#improper installed devices
Remember kids! A war crime is
Intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population as such or against individual civilians not taking direct part in hostilities;
Intentionally directing attacks against civilian objects, that is, objects which are not military objectives;
Intentionally directing attacks against personnel, installations, material, units or vehicles involved in a humanitarian assistance or peacekeeping mission in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, as long as they are entitled to the protection given to civilians or civilian objects under the international law of armed conflict;
Intentionally launching an attack in the knowledge that such attack will cause incidental loss of life or injury to civilians or damage to civilian objects or widespread, long-term and severe damage to the natural environment which would be clearly excessive in relation to the concrete and direct overall military advantage anticipated;

Intentionally directing attacks against buildings dedicated to religion, education, art, science or charitable purposes, historic monuments, hospitals and places where the sick and wounded are collected, provided they are not military objectives;
Subjecting persons who are in the power of an adverse party to physical mutilation or to medical or scientific experiments of any kind which are neither justified by the medical, dental or hospital treatment of the person concerned nor carried out in his or her interest, and which cause death to or seriously endanger the health of such person or persons;
Killing or wounding treacherously individuals belonging to the hostile nation or army;
Declaring that no quarter will be given;
Destroying or seizing the enemy's property unless such destruction or seizure be imperatively demanded by the necessities of war;
Declaring abolished, suspended or inadmissible in a court of law the rights and actions of the nationals of the hostile party;
Compelling the nationals of the hostile party to take part in the operations of war directed against their own country, even if they were in the belligerent's service before the commencement of the war;
Pillaging a town or place, even when taken by assault;
Employing poison or poisoned weapons;
Employing asphyxiating, poisonous or other gases, and all analogous liquids, materials or devices;
Employing bullets which expand or flatten easily in the human body, such as bullets with a hard envelope which does not entirely cover the core or is pierced with incisions;
Employing weapons, projectiles and material and methods of warfare which are of a nature to cause superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering or which are inherently indiscriminate in violation of the international law of armed conflict, provided that such weapons, projectiles and material and methods of warfare are the subject of a comprehensive prohibition and are included in an annex to this Statute, by an amendment in accordance with the relevant provisions set forth in articles 121 and 123;
Committing outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment;
Committing rape, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy, as defined in article 7, paragraph 2 (f), enforced sterilization, or any other form of sexual violence also constituting a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions;

help I'm back in my Rhythm Doctor phase (For real, though, certain posts from now on will purely feature RD content... SRB2 will have to wait ig.)
I guess I'll drop some intern-related headcanons here. (Under cut!)
Y'see, my interpretation of the Intern(s) is not any physical entity - not a robot, not any specific Internsona, not even a hand... it's a system. A system of wires and devices made specifically for volunteers to the Rhythm Doctor initiative to connect to and defibrillate patients with.
...Except it went in a bit of a wrong way, being haunted by the spirit of a patient falling victim to improper treatment. That patient being the representation of myself:
Tumblr media
(More info on custom gimmick will be posted later if requested!)
A side-effect of this 'takeover' is that the numerous TVs that were installed to optionally show the face of the intern(s) at work can also show a form that the reawakened soul of Kirl came up with to represent himself again:
Tumblr media
(I can imagine the only thing Kirl remembered once he woke up was that he was a huge Sonic fan-) (Special thanks to @emo-hermit for both of the templates btw!)
I'm gonna briefly go on a tangent about how exactly the whole thing works. There's two ways an intern can defibrillate a patient, and both are still left around by Ian in case the less effective one still has a use in its distance:
Method A: Direct Connection A wire comes down and directly connects to the patient's heart. Can only be used within the hospital's walls, but it's the more effective method in comparison. This is also the only method currently equipped with a prototype of the "Miracle Cure" Ian has been working on, though it isn't active yet (during the events of the game).
Method B: Remote Shock Control A device is stuck onto the patient's chest, close to where their heart would be. This device is then remotely told to deliver slight shocks to the heart for a less effective defibrillation at a much greater distance than Method A. The further away from the hospital, though, the greater the input delay… (Used throughout Act 4.)
Tumblr media
alright I'm gonna end it here because I ran out of things to say💥

