Cemeteries should be relatively clean BT-free zones, but they can also be difficult to navigate, so why not attach an AirTag to a rose for grandma and toss it in, so you can find her next year?

I did a scan and my body is still only emitting IPX, so I will be visiting my PCP soon!


I was working on my front door and needed to get prone for a few minutes, when of course someone came along and commanded me to move, so I apologized that I couldn't immediately comply, and he fulminated for a while until stepping over my legs, and it wasn't the first time

I had always considered myself considerate and not blocking people and following posted etiquette rules and staying out of the way and being courteous in traffic but it seems the way now is to just follow commands by strangers and accept their abuse because I’m racist/sexist/privileged/trash


ADT is the company that sells signs you put in your front yard to make burglars consider robbing your neighbors instead, right?

Don't forget the predatory door-to-door salesman implying you're going to get your house shot up and robbed tonight if you don't sign up now.

The only difference is instead of being robbed one time, you get robbed monthly for an overpriced three to six year commitment.


A PR from the MANPADS codebase is always a dead giveaway

When 250 years old you reach, look as good, you will not!

I received email a few weeks ago and it landed in Spam, so I contacted Live Agent Chat and asked if they sent it.

“No! That is a scam! Do not click on anything in there!”

I copy/pasted more and said “So there is actually no annual vote for board members this year?”

And the agent thought for a while and said “oh, that, yes that is real!”


All he needed to do was grab a mobile device, install the Mobile Banking App which is surely available in his region, and then get past Cloudflare/Anubis, sign into it with the credentials he set up beforehand, correctly answer the MFA challenges in the official Augustinian SIM or Augustinian Peruvian Outlook, and then poke around in the Settings gear or Profile Dropdown or tap his avatar or Contact info until he discovers it’s greyed out, then use the Customer Service chat where live agents are available in a Chicago timezone, and then the agent informs him they are powerless to update that info because the chat connection is 3rd party/unauthenticated, and please call our Customer Service phone number during Chicago hours.

Then he can recount his tale of woe before getting to the point where he is suddenly a public figure where everyone knows where he lives, his mother’s maiden name, the street where he grew up, his Kindergarten teacher, and all his donkeys’ names

Then he can post the PII update to X @pontifex and go viral


This is the definition of convenience.

What if you just apply for a free sublicense and you get approved and your massive cadre of attorneys aren't fighting each other over 5 letters?

Apparently some HN people think that MS is so sleazy that they will just go "GPL yoink" and start running/advertising/supporting Linux without notice or consent the benevolent dictator. That's projection.


They are planning a 6-minute funeral and a 30-second commitment, while the left side teases a documentary on the birth of Mark Thompson's children

Food and beverage cans are made of plastics with a metallic wrapper. Don't worry -- I'm sure it's BPA-free!
