My company switched from WebEx to Teams and while Teams is not great it's way better than WebEx.

Within my actual team we just use Slack Huddles unless we have to record. For my personal stuff I prefer Jitsi.

In the Netherlands a number of cities were banning fossil fuel for deliveries in the city. It was in planning for years, easing into implementation.

Our new government just scrapped all of those plans because the largest party doesn't believe in climate change, and another party in the coalition is the "farmer's movement" party and opposes environmental regulations.

I work at a company big into AI. We build our own models. Our senior management drank the Kool-Aid. We don't have search on our Intranet any more, just LLM chatbots.

Our TLS certificate expired last week on our main web page. I tried to find the contact details for the team responsible and the thing just hallucinated e-mail addresses.

Needless to say, I'm less excited than you.

I used this movie as the basis for at least three school assignments in high school. Brilliant.

There are infinite prime numbers. This has been known for thousands of years. You can find numerous proofs of this online, and go through them until one makes sense to you.

Also, quantum computers are on track to make division-based cryptography useless in the next decade or two. (Note that this only affects public key cryptography, and not shared key cryptography. So your online backups should be safe as long as you have a password for them.)

If a company has a lot of money in assets and those assets are worth less than before, the valuation of the company drops. This should mean lower share prices, which is basically the only thing a company cares about.

Again? I guess I missed Microsoft being impacted in any way. 🤔

If you watch The Brainwashing of My Dad, this is basically what worked. The documentary maker's parents moved to a new house and they deliberately didn't connect Fox News, and then blocked a few web sites. A short while later their dad was back to being a jovial, friendly person again.

Is it? I mean, 100 years ago you might all be reading different things, with either a record on or possibly the radio. Why is it terrible that now you're all... reading different things together in one room?

.TV is not new. It is a country-code TLD (ccTLD) and has been around since the 20th century.
