Chemours and #Corteva have agreed settlement in the billions for #polluting drinking #water with ‘forever chemicals’
by Tom Perkins, Aug 3, 2023
"“When the chemical giant 3M agreed in early June to pay up to $12.5bn to settle a lawsuit over PFAS contamination in water systems across the nation, it was hailed by attorneys as 'the largest drinking water settlement in American history', and viewed as a significant win for the public in the battle against toxic 'forever chemicals'.
“A second June settlement with the PFAS manufacturers DuPont, Chemours and Corteva tallied a hefty $1.1bn. But while the sums are impressive on their face, they represent just a fraction of the estimated $400bn some estimate will be needed to clean and protect the nation’s drinking water. Orange county, California, alone put the cost of cleaning its system at $1bn.
“‘While over a billion dollars is real money, it is a virtual drop in the bucket of potential utility costs to monitor, remove and dispose of these contaminants in accordance with anticipated federal regulations,' the American Municipal Water Association trade group said in a statement.
“Moreover, the two settlements include just over 6,000 water systems nationwide. Utilities that were not part of the suits but have PFAS in their systems can claim some of the settlement money, or they can sue the chemical manufacturers on their own.
“That means the settlements only represent the first wave of utility lawsuits to hit #ChemicalManufacturers, legal observers say. Because PFAS are so widely used and the scale of their harm is so great, chemical makers will get hit from a range of legal angles, and some suspect the industry’s final bill could exceed the $200bn paid by #BigTobacco in the 1990s.
“The number will be 'very large', said Kevin McKie, an attorney with the Environmental Litigation Group who represented a water management company in the 3M case. Though the 3M settlement does not cover all the nation’s costs, it is a strong start, he added.
“‘A good settlement is one where both sides walk away a bit frustrated’ is the old saying,' McKie said. 'Of course I would have liked a bit more money but I do believe they got as much as they could at this time, and there’s a lot more to go.'
“PFAS are a class of about 15,000 compounds used to make products across dozens of industries resistant to water, stains and heat. They are called 'forever chemicals' because they do not naturally break down, and are linked to #cancer, #KidneyDisease, #liver conditions, #immune disorders, #BirthDefects and other health problems.
“The chemicals are thought to be contaminating drinking water for over 200 million Americans. Tens of thousands of contaminated #PrivateWells are not included in the settlement. The chemicals are also widely used in thousands of consumer products from #DentalFloss to #cookware to #clothing, and have been found to #contaminate #food, #soil and #air.
“PFAS constantly cycle and accumulate throughout the environment, and removing them from water is costly. The highly mobile chemicals can slip through most utilities’ filtration systems. Granular activated carbon and reverse osmosis are considered the best options.
“Leaders in Stuart, Florida, which was the bellwether case in the 3M settlement, chose to take what they could get without further litigation. Bellwethers are cases that represent all the other plaintiffs in a multi-district lawsuit. Stuart estimated damages at up to $120m, and the city acknowledged the settlement would fall short.
“‘I don’t think we’ll ever get close to that much net to the city, so I think there is no making us whole,' Stuart’s city manager told the New York Times.
“Among those utilities going at it alone is the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) near Wilmington, North Carolina, which sits on the #CapeFear River about 75 miles downstream from a Chemours PFAS manufacturing plant. It cost the utility about $46m to develop a granular activated carbon system to remove PFAS, and officials estimate an additional $5m in annual operational costs.
“The utility declined to comment, citing ongoing litigation, but in a late June op-ed, the CFPUA director Kenneth Waldrop explained the motivation for not joining the settlements: 'The information currently available suggests that the proposed settlement, when divided among thousands of other utilities with similar needs, would be insufficient to meet the needs of our community.'
“The utility has a 'strong case' against Chemours which has the reserves to cover the full cost, Waldrop added. There is generally support for that approach among Wilmington-area residents, said Emily Donovan, a public health advocate who lives in the region.
“‘This is not our fault, but it has been made our problem, and the community mostly understands what’s going on,' she said.
“The settlements also drew unlikely opponents in 22 state attorneys general who urged the judge to reject the 3M settlement because it 'does not adequately account for the pernicious damage that 3M has done in so many of our communities', said the California attorney general, Rob Bonta.
“Beyond water utility settlements, chemical makers face personal injury suits. Most US states will also probably sue over #contamination of #lakes, #rivers and other #NaturalResources #Minnesota alone found eliminating PFAS contamination from its wastewater could run to $28bn.
“Local water systems that are not made whole will need help from the federal government, which 'basically abandoned public water infrastructure a long time ago', said Oday Salim, director of the Environmental Law and Sustainability Clinic at the University of Michigan.
“‘Any amount of money that gets shifted to the victims is helpful,' he added.
“The government could implement an excise tax on PFAS to help cover costs, McKie said, and he noted the chemical manufacturers are taking a significant hit. By some estimates, 3M’s PFAS liabilities may soar to as much as $30bn as claims roll in.
“‘That’s a pretty big chunk of the total size of their corporation,' McKie said."

