The Danger of Cheap Gadgets: The Rise Of Self-Cleaning, Cat-Killing Litter Boxes

A white self-cleaning cat litter box which looks like a round basket with a cover and a grey doorway in the front (a bit like a front loading washing machine). A toy ginger cat is shown to be stuck in the door, which has closed on it. The back end of the toy cat is protruding out of the door.
Machines that automate the various tedious tasks that come with being a servant in a cat’s household — like feeding and cleaning Mr. Fluffles’ litter box — are generally a godsend, as they ensure a happy cat and a happy human. That is, unless said litter box-cleaning robot kills said cat. That’s the gruesome topic that [Philip Bloom], also known as the bloke of the One Man Five Cats channel on YouTube, decided to investigate after coming across a report about a certain Amazon-bought unit.

For some uses, one has to be really careful of trying to just save money. This is a good example of one such case.

My daughters have social anxiety issues and had lots of problems living in US.

Moving to Sweden has given them a taste of living in a safe and comfortable environment where they can be completely independent and feel comfortable to meet new people.

Through "international student" welcome program in Göteborg, they have met many interesting people from around the world, most of them older than them, in their 20s studying for masters degrees which is an added bonus to be able to meet young, ambitious, muliti culture people studying in different fields to help them explore their options and to learn from different opportunities young European students have.

This is a group picture from earlier when they went "island hoping", a free tour of few islands close to Göteborg and only thing they needed to bring was their lunch and desert to share.

I'm really proud of them, because they struggle to be in groups specially with people they don't know and "older .

And as my older daughter said last time we discussed her best feeling about these events was " NOT BEING AFRAID TO GET SHOT", which is a truly sad thing for a young woman to say after a weekend of fun.

But it's getting better every day and last sunday they walked to their apartment at 4AM because they missed the last bus. Coming home they ate breakfast before they went to bed.

While I like some of these approaches to be seen in #pixelfed, I thoroughly wonder how to make such things work across other federated platforms in a meaningful way...

Safety warnings as #Torness #nuclear plant sees increase in cracks

The cracks were detected in April 2024 and were “at the upper end of expectations”. The first three cracks were discovered at Torness in February 2022. That's risen to 46 cracks.

Spreading cracks could result in debris inhibiting the cooling of hot #radioactive fuel. This can lead to a reactor #meltdown, which can result in the escape of radioactivity into the environment.

The station was originally scheduled to close in 2023, and in 2016 its expected life was extended to 2030.

Senior Maryland Pilot Warned Officials of Risk of Bridge Strike

A senior Maryland pilot raised concerns about the risk of an #collision between a big ship and the Francis Scott Key #Bridge at least as early as 2006, and continued to discuss the matter in local safety meetings for years, according to detailed records uncovered by the Washington Post.

The documents also show that at the staff level, the #Maryland Transportation Authority was aware that their bridge was "not designed to withstand collisions from large vessels," and that the cost of protecting it would be high.

#depop via injections that kill

Explosion of Childhood Vaccines Led to ‘Greatest Decline in Public Health in Human History’
Del Bigtree, CEO of the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), referenced the significant increase in chronic illnesses that’s risen along with the number of childhood vaccines.

“In the 1980s, when we were giving 11 doses of about three vaccines, the chronic illness rate, which includes neurological and autoimmune disease, was 12.8%. Once we passed the 1986 [National Childhood Vaccine Injury] Act and we had the gold rush of vaccines explode ... the chronic illness rate, neurological and autoimmune disease, skyrocket[ed] to 54%,” he said.3

However, that was in 2011 to 2012 — and might be even worse today. “We have no idea since then how bad this has gotten. But what you were looking at right there is the greatest decline in public health in human history,” Bigtree noted.4 He added:5

“None of the 14 routine vaccines on the CDC’s recommended schedule ... was ever put through long-term double-blind placebo-based safety trials prior to licensure. Since this type of trial is really the only way to establish that a pharmaceutical product is safe, it is misinformation to state that the vaccines are safe.”

On the contrary, a number of studies suggest that unvaccinated children may be healthier than those who are vaxxed.

