YSK (You Should Know)

To start: Vaccine critics like Mr. Kennedy often give the impression that scientists haven’t seriously researched whether vaccines might cause autism.

In a Times Opinion analysis, we can demonstrate that researchers have.

YSK: How to document that you are a US citizen

https://www.usa.gov/prove-us-citizenship

The most common way to show that you are a US citizen is to show a passport. However, only about 50% of US citizens have a passport.

An alternative to a passport is a Certificate of Citizenship.

Certificates of Citizenship and Naturalization show proof that someone is a U.S. citizen. The website https://www.usa.gov/prove-us-citizenship shows how you can get or replace these documents.

Prove your citizenship: born in the U.S. with no birth certificate. If you were born in the U.S. and have no birth certificate, learn how to get documentation to prove you are a U.S. citizen.

Prove your citizenship: born outside the U.S. to a U.S. citizen parent. Prove your U.S. citizenship without a birth certificate if you were born outside the U.S. to a U.S. citizen.

Instructions

Edit /etc/bluetooth/main.conf (sudo required), go to the line that says #FastConnectable = false and replace it with FastConnectable = true.

Rant

My distro: Fedora 42

If this was common knowledge then I guess I'm just an idiot but I recently found out about this after years of trying to fix it on and off across multiple devices and complaining the whole time that "linux bluetooth sucks" and it has fixed 99% of my problems. My biggest issue was my keyboard refusing to reconnect after it goes to sleep when the same behavior works fine on ~~spyware~~ windows. Quick change, restart the bluetooth service, and it works exactly like you'd expect now. Why it's off by default on a relatively modern wireless chip is beyond me (I suspect power saving on older chips but idk).