Sci Fi Whump Ideas
Alright I saw interaction so I took that as ‘go for it’ (but I also got slammed into the pavement by school so this is very late)
-Pain regulators originally came forward as alternative treatments to medicinal pain relief that posed no risk of addiction or misuse. Many are used to deal with pain after injuries but those who have it installed in the central nervous system can change the settings to not feel pain, only feel one kind of pain, or even feel little to nothing at all.
-When space travel came into the mix the problem of blood floating away from a wound became evident. The solution of a gel-backed bandage was invented. It can slow what would be a fatal wound to a trickle of blood for hours and even days depending. Unfortunately if not used correctly it can damage the tissue and cause infection to go unnoticed.
-When there is no time for stitches or any other kind of binding treatment, there is a product that can be applied to temporarily bind something that may need stitches. It’s a plastic-like ‘glue’ that is applied to cleaned open wounds. Many have reported it’s a cold, tingling, and sometimes pinching sensation. Many others have described it as burning, freezing, or like the wound was being inflicted again.
-Blood can be difficult to handle, so a solution was found. A small device was created that takes a small amount of the patients blood, clones that blood, and pumps it back into the patient. Difficulties being there must be a minimum amount of blood to be taken in order to be cloned, the blood cannot be contaminated in any ways (ie infection, poisoning, etc), and it is a rather time consuming effort. There are mixed opinions about whether or not it is an effective treatment.
-Cyborg ‘shells’ have often been used on a wounded area of the body, allowing full range of motion and the previous abilities while wounds heal beneath it. It is difficult as the ‘shells’ require maintenance and wounds beneath them must also be taken into account so they heal properly. It is not recommended to participate in open space travel while a ‘shell’ is in use.
-The first-aid kits of many spaceships include a pair of glasses that guide users through step by step instructions of wound care and maintenance. Unfortunately they need an adequate assessment of the wound, are rather delicate, and are notoriously difficult when in need of an update. This has led to improper administration of first-aid as the program glitches or tries to recommend care without full knowledge.

Can a Fire Alarm Go Off for No Reason? Exploring Common Causes and Solutions
Fire alarms are crucial devices designed to safeguard lives and property by detecting the presence of smoke or fire. However, there are instances where fire alarms may seem to go off without any apparent reason, causing confusion and concern among occupants. In this article, we will explore the potential reasons behind a fire alarm activating unexpectedly and discuss possible solutions.
Dust and Debris: One common reason for false alarms is the accumulation of dust and debris within the fire alarm's sensors. Over time, these particles can interfere with the sensor's functionality, leading to false readings and triggering the alarm. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the alarm system can help mitigate this issue.
Insects and Pests: Insects and pests can find their way into fire alarm devices, particularly in areas where the devices are not sealed adequately. The movement of insects or the presence of pests can trigger the alarm, even in the absence of an actual fire. Ensuring that the devices are properly sealed and periodically inspecting for pests can help prevent false alarms.
Environmental Factors: Environmental conditions such as high humidity, rapid temperature changes, or the presence of steam can affect fire alarm sensors. Some alarms are sensitive to these factors and may activate erroneously. It is essential to install fire alarms suitable for the specific environment and regularly check for any changes in environmental conditions that could impact the system.
Malfunctioning Equipment: Like any electronic device, fire alarms can experience malfunctions. Faulty wiring, damaged components, or a malfunctioning power source can lead to false alarms. Regular inspections and testing of the entire fire alarm system can help identify and address any potential issues before they cause unwarranted alarms.
Interference from Other Devices: Interference from electronic devices operating on similar frequencies can also lead to false alarms. It's important to ensure that the fire alarm system is installed away from sources of electromagnetic interference and that the devices are properly shielded.
Improper Installation: Incorrect installation of fire alarm systems can contribute to false alarms. Each component must be installed according to the manufacturer's specifications and guidelines. If not, the system may not function as intended, leading to false activations.
While fire alarms are indispensable for ensuring the safety of occupants in buildings, false alarms can be disruptive and potentially dangerous if they lead to complacency. Regular maintenance, proper installation, and awareness of environmental factors are essential to minimize the risk of false alarms. If false activations persist, it is crucial to seek professional assistance to diagnose and address the underlying issues, ensuring that the fire alarm system remains reliable in times of actual emergencies. If you need professional fire alarm service contact Fire Alarm Houston, an Alif Security Company, which was founded in 2001 and recognized as the Best Provider of Fire Alarm Systems in Houston, TX