Vaccinated Children Have Higher Rates of Asthma, Neurodevelopmental Disorders and More
Dr. Paul Thomas, whose medical license was suspended due to his advocacy for informed consent regarding vaccinations, along with James Lyons-Weiler from the Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge (IPAK), conducted a study comparing the health of vaccinated and unvaccinated children.6

Their findings revealed that vaccinated children experienced significantly higher instances of various health issues, including:7

Asthma

Allergies

Eczema

Sinusitis

Gastroenteritis

Respiratory infections

Middle ear infection

Conjunctivitis

Breathing issues

Behavioral issues

Notably, among the 561 unvaccinated children, none were diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), whereas 0.063% of children who had received some or all recommended vaccinations were diagnosed with ADHD.

“The implications of these results for the net public health effects of whole-population vaccination and with respect for informed consent on human health are compelling,” they wrote.8 The study also points out that the rate of autism spectrum disorder in their practice was half that of the U.S. national average (0.84% versus 1.69%). The rate of ADHD in the practice was also about half the national rate.

According to the authors, “The data indicate that unvaccinated children in the practice are not unhealthier than the vaccinated and indeed the overall results may indicate that the unvaccinated pediatric patients in this practice are healthier overall than the vaccinated.”9

At the roundtable, Hooker added, “‘When you look at developmental delays, when you look at asthma, when you look at ear infections, when you look at allergies, when you look at ADD [attention deficit disorder], ADHD, autism,’ unvaccinated children fare ‘way better.’”10

Aluminum Toxicity Alone Is a Problem
There are multiple mechanisms of potential harm when it comes to vaccination. One of them involves aluminum, the most commonly used vaccine adjuvant.11 A demonstrated neurotoxin, aluminum is added to certain vaccines to increase the immune response and, with that, theoretically generate a higher response of protective antibodies.

However, repeated exposure to vaccine components such as aluminum could be harming children. As Hooker shared, “28 vaccines are given in the first year of life, one vaccine on the first day of life and upwards to eight vaccines when an infant is just 2 months old. If you look at the aluminum toxicity alone, it far surpasses the single-day toxicity limit for aluminum exposure in newborns.”12

A study funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that, among children with and without eczema, exposure to vaccine-associated aluminum was positively associated with persistent asthma. There was a 1.26- and 1.19-times higher risk of persistent asthma for each additional milligram of vaccine-related aluminum exposure, respectively, for children with and without eczema.13

Children who received all or most of the recommended childhood vaccines that contain aluminum received a cumulative aluminum exposure dose of more than 3 milligrams (mg). This group had, at least, a 36% higher risk of developing persistent asthma than children who received fewer vaccines, and therefore had a less than 3-mg exposure to aluminum.14

The study was observational in nature and stopped short of saying that it proves a link between aluminum-containing vaccines and asthma. The CDC also stated that it has no intention of altering its vaccine recommendations based on this study alone.15 However, the researchers pointed out that rates of asthma in U.S. children steadily increased in the 1980s and 1990s, then remained steady since 2001.

The 2001 date is significant, as most aluminum-containing vaccines were added to the childhood vaccine schedule before 2001. This includes, for example, diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis (DTaP), hepatitis B, some formulations of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and pneumococcal conjugate vaccines. According to the study:16

“There are many environmental and genetic risk factors for asthma, and any contribution from vaccine-associated aluminum has not been proven or supported through replication. However, because most aluminum-containing vaccines were added to the routine schedule prior to 2001 ... observed national trends in asthma prevalence during childhood are not incongruous with the effect estimates observed here.”

COVID Shots Caused 30 Child Deaths for Every One Saved
COVID-19 shots were added to the U.S. childhood, adolescent and adult vaccine schedules after a unanimous (15-0) vote by the U.S. CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). By adding the shots to the vaccine schedule, it paves the way for U.S. schools to require them for attendance.

Pfizer and Moderna, the shots’ makers, were also granted permanent legal indemnity, which otherwise would have disappeared once COVID-19 shots were no longer protected under emergency use authorization (EUA).17 Yet the shots have proven disastrous for children.