NORTHLAND FORECAST FOR JULY 25, 2023:
#Air #quality #alerts will continue across the #Northland Monday night and Tuesday due to #wildfire #smoke from Canada. Conditions will slowly improve throughout the day.
After a dry night, isolated #showers and #thunderstorms return Tuesday. A few could be strong or #severe. The day will also begin a short #heatwave with some highs in the 90s.
VIDEO: https://www.fox21online.com/2023/07/24/monday-evening-northland-forecast-7-24-2023/
It's #dry in the #Northland so far this Sunday, but it's not a #sunny day for the region.
Persistent northwest #winds have brought back #wildfire #smoke from Canada, creating quite the #haze in the sky and surface.
#Air #Quality Alert is in effect through Monday afternoon for the #Minnesota side of the region. Biggest impact will be to those with pre-existing breathing issues, as well as the young and old.

I'll just leave this here without any commentary.
The air quality here is terrible today. I suspect it is terrible where you are too... if not today, probably some day soon. Because this is the new normal. 😑
If you don't already have a good quality air purifier for your home, might I recommend making a Corsi-Rosenthal box? They're cheaper and better than most commercially available purifiers.
I made 3 today. One for my house, one for my parents, and one for my sister. They're pretty easy to put together in about 45 min.

‘It was an accident’: the scientists who have turned humid air into renewable power
The promise of #electricity from humid #air – #hygroelectricity – is capturing researchers’ imaginations.
In May, a team at the University of Massachusetts Amherst published a paper declaring they had successfully generated a small but continuous electric current from humidity in the air.
“To be frank, it was an #accident,” says the study’s lead author, Prof Jun Yao. “We were actually interested in making a simple sensor for humidity in the air. But for whatever reason, the student who was working on that #forgot to plug in the #power.”
#Milwaukee #Wisconsin area residents do not spend unnecessary time outside #air quality is rated as #dangerous for everyone.

i had a dream that someone edited the code on my page https://www.sloanslake.art in such a way that the css code was in the main text and then when i loaded it this morning i thought the dream was coming true and that someone had edited the page, but it was just taking time for the images to load.
but then i went and edited the code to make it true and screen shotted it and put it on mastodon.
an important point in the #dream was the yellow font. so this is a yellow font pointing at itself via self-replicating #css code. we use the five elements of #cybermagic for the full replication, and these are:
#FIRE: #JAVASCRIPT
#AETHER: #PHP
#AIR: #CSS
#WATER: #HTML
#EARTH: #GEOMETRON
replicate the set with a box cutter, a ruler, and a sharpie using piles of #cardboard #trash.
“Yet, if you enter the woods Of a summer evening late, When the night-air cools on the trout-ringed pools Where the otter whistles his mate, (They fear not men in the woods, Because they see so few.) You will hear the beat of a horse’s feet, And the swish of a skirt in the dew, Steadily cantering through The misty solitudes , As though they perfectly knew The old lost road through the woods. But there is no road through the woods.”
From R. Kipling’s ‘The Way through the Woods’
SafeGraph Lands US Air Force Contract After Targeting Abortion Clinics
The #data #broker made famous for #selling #location #data related to #abortion #clinic visits has signed a #contract with the US #Air #Force and plans to provide information about “sensitive places” and “adversary state-owned enterprises” around the world, according to records obtained by WIRED. The company, #SafeGraph, told the military that its data can be used for “analyzing human activity for landing zone selection,” as well as to identify hospitals, schools, and houses of worship to “help avoid collateral damage.”

What if we familiarized ourselves with the land, the #water, the #air, all of their resident life forms, and tried them on in our #imagination, felt as them, became them?
What if we could cross over from our delusion of separateness into the reality of our connectedness?
What if we were skilled in applying our learning to the intrapersonal and interpersonal realms of self-understanding, social understanding, and the challenges of living in #community with human and non-human beings?
