"I deleted keys generated by our TV for 5 straight minutes. 5 Minutes of like 200BPM clicking. I restarted. Everything worked again. I laughed so hard I cried. I felt like I'd solved a murder."

Tech people, THIS IS A GREAT FANTASIC READ!!!

The title is, "DO NOT BUY HISENSE TV'S"

and you may find yourself connected to a wifi network
and you may find yourself geolocated in another part of the world
and you may not recognize the wifi network name
and you may ask yourself, well, who gave me the wifi password

@nclm @autumn @foone I don't know why my first thought on this was "uh oh, Foonery happening" but it still looks like the kind of thing they'd have a good go at :)

All of YouTube is destined to become lost media when Google loses interest or viewers move onto something else. All these channels that you love now will only exist on the creators hard drives and you'll never be able to see them again

Saw someone refer to the Cybertruck as an incEl Camino and, yup, that's what it's called now.

POV: You made the mistake of trying to track a package in 2024

We have laws that say companies have to disclose a breach when it involves the theft or disclosure of certain information. But AFAICT none of those laws say companies have to disclose the issue on their homepage somewhere. Even with breaches that are going to require all of the victim's customers to do IT gymnastics for several days to mitigate the threat.

Day 5 of Sisense's epic ownage and still crickets about the issue on their homepage.

It's ridiculous that I've got a 3D game on my site that happily runs at 120fps on normal mid-spec PCs/phones but there are news sites chugging away harder to show some text. Browsers have come so far but every improvement gets pissed away on ads & bad coding

You know the "repeat the previous text" trick to get initial chatbot prompts?

This variant sure makes it look like Bing Copilot GPT4 is leaking state between user sessions. I have never used copilot before.

@eclectech training their own bot to recognise images, and attempting to make sure they don't get it fed with already-poisoned-data?

OK, so someone just put Brass Against - Killing in the Name into my timeline and while it was playing my Friday dancers started doing this.

That's some dark magic going on there.

Covid, private boosters, UK 

Have just discovered that it's now possible to buy a Covid booster in the UK.

Ignoring, for the moment, the issues in not providing them for more people via the NHS, I thought there might be others out there keen to take advantage who had also missed the news, so there's a summary of current situation here:

Thanks to @ProfLouiseL for the initial heads up & @richardloxley for the summary.
