Pet octopus gives birth to 50 babies

definitely an octopus is not a pet i would recommend anyone getting. they are invertebrates and thus are very hard to keep. they are escape artists....being invertebrates, they do not have any bones in their body save for their beak. the beak is their mouth and is very sharp almost like a bird's beak. thus they can squeeze thru any opening as long as it is bigger than their beak. if the beak can fit thru, they can squeeze thru it. plus they have extremely short life spans.

i would highly recommend watching My Octopus Teacher on Netflix:

here is a marine biologist's review of the documentary:

and this is pretty cool from Harvard about it:

and finally here is the story about the family:

where did the dad get the octopus from? they live in Oklahoma. i do not think the local pet store got it for them. plus the octopus is a California species.

Windows 11 doesn't have enough ads

Windows 11 doesn't have enough ads, says Microsoft's latest plan to force more ads onto your PC


Windows 11 doesn't have enough ads, says Microsoft's latest plan to force more ads onto your PC
Back before meme images were a thing you'd get jokes circulated by email. One I remember was a "Microsoft press release" announcing that since their user surveys had discovered that the activity Windows users spent most time doing was "staring at the blue screen of death" they were planning on selling advertising space on it...

AAA

Here one of the equivalent organisations is just called the "Automobile Association". Back in the 70s and early 80s they and their main rival (the "Royal Automobile Club" or RAC) used to provide little plates with their logos which members could attach to their cars to advertise their membership. I remember an American visitor being extremely confused that people were driving around with the initials "AA" on their cars, as (a) they didn't think Alcoholics Anonymous membership was something you'd announce to the world, and (b) there seemed to be rather a lot of them...

RapidApi app, ussage and alternatives.

Now we made a Rapidapi android store statistics api (no need for further promotion, you find it.).
And we did all this without any further research, as per usual.
Now our api is almost top dog on the seach term playstore and is not having a lot of visitors.

Is anybody here using RapidApi? is there any intrest in Apis ? for example in android apps?
Is anybody hosting apis on Rapidapi or on an alternative api market place that is much better?

Do you use apis as a programmer you do you rather develop your data gathering tools in house?

Virus alerts on my Samsung Galaxy S20

Then do a factory reset

I just did this. I guess this was the only way.

On my laptop, I go to that website called 'Smart Things Find' for Samsung which can locate your phone. I'm testing it, but when I click 'track location' it's not connecting to my phone for some reason. After running for a while, eventually it says 'tracking stopped.'

Any idea what is going on here?

I completely forgot..

never used SetEdit SettingsDatabaseEditor - Apps on Google Play before so i can't comment really on how to use it. the only thing that i see in the app is for enabling haptic feedback. it shows no specifics for the fingerprint scanner. and from what i can gather, it looks like you can only edit the strength of the feedback.....which you can just go to your phone's settings under vibration and haptics to adjust it....no need to use the SetEdit app.

.....but i could be wrong cuz like i said i have never used it before.
I have used it a few times, and pretty much if you want to glance at it head over to the XDA developers, that is the first time I have heard of it to turn off the fingerprint haptic.

2024 Masters Golf Tournament

Another day and another round of golf at the Masters. Scheffler is now in the lead at seven under par. Oh his heels is Morikawa -6, Homa -5, Aberg -4, and DeChambeau -3. There are a number of players tied at two under that any one of them could have a great day tomorrow and steal the green jacket. It should be fun to watch it unfold.
