nullhack··on Silk offers an alternative to some microplastics
Suffer Fish the Plastic, or suffer armies of Silkworms to spin useless cocoons for Humanity? I was hoping to read "plant-based Silk" or something...

"Unlike the high-quality silk threads used for fine fabrics, the silk protein used in the new alternative material is widely available and less expensive, Liu says. While silkworm cocoons must be painstakingly unwound to produce the fine threads needed for fabric, for this use, non-textile-quality cocoons can be used, and the silk fibers can simply be dissolved using a scalable water-based process."

nullhack··on Are Apple AirTags Being Used to Track People and Steal Cars?
I HATE that I can no longer turn my WiFi and Bluetooth OFF from the quick-settings, with WiFi only turning off till morning (tee-hee!) and BT only going into some sort of passive mode Because Apple needs my phone to be ever-present as a part of their zombie data mesh

At least I can still turn cell data on/off without having to dig through the settings, I wonder when that will be disabled
