'The Polish government has revealed that the country experienced a major attempt to disrupt its power grid at the end of December, and came “very close to a blackout”. However, it successfully repelled the cyberattack. The digital affairs minister says that “everything points to Russian […]

YouTube reports from CES have been coming thick and fast for the last 24 hours. #caleb is like a brumby unleashed and Vincent from #hdtvtest (my fellow “nits whore”) are duelling it out with rapid fresh reports — maybe even blocking each other’s voices — on the two new kinds of #rgb #microrgb […]

Alt+Spacebar was a bit evil, hey? #windows2

Windows 2.x still thought it "knew better" than Mac when it came to keyboard shortcuts … Undo: Alt+Backspace Cut: Shift+Delete Copy: Ctrl+Insert Paste: Shift+Insert 1990 would change that. Of course, the option-key shortcuts that Mac started in 1984 … ? Still […] [Original post on ioc.exchange]

But what double-buffering achieved was: 1. instant support on many UI elements 2. an easy way to transition graphics/icons/etc that didn't have early support — just 2x them 3. an easy way to build iPhones with panels had high-dpi but not exactly the RIGHT high-dpi, so you didn't have to […]

My return flight is delayed. And it got delayed after I arrived at SFO. Which I’m fine with, because I got a really nice view down 28L/R, an ok view of 01 L/R, and liveatc in my ears. #avgeek #aviation

If you haven't been able to ship your iOS/macOS 26 update yet and have been feeling bad about it, just remember: Apple still hasn't shipped iWork with Liquid Glass, and Apple also opted all its pro apps out of Liquid Glass. Final Cut Pro on iPad still doesn't support the background video […]

Fair play to the Lyric Theatre in Sydney — they published my critical review. #BTTF #BackToTheFuture The Musical is rightfully getting mixed reviews on Reddit, but most theatre reviews are uniformly from people who are identifiably fans of ALL musicals, and only […] [Original post on ioc.exchange]

It’s only since Covid and lockdowns ended that the first “reverse hacked” #scammer call centre was published on YouTube by a security expert. It was in parallel with that time Mark Rober made a glitter bomb with streaming cameras that porch pirates stole, but led to a bigger network of gift card […]

@atpfm Just a random shout-out that the t-shirts designed / selected by @siracusa — in particular the latest batch, e.g. M3 Ultra — are the best, nicest comfortable t-shirts I've ever owned The tri-blend is incredibly good. Black Tri-Blend. Is this newer than Vintage Black Tri-Blend? I've […]

Back in 2018-19, the movie #Burning was a critical hit — for some reason. It was a #Korean psychological thriller #movie that reached breakthrough status in the west, and that implies it was better than most Korean movies, most non-Hollywood movies, or most […] [Original post on ioc.exchange]

@siracusa I thought you might like to give a shout out to http://betterdisplay.pro Not sure if you've ever mentioned it on @atpfm ? It's the most incredibly full-featured UI on a Mac app I've seen in years. (That's with or without "Show Details"). And that's […] [Original post on ioc.exchange]

What can I use to make this? Hopefully easily (as in, the lines all move in a group if I need to reposition), but honestly I don't care if not — I just want it to know about curves and gaps, positioning nicely by default. #maps #diagram #road #roads #freeway […] [Original post on ioc.exchange]

I've got a quick favour to ask. If you're reading this post on Mastodon (or the Fediverse), please click share. How come? I recently moved across to my own self-hosted single-user server (using GoToSocial.org). For a bunch of reasons, including visibility across the Fedi, it would really help out.

This guy is the John Connor of the AI music generation technology. Watch how he demos a prototype to poison-pill natural music so it can’t be used to train base models — or how an artist can turn on a speaker to silently block all microphones at a small concert. The humans can’t hear it. (I’m […]

Thanks everyone for your feedback regarding PaperVault, the app you can use to store information securely in printed sequences of QR Codes! https://papervault.eu Two updates:

Amazing speed run of figuring out “what” a piece of malware is or does, via nearly a dozen levels of obfuscation … JavaScript, PowerShell, PowerShell again via internal functions … It’s the high tech equivalent of a 7 or 8 stage treasure hunt https://youtube.com/watch?v=25NvCdFSkA4
