Can you identify the 4 countries (or better, cities) that these screenshots from Google Earth are showing, based on the land use, buildings, and vegetation?

My dad had this laser printer (photo from December 2011) sometime into the 2010s. I think he got rid of it because he couldn't get toner cartridges anymore. Purchased 1992 or 1993, specifically because it was 600dpi. I no longer remember if it's an HP LaserJet 2MP or 4MP.

Many people might not think that giving camera permission reveals their sexual orientation/preferences, or that giving location permission reveals their identity. A key difference is that the information that is being revealed can be clearly described in a nontechnical way.

I think saying that camera and location risks are obvious and bluetooth/USB risks are not obvious isn't quite the right distinction. There are many non-obvious risks in both.

It looks like Breyer is the occupant of the seat that was historically the Jewish seat (Cardozo, Frankfurter, Goldberg, and Fortas, with Blackmun separating them from Breyer).

It already existed on the web for a long time as <font size=7>, and it was weird that it wasn't in CSS.

I noticed that too, when visiting. See 2 tweets starting from
On the negative side, the city center is pretty car-centric, and pedestrian hostile. Intersections in the core have beg buttons for pedestrians. Sometimes the person at the front of the crowd of 20 waiting to cross doesn't press it... and then it's a crowd of 50.

Like the time I was trying to catch a bus in Taipei, and I saw one whose sign said 景美, and I knew it was going to Jingmei even though I wasn't (at the time) familiar with the first character. (I wasn't going to Jingmei.)
