Wait - so not only are #Netflix putting ads into their streams, but that means they can no longer be viewed on Chromecast? Between that and #Prime ads, streaming is dead.

This is the Y2k problem, and why ISO 8601 matters : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9wz7pvvjypo Whatever happened to the Y2k guarantee that software would correctly process dates in 2000 and all dates beyond? #Y2k #Y2kIsNotOver

It's filing day, America!

Head to http://DirectFile.IRS.gov right now to see if you’re eligible to file your taxes for free.

@potus Everyone should be. Nobody should have to pay extra to contribute their agreed dues to society.

How the the next general election in the United Kingdom is now less than a year away

A general election has to take place by 28 January 2025 by automatic operation of constitutional law

By me:

@davidallengreen "On the face of it that would mean a date in early-to-mid January 2024" are you sure?

An example ScrabbleGram ... it uses all the letter of a standard scrabble set exactly once, including blanks (shown here with the letters the represent.

And it's a limerick.

marshalla99,

@ColinTheMathmo ??? I can see duplicated letters. Do you mean that it uses all the tiles?

Security firm Mandiant says it didn’t have 2FA enabled on its hacked Twitter account.

I have questions...

@gcluley Does 2FA work on an account shared across multiple users?

marshalla99,

@gcluley But would TwiX work with that? Especially now.

Press the "allow" button to verify you're human!

Showing a dancing space alien having a black face with pink highlights (ears, eyes, noise, antenna, heart).

Right. But there is no "allow" button visible on-screen... and also nothing in source view.

Call this a busted page, because I'm not clicking the link directly and instead pushing to "private" page.

marshalla99,

@JohnJBurnsIII just as well, because that allow button is something requesting access to your data and/or system.

I had a portable app for windows a long time ago that showed you things connected to your system via USB, and told you if the devices were connected via USB 1, 2 or 3. Anyone know what it might have been?
Update: Two links to two different pieces of software have been provided and are listed in-thread, if anyone's interested. thanks to all who boosted and/or responded.

Almost everyone who says "Mastodon didn't work for me" on Bluesky seems to have posted only "me me me" stuff for months (if that) on Mastodon, followed about 10-20 people, never replied to anyone and then gave up because "nobody there, it didn't fly".

It seems there is a big misunderstanding how this free and healthy social media works. We are not here for the easy wins, likes, shares and dopamine spikes. We are here because we accept the fact we are not part of the commercial hype machine. We choose natural engagement over spoiling algorithms, we choose conversation and meaning in our social media. At least that is how I see it.

Great! TransUnion, whom I have the pleasure of receiving free credit monitoring from due to the MGM Casino breach in Sept, has a policy of only allowing 15 characters or less. Not like anything important is on the line or anything. Oh, they get bonus points for letting me skip the password with a trivial security question! #InfoSec #NotAFeature @boblord @thorsheim

Security question dialog on account creation. Includes questions like "What was your high school mascot?" and "What city were you born in?"

marshalla99,

@chetwisniewski @boblord @thorsheim You don't have to give true answers to those questions, y'know. Treat them as password prompts...

FreakyFwoof, to mastodon

Hmm, I wonder if #Mastodon has an equivalent of the Thread Unroll bot that lived on x?
(Still a pissing stupid name but anyway...)

    I'm being mansplained to on Facebook and it's the funniest thing ever. a guy is telling me how watches can't work without electricity, it's not possible even if they're wind up, that power needs to be stored in a battery. I'm trying to explain to him about springs, but he doesn't understand I'm dying 😂.

    The EU chat control legislation has been temporarily postponed. That’s good news. The bad news is there’s another vote in December. https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/chat-control-vote-postponed-huge-success-in-defense-of-digital-privacy-of-correspondence/

    I've been asked by a digital publication to do a regular column on forgotten or overlooked bits of tech and business history that changed stuff forever.

    So what's your favourite weird nugget of obscure history or people in tech or business?

    This is LITERALLY your chance to make me write about it 😄

    @garius The reason why terminals were 80 column by 25 line.

    Hi folks. Anyone got a security contact at booking.com?

    marshalla99,

    @gcluley I bet it all starts with phishing the hotels and gaining access to their booking.com accounts.
