    I was just talking from experience at first. But for example searching I find various articles similar to this one

    Increased abdominal pressure can lead to stiffness in the spine and added stress on the back. Tight belts can exacerbate this pressure, resulting in nerve compression, particularly affecting the femoral cutaneous nerve. This compression can cause not only back pain but also abdominal pain and discomfort, affecting digestive health. Evidence suggests that consistently wearing a tight belt can significantly heighten the risk of chronic back pain by disrupting spinal stability and altering abdominal muscle function. Visible signs, such as red marks on the skin after removing a belt, may indicate its tightness and potential for harm. https://wisehealthtips.com/can-lower-back-discomfort-be-caused-by-belts.html

    Or this

    Lower back and spinal pain Research has linked increased pressure in the abdomen with stiffness in the spine and extra stress on your back. So that extra ergonomic help you had from the office chair isn’t doing much if your belt still sits extra tight on your waist. The back pain is a terrible result of nerve compression which takes place when pressure is applied. https://www.askdrmanny.com/could-your-belt-lead-to-back-pain

    The Federal Communications Commission announced July 28 that it has banned two new categories of devices: “Advanced robotic devices” and connected power inverters produced in foreign countries. According to the FCC, “robotic devices” includes mobile robots, such as humanoids and quadrupeds, and devices “capable of locomotion, obstacle avoidance, navigation, or movement on the ground.” Yes, that means Roombas and other robot vacuums may be considered illegal if they’re produced outside of the United States of America.

    I had to watch it it because the other summary made it sound so bad to me.

    The author is offering some ideas about how make the desktop be more helpful to your working memory.

    It gives various ideas:

    • Organizing wide screens in a sort of perspective plane zoom.
    • Having a sort of note manager combining clipboard and windows.
    • Having a history of apps used, weighting the importance of the window by some actions and time spent so that it can be presented back to you to remember what you where doing.
    • Some of these have potential to be integrated with AI although it was not the main idea.
