Oh, that's bad: #M1 #Mac and #MacBook are locked to the orignal owner. It's highlighted by #Apple as a security measure but it makes refurbishing and reselling Macs impossible, turning them into #eWaste.

McCarthy weakens America by purging the Intelligence Committee of the institutional knowledge gained by Schiff and Swalwell. Their institutional knowledge is not easily or quickly replaced.

It is well established that institutional knowledge -- the collective understanding and ability of an organization's workforce -- is a strength to an organization. When experienced members of an organization leave, the loss of their history and knowledge can weaken the organization's ability to conduct its business. McCarthy's petty games harm America.

Undermining American institutions, however, is the Republicans' goal and among others, Putin’s.

McCarthy struggles to justify punishments for key House Democrats-

NYSE Mayhem Traced to a Staffer Who Left a Backup System Running https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-25/nyse-mayhem-traced-to-a-staffer-who-left-a-backup-system-running These are management or system shortcomings, and the sysadmin was just a scapegoat person to blame for outages and other issues. These C-suits never take responsibility and always have someone to blame. That is what I think.

Read my lips:

An audio show that can only be played in an Apple player on an Apple device is not a podcast.

An audio show that can only be played in Spotify is not a podcast.

Repeat ad nauseam for any other proprietary audio show platforms.

A #podcast is an #RSS feed with enclosures of audio files which are playable across the whole ecosystem of podcast players.

Any reporter who reports on exclusive audio shows and calls them “podcasts” are doing a grave disservice to their audience.

Sad and poignant

Sigh.

File Sharing file copy speed between #Apple #macOS 13 Macs is about as fast as 1 MB/s Ethernet in 1995.

Seriously?

Amazing what Apple can do these days. 😩

Can someone please bring back CopyDoubler?

The 'groomer' panic will not stop with LGBTQ+ 'ideology' bans:

"Staver told the viewer he would provide 'draft language' to deny those kids’ admission, and added a 'proper Biblical environment' was essential to protect children from encountering same-sex families..."

Yale's fraternities - including Delta Kappa Epsilon, to which Kavanaugh, DeSantis... and George W. Bush belonged - were investigated under Title IX over a decade ago for sexist/misogynist behaviors, like chanting "no means yes" on campus and posing in front of the women's center with a sign that read, "We Love Yale Sluts." The DKE frat was also disciplined in the late '60s for painful hazing incidents involving branding new pledges with a hot coat hanger. (GWB was frat President!)

thinking about the time in youth group when the assistant youth pastor found me sitting by myself and basically asked why i wasn't socializing with the others, told me that connection is what humans are made for, and then just left

another day after people were leaving bible study, he asked me to stay behind and gave me a weird lecture/pep talk on how he saw the capabilities of a leader who could make a difference in my school, or something?

like, thanks for repeatedly highlighting the fact that everyone here including you transparently dislike me lmao

You have to understand that Twitter only functions by having people to attack. You sticking around there to "fight the good fight" is GIVING THEM EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT. They WANT YOU THERE, FIGHTING. You're not changing a damn thing. You're playing a roll they want you to play for their amusement.

DON'T DO THAT.
