  When people ask me about my (former) career, what I usually tell them:

  I spent 25 years in Tech, enjoyed endless entertainment, and for a while it brought me a pretty decent living. Despite all this, if there were somehow a magical Big Red Button that would erase the Internet from existence (and memory,) I would smash that button without a second’s hesitation.

  A joint team from POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) and Jeonbuk National University has shown that mechanical waves can be fully trapped inside a single solid resonator. Many researchers thought this was "theoretically impossible" in compact systems. The work was published on April 3 in Physical Review Letters and focuses on bound states in the continuum, or BIC, where waves stay trapped and do not lose energy, even though, in a continuum, there are paths for them to escape.

  I note that they don't mention it resisting an angle-grinder for any amount of time. 🤔

  My digital world is free of surveillance

  I dig the sentiment, but here you are posting via ActivityPub which by its very design is not going to be free of surveillance. Corporations are scarfing our comments up to train their shitty LLMs.

  You probably also send other people emails and text, after which you no longer control what happens with your message.
