Variolation (introducing the smallpox virus through the skin, not respiratory tract as its natural spread would be, usually leading to a milder infection and subsequent immunity) had been around for a while. Jenner’s accomplishment was successfully using the related cowpox virus to grant immunity to the smallpox virus, based on observations that people working with cattle rarely caught smallpox. This eliminated many of the downsides of variolation (eg. risk of breakthrough disease, and variolated individuals being infectious for smallpox for a while).
Replacement mouthpiece for a vintage flute that had a plastic one.
Flute pad hole punch aimer thingy so I can make cheap China pads into open-hole ones for not-so-great flutes without having to buy a bunch of open-hole ones (version 1 was already made and proved the idea, now it’s just to iterate).
E facilitator prototypes before I CNC them (still learning CNC and I don’t like it).
Flute airstream aimer clip-on thingy for older people who have lost their embochure due to dental operations and such. (after I get the hang of the replacement mouthpiece; this is probably the most difficult one, due to precise mouthpiece shape needed)
Model for manually engraving the right size & shape replacement piece out of bone, for a badly cracked teapot.
Spherebot.
Condoms aren’t 99% effective as contraception even if you use them perfectly, which most people don’t.
Of the companies listed on the screenshot or mentioned in the article, at least LinkedIn, Twitter, Deezer, Dropbox, Zynga and MyFitnessPal have been hacked before. Probably just a collection of old data?
Edit: Yeah, aggregated data
There are also 12 templar crosses. I did not find an anagram for “OREO” in Latin, nor is it “INRI” transposed directly in alphabet, but there might be something to force there. Both being four-letter words with same beginning and end and all.
Under half of women orgasm from penetration alone, and for about one in ten it’s outright painful. For me it does pretty much nothing. I guess we could move to whether air and vibrations on clit count as friction, but I’m pretty sure that’s not what anyone had in mind. Nor whether kisses and general intimate closeness count as “sexual pleasure”.

Friction. 🤮 No. NO.
Years ago the predecessor to Oscar didn’t support BMC devices, and doesn’t look like it’s changed. Yuwell isn’t listed either. Otherwise would be great. Maybe just don’t connect one of the more established ones?

I thought it was data out only too, but at my sleep apnea orientation was told (and I double checked that they really meant it) that they could also tweak settings remotely. ResMed. Always possible that they had misunderstood something too, of course.
I don’t know what Find My is like, but NextCloud has PhoneTrack and the corresponding Android app. Sessions can be made public. It’s a bit of a battery hog for me though.
Yeah, I was thinking of systems hosted by someone else, not self-hosted.
It sounds like EteSync is exactly what you’re looking for. A hosted NextCloud instance + DAVx5 is admittedly a bit lacking in the “full privacy” department, and Proton or Tutanota doesn’t integate with the standard calendars, but both would also be valid options IMHO.
It comes down to how you define “soul”.
Do I believe there’s a consciousness that transcends death or exists separately from our physical existence, no.
But if you start talking of ship of Theseus/transponder incident/mind upload -type mental exercises, then yes, I believe “self” is an evolving pattern and a collection of experiences that could theoretically be replicated in another physical manifestation or even in a completely different medium. You could call that, too, “soul”.
Add Finnish to the list, “kirpputori” = flea market.
