Quote from the article:

“We know what happens when we don’t fight for the water,” Wadsworth said, pointing to the white mass. “This lake used to be full.”
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/dec/04/nevada-ai-data-centers Excerpt from the article: Wadsworth, the tribal chairman, recognizes the need for datacenters, but worries if the ones upriver aren’t kept in check, they could intensify threats to the lake – which is the lifeblood for the tribe. The Truckee River supplies the industrial center with water and also serves as the primary source of water for Pyramid Lake. “It’s not like we’re out here to be a pain,” Wadsworth said. “We know the destruction.” In the tribe’s governmental office, Wadsworth, sporting waist-length hair and a white button-up shirt tucked into slacks, walked over to a giant satellite map showing the region’s watershed – from California’s mountains to Nevada’s Great Basin. Next to the deep green of Pyramid Lake was a large, flat, white mass, the remnants of a second lake. “We know what happens when we don’t fight for the water,” Wadsworth said, pointing to the white mass. “This lake used to be full.” Lake Winnemucca was once fed by Pyramid Lake, but when the Truckee River was dammed in the early 1900s, Wadsworth said it took less than 30 years for Pyramid Lake to drop 80ft and Lake Winnemucca to dry.

By the end of the decade, physicists would formulate the theory of quarks, which baryons and mesons are made of.
Closing paragraph of the article: The discovery of the omega and other particle systems or "excited states," it is believed, may contribute greatly to a long-awaited theory of the elementary particles. What is needed is a theory that would explain why there are a number of elementary particles. It would explain their properties and their interactions, and would thus contribute fundamental understanding of the physical universe.

We used to be a proper country.
A telegram from JFK on August 31, 1961: WUN024 DE WA334 GOVT PD THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON DC 31 656P PEDT DR LUIS ALVAREZ LAWRENCE RAD LAB UNIV OF CALIF I PERSONALLY WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES DRS. MAGLIC RESENFELD AND STEVENSON FOR THE EXPERIMENTAL VERIFICATION OF THE OMEGA MESON. THIS DISCOVERY I AM TOLD WILL PROVIDE CONSIDERABLE GREATER INSIGHT INTO THE MAKE-UP OF THE ATOMIC NUCLEUS. IT IS STEPS SUCH AS YOU HAVE TAKEN IN SCIENCE WHICH ARE SO NECESSARY IF THIS COUNTRY IS TO MAINTAIN OUR PREEMINENCE IN SCIENCE. I AM PARTICULARLY PLEASED THAT ONE OF THE CO DISCOVERERS OF THIS MESON WAS A VISITING SCIENTIST FROM YUGOSLAVIA GIVING FURTHER EVIDENCE FOR SCIENTIFIC FREEDOM AVAILABLE IN THIS COUNTRY.

Attribution is second nature to us defenders, so it's easy to forget that the average local user probably only knows the tactics, techniques, and procedures for Turla and one or two Russian bears. And Sandworm, of course. Of course.

A paragraph from the article. "After months of painful investigation and analysis, engineers determined the rocket was lost due to the propellant-loading process. In their goal of rapidly fueling the Falcon 9 rocket, the SpaceX teams had filled the pressurized helium tanks too quickly, heating the aluminum liner and causing it to buckle. In their haste to load super-chilled propellant onto the Falcon 9, SpaceX had found its speed limit." (This alt text has the first 2 sentences of this paragraph omitted.)

These two routers replace two of three WNDR4300 (v1) routers.

For the remaining WNDR4300, it's connected (as a WDS client) at 450 Mbps (802.11n MCS 23).

The new routers are connected at ~1000 Mbps (802.11ac VHT-MCS 5-6).

Bonus: Figured out what "PR" in the firmware update notes refers to.
From the ONEKEY blog: "the device checks the region and only starts the funjsq script if it’s in China. Yes, NETGEAR does not follow ISO standard here. “PR” is not “Puerto Rico”, but probably “People’s Republic”." From the Netgear Support website: R7450 Firmware Version 1.2.0.92 Enhancements: Removed Funjsq for PR SKU Security Fixes: Fixes security bugs.

This is a normal amount of Wi-Fi routers.
Five (5) Netgear home routers plus a Netgear Wi-Fi extender. One of the routers sits on top of an empty Netgear box (retail packaging). Two of the routers support up to 802.11n Wi-Fi and the other devices support up to 802.11ac.

Interesting! (SCO Group v. IBM)
Thus, even if we assume that IBM actually followed through with its threat to persuade industry players not to do business with SCO—as it did with Hewlett-Packard—that conduct would not have been “improper” within the meaning of the Utah tort of intentional interference. The district court therefore appropriately granted summary judgment on this claim.21 21 Because we resolve this claim on the improper-means requirement, we do not address the district court’s determination that SCO failed to demonstrate adequate causation for its injury on summary judgment.
