There’s nothing like stumbling upon a web 1.0 website. Tiled backgrounds, visitor counters and text background colors. Nostalgic.

Seems unlikely, but that would be amazing if it worked.

OpenAI’s website is bogged down… here comes GPT-5!

I usually get excited about new Apple software releases, but *OS26 released yesterday are a huge disappointment. The Liquid Glass design elements look like Windows Vista and detract from the simple user interface.

… it was a 220” TV in case you were wondering.

I overcame my [wire]shark fears and finally found a rogue DHCP server that’s been driving me nuts for a week!

Umm… what???

192 threads and 1TB of memory seemed like a lot...

I thought that I understood the basics of generative AI, but I'm pretty sure that there's some magic going on... and maybe some randomness too.

I just started using @kagi.com last week - relevant results, no advertising or sponsored content, and private - great experience so far!

220” (9’ high x 18’ wide) video wall. So excited to see the panels finally going in after some installation challenges. Definitely not your average TV!

I use that one too. So much for unique.

When I studied in Australia, we spent a week at a research station on Heron Island. The island was very small (1/2 mile long and 1/5 mile wide) and had a resort on the other side. One side observed daylight savings time and the other didn’t. Literally a 10 minute walk set you back/ahead an hour.

I usually don’t have a problem with daylight savings time, but my brain can’t quite come to terms with it yet this year.

Yikes! I’d imaging there are quite a few (smaller?) orgs who have let their VMware support expire because of the increased prices but haven’t migrated off of it yet. Hopefully the patch will be widely available when it comes out 🀞

When you write an email in a rush, you are valuing your time over other's.

When you put thought into the formatting, clarity, and conciseness, you are valuing their time.

The more people on the email = the more time there is to potentially waste = the more time you should spend on it.

I’m always amazed how much work I can get done at night when Slack, email, and phone are all quiet. Synchronous communication can be so distracting. Productive, but distracting.

It's a neat way to stumble upon interesting information randomly, learn new things, and spend spare moments of boredom without reaching for an algorithmically addictive social media app.

😬 Early adopters beware. Has anyone created a clone of DeepSeek that runs on US servers and employs more security?

Isn't restricting the sale of GPUs to China what caused DeepSeek to develop a more efficient solution in the first place?

Phishing email from PayPal with a phone number to call if you didn't make the payment request.

Phishing email from PayPal with a phone number to call if you didn't make the payment request.

I've been getting a few of these PayPal phishing emails every day. Can't block them because they actually come from paypal.com. Is anyone else getting slammed with this attack?

If you call the phone number, they will almost certainly request your credit card number or access to your computer.
