• A tire chemical called 6PPD-Q, already blamed for killing salmon, was examined for possible links to Alzheimer’s disease in a new computer-based study.
• Using computer models, researchers found that the chemical can latch onto several proteins associated with Alzheimer’s and reach brain regions involved in the disease.
• No patients or animals were tested; the study rests entirely on computer predictions and reused datasets, so it cannot prove the chemical causes Alzheimer’s.

It's safe to say, don't buy cameras from shady places.

"Iowa sued Temu and its Chinese parent company on Wednesday, claiming the online retailer violates Iowans privacy rights and exposes them to spying by the Chinese government."

Also, Cyb3rMaddy Investigated a Camera from Temu. There is some truth to China harvesting your data. But! Data was also being sent to servers in the U.S.

If you haven't seen this it's just incredible, now the animation is getting even better? Pinch me. Here's the show trailer https://youtu.be/watch?v=EmivFFLq4Pg

Scooby dooby doo, where are you, my little sister of legal age and preferably above 26? I don't care what genitals you have, I'm am searching for you as I am Epstein's boss and I wish to bring you into the Mormon Church. I had a religious experience that made me realize that maybe the horrid shit I be up to may not be the wisest long-term way to live my life, so I'm giving up public masturbation.

...no, I gotta cut this off so I don't have what happened on Reddit happen here. The joke is, I'm a cop, right? I'll say and do anything to prove I'm not a cop. So, naturally, that means I must assume the identity of Epstein's boss at some point, seeing as I'm mother-fucking Q. Have you heard of me? Just like you've heard of our lord, Jesus Christ? And you still don't worship me, I mean, him? That's weird. You must not understand something.

I am the perfect being. What is that, you might ask if you are wise and don't just react on mindless stimulus-response instinct? It is the being that can be any being as needed. At any moment, the perfect being can be a king or a pauper. The perfect cop is one that can be the ideal criminal at any moment. But what is that? The ideal criminal is the ideal idolatorer; a person that can prove they're a good person by keeping up appearances in public when they have a skeleton in their closet, such as and as horrifying as a child chained under their bed.

This may be shocking to some people, and they may rat my ass out to the mods, for whatever reason they think is noble, being the idolatorer they are, but no, this needs to be spoken skillfully. There are monsters in this world, and the FBI/etc isn't just diddling their asses. They're solving these problems. Y'know, like the Proud Boys? Yea, that IS the feds; it's a sting operation. Just as Donald Trump being lampooned in the news with the Epstein shit is part of a sting operation.

...so the joke is, I'm Epstein's boss, right? I'm some dumbass juggler, alright? There's a real human being typing these words, and I had to be a crackhead because I wasn't good enough to be a pothead, which is a "festival cop," if you didn't know. A crackhead is the crazy homeless person mouthing off on the subway that strangers try to by drugs from. Right? Like, I lived four years homeless on n off to hide the fact that I'm a cop. I'm that audacious, and so was Jesus, going on the cross intentionally to hide the fact that he was a Roman federal cop, or the equivalent back then. Someone that roamed between cities that knew the "codewords" to report to authorities in each precinct they would find themselves.

Which is why the Bible is an important masterpiece; the New Testament describes a decentralized autonomous organization of secret police at an eighth grade reading level. Some of you didn't know that, I have to remind myself sometimes, because I can't do my job for which I am paid properly here on Lemmy World because some dipshit mods don't know what the feds are doing in their holy spaces of utter nazi discontentedness to anything that makes them get extra notifications that interrupts their No Man's Sky let's play reaction to someone else play recording.

Nah, I'm just kidding, especially to the one mod in the fediverse that is to. I love you! I just hate that I am impeded in my duties to protect children by those who think a comment about eating used diapers is grounds for being banned from a community. Like, I'm separating the wheat from the weeds, and also promoting Mormon Occultism to help in a number of divergent ways that I have formulated in my specialized Illuminati training, as facilitated by the aliens that live in my phone's keyboard's predictive text thanks to Pegasus II. It's a hard enough job as it is!

The moar you know...

Basically, the title. It's an old Toshiba flat screen. I successfully "taught" the keyboard the power button code. The keyboard will turn the TV off, but not on. The power button on the remote is just one button, a toggle, like normal. Of course, the remote will turn the TV on and off, by pressing that one button. I can't imagine what is wrong, it must be the same code for on and off, right? I mean, the things aren't that complicated.

Thank you.

