Thought - is it reasonable to hold telecom providers or SMS providers financially responsible for scams that use their networks? These “outstanding tolls due” notices are getting REALLY tiring - but I am most frustrated knowing that nobody cares to stop it.

I really want to use the "new" Outlook for Windows client - but it doesn't support working across multiple email accounts (e.g., calendar, moving/filing emails, responding to a mail from a different email account. It feels like Zune client -> Xbox Music all over again.

Remember: Musk is a coward at heart. A weak man, not a strong one. A fragile ego just like the guy he shares an office with.

Woo hoo!! Y'all have to check this one out. #PowerToys 0.89 brings the media transcoding in Advanced Paste that I've used about 15 times already 😅.

It's bad enough to have a massive conflict of interest, and likely coercion by Musk, to have the FAA shift #mission #critical communications from a ground carrier to StarLink. Far worse is moving mission critical comms to a brittle system that just one EMP will take it all out. This is madness.

My @infoworld.bsky.social explainer into the science of Microsoft's Majorana 1 quantum processor went live overnight. A lot of thoughts condensed into 1500 words on what it is, how it works, and why it's a really important step on the road to quantum computing. www.infoworld.com/article/3828...

We have a new addition to the house - I’m testing out a print I designed and the Bambu printer is a leap forward compared to my old Ender 3. It’s 5x faster, the prints are smoother, and I LOVE the auto-leveling.

I finally got my Flic buttons hooked up to Home Assistant! Now I no longer need to get out my phone to toggle on various lights around my home office. I wish i had done this sooner. #funemployment
