Report: A British surgeon has launched a lawsuit over the NHS's use of the IHRA definition of antisemitism to suspend him.
The NHS’s adoption of the definition "has led to unlawful restrictions on political expression", he said, & "the hospital has a legal duty to oppose genocide."

@elsua54 For this reply... Yes! We are in a desperate situation:
It's all measurable even if you believe only 50% of #news and ignore other people's justified #complaints / experiences of 'work'.
Created / forced into debt / inflation,
Bad managers in most / all sectors,
Uncaring states doing bad work...
'Incentives' are different in meaning if in a desperate situation - abuse after the people are robbed previously / increasingly.

A federal judge has ruled that Donald Trump's speech at the Ellipse on January 6th, which incited an insurrection, was not an official act and therefore civil lawsuits against him may proceed.
He may have avoided prison for now, but we can still take what matters most to him: his money.

SNES Consoles appear to run faster with Age [APU Frequency increased by up to 182 Hz after 35 Years].
Security consultant and TASBot [Tool-Assisted Speedrun robot] administrator Alan Cecil discovered that Super Nintendo consoles have grown slightly faster because of one of their chips. At the moment, the highest frequency submitted is 32,182 Hz, this increase is less than 1% of the original APU value of 32,000 Hz.

👾After significant research and testing on dozens of actual SNES units, the TASBot team now thinks that a cheap ceramic resonator used in the system's Audio Processing Unit [APU] is to blame for much of this inconsistency. While Nintendo's own documentation says the APU should run at a consistent rate of 24.576 Mhz [and the associated Digital Signal Processor sample rate at a flat 32,000 Hz], in practice, that rate can vary just a bit based on heat, system age and minor physical variations that develop in different console units over time.👾
<https://snes.nesdev.org/wiki/SNES_Development_Manual>
⁉️For a frame-perfect tool-assisted speedrun, though, the clock variations between consoles could cause innumerable headaches. [Alan] explained in his detailed analysis: "On one console this might take 0.126 frames to process the music-tick, on a different console it might take 0.127 frames. It might not seem like much but it is enough to potentially delay the start of song loading by 1 frame (depending on timing, lag and game-code)."⁉️
<https://undisbeliever.net/blog/20250313-smpspeed.html>
![[ImageSource: Alan Cecil]
[Alan]'s survey found variation across consoles was much higher than the effects of heat on any single console.
<https://docs.getgrist.com/fpwWkqDcnxXR/SNES-SMP-speed/p/1>
👾The APU SPC700 coprocessor uses a ceramic resonator running at 24,576 Hz [Digital Signal Processor sample rate at a flat 32,000 Hz] to set its frequency. However, this component is a sensitive piece of electronics, and heat and other environmental factors could affect its behavior.👾
[Alan] also said the survey-reported DSP clock speeds were also a bit higher than he expected, at an average rate of 32,078 Hz at room temperature. That's quite a bit higher than both the 32,000 Hz spec set by Nintendo and the 32,040 Hz rate that emulator developers settled on after sampling actual hardware in 2003.
⁉️To some observers, this is evidence that SNES APUs originally produced in the 90’s have been speeding up slightly as they age and could continue to get faster in the coming years and decades. But [Alan] says the historical data they have is too circumstantial to make such a claim for certain.⁉️](https://media.nerdculture.de/media_attachments/files/116/907/701/068/730/924/original/52b902f73ceded0e.jpeg "[ImageSource: Alan Cecil]

Meta Al data center caught infecting town water supply with deadly bacteria
Frank Strong, engineering and water resource division manager at the Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities, said the bacterium was first detected during routine wastewater testing.
He added that it was an unusual pathogen to find in any wastewater, including discharge from a data center.
In Cheyenne, Wyoming, officials are cutting off wastewater-dumping access for data centers connected to the city’s water system.
