I’m good with US keeping their soldiers to themselves. Along with their goods. Many of us Canadians are ready to finalize a divorce to the US. This isn’t a Trump issue either. Someone got him into office.

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 oriented myself to doing is being a servant leader. As I told

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 unceremoniously cancelled. I’ve developed the “anything but Google” m

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. Completely disposable.

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 cancellation. Unfortunately this is not a rare occurrence based on the

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 ask of me. They thought about the task some more and droppe

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 to work in the long run. Students can easily use tech to rewr

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 getting students to find them.

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 fodder about staffs’ kids hockey games, etc. which could ha

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, etc. Often they’re thankless jobs, but it’s a great foot in t

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 going by my own outcomes not some scientific study. I’m not 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) and make life decisions that equate to increased happiness. I

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 my own battles, and it’s this kind of story that reminds me s

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. Fortunately, I had counter-proof that the proof they supplie

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 desperate? But the underlying tones remain the same. I’m getting bor

Do drivers take greater risks from wearing a seatbelt? Where’s the data to substantiate their claims?

Awful advice. Do plumbers/electricians/barbers offer a “free trial” to see if you like their work? I’m not a freelancer, but I’d hang my head in shame if I ever paid zero for someone’s work, even if I hated it. I value their time.

Sheer stupidity and stubbornness. Hoping this lands right back in court and he walks away with $12MM… and that the city counsel is dismissed.

Agreed. I’m back in the market and for a MacBook myself. They simply work far better.
