Asian

Facebook. “The location was spacious and full of tables. The staff were friendly and helpful as I ordered my drinks. There was as a line, so while I waited, I had time to snap pictures.”
489 E Calaveras Blvd.
669-263-6350

New Tung Kee Noodle
Yelp Reviews. I’m an absolute fan and will continue being a loyal patron but be advised that the customer service isn’t great. They are quick to get you seated, have orders taken, you eat, & then get out. The turn over rate here is lightning fast in order to get the next party seated. From management’s standpoint: more patrons seen means more money in the registers. Try not to take it personally.
481 E Calaveras Blvd.
(408) 263-8288

Panda Express
Fast-food chain for Chinese standards, including some health-conscious options.

Chick-fil-A creates Controversy in Milpitas because of anti-LGBTQ stance

Chick-fil-A opening in Milpitas on June 16

By Rhoda Shapiro, June 13, 2022

This Thursday, June 16, Chick-fil-A will be opening in Milpitas. Located in the Town Center at 755 E Calaveras Blvd, the new restaurant will be operating Monday-Saturday from 6:30am-10pm.

Chick-fil-A’s Owner Is Bankrolling Hate Groups Targeting Trans Kids

“They’re doing hardcore, extreme stuff, but they make it seem like it’s a bunch of soup kitchens.

Nearly a decade after Chick-fil-A was called out for donating to anti-LGBTQ+ groups, its owner is still funding efforts to discriminate against the community.

According to a new report from The Daily Beast, an organization called the National Christian Charitable Foundation (NCF) is bankrolling many of the groups hoping to kill the Equality Act. If signed into law, the landmark legislation would mandate equal protections on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in all walks of life, including health care, housing, education, and public accommodations.

The Daily Beast report sparked online backlash, with watchdog organization Citizens for Ethics tweeting: “FYI: the billionaire owner of Chick-fil-A, which promised to stop donating to anti-LGBT causes last year, is participating in a dark money operation fighting to keep the Equality Act from passing.”

Uber Eats lists the best friend chicken places in and near Milpitas where you can get chicken meals brought straight to your home or business. There are dozens.

City of Milpitas receives “Smart 50” award for sustainable infrastructure program

By Eric Shapiro. Milpitas Beat, April 22, 2022

The City of Milpitas has been recognized with a “Smart 50” Award. The annual Smart 50 Awards are given to cities that stand out for having innovative and influential “Smart City” projects, per a partnership between Smart Cities Connect and the Smart Cities Connect Foundation. The term “smart city” refers to cities that are advanced in terms of information and communication technology.

Milpitas has long nurtured its Smart City infrastructure program, part of which has meant constructing new sustainable microgrids while enacting far-reaching water and energy conservation initiatives.

Said a press release from the City, “Delivered in collaboration with ENGIE North America, 10 water and energy infrastructure improvement measures in the construction phase of the initiative are either complete or nearing completion. Combined, these measures will enhance community services and safety, contribute to the City’s Climate Action Plan and resiliency goals, and reduce its operations, maintenance, and utility costs.”

Computer and e-Waste Recycling in & Near Milpitas, CA

Recycling e-waste is a bit of a project: first you need to remove all personal data from the devices, and then you need to find a place that will accept both the type of electronic device and the quantity you wish to recycle, and preferably locally.

Many electronic products (e-waste is old computers, cell phones, PDAs, etc) are used to store personal information. Before donating or recycling your equipment, remember to remove all sensitive and personal information from its memory. Note that simply using your keyboard or mouse to delete files does not necessarily completely remove the information from your device’s memory. Your local software store can provide you with the necessary drive cleaning software appropriate for your system.

Getting Started

How to Wipe a Computer Clean of Personal Data
Short of removing the drive altogether, the best solution is to perform what’s known as a factory reset. As for why you can’t simply clear out your Downloads folder and log out of your accounts, Matt Ham, owner of the service company Computer Repair Doctor, explains that manually purging files isn’t enough.

Local stores that take back electronics in limited amounts

Best Buy
Electronics, Appliances and Fitness Equipment Recycling at Best Buy. You can recycle up to three items per household per day (see categories below for state-specific info, and different limitations on TVs, computer monitors and laptops). If it is a product type that you can buy at Best Buy, they probably recycle it.
