#Security nightmare:

#Microsoft’s new #Windows11 feature, #Recall, makes the #SciFi movie #TotalRecall almost look like a fairy tale by comparison.

Everything you ever saw or wrote on your device, even if deleted, will remain in definitely remain available and searchable for users of the device, including #hackers.
Opting out requires work.

Also, in my view, I doubt that it is #GDPDR compliant in its current form.
Beware.

Excellent analysis:

Started reading The Iron Dragon's Daughter by Michael Swanwick. I read this book over 2 decades ago, and was often at a loss for many of the words in it were foreign to me. Now 25 years later, at least I have Google, and I'm definitely expanding my vocabulary, but I do understand it a lot better than I had before. So far it's as good as I remember. Heck better even because I can understand it now.

Once again it is an hour until , the weekly monster movie watch party. If you want to avoid a bunch of toots about a hokey sci fi flick, block the tag.

This week features STRANGER FROM VENUS (1954), in which a bug-eyed monster tries to get Earth to turn down the bass! No, I think it's about nuclear disarmament or somesuch.

We start at 9pm eastern, and you can find the movie on Tubi or YouTube. See you there!

🆕 blog! “Book Review: Relic - Alan Dean Foster”
★★★⯪☆

This is a decent slice of sci-fi. It's the sort of story that probably could have been written any time in the last 100 years. The sole survivor of the human race is picked up by friendly aliens and spends his life as a specimen of scientific and cultural curiosity. And then... events occur! It's […]

Paul Darrow, actor, 1941-2019. Best known for playing Avon in the 1970s British sci-fi TV series Blake's 7, a character famous for his unapologetic self-importance, and sardonic quips like;

"I’m not expendable, I’m not stupid, and I’m not going."

"It's the future, why haven't we cured hiccups," whined Vena, between hiccups.

Her robotic companion rose, shrieking, "Destroy all humans!"

Vena hiccuped again, "Sorry, that isn't going to work twice."

"Then I am out of ideas," said Robonnie, sounding defeated, curling up on a cushion.

Vena stifled yet another hiccup, and started to speak, only to jump as something slammed into the window.

"Ow," said Robonnie's remote drone.

"I'm cured!"
