The charging contacts will be located on the left side of the device instead of the back.

A valid HTML zip bomb

Many sites have been affected by the aggressiveness of web crawlers designed to improve LLMs. I’ve been relatively spared, but since the phenomenon started, I've been looking for a solution to implement. Today, I present a zip bomb gzip and brotli that is valid HTML. The initial problem is the aggressiveness of LLM web crawlers that don't respect robots.txt .

CNET's key takeaways The Helix Madison bed frame, available in natural wood or white, is $929 for a queen before sales. It's straightforward to put together and requires no tools.
