Is an obvious clue. Companies/Entities like USPS don’t use 3rd party url shorteners…

8·16 days agoSeems to be a tool for taking an image and Geo-locating it, even in cases where other sources of data like Googles street map cars are insufficient.
Somehow that posted as an entirely empty comment… Here’s what was supposed to be in it:
9·25 days ago(linked in the above article) https://mullvad.net/en/blog/wireguard-future
28·26 days agoNo severance (which you by law are entitled to)
Not when you’re terminated with cause.
Committing crimes on the clock is more than enough reason to fire someone. Dudes incredibly lucky he was asked to resign instead of being fired and charged.
But, what does that actually achieve besides limiting Canada’s ability to, for example, seize assets? TikTok, being a digital platform, isn’t very dependent on regional presence; it’s not like you’ve gotta head to their offices to post/view content.
If TikTok/ByteDance isn’t complying with Canadian laws/standards, Canada no longer has leverage to influence change.
How does this actually ‘harm’ TikTok and/or protect Canadians?
The article writer’s didn’t even read the paper they are reporting…
This is power-over-skin. Ie: power transmitted from one device to another via human skin. It’s not harvesting or generating energy from the human body.
The research paper, published by Andy Kong, Daehwa Kim, and Chris Harrison from Carnegie Mellon University, notes that the human body is particularly efficient at generating 40 MHz RF energy.
No. It doesn’t. At all…
Page 1 of the research paper PDF:
We call our technique Power-over-Skin Prior work has found that the human body is particularly efficient at conducting 40 MHz RF, while largely confining transmitted power to the body
Seems it’s a re-write of this article from Monday, leaving out the transmitter part.

(their source from 3 weeks ago) https://youtu.be/5PEN04-jyCU?si=JzzeLW6KalDKxOss
Power isn’t harvested from the human body it’s transmitted (in really small amounts) across the body from one device to another, using capacitive coupling and 40MHz AC voltage.
[…] the Government of Canada has ordered the wind up of the Canadian business carried on by TikTok Technology Canada, Inc. The government is taking action to address the specific national security risks related to ByteDance Ltd.’s operations in Canada through the establishment of TikTok Technology Canada, Inc. […]
[…] The government is not blocking Canadians’ access to the TikTok application or their ability to create content. The decision to use a social media application or platform is a personal choice. […]
Sooo, what’s the goal here? How does this help, or effect, Canadians?
It is a Linux tool unfortunately :/
You could use it to clone the windows disc/partition from a Linux machine/live usb, try out your de-bloating process, and restore again via a Linux machine/live usb if needed.
Some more reading, for those following along:
This was their stance 2 months ago:
I don’t think that would have changed if not for the backlash Microsoft has received for it.
Now, supposedly it’s optional and off by default, but that could change again anytime…
BorgBackup creates compressed and de-duplicated backups, splitting data into chunks then only keeping unique chunks + a list of files those chunks belong too.
I’ve currently got around 470gb being backed up; compression brings that down to 320gb, then after de-duplication that’s down closer to 70gb. (there’s a lot of media metadata in there, results will vary)
17 backups going back 6 months: 8.10 TB original > 5.62 TB compressed > 326.55 GB final backup data stored on disk
/edit this thread is a week old… It showed up at the top of my ‘new’ feed…? Odd.
Telus is the one that’s sent me dozens of notices; they don’t care. They just pass on the message they received and wash their hands.
In Canada, I get letters (well emails) when I rawdawg some torrents; but it’s never gone further than that.
Prior to using usenet, I constantly torrented w/o a VPN (talking 10+ TB of data across 3ish years) and received a new email notice or two every other day. I’ve still got a folder with 60+ notices. ISP doesn’t give af, they just forward the copyright notice in the form it was sent to them, and that’s it.
Now though I primarily use usenet and haven’t gotten a notice since. Downloads are also way way more reliable and faster.
