Somehow i doubt this'll affect anyone with "manager", "head", "chief" or "officer" in the name...

I really do wonder why they ended up in this. It can’ be that hard to make even a hacky DIY system to do it automatically.

All-manager team, no devs?

A good project manager

A what now?

What do you use? I'm looking for as many of the following as possible:

  • included battery, preferably rechargeable from the motorcycle's own battery, meaning
  • negligible idle consumption
  • EU coverage, supporting 3-4 constellations
  • 4G+, i provide the e/SIM (i.e. no included plan unless it's grrrreat and cheap af)
  • small form factor (for a naked bike)
  • privacy-respecting app (preferably not relying on AWS, Google Maps, etc) and/or website
  • motion-detection/geofencing
  • cheap of course

I had a cheap one from eBay but the chinese-quality app would sometimes lag hours behind - not useful for an eurotrip.

potential account suspension.

What account?

When Google, along with a consortium of other companies, announced the open-source operating system we call Android way back in 2007, the world was paying attention. The iPhone had launched the same year, and the entire mobile space was wary of the rush of excitement around the admittedly revolutionary device. AOSP (Android Open Source Project) was born, and within a few years Android swallowed up market share with phones of all shapes and sizes from manufacturers all over the globe. Android eventually found its way into TVs, fridges, washing machines, cars, and the in-flight entertainment system of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

a digital wallet is a repository for personal data and documents. Right now, there are hundreds of different wallets, but no standard.

On Wednesday, CrowdStrike released a report outlining the initial results of its investigation into the incident, which involved a file that helps CrowdStrike’s security platform look for signs of malicious hacking on customer devices.

The company routinely tests its software updates before pushing them out to customers, CrowdStrike said in the report. But on July 19, a bug in CrowdStrike’s cloud-based testing system — specifically, the part that runs validation checks on new updates prior to release — ended up allowing the software to be pushed out “despite containing problematic content data.”

...

When Windows devices using CrowdStrike’s cybersecurity tools tried to access the flawed file, it caused an “out-of-bounds memory read” that “could not be gracefully handled, resulting in a Windows operating system crash,” CrowdStrike said.

Couldn't it, though? 🤔

And CrowdStrike said it also plans to move to a staggered approach to releasing content updates so that not everyone receives the same update at once, and to give customers more fine-grained control over when the updates are installed.

I thought they were already supposed to be doing this?

I'm still to see the doc where MS is forced to give ring-0, certified, boot-start to everyone.

At least a dozen organizations with domain names at domain registrar Squarespace saw their websites hijacked last week. Squarespace bought all assets of Google Domains a year ago, but many customers still haven’t set up their new accounts. Experts say malicious hackers learned they could commandeer any migrated Squarespace accounts that hadn’t yet been registered, merely by supplying an email address tied to an existing domain.

The NSA has a video recording of a 1982 lecture by Adm. Grace Hopper titled “Future Possibilities: Data, Hardware, Software, and People.” The agency is (so far) refusing to release it.

Basically, the recording is in an obscure video format. People at the NSA can’t easily watch it, so they can’t redact it. So they won’t do anything.

Funny how there's a lot of wired vs wireless hate in the comments, can't really pin down the reason. Generational?

Wired will always be more stable and faster, whereas wireless is more ubiquitous. If you work at a fixed position, prefer wired. If wired is unavailable, well, you'll have to make do with wireless. USB-C dongles and docking stations are a thing, so the laptop doesn't have it argument doesn't hold.

Not to mention not everyone has a garage or nearby charging spot to charge an ev.

Perhaps dealing with infrastructure first would be interesting...
