Is Utah nominating itself for the Darwin Awards?

Interesting, but unplayable on mobile, the onscreen keyboard obscures the clues, so you have to keep hiding and showing the keyboard.

In the Netherlands this is common knowledge, there's even a nursery rhyme about it:

Absolutely!

I mentioned it last week.

Boarder?

Defenestration in .. three .. two ..

So .. the reality of this is that these vulnerabilities exist for all microchips, since the purchaser and the user have absolutely no insight into the innards of any of this.

Microchips are made all over the globe and rarely .. if ever .. in a country where the political system matches your own, unless you happen to live in the country where the chips you're using are actually manufactured there and even then you don't know who is watching what.

In other words, this is not a new issue, nor is it limited to one country, it affects all of us.

While we're at it, software has exactly the same issues.

Why do you think that ICT professionals keep advocating for open source solutions?

Where is this utopia?

Is it just me, or is that IKEA shelving?

Look at tailscale.

You mean like the Nepalese government did?

How much waste they take up with them?

If it's more than 8kg, I'm guessing that the only missing requirement for the refund is to increase the number to make it that every climber brings down more than they take up.

In other words, put every climber on the scales before they go up and unless they weigh more when they come back, they don't get their money back.

Bonus reward for each extra kg.

So .. now we have plausible gibberish .. also known as Autocorrect on Steroids .. that includes corporate sponsorship.. seems like we're moving closer to the true meaning of advertising with every iteration.

Next we'll be asked to pay for this feature .. oh wait.

I can't wait until the Assumed Intelligence bubble finally bursts and takes with it some of the largest companies in the world .. perhaps this is how we finally address climate change.

As long as you're comfortable and the client pays .. Win!

So the net of obligation, ownership and mutually assured destruction continues to tighten?

At some point this is going to explode .. right?

Wow.

That's some list.

Do you know all those songs, or is there a (substantial) gap between expectations and reality?

The article is light on detail. No actual list of who's in the song.

Here's the full list of 119 references:

In my experience, the best way to get a cat to come to you is to completely ignore it. More often than not it will come to investigate.

As best as I can tell, it's simply impossible for a cat to imagine that you're not aware of them, like they are hyper aware of you, and ignoring it signals that you don't think that it's a threat. Mutual slow blinking may or may not be involved.

Note that I'm not a cat expert, haven't lived with a cat since I was eight, but most cats seem to come over to say "Hi" when I'm visiting friends, to the point where owners seem to regularly exclaim that they've never seen their cat come over to a stranger.

YMMV.
