I can't help but think a company doing this is irredeemable. Their understanding of business has drifted so far from what's healthy that I think they should be shut down, and regulators should do some long reflection on how to keep others from getting this bad.

I have to say this is one of the most insanely accurate cartoons of the incoming felon, liar, creep, asshole.
#LiarElect #FelonElect #MAGASucks

Cartoon depiction of the old Pez man candy dispenser, but in this drawing, it says Prez on the side and T's head is on top and instead of spewing pez, it spews LIES.

My friend Nick makes his own advent calendar each year.

He may be a genius.

Four boxes of Tunnocks Tea Cakes, laid next to each other 2x2 on a table. Each box (which are yellow with red print, and a clear plastic viewing window) holds 6 tea cakes wrapped in foil. Handwritten labels have been stuck on the boxes above each cake, with the numbers 2-24 in a random order. There was a number 1 but that has been cut out already - a knife and a teacake are sitting on the table above the boxes.

Setting up Kali Linux on a laptop as a dual boot and when flashing the iso to a thumb drive windows stripped out half the files because it thought they were malware.

Does windows defender not know ethical hacking is a thing?

I use AI a fair bit for my day job, and recently came across 1minAI which allows me to access multiple AI models at once from one place. Deffo worth a look if you need to use AI regularly.

It’s all well and good Amazon using the Royal Mail for parcel deliveries, but it would help if the Royal Mail were actually capable of delivering things within the timescales promised.

If you haven't tried Hacking with Swift+ yet, check out the free three-day trial – you don't need a credit card, so it won't automatically become a paying subscription. Even better, I've reset the trials for everyone who tried it previously, so *everyone* can get a trial again.

Streaming is the future. WAY better than linear tv or perhaps a DVR...

Find the app.
Is your TV still current enough to run the app? Good.
Start the app.
Browse the the content. Pick something to watch. Excellent.
Oh you need to sign in. We've blagged you by not saying that up front.
Get your phone to log in. Type this URL. Not found.
(Ok my fault that one. Typo)
Type the code.
Keyboard is set to automatically go from numbers to letters on each press, so you typoed the code. Can you delete? Our HTML geniuses say no. Start again.
Cool thx for the code. Now you need to sign in.
Sign in with credentials I am pretty (REALLY) sure I know. No wrong.
Sign in with other credentials I am certain are the credentials if the above credentials aren't the ones. No. Wrong.
Check email to see if I've ever recived emails from these dudes. Yes. I deffo have an account.
Forgotten password then.
Wait for email.
No email.
Still no email.
Fuck it. Register as new account.
Yes details registered.
Can't see where to put the code in now?
Re-type URL (no typos this time)
Put in code. Make same mistake with the number/alphabet keyboard thing.
Code entered. Nothing happens.
Wait. Nothing happens.
Refresh the page. Sign in please (?!)
Sign in again.
Find code page.
Type in code (Yeahman no typo this time)
TV signs in. Ace.
Click the previously selected programme.
65 sec of adverts.
1m35 of programme.
Buffering.
Sub-VHS quality picture.
Eventually rights itself and we are watching.

THE FUTURE I TELL THEE!!!

My biggest wish for WWDC24 is that they don't show a video of a few dozen developers being crushed by an industrial hydraulic press to create an AI coding assistant for Xcode.

Combining #Aqara humidity / temp sensors with #HomeAssistant to monitor the levels in terrariums. This gives me the ability to have a nice dashboard and also send notifications / announcements on Alexa when levels are too far out of normal.
