New casual gaming platform, using on-device AI. Hope to have something to share and get feedback in a few weeks.

• Putting out the app I’ve been working on for the last year.
• More hugging the family (and general appreciation).
• Catching up with friends more often.
• Ignoring the news.
• Not having my back go out and ending up in ER, like last year.

Ran a hairdryer all night, propped against my Mac laptop keyboard after a friend knocked over a full pint of beer onto it.

The next morning the whole bathroom reeked of stale beer, the power bill was astronomical, and the left quarter of the keyboard never worked again.

Took it in for repairs and was grateful AppleCare swapped it out without a peep. This was a while back, before the embedded moisture strips that void the warranty.

The first one was tall and skinny and toppled over after a landing leg malfunctioned. So they sent a second tall skinny probe, loaded with expensive equipment. Aaaand it fell over.

Maybe somebody should tell them about center of gravity and redundant systems.

Can’t someone come up with a browser that just randomly lies when asked about the characteristics that could be used for fingerprinting?

Except for trusted, whitelisted sites.

That seems like it would be a pretty good privacy enhancer.

Having been in a few of those server rooms in olden times, the ones with elevated flooring and false ceilings, they were:

a) loud, and

b) really, really COLD.

How long before the students gamify it to see who can generate the most alerts?
