Another "content moderation" bill is in the works in Texas, and this one is *really* bad. It basically outlaws the use of email filters, except when used for "spam"

It's a bright and sunny morning today with comfortably cool weather. Perfect for coffee time!

psa, exploding power supplies, :boost_ok: appreciated 

If you recently bought a Gigabyte power supply, it may be at risk of exploding. Newegg has been selling these power supplies in bundles with high-end graphics cards to try and liquidate e-waste stock.

From what we understand, the safety mechanism that's supposed to shut it down if there's an unsafe spike in usage (Over Power Protection, OPP) didn't kick in until serious damage was already done.

Gamer's Nexus did a video that goes more in-depth than we could ever hope to. youtube.com/watch?v=aACtT_rzTo

As of yet, Gigabyte has opted to issue an update to lower the OPP threshold rather than issue a recall.

Please double-check your power supplies in all computers you use or admin to see if they're affected.

Stay safe.

Check your health insurance costs on healthcare.gov because income limits have been slashed. I personally was just a couple thousand over the subsidy limit but will now likely qualify for a $200/mo discount, BUT OPEN ENROLLMENT ENDS SUNDAY. So check on it NOW and save a bunch of money!

trans thoughts ++ 

Feels super validating for one of my IRL friends to address me by my chosen name!

Just got finished picking some fruit off of the pear tree in my backyard :3

Only 11 pears though, as most of the others either aren't ready to be picked or are too high for me to reach without a ladder or tool

Gonna be heading off to my doctor appointment shortly. I feel like this is an appointment that is going to go well!

weight loss ++ 

Currently wearing an old shirt of mine I haven't worn in years because I got to big for it. But now, I've lost enough weight to wear it comfortably!