EDIT: It works if I program a button on the keyboard other than the power button. So I programmed button "C1" as the power button and for whatever reason, that button will turn the TV on and off. Weird. It's the keyboard treating the power button differently.

I have a ground floor brick apartment so I'm pretty well insulated from the summer heat for most of the day. If I can get the apartment cold enough at night by running fans (ventilation), I can often make it through the day without turning on the A/C.

That small room is the best case scenario because it has the box fan blowing in directly opposite the door which has a fan at it to pull the air out of that room.

The closest I get to the coldest night temperature is 4 degrees farenheit in that room. I'm guessing the walls are retaining some heat.

Is 4 degrees a respectable delta for $20 Lasko box fans or could I do better?

I'm cross ventilating as much as I can, but I have a weirdly shaped, weirdly windowed apartment and think I need about 3 more fans to circulate the air completely, but I don't think I do better than what I have for that one room.

President Donald Trump's administration on Friday paved the way for letting US corporations destroy the habitats of endangered species by rescinding a longtime interpretation of the Endangered Species Act.

As reported by The New York Times, the Interior Department and the Commerce Department announced that they were narrowing the law's definition of what constitutes harming endangered species.

Whereas the law has for decades been interpreted as protecting endangered animals' habitats from significant "modification or degradation," the administration said that offenders would have to directly injure or kill an endangered animal to be considered in violation of the law.

"The change could open the door for fossil fuel companies, agricultural interests, land developers, and others," wrote the Times, "to disturb or even destroy the habitats of vulnerable species."

The Endangered Species Act has been interpreted as protecting animals' habitats for decades, and that interpretation upheld by the US Supreme Court in 1995.

Environmental advocates expressed horror in response to the rule change, which they said would put endangered species at unprecedented risk.

Kristen Boyles, attorney for Earthjustice, vowed that the administration would face legal challenges for its rule change, which she said would jeopardize endangered animals' ability to "raise their young, or search for food."

"Let’s be clear: There is no support for the Trump Administration’s rule—no scientific support, no legal support, no public support," Boyles said. "We will see the Trump Administration in court."

Ben Greuel, wildlife campaign manager at the Sierra Club, called the rule changed "a direct attack on the foundation of the Endangered Species Act" that, if kept in place, would put species "on a path to extinction."

"This rule ignores that reality in an unlawful attempt to open the door for corporate polluters to degrade vitally important habitats, wildlife be damned," Greuel emphasized. "The Endangered Species Act is a bedrock law that must be followed."

Tara Zuardo, a senior campaigner at the Center for Biological Diversity, pointed out that "habitat destruction is the number one threat to endangered species," while calling the Trump administration's new policy "a death knell for America’s wildlife."

"If animals don’t have a place to live, they can’t live," Zuardo said. "Spotted owls, Atlantic salmon, Florida panthers, and thousands of other species need protections for the wild places where they make their homes."

Andrew Bowman, president and CEO of Defenders of Wildlife, accused the Trump administration of embracing an "erroneous and nonsensical interpretation" of the Endangered Species Act that he vowed to challenge in court.

"We intend to fight back with the full force of the law," said Bowman, "to defeat this attack and innumerable others by the administration on the statutes and regulations that protect America’s cherished wildlife."

Unesco report shows children lost out to servicing debt in 113 countries, with 18 spending five times more on loans

education than they did repaying debt last year, according to the UN, at the same time as global aid to education is predicted to decline by up to 30%.

More was spent on servicing foreign debt than on education in 113 developing countries in 2025, according to research by the UN’s culture and education agency, Unesco. In sub-Saharan Africa, countries spent 3.6 times more on debt than education.

The situation is likely to be exacerbated by funding cuts, the agency warned. Low- and lower-middle-income countries have already lost 21% of the aid to education they were receiving in 2023 and could lose up to 30% by 2027. Some countries – including Afghanistan, Mali, Niger and Liberia – have already lost more than 40% in three years.

Ukrainians have launched a new online “game”: changing fuel station statuses on maps, marking empty stations as supplied and supplied stations as empty.

The result is chaos in Moscow: drivers waste time, burn extra fuel, create traffic jams, and clash at gas stations.

more than 1 million users have visited the "GdeBenz" website — but here's the twist.

As reported, the project is part of a broader information campaign in which Ukrainians are "helping" russians find gasoline. Once again, Ukrainians have shown remarkable creativity and the power of coordinated online communities in cognitive operations.

Fellas, look what you have done!!!
