Whoever writes the Amazon search algorithm should probably learn that "modulator" is not a synonym of "demodulator".

We've made such great progress in Artificial Intelligence since the 1960s, that developments which were only 20 years into the future are now as close as 5 years into the future.

I'm kind of with Raspberry Pi on this one. Not that "kids should write code", but that "kids should learn how to develop". Being a developer is a hell of a lot more than programming, which is why, back in the day, the two were different jobs. Solving problems is a valuable skill that LLM can't do.

I hate/love open protocols with a fiery passion. My irritation today? My Samsung TV can see my Windows Media Server using DLNA. It can browse the videos and play them. But when I turn the TV off and back on again, it has no idea where I'd got to. Is it Microsoft or Samsung I yell at? Or both?

But how can this be? Hasn't Benioff told the world repeatedly that the only way work can happen is to have people meeting people in offices? Yet here he is, not only saying we should "have a Slack teammate" that we only ever communicate with electronically, but also that he can't hire enough people.

I'm prepared to be proven wrong, but I think it's no longer possible to perform a subdomain takeover on a CNAME pointing to an Azure Front Door. Old SKUs (<yourdomain>.azurefd.net) are disallowed, and new SKUs (<yourdomain>-<hash>.a01-3/z01-3.azurefd.net) require the hash, which requires ownership.

Every time I go get my hair cut, I tell the hairdresser to cut the grey hairs and leave the darker ones. Judging by how much more grey is on the floor at the end of a cut these days, she's getting better and better at finding and cutting just the grey.

Riding behind one of these cars this morning, I realised it's designed to look like a "wife-beater" shirt. (Excuse the expression, it's all I've heard this called in the US, I'd call it a "white vest", but I know the US thinks of vests as something high-class)

Somewhere in the dark corners of the Empire, there is a bureaucratic office, staffed with grizzled veterans who were all smart enough to realise when they had failed for the penultimate time.
