Beloved Apple blog TUAW was shut down in 2015, sold to private equity, then sold to a company in Hong Kong. It recently relaunched as an AI content farm using the stolen identities and bylines of its former human staff. A nightmare:

A Beloved Tech Blog Is Now Publishing AI Articles Under the Names of Its Old Human Staff

TUAW, a site that was shut down 10 years ago, was sold to a private equity firm, then to a company in Hong Kong, and has now stolen its old workers' identities and is running their old work through AI summarizers.

Sometimes you can tell a lot about a person by the domains they register. For no particular reason, I was looking at the domain footprint of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and found a phone number connected to her over the years that was used to register mtgforamerica[.]us back in 2021. The domain's registration records are hidden behind privacy services from anonymize.com, but their privacy system assigns a unique email to each private registrant, so you can still do a reverse search on that and find out what other domains are registered by the same account.

Domaintools finds 21683@anonymize.com was used to register 156 domains, including supportkylerittenhouse[.]com and repealjuneteenth.com. Here's the full list if anyone's interested: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

I"m convinced that any software deployed for medical reasons - implants, tools, analytics, doesn't matter - needs toolchains that generate reproducible builds stored in escrow that are made free and public the moment device support ends.

oookay.
So not only do we believe that Harry Potter is magically descended from dragons, but Draco Malfoy is a Gay veela?.

Also story takes a spot for the number of times one can misspell Avada Kedavra. Lots of things misspelled lots of times across the fandom, (like Fidelius ) but it's the great AK in this silly fanfic.

while we've managed to scrimp and save to make it to kitsune tails' release day, releasing august 1st means we won't see any money for almost 2 months until its the end of september

our other games are currently on sale on itch at eniko.itch.io/ and steam at store.steampowered.com/bundle/… and buying some or all of them would help tremendously

EDIT: just for clarity this is a "we're worried about making rent" situation and not "oh no the business' coffers are looking a little bit empty"

There's still time to join our summer sweepstake and get a chance to win a pair of Envision Glasses or fabulous discounts and prizes 🎉

It turns out Google Chrome ships a default, hidden extension that allows code on `*.google.com` access to private APIs, including your current CPU usage

You can test it out by pasting the following into your Chrome DevTools console on any Google page:

chrome.runtime.sendMessage(
"nkeimhogjdpnpccoofpliimaahmaaome",
{ method: "cpu.getInfo" },
(response) => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));
},
);

... ein #Tipp für #Thunderbird-User:

wenn euer Arbeitgeber euch mit 3000 nutzlosen Mails am Tag zuballert, die über zahllose Mailinglisten von unterschiedlichen Personen geschickt werden, hilft ggf. folgender Trick.

Erzeugt einen #Mailfilter, der Mails, die nicht eure Mailadresse als TO, CC oder BCC enthalten (also die an eine Liste geschickt werden), in einen Ordner für nutzloses ZEUGS verschiebt.

Wenn ihr mehrere Mail-Adressen oder Aliase habt, müsst ihr diese auf gleiche weise dem Filter beibringen und "Alle Bedingungen enthalten" anklicken.

Falls ihr noch andere Filter habt, schiebt den ZEUGS-Filter ganz nach unten, sodass er quasi als letzter Filter verarbeitet wird.
