I let @claudeai write a song about a topic of choice. It wrote one about the deep sea and called it "Abyss walker".

This software engineer was nearly hacked by a coding interview. I've never seen this attack channel before. Be careful out there, especially vibe coders.

That's now the second one I'm seeing today. What's wrong with GitHub's abuse detection systems?

Nah... If your plan and passion isn't being a developer, there's no point and the skills are entirely different. I think the best is doing something that's closer to what you want to do and where you want to grow. But you should of course not graduate into a role that's very…

Students should not be graduating straight into Cybersecurity Please go be developers first

Use @Sync instead, similar to OneDrive and privacy / security focused.

Microsoft is testing AI facial recognition for your photos in OneDrive. The feature is enabled for those with early access. You can easily turn this off...but only 3 times a year? 🫠 Toggle this off in Privacy and Permissions.

I've recently learnt that adblockers in browsers on iOS are inherently worse at blocking ads, while consuming more data and battery resources. That's not great. Plus some things like YouTube ads might not be properly blocked. Why? Because WebKit, the engine allowed by Apple on…

The biggest misconception is thinking that filmmakers experimenting with AI have no prior film knowledge when it couldn’t be further from the truth. For example I’ve been on hundreds of sets, directed crew sizes as big as 300+ and multimillion dollar commercials. The reality…

I just learned Claude's new code interpreter mode has a /mnt/skills/public/ folder full of prompt instructions and Python utilities for creating and manipulating pdf, docx, pptx, and xlsx files - and you can ask Claude for a copy and learn a TON about working with those formats

The telephone icon isn't outdated, it is the opposite. It's ingrained in culture now, just like the floppy disk icon to save a file. Icons can have semantic meaning, like the biohazard sign, even though it doesn't resemble anything "real".

I think it's time Apple changed the Phone app icon to a real phone.

Same as ‘misinformation’, ‘disinformation’ and all those other code words for CENSORSHIP used to silence us and take away our rights. Never forget how they fought ‘conspiracy theories’ during Covid, most of which turned out to be true.

I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating. Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers. What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control. Once-free countries…

It's far worse than that. After sitting on the problem for 2 weeks they originally admitted to 70,000 users but then it turned out that it was over 2,000,000.

Government ID photos of around 70,000 Discord users worldwide have been stolen after hackers breached the security of an age verification company. If these tech companies can't keep our data safe, what hope does Whitehall have of keeping digital IDs safe? theguardian.com/media/2025/oct…
