About five years ago, the "covid epidemic" began. The first cases in China were registered at the end of 2019. The first signals that something strange was happening in the world came in January - February 2020. The WHO officially declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020. I remembered some memes and videos from that period on the channel in TG here . Here https://en.unila.ru/notes/1024 is my fantastic story about a virus that can only be saved by getting on all fours. I wrote...
Actually, the video was filmed ten days ago, but for some reason it went viral on social networks and in the world media only today. Off the coast of Mexico, in the area of ​​Baja California, a little-known and therefore very strange-looking belt fish was spotted on the beach. It looks as if something in the Matrix short-circuited again and it produced something incomprehensible, absurd and a little scary. Video on the Telegram channel I did a little research.
Today, a video filmed during a festival in China is going viral on social networks. A humanoid robot with artificial intelligence (oh, this AI), passing by a crowd of spectators, suddenly approached and hit (or tried to hit) a woman. The accompanying security guards took the crazy robot away. Apparently, some kind of glitch in the program was the cause. It is difficult to understand what exactly happened there. Either there was no prohibition on causing harm to a person in...
An interesting picture came across on the X social network. This is a picture by the Dutch artist Arent de Gelder. The approximate year of creation of the drawing is 1710. The picture is called "Baptism of Christ" and depicts a biblical scene. Of course, the attention of ufology lovers is attracted by the round object, which is located on top. It is not known for certain what exactly the artist, who lived three hundred years ago, wanted to show. But in the
Installed Android x-86 on a computer after Ubuntu 24.04. Actually, not the first time. And actually, Windows 10 was installed on the same hard drive earlier. It turns out that three systems are side by side. But that's not the point. The point is that after installing Android 86, it turned out that in the Grub boot menu that appeared there was no item for selecting Android 86 to launch, although during the installation, of course, I marked the necessary options. The
This year there were few grapes. But even those that ripened hung with us until mid-October, and had already begun to spoil right on the vine. I wasn't planning on making wine, but I had to do something with the grapes. I decided to make some wine. We have the "Moldova" variety, and the red wine from it is good. I don't have a wine press or juicer. It's not like I'm an experienced winemaker. Last time I pressed it with my hands, it's not very effective. So I
I have seen a “danger warning” on the news channels several times. They say that cunning and insidious hackers have come up with a new scheme to deceive gullible users of social networks. A message comes from a person, for example, with the text: “Look, is that you in the photo?” The message has a file attached to it, which may be titled “Photo”, but at the end of the file name you can see its extension .APK, which indicates that this is a file for installing an
An annual story about mice. It got cold, mice ran into houses en masse. I set up several mousetraps around the house. Well, not really mousetraps... More like feeders for mice. Every time I put some bread in there, every time I check, there is no bread, no caught mice either... In the kitchen, out of the corner of my eye I noticed something flashing on the floor. I thought I imagined it. But no. It turned out that the mouse had come out from under the cabinet that
Some kind of global cyber incident seemed almost inevitable. Simply because sooner or later something like this was bound to happen. And 2024 is the year when conspiracy theorists were basically expecting the launch of some new event that would shock the world. If not an "alien invasion", then most likely there was bound to be a cyber incident. For now, the Windows failure that was observed on July 19, 2024, looks like a very light demo version. However, it is
Among my apps, there is one that keeps a countdown in the summer - how many days and hours are left until the end of summer. The rest of the time it shows how many days are left until the next summer. Here: https://en.unila.ru/apps/2057 . I just looked, at this moment there are only 48 days left. Half of the summer is almost over. And I became interested in when this moment comes, when exactly half of the summer has passed and exactly half of the summer is left. In
I bought a table fan with a humidification function and a timer for automatic shutdown on Ozon (a popular online store in Russia) (photo below). The fan has three speeds. The humidification mode also has three power levels. There is a backlight (very dim, but it will do to find the fan in the dark). The timer can be set for one hour, two, or three. After the selected time, the fan should turn off by itself. Actually, I ordered two pcs, one - black, the second - white.
When a computer replaces your TV, and you are used to watching a movie on the Internet before going to bed, automatically turning off the computer on a timer is a useful thing. And on a laptop, it is simply necessary, because it is special not to leave it on all night; if it is on a battery, so as not to discharge to zero, if it is connected to the network, so as not to overheat. On a Windows computer, to turn off the PC automatically, I used the Aimp audio player, there
