    My speculation on this is that China/Russia/whoever targets ISP's in order to identify people by IP that have come to their attention somehow. Your credentials aren't the only poin…

    Uh. 50,000 Lumens? That's a lotta lumens. Which is awesome. But that's also gonna be running at Imalent MS18 flashlights (which to be fair peak at 100,000 lumens) get well over 120…

    Hello. These look great. But a few things that I'd like: 1) The glass does not specify a volume. 2) I'd love a wine-glass, highball and old fashioned style as well.\ 3) The Whisky …

    If that's the case, why can't they coerce Apple into compromising their phone entirely? Why stop at the app store? Or the browser?

    Uh. Did you miss a decimal point? 16.9 trillion divided by 200 million is $84,500. That's a huge difference.

    Perhaps I should have added how I noticed in the first place. I gave it a block of code with a few nested loops and asked it how many times would it run. For a small number 5 x 5 x…

    Not being able to do simple math is a surprisingly huge bug IMO Me: 5000 * 5000 * 5000 ChatGPT: The result of 5000 x 5000 x 5000 is 125,000,000,000,000. Me: 5000 * 5000 ChatGPT: Th…

    Uber took over my local airport, a 100$ fare home now costs $200+ when, as you'd expect, a plane load of people call for an Uber all at once. 'Surge pricing'. Now there's a rank fo…

    This is a surprisingly timely post given the recent "Honest Government Ad | Carbon Credits & Offsets" from JuiceMedia[1]. It's more Australian focused, but it sums it up quite succ…

    I find reads like this interesting, but I'm discouraged when things like "The Nutex Company made radium condoms." are mentioned but are also not quite right[1]. I have doubts now a…