Hooker told the roundtable research shows “that for every one child that is saved from death from COVID-19, there are 30 child deaths associated with the COVID-19 vaccine. So, the risk-to-benefit ratio in terms of mortality is 30 to 1.”18

A now-retracted narrative review published in the journal Cureus called for a global moratorium on mRNA COVID-19 shots,19 citing significant increases in serious adverse events among those who received the injections, along with an “unacceptably high harm-to-reward ratio.”20

When factoring in absolute risk and the “number needed to vaccinate” (NNV), a metric used to quantify how many people need to be vaccinated to prevent one additional case of a specific disease, the review found “for every life saved, there were nearly 14 times more deaths caused by the modified mRNA injections.”21

The authors of the paper also said the shots should be immediately removed from the childhood vaccine schedule, while boosters should also be suspended. “It is unethical and unconscionable to administer an experimental vaccine to a child who has a near-zero risk of dying from COVID-19 but a well-established 2.2 percent risk of permanent heart damage based on the best prospective data available,” the paper notes.22

Heart damage from the shots includes myocarditis, which is inflammation of the heart muscle that can cause heart failure, abnormal heartbeat and sudden death. “Myocarditis is a serious disorder and 76% of all cases following COVID-19 vaccination, as reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System [VAERS], required emergency care and/or hospitalization,” Hooker said. However, the “CDC significantly downplays myocarditis as a side effect of the vaccine.”23

#Health Agency ‘Never Submitted’ Required #Vaccine #Safety Reports to Congress
The roundtable discussion occurred as part of a larger discussion on “Federal Health Agencies and the #COVID #Cartel.” The group included medical experts, political figures, journalists and whistleblowers who accused government, media and Big Pharma of censorship and coverups related to #COVID-19 jab injuries.24

Hooker testified that the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act requires the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to “report to Congress on the state of vaccine safety in the U.S. every two years.” However, he said HHS has “never submitted a vaccine safety report to Congress.”25

Hooker also reported that health agencies have data on health outcomes for vaccinated and unvaccinated children, but they refuse to make it public. The data, which includes close to 30 years’ worth of information on more than 10 million people, is housed in a database called Vaccine Safety Datalink.

Despite Hooker making more than 120 #Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, and going through “congressional representatives to get the Vaccine Safety Datalink itself,” he says, “It is simply something that they will not do.”26 He believes financial conflicts of interest are the reason why:27

“CDC buys and sells $5 #billion worth of vaccines a year through the Vaccines for Children program. They also spend half a billion dollars a year ... advertising and through public relationship campaigns for vaccinations in general, as compared to a woeful budget of $50 million that is being used for vaccine safety every year.”

In a discussion on Steve Bannon’s “War Room,” Hooker added that, as it stands, public health agencies are not protecting the public from vaccine injuries — something to carefully consider in your own medical decisions regarding vaccinations:28

“The CDC, FDA and NIH (National Institutes of Health) are derelict in their duty ... to #protect #children and adults against vaccine injury in order to report to Congress the state of vaccine safety science, and their responsibility to the American public and to public health in order to protect the American public #vaccinescam

TunnelVision: Decloaking Routing-Based VPNs

CVE-2024-3661

If you want to be safe, don't get DHCP service from anything but your own router. Don't connect to public WiFi anywhere. If you need to use a local network you don't control, connect your router to it and connect your device to your router so you get DHCP service from your router, not someone else's. It's also important that only your devices be allowed to connect to your router.

https://github.com/leviathansecurity/TunnelVision

TunnelVision is a local network VPN leaking technique that allows an attacker to read, drop, and sometimes modify VPN traffic from a targets (sic) on the local network. This technique does not activate kill-switches and does not have a full fix for every major operating system. We are using the built-in and widely supported feature DHCP option 121 to do this.\
\
Option 121 supports installing multiple routes with CIDR ranges. By installing multiple /1 routes an attacker can leak all traffic of a targeted user, or an attacker might choose to leak only certain IP addresses for stealth reasons. We're calling this effect decloaking.\
\
TunnelVision has been theoretically exploitable since 2002, but has gone publicly unnoticed as far as we can tell. For this reason, we are publishing broadly to make the privacy and security industry aware of this capability. In addition, the mitigation we've observed from VPN providers renders a VPN pointless in public settings and challenges VPN providers' assurances that a VPN is able to secure a user's traffic on untrusted networks.\
\
A fix is available on Linux when configuring the VPN users host to utilize network namespaces. However, we did not encounter its use outside of our own research. The best documentation we've found about that fix is available from WireGuard's team. It remains unclear, at the time of publishing, whether this fix or a similar fix is also possible on other operating systems such as Windows and MacOS due to neither appearing to have support for network namespaces.
