There is some scare on Forbes that 16 billion passwords have been leaked. In response the IT security team at work are suggesting people change EVERY password on any site or service you have ever used.

Overreaction?

Completely impractical even if true.

Annual reminder that is imminent. Number, err, 7 (maybe) in a distinguished series.

A crocheted Holliw Knight character with a white head and gray cloak stands in the foreground of a grassy area, flanked by two smaller figures in the background, one with a blue hat and the other with a sword.

@lordsplodge @iain it seems like a wildly inappropriate use of the technology. TBH there aren’t many appropriate uses but this is way out there

Tom Gauld’s recent New Yorker cover makes a nice Lock Screen surprise when it surfaces.

A Tom Gauld painting depicting a lively outdoor scene. It features a yellow car filled with animals and people, set against a backdrop of greenery, mountains, and a cityscape. Various characters are engaged in activities like biking, playing music, reading, and painting

Cat. Box. Duck.

A cat is lying inside an open fruit box, stretching its paws. The box is placed on a patterned rug, with a few toys, including a yellow wooden duck, visible nearby.

@zimpenfish nah. It’s probably not even the same kind of thing.

Some kind of vintage exposure meter. With settings for sunshine and shade.

Hurrah.

@johto not quite retro but I’ve started Pokemon Violet again on Switch 2 and immediately gone to the DLC area, which I had never explored. Not sure it’s a good idea to do that straightaway before anything else but it has let me.

@jefklak that doesn’t make sense. Will have to see what is revealed closer to release.

Hooray. Marvin still works in iPadOS 26. At least for now.

Thanks to iMazing for preserving the app via excellent tip from @craiggrannell - the tip that keeps on rewarding

Wimbledon is about to start. Get in some practice on this floating tennis complex…

A panoramic view of a circular garden or park featuring a prominent archway with decorative towers. The scene is overcast, with greenery surrounding the area, and a circular tennis court visible in the center.

@mattgemmell I think your first suggestion makes some sense. It is an unfamiliar failure pattern for sure
