Remember to pop your filter bubble every so often. If you think you're not in one, you're trapped in one and in for a rude awakening.

This Is My Glasgow

Every now and then on my wanders around Glasgow, I come across one of these upside down T-shaped keyholes on the door of a Victorian building. It's for an Odell Night Latch Key, of the type shown on the right.

1960s: the computer when programmed correctly can perform trillions of operations without a single mistake:

Pentium fdiv bug era: in some rare cases excel may let a bug in the CPU slip past.

LLM era: we rolled 6x10E9 dice and days have 37 hours, finger count is random, your files were deleted lol.

Today Excel bugged me again to rate it, and when I tried it told me I was ineligible to submit a review.

Once again I am asking for all technology to be cast into the sea immediately or sooner.

I just realized it's been over a decade since I last answered a tech support phone call about dial-up Internet problems.

Every time it rained, whole communities would be either unable to get above 14.4 Kbps or dial in at all until the telco lines and boxes dried. Many of those support calls came over phone lines that hummed and crackled as loud as the callers' voices. More than once the interference was so bad I had to fall back to radio procedure in order to give support.

A great article on Microsoft's shady GDID, a device fingerprint snuck into Windows 11 that can and has already been used to track with precision, activity reports sent back to the mothership indefinitely.

Extinguish.

uBO on Vivaldi will soon be no longer.

The longer folks rely on chromium browsers, the longer big tech gets away with it.

Another tech company trying to convince you that you don't have a choice.
