Listened to some this week's #PCPro podcast and they mentioned an executive who was anthropomorphising #AI talking about AI Layoffs not upgrades and having an an equivalent to #HR for AI 🤦. No doubt they'd be looking for AI to bear the cost/punishment for any legal problems too.

#pocketcasts has introduced a year-in-review thing. I'm only partly surprised by my stats. Not all of these have a Mastodon presence but thanks are due to @DarienGS, @jonhoneyball , @tnargeel and the #pcpro team for their company over the past few years, especially during the long lockdown walks.

Visiting my family, I found the CDROM of the first #Linux I ever installed, it was #Suse Linux 5.2 free on the cover of #PCPro. With a little help from #PCem I got it going again, 22 years later, it's still pretty usable :-o #fvwm2 #Netscape #xf86confighell

OK, so I've been here 10 days now and I'm sticking around, so guess I had better do the #mastodon #introduction thing.

I'm an old #hacker and #journalist who has been writing about #infosec and stuff since what feels like forever. Indeed, I won a 'Technology Journalist of the Year' award back in 1996 for an article called 'Threats to the Internet.' Heh.

I'm a Senior Contributor at #Forbes (don't hate on me) and have been a Contributing Editor of the UK #tech #magazine #PCPro since the very first issue in 1994.

I used to write #books but the novelty* wore off after 20+ being published over the years. I'd like to say that being an #author feeds my wanting to somehow live forever, but most of my books have long since been pulped I imagine.

*Too much hard work, too little monetary reward.

I'm not all about #writing and doing techy stuff, although my #geek handle is well deserved. In my downtime I like to kick back and listen to #music (rock, goth, folk, punk) or get lost #gaming.

I'm here for #learning, #sharing, and #fun. Loving the chilled vibe and will do my best not to spoil things 😉