Had a plumber to the house this morning.
A shower handle was broken. I loathe doing anything plumbing related myself. I imagine I will stop tightening a bolt 1/8 of a turn too soon, a tiny drip of water ensues, goes unnoticed for a few weeks, and only manifests when the upstairs toilet crashes through a soggy bathroom floor and kills me as I watch TV.
The things I worry about.
A few years ago I bought a new dishwasher. Being curious (what I thought) and annoying (what the installer probably thought) I watched him install the new KitchenAid. Before he attached some bottom panel he put a small device on the floor, under the dishwasher. He explained it was a water sensor. If there was a leak from improper installation this thing would sound like a smoke detector. The battery is good for about two years, he explained. Wow! I thought about getting some of those things and putting them everywhere.
You might think I had a bad experience with plumbing in the past. Not true, but I’m not sure why I worry about it so much. Earlier this year my brother’s 20th floor apartment was flooded when a toilet broke in an unoccupied unit near him. So don’t think my worries are for naught.
Today’s plumber had been here before. He’s super low key, and I like him a lot. His van is a plain, white Ford with a modest decal displaying the company name. I’ve never been impressed by contractors, usually roofers, who drive a Ford F-350 with a lift kit and $10,000 in custom wheels and tires... on a work truck.
The plumber charges a flat rate for the first hour. The shower fix wouldn’t take that long so he suggested I could have him look at anything else while he was there.
My laundry tub faucets are ancient and crusty and difficult to operate. If I sell the house someday these will not be positive selling points. So I had the plumber replace them.
I love how they now look and feel. I ran some water just so I could experience how much easier the faucets could be turned on and off. Probably will do that again after this work meeting is over.

I'm old enough to remember it was a conspiracy theory when Trump said so.
Now the government admits how vulnerable the system is. 
2.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW
NOTE: Mitigations to reduce the risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities can be found in Section 3 of this document.
2.2.1    IMPROPER VERIFICATION OF CRYPTOGRAPHIC SIGNATURE CWE-347
The tested version of ImageCast X does not validate application signatures to a trusted root certificate. Use of a trusted root certificate ensures software installed on a device is traceable to, or verifiable against, a cryptographic key provided by the manufacturer to detect tampering. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to install malicious code, which could also be spread to other vulnerable ImageCast X devices via removable media. 
CVE-2022-1739 has been assigned to this vulnerability. 
2.2.2    MUTABLE ATTESTATION OR MEASUREMENT REPORTING DATA CWE-1283
The tested version of ImageCast X’s on-screen application hash display feature, audit log export, and application export functionality rely on self-attestation mechanisms. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to disguise malicious applications on a device.
CVE-2022-1740 has been assigned to this vulnerability. 
2.2.3    HIDDEN FUNCTIONALITY CWE-912
The tested version of ImageCast X has a Terminal Emulator application which could be leveraged by an attacker to gain elevated privileges on a device and/or install malicious code.
CVE-2022-1741 has been assigned to this vulnerability. 
2.2.4    IMPROPER PROTECTION OF ALTERNATE PATH CWE-424
The tested version of ImageCast X allows for rebooting into Android Safe Mode, which allows an attacker to directly access the operating system. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges on a device and/or install malicious code.
CVE-2022-1742 has been assigned to this vulnerability. 
2.2.5    PATH TRAVERSAL: '../FILEDIR' CWE-24
The tested version of ImageCast X can be manipulated to cause arbitrary code execution by specially crafted election definition files. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to spread malicious code to ImageCast X devices from the EMS. 
CVE-2022-1743 has been assigned to this vulnerability. 
2.2.6    EXECUTION WITH UNNECESSARY PRIVILEGES CWE-250
Applications on the tested version of ImageCast X can execute code with elevated privileges by exploiting a system level service. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges on a device and/or install malicious code.
CVE-2022-1744 has been assigned to this vulnerability. 
2.2.7    AUTHENTICATION BYPASS BY SPOOFING CWE-290
The authentication mechanism used by technicians on the tested version of ImageCast X is susceptible to forgery. An attacker with physical access may use this to gain administrative privileges on a device and install malicious code or perform arbitrary administrative actions.
CVE-2022-1745 has been assigned to this vulnerability. 
2.2.8    INCORRECT PRIVILEGE ASSIGNMENT CWE-266
The authentication mechanism used by poll workers to administer voting using the tested version of ImageCast X can expose cryptographic secrets used to protect election information. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to gain access to sensitive information and perform privileged actions, potentially affecting other election equipment.
CVE-2022-1746 has been assigned to this vulnerability. 
2.2.9    ORIGIN VALIDATION ERROR CWE-346
The authentication mechanism used by voters to activate a voting session on the tested version of ImageCast X is susceptible to forgery. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to print an arbitrary number of ballots without authorization.
CVE-2022-1747 has been assigned to this vulnerability. 
2.3 BACKGROUND
CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SECTORS Government Facilities / Election Infrastructure
COUNTRIES/AREAS DEPLOYED: Multiple
COMPANY HEADQUARTERS LOCATION: Denver, Colorado
2.4 RESEARCHER
J. Alex Halderman, University of Michigan, and Drew Springall, Auburn University, reported these vulnerabilities to CISA.
3. MITIGATIONS
CISA recommends election officials continue to take and further enhance defensive measures to reduce the risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities. Specifically, for each election, election officials should: 
Contact Dominion Voting Systems to determine which software and/or firmware updates need to be applied. Dominion Voting Systems reports to CISA that the above vulnerabilities have been addressed in subsequent software versions.
Ensure all affected devices are physically protected before, during, and after voting.
Ensure compliance with chain of custody procedures throughout the election cycle. 
Ensure that ImageCast X and the Election Management System (EMS) are not connected to any external (i.e., Internet accessible) networks.
Ensure carefully selected protective and detective physical security measures (for example, locks and tamper-evident seals) are implemented on all affected devices, including on connected devices such as printers and connecting cables.
Close any background application windows on each ImageCast X device.
Use read-only media to update software or install files onto ImageCast X devices.
Use separate, unique passcodes for each poll worker card.
Ensure all ImageCast X devices are subjected to rigorous pre- and post-election testing.
Disable the “Unify Tabulator Security Keys” feature on the election management system and ensure new cryptographic keys are used for each election.
As recommended by Dominion Voting Systems, use the supplemental method to validate hashes on applications, audit log exports, and application exports.
Encourage voters to verify the human-readable votes on printout. 
Conduct rigorous post-election tabulation audits of the human-readable portions of physical ballots and paper records, to include reviewing ballot chain of custody and conducting voter/ballot reconciliation procedures.

