Ugh. Stupid APC UPS with it's proprietary network card and screwball console interface. I bought a secondhand network card for my UPSes, and one of them has a non-default password set.
The password reset procedure is a pain in the ass, and involved a cursed console cable.

Update. Here's an unrefereed letter to the editor leaving the false impression that the UK #REF requires researchers to publish in #APC-based #OpenAccess journals. (It doesn't require publishing in OA journals; authors may choose #GreenOA instead; and when they do choose to publish in OA journals, they are free to choose no-APC or #DiamondOA journals.)

The _Journal of Optical Microsystems_ has been an #APC-based #OpenAccess journal. It knows that its APCs have excluded authors unable to find funding and it wants to solve that problem. But its solution is to switch to #hybrid — removing the APC for some articles but removing OA for the same articles.

The editorial announcing the change describes #DiamondOA, among other approaches. So we know that the journal knows about the model, and knows that it could remove APCs and keep OA at the same time. But the journal did not choose diamond OA and the editorial doesn't explain why.

The editorial board of the 52-yr old _Journal of Human Evolution_ just resigned to protest #Elsevier's interference with editorial practices, reducing journal quality, and insistence on a high #APC ($3990), reducing its affordability to authors in the field. "We all care deeply about the journal, our discipline, and our academic community; however, we find we can no longer work with Elsevier in good conscience."

There's no sign yet that the editors will launch a new #OpenAccess journal somewhere else. So I've not yet added it to the #OAD list of journal #DeclarationsOfIndependence

I just got two pieces of #spam in one week from _Medical Sciences_, an #MDPI journal. The first invited me to submit an article and offered me a discount on its #APC. The second nagged me for not responding to the first.
I'm not a medical researcher. My fields are philosophy, law, and open access. This is easy to discover in a simple web search.
If this medical journal knows my fields, then why is it soliciting an article from me? If it doesn't know my fields, then why is it soliciting an article from me?
Does it realize that its emails prove that it's spamming researchers at random without knowing the first thing about them?
I'm sure you get this kind of spam too. When you find time, I urge you to post about it and name names.
I don't do this often enough. Here are two earlier examples.

Authors get another publication for their resumes, perhaps a PubMed-indexed publication. If it's a #commentary, not a research article, they needn't do any new research. Journals get an #APC, citations to game their impact factor (#JIF), or both.

LOL. Now my house decides to retain heat like it wasn’t a shamble bundle of sticks. Bedroom never went below 72, so that’s awful. Slept like crap. So today, still without proper AC, gonna track the outside temp and put a window fan in and blow the heat outside. I’m kinda serious that 60 is my happy temp. I fucking hate heat beyond that. Everything is sticky and uncomfortable. Also today, my battery repack on my worthless #APC #UPS didn’t work, so I have to crack it open and find out why. #work

@Doreen32128 @hanse_mina yeah, just think that #putin wanted to take #Vuhledar that he sacrificed tens of thousands of #russians hundreds of #tanks and #apc just for a small town that used to have a population of 17.000 just for he thinks he should control #Ukraine
We seen the same kind of madness repeat time after time, but good for Ukraine is that #russia will soonish run out of the soviet equipment and young men in best fighting age.
The @aaas slams #APCs in its comments on the draft #NIH #OpenAccess policy:
https://www.aaas.org/news/aaas-applauds-nih-draft-public-access-policy-equity-focus-and-urges-revisions-business-model
"Some #OpenAccess business models create new hurdles for authors & freeze in place existing inequities. While none of the existing business models is perfect, [#APC-based] gold open access is far less equitable to scientists. Gold open access leads to significant financial & professional impacts depending on one’s institution, discipline, career stage, geography or gender."

Update. Here's another unrefereed editorial on #OpenAccess. Even after acknowledging the existence of no-fee OA journals (#DiamondOA) and no-fee #GreenOA, it asserts this howler: "OA also has certain disadvantages. First, OA is a paid service, and not all authors can face publication expenses, namely the #APC."

Update. Here's a letter from a reader upset that the Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons is converting to #APC-based #OpenAccess. He doesn't like APCs and I don't blame him. But while criticizing the journal for adopting that model, he also criticizes OA journals as such, making the false assumption that all or even most of them use APCs.
