- I got nerd-snipe-ception today, got nerd sniped within a nerd snipe, and now I'm finally getting back to the task I started this morning... about 4 hours later :D xkcd.com/356/
- ...and now I have a used GPS distribution amplifier on the way to the studio

- It is criminally stupid of Microsoft to enable this by default. As one example issue, let's suppose one of your employees has "kitty videos" in their OneDrive. Now you'll have an archive of "kitty videos" on your enterprise network too!
- Who at Microsoft though this was, in any possible way, a good thing to do? www.techzine.eu/news/securit...
- Convincing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that the blue fluid from bus toilets is a wave-disrupting proton immunity elixir. He signs up for a $1200 monthly subscription for a two-ounce vial. "You have to rub it on your gums," I tell him. "Of course," he answers. It sounds like sneakers in a running dryer.

- Anyone else struggle with whether or not to pack a console cable on every trip "just in case," even though you'll probably never need it? No? Just me? 😅 'm packing up for the Ohio Higher Education Computing Council (OHECC) meeting at the University of Cincinnati! Want to meet up?
- I've learned that "Fruit by the Foot" is called "Fruit Winders" in countries that use the metric system, and that feels like the coward's way out if you ask me
- Could you imagine the response if a democratic president said they didn’t know if they had to uphold the Constitution? How fast would the articles of impeachment be drawn ? 20 minutes at the most

- you know who else came from chicago and was on "a mission from god"
- I really try to resist the pull of being a middle aged man just shaking his head at the world going to hell in a handbasket, but this makes it hard! nymag.com/intelligence...
- Wait, is this why young people address posts as "hi chat," as shorthand for ChatGPT?? I always assumed they were referring to "chat" like the peanut gallery of a Twitch stream or Discord channel... if that is wrong I am disappoint
- It's twitch chat they mean lmao
- It will get lost in the torrent, but hard to overstate how scandalous this is. The national security advisor was communicating via a jerry-rigged version of an encrypted app that *functionally removed the encryption*, meaning an Israeli company could read all his texts. Throw in the towel, folks.
- Despite misleading marketing, Israeli company TeleMessage, used by Trump officials, can access plaintext chat logs. My findings are based on TM SGNL's source code, and they are corroborated by hacked data micahflee.com/despite-misl...

- I have in general become way less tolerant of ‘crunchy’ bullshit since ascension of people like RFK jr. to actual power. Sorry but the obnoxious Reddit science and logic guys were right, you should be scorned for believing objectively wrong things about consequential issues.

- Pet peeve: When someone copies and pastes an AI summary of TFA in a forum thread. IMO it would be better if that person just rattled off their own opinions based on the title alone like 99% of us do. No need to burn down a tree or two for an AI chatbot to churn out a response.

- The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