Massage Chairs with airbag & their uses
Massage chairs are new inventions in homes that have helped people find means of relaxation and remedy from sitting at home. In the current generation of massage chairs, several factors set them apart from their predecessors, and for the consumer, the idea of an airbag massage chair is especially attractive since it provides all the comfort and relaxation that is expected from one of these modern wonders. Based on the characteristics of such chairs, they allow you to relax and effectively deal with muscle tension and improve blood circulation in the body, which cannot be achieved without massage chairs with airbags. Also, we will provide information about maintaining the chair and some safety suggestions for the customer to have the best experience with the massage chair.
Airbag massage chairs are used for obtaining various specific deep tissue massages. Unlike regular massaging techniques that use human touch, these chairs use pneumatic airbags and massage rollers to deliver different levels of intensity and massage-type patterns giving the user full control.
Airbag Massage Chairs: Knowing How it Works.
Massage chairs with airbags have inflatable pads at specific areas in the body that are used to press gently against the skin. The air within these bags can be made to expand and contract thereby assuming the role of hands of a professional masseuse. The areas in which an airbag may deploy include the shoulders, arms, hips, legs, and feet. The synchronization of muscle massage with other airbag massage mechanisms gives a total and very effective massage system.
Airbag Massage Chairs
Alleviating Muscle Tension
Among the common positive effects offered by massage chairs with airbags is the effort of relaxing the muscles. There are a lot of reasons that may lead to muscle tension, among which are stress, improper posture, and physical work. Airbags focus on special muscles for example shoulders back and legs and then release knotted muscles. The pneumatic compression machine is a device that provides a gentle massaging effect to the muscles by inflating and deflating the airbags.
Improving Circulation
Proper circulation is essential to health as it promotes the supply of blood and oxygen to different parts of the body. The airbags in the massage chairs perform the function of pumping the blood thus enhancing circulation. For instance, the airbags in the legs and feet function by inflation and deflation which helps circulate blood back to the heart. This additional blood flow can be used to relieve swelling, improve fatigue, and speed up post-exercise recovery.
Offering a comfortable massage experience.
Airbags are used to provide a strong massaging effect which is very relaxing. However, unlike some mechanical rollers that can be very intense, airbags are better suited for a lighter touch, which is perfect for those who like a relaxing massage. This makes airbag massage chairs ideal for people of all ages and states of health. The feeling of being surrounded and protected by airbags can also be effective in lowering stress and anxiety levels and thus improving psychological health.
Main Characteristics of Airbags in Massage Chairs.
Shoulder Airbags
Shoulder airbags are intended to cushion the neck and shoulder muscles. They work by expanding to apply subtle downward and inward pressure on the shoulders to relieve tension and improve posture. This is especially useful for people who sit in offices for many hours of the day and people who have chronic shoulder pains.
Airbags for the arm and hand.
These airbags are installed on the armrests and distribute pressure on arms and hands to relieve tension and improve blood circulation. This is particularly helpful to people who use their hands in repetitive work or suffer from conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome.
Hip and Waist Airbags.
The pillows positioned around the lower side of the hips and waist assist in keeping the lower part of the body stable during the massage. They massage the hips and waist lightly to relieve lower back pain and correct posture. This is specifically useful to those who have a poor and inactive lifestyle or people who have lower back pain.
Leg and Foot Airbags.
Leg and foot airbags are made to massage the calves, ankles, and feet. These work by expanding and contracting in a periodic motion to replicate the kneading and squeezing motion. This helps in easing leg fatigue as well as edema and enhancing venous return to the lower limbs in general. It is particularly helpful for those who are on their feet for long hours as it can be refreshing.
Massage chairs incorporating inclusive technologies.
Increased Circulation: inflate and deflate the muscles to enhance better circulation of blood and oxygen to the body.
Reduced Muscle Tension: Compression infusions help to relieve generalized muscle tension and discomfort.
Improved Flexibility: Studies show that airbags can help to improve the mobility of the spine and make the back feel less rigid.
Enhanced Relaxation: They help the body to release tension knots and stress.
Elevating the Massage Experience
Massage chairs that incorporate the use of airbags have seen tremendous improvement and development in the way we are now able to enjoy massage therapy in the comfort of our homes. From relieving muscle pain to enhancing blood flow and providing the ultimate stress reduction for the mind and body, these revolutionary chairs provide a unique and indulgent experience tailored for every individual.
The ability to harness the potential of airbag technology has established the massage chair as a premier wellness device capable of offering personal and tailored therapy for improving the health and well-being of various body parts. If the machine is taken care of and caution taken then an airbag massage chair can be a perfect and long-term investment in health and relaxation. providing a sanctuary of relaxation in your own living space.

