Yeah, the additionally interesting thing is that I ended up buying non-prime-day products.

Academics say they've mounted a successful GPS spoofing attack against road navigation systems that can trick humans into driving to incorrect locations. When they tell you to, "get lost", they mean it

I noticed a sign the other day in back of the NASA complex a few miles of my house that read site of planned Spaceport. I wonder if I'll be able to sleep at night and if I'll be able to see the lift-offs.
I'm not sdure of the construction schedule, but the land has been reserved!

I just heard that Ellington Field, about 3 miles from my house is designated as a space port and might be the home base for the new Space Force as well.

Amazon is set to clear $258.22 billion in US retail sales in 2018, according to eMarketer’s figures, which will work out to 49.1 percent of all online retail spend in the country, and 5 percent of all retail sales. I don't have anything funny to say here, that number just amazed me

The new app would reportedly allow users to run a full version of Photoshop on an iPad and continue edits on another device like a desktop PC. It should only cost three times as much as the iPad, and require you to uninstall everything else to fit it
