Apple makes incredible products, but their teenage angst corporate temper tantrums are vomit inducing. Might be time to vote with my dollar on other tech.

^ THIS. Where I’ve worked, there has been a severe degradation over time of actual leaders, and an increase in managers who have no clue how to lead or inspire. One thing I have or…

Have to agree. I miss my 90s internet.

Lecture prep. Much of my teaching I have to convey accurate definitions of terminologies and give real world examples. ChatGPT etc speeds this process up.

Click bait. Author says you should still enable encryption at rest.

Sounds desperate on behalf of SAG-AFTRA. I call bullshit.

I have no faith in any of Google’s endeavours lasting. When you sign up for any Google service, you’re essentially a human lab rat with the odds being the service will be unceremon…

Only reason I currently pay on the lowest ad-supported tier is for language learning purposes. The overall content is lacklustre and I have absolutely no loyalty to Netflix. Comple…

I have absolutely no sympathy for the airlines. As I write this, I’m in the process of suing a well-known Canadian airline for lying about conditions leading to a flight cancellati…

Completely disagree. I recall within the first few chapters using the line “How am I supposed to do that?” on a crazy exec I worked with, which had them reflect on their ridiculous…

I’ve done HIPAA assessments. That nurse should stick to her day job.

Agreed. And tired of them being hacked into, deciding to change their pricing model, retiring the product, etc. no replacement for good old note taking and using your noggin’.

We’re getting there. Pair ChatGPT with this kind of technology, and you have a very impressive AI assistant.

I’ve learned to embrace the technology as a prof. Even though in its current state it can be spotty, it’s a given it’s going to continuously improve. AI “detectors” are not going t…

I’m officially evicting my hamster to make room for one of these, cute as a button, antler rodents.

This been around a while, but I used it with success teaching students all about pesky web app vulns. There's one thing reading about them in a book, it's a whole other level getti…

Meetings absolutely need to be more scrutinized. In every last organization I’ve worked for, I’ve endured countless meetings wasting my time and others time with no agenda, endless…

Lots of great advise here. Only thing I’d add is look at the junior positions that you might not associate as security, but definitely do touch on it: helpdesk, deskside support, e…

Elon begone. I am so over this megalomaniac and his pompous, man-child behaviour.

Was just told to start prepping for work travel for our “special” clients who want to see us in person. No thanks. Getting ready to search elsewhere. Working remotely works, I’m go…

My moral framework is be happy and do no harm, and that extends to preserving others from receiving harm. I’m the guy who will rescue ants from drowning in the pool (do no harm) an…

Love this story. The sheer level of stubbornness by some companies and and then the energy they spend fighting back, when they are clearly in the wrong, is mind-blowing. I’ve had m…

As a customer who has had to go through the chargeback process (against a well known furniture company), the company provided what they felt was “proof” of the charge being valid. …

It’s become formulaic, and Marvel seems very self-aware of this… which is why they seem to be doing their damn best to serve something different each time. It seems almost desperat…

Likely alluding that this was a major factor to her resignation.
