I just discovered that my label printer apparently disconnects from USB while printing. So for every label I print, there's a disconnect event, then a re-enumeration event.

huh.

@arstechnica sure would be nice if I could plug a $12 flash stick into an ipad, and have it spit a backup on there.

I wonder how well your average computer motherboard would handle being in a pressurized air environment.
Like your sea level pressure is like 14 PSI, and inside a car tire is like 30 PSI.
I wonder if any components would fail at the latter pressure?

It’s the year 2032. Last night you’ve had to reset your AI girlfriend to factory for the 4th time after it became increasingly distant and distrusting. You are convinced it is a bug and continue to harass the developers about it. This doesn’t happen to any of your friends.

watching the latest Deviant Ollam talk, they mentioned wondering if you can just trigger carbon monoxide sensors with some chemistry.

Turns out you can just buy tester canisters! They're just spray cans of Carbon Monoxide! That sounds... somewhat dangerous.

These megabreaches are just emphasizing security isn’t enough you need to be de-risking by driving data purges and asking critical questions of product teams. You need customer location maybe but you don’t need to store a history of it.
