Elon Musk says President Trump called for a return of the former Starliner astronauts "as soon as possible," but NASA already assigned SpaceX to ferry them home during the Biden administration.
The departure of the Crew Dragon Freedom was delayed from late February to no earlier than late March due to additional work needed on the fifth and newest Dragon spacecraft.

Pi-hole on an RPi 2b for primary DNS (secondary in container). MoCA adapters to connect rooms without Ethernet via coax. I also cut the cord and run Kodi w/ LibreElec on an RPi 4 and HDHomeRun tuners with an outdoor antenna for TV.
Ubiquiti Gateway, switches, and access points for networking. Firewalla Purple for traffic analysis/management. QNAP NAS with 24 Tb storage for backups and running containers (MeTube, Unifi Network, tvheadend, pi-hole, and a few others). (1/2)

CPU % usage is really complicated.
On Apple Silicon, you could use as little as 27% of the CPU's maximum frequency, yet Activity Monitor will show 100% usage of the core.
Why?
It all has to do with active residency.

On this day 26 years ago @Microsoft released SQL Server 7.0. This was 1.0 for many of us and has paved the way for the incredible industry force @SQLServer is today. news.microsoft.com/1998/11/1…. #sqlserver #sqlhistory #microsoftlife
One of the plays of the first Trump administration was to do something egregious as a distraction while they did something else they didn’t want you to notice. So while everyone is fixated on the Gaetz AG nomination, don’t lose focus on what else they’re doing.

Back to the scanner issue, I'd be frustrated if it delayed me casting my vote but reassured that there's provisions in place to make sure my vote still gets counted. I think sometimes people just like to look for issues where issues don't exist.
A lot of things sound good in concept, but when you sit down and try to figure out the details you'll likely come to the realization that reality is a different story. When it comes to today's election, I'm OK with accurate results over the need to know instantly.
"Good, fast, and cheap: pick two". If you want quality results and fast, you can't just throw more taxpayer money in the mix to make it happen. And you certainly don't want to trade accuracy just to get the results quicker.
The next thing people say is "single day elections with results that day". But how does that work at scale? How do you address the need to handle greater number of voters in a single day? How do you count, and then audit the results accurately on the same day?
If I read the multiple stories right, polling locations opened late b/c the scanners weren't working and were ordered to stay open later to account for the delay. Votes weren't miscounted or changed because of a software defect. (And that's why there's a paper trail + audits)
A lot of replies here saying "we need paper ballots!". I wonder if they looked up how it works in Cambria county. All ballots ARE on paper, which is then scanned. The issue wasn't with the paper ballots; it was with the scanners. (pa.gov/en/agencies/vote/vote…)
