Who do the weather folks spend 1-2 minutes telling us what we know (yesterday/current) and 30 seconds on what’s coming up? Spend more time on today/tomorrow and the future radar so we can plan. #cowx
I agree. Windows should be much much more critical of the default set of apps and tasks. Like the MyPhone.exe thing. It's pure junk for almost everybody. But it runs by default. Even if it's really not a performance drain.

The problem should not be seen as debloat scripts breaking things, it should be that they are necessary in the first fuckin' place If Windows didn't cause the cleanup need right out of the gate, we wouldn't have a problem Signed, someone debloating PCs since 9x

I’ve been pretty clear that, while I don’t think we need a ban, something needs to change to address some of the security concerns with TikTok. The RESTRICT Act isn’t it. Even if well-intentioned, the language here is far too broad and leaves the door open for abuse. 1/2

Since Congress will not address school shootings, at some point, we need (to continue) focusing on securing schools and the entire property. Doors (especially) glass cannot be the only barrier to entry. There needs to be a secure perimeter as well.
Wow. This goes beyond the standard social engineering, phishing, gift card requests that all #infosec folks see daily.

Maybe I’m old fashioned, but it seems like the wife of a sitting Supreme Court Justice raising over half a million dollars to wage a culture war on half the country should be the leading story everywhere. It should also be disqualifying for her husband to sit on *the* Court.

A little-known conservative activist group led by Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, collected nearly $600,000 in anonymous donations to wage a cultural battle against the left, a Post investigation found. wapo.st/3ZkKi4k

First try, Microsoft Loop opened to a blank screen. Ok. Not a great first impression, but let's refresh. Nice, the page loaded normally. 5 seconds later, this. And now, it's on every page I click. 😒

Oh noes! The people who trade fake money for fake shares of a company, all based on fear, uncertainty, speculation, and educated/uneducated guesses, are all freaking the fuck out this morning.

CODM was trending on my timeline because they will phase it out in favor of Warzone Mobile. Every video I've seen of WZM looks like a shitty LoFi version of CODM BR. Hope I'm not wrong, but WZM doesn't look all that appealing in gameplay or graphics.
FTA - Taken together, the changes in the House bill would put White, conservative state officials in control of much of the criminal justice system across a significant swathe of Jackson ... more than eight in 10 residents are Black.

What’s happening in Mississippi is blatantly unconstitutional and institutionally racist. It being created by a State Rep. who lives 2 1/2 hours from Jackson. cnn.com/2023/02/27/us/
I think this is a history lesson that many Republican legislators need to see. Not sure that upon seeing it they’d have the courage to do what is right and what most Americans want done for fear of what the minority might do. The real work begins with those that vote for them.

Esther Crawford slept on her office floor to deliver for her company but was still tossed out like dirty bath water. Don’t know who needs to hear this, but live for yourself and not any institution. Your job won’t ever love you.

Extremist politicians are eying cuts to Social Security under the guise of reducing the deficit—even though, by law, the program adds $0 to our national debt. I used my whiteboard to call out this dangerous lie and stand up for the millions of Americans who rely on the program.

As everyone is learning having a Fitbit is useless unless it has a network connection to . Basic functionality, even setting an alarm on some devices is broken when there isn't a network connection. If you've spent any time in the woods, you knew this.

Rather than 6 Rs - the Dems need to find a RINO (like Sinema only on the R side) and elect her/him speaker. Not a hardliner, not a partisan hack, a true bipartisan/moderate conservative with a proven history of doing what's right for the country that happens to have an (R).