In this guide, we'll explore the importance of gas leak detection in Melbourne and discuss the steps homeowners can take to safeguard their homes and families.
Understanding the Risks of Gas Leaks
Gas leaks can occur for various reasons, including faulty appliances, damaged pipelines, or improper installation. Regardless of the cause, gas leaks pose serious risks to homeowners, including:
Health Hazards: Inhalation of natural gas or propane can lead to symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of gas can result in asphyxiation or even death.

There are several methods for detecting gas leaks in residential properties, including:
Gas Detectors: Gas detectors are devices that monitor the air for the presence of combustible gases such as natural gas or propane. They emit an audible alarm or visual indicator when gas levels exceed a safe threshold, alerting homeowners to potential leaks.
Gas Leak Tests: Professional plumbers can conduct gas leak tests using specialized equipment to detect leaks in gas lines, fittings, and appliances. This may involve pressurizing the system with an inert gas and using a sensitive detector to pinpoint the location of leaks.
Routine Inspections: Regular inspections of gas appliances, pipelines, and fittings by qualified professionals can help identify potential issues before they develop into major problems. Inspections should be conducted annually or as recommended by manufacturers and local regulations.
What to Do If You Suspect a Gas Leak
If you suspect a gas leak in your Melbourne home, it's essential to take immediate action to protect yourself and your family:
Evacuate: Leave the area immediately and evacuate all occupants from the building.
Ventilate: Open windows and doors to allow fresh air to enter the premises and disperse any accumulated gas.
Turn Off Gas Supply: If it is safe to do so, shut off the main gas supply valve to the property to prevent further leakage.
Avoid Ignition Sources: Do not use electrical appliances, light switches, or any other potential ignition sources, as they could ignite gas vapors and cause an explosion.
Contact Emergency Services: Call your local gas provider or emergency services to report the leak and seek assistance from qualified professionals.
Conclusion
In conclusion, gas leak detection is essential for protecting homes and families from the health hazards, safety risks, and property damage associated with gas leaks. By investing in gas detection systems, conducting routine inspections, and knowing how to respond in the event of a leak, homeowners in Melbourne can safeguard their properties and enjoy peace of mind knowing that they are prepared to address potential gas-related emergencies.
