Perhaps worth pointing out that the attacks require the attacker to position a piece of hardware between the Qi charger and the power source.

This has been common in Sweden for decades, I had it in my previous house almost 20 years ago. If I remember correctly it was a 100m borehole. The only limitation is that certain soil/rock environments work better than others, so it’s not suitable for all locations.

Heated our house in northen Sweden just fine in -20/30C winters.

It’s a little unfair to criticise a CS course for not being a SWE course. But I agree that graduating students in CS without having covered the basic requirements in the SWE day job most of them will move into is a disservice.

I did CS (30 years ago) and things entirely missing in the syllabus back then:

• any and all soft skills
• version control
• refactoring
• testing and the value of testing
• staging and replicated environments for raw dev, QA, live, etc

My experience with my yubikey is that it just works. I know that’s not terribly useful info, but it’s really all I have after several years of occasionally using it. Oh, it’s been on my keychain all that time so isn’t terribly flimsy.

The only thing worse than people using WD-40 instead of a better product, are the mental gymnastics performed by people pretending a product which is 35% oil and sold as a lubricant, actually isn’t.

I had horse steak from the UK, it was superbly tender and a lovely mellow taste. I was quite surprised.

Use a toothpaste or mouthwash containing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorhexidine

Maybe not quite so much these days. I use Outlook at work, but that’s been the limit of my MS contact in tech for a few years now (apart from the odd Teams meeting I’ve been invited to). It used to be worse in terms of lock in, IMO.

I have a brand new Apple product with both a headphone jack and an SD card reader.

To be fair it only has HDMI and not a VGA connector, and there’s no floppy disk drive or serial port.

Everyone loves to hate.

I agree from the opposite direction:

20 years ago I switched to zero drop minimalist footwear for running, hiking, and almost all everyday activities (everything except weddings and funerals). I only wear footwear that has no relation at all to my foot’s arch, my weight, or my gait.

Best decision for my knees, ankles, and hips I think I ever made.

Absolutely. Fucking. Everything. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Crichton#Gell-Mann_amnesia_effect

somewhat tongue in cheek answer:

people who think that our brains were designed.

My opinion is based on an older gentleman commiserating on how difficult it was for young impoverished students to pay for everything nowadays. I was in debt, and had at just that moment come out at the LGB soc. That person was my bank manager.

Subs that pay doms don’t bother me at all.

Would you say that this was racist, or shouldn’t have been performed?

That’s a really interesting answer - it all makes sense that those things can be irritating, and also why I had no idea about them:

For years I have had my applications and windows (IDE, tabbed console, browser(s)) set up in fixed positions. I rarely switch between them in a way which isn’t a keyboard shortcut (99% command-tab) or involves the mouse anyway (for testing, or video calls). I never normally move windows between screens or anything like that in my workflow.

In the good and very old days I literally just had emacs maximised and that was it, all day long 😇

I guess I got lucky in a sense - that not needing functionality meant I wasn’t affected by it being missing, but it might partly be a positive side effect of desiring simplicity and less from the WM so I can focus on my own things.

It sucks completely if you try to use it in different way so if you don’t like magic mouse (which sucks) and don’t like using their laptop keyboard (which sucks) and touchpad you will not enjoy it.

This isn’t true for me. I use the same (cheap Logitech) mouse with Win11, Linux, and my MBPs. What’s meant to be the issue? It’s just like every other setup I’ve used in the last 30 years.

I just got an M2 MBP. In my personal experience it is very much not “shit”.

Expensive and a PITA to fix? Quite possibly.
