I've run out of space. Does this mean I'm officially an OG now? #MVPBuzz

Thank you @microsoftmvp.bsky.social I am again extremely humbled and honored. While this is my 12th consecutive year, I never treat it with any less importance, my heart is pounding right now. #MVPBuzz #dotnet #windowsdev

I'm not going to need an update for a while... or ever again :D #UniFi #Ubiquiti #Homelab

Way to go Microsoft Partner Center!

Interesting LLM jailbreak approach. I imagine this is going to get harder and harder to guardrail against, because it takes significantly longer context awareness. neuraltrust.ai/blog/echo-ch...

This "one small trick"... got my uplink speed to double :) The trick? Instead of Cat6 to DOCSIS modem, I used an SFP+ to Ethernet module... this gets the full 2.5 Gbps out of the Cat6 Though my ISP can only bring 1.5 GBs, I'm still getting 2x what I was before the module.

YEEEEAS! #Spaceballs2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewKu...

I'm loving my Windows Terminal shaders. I have a different one playing for each console type: PowerShell, Bash, WSL, Console, etc. What do you think? You can get the same ones, or others, from here mrange.github.io/windows-term...

To my Euro friends, I'm planning a London trip in a few months (in August for my birthday). We are trying to pick hotel, but everything looks extra touristy. What would you recommend for 4 or 5 star hotels and what area should be our base?

It's amazing that I have a huge air conditioner blowing, and a bunch of other stuff in house... But there's still a surplus of energy generation that is charging the battery. #solarpower

I hadn't heard from them aout this, so I thought we didn't achieve it... but alas, here it is!

Oooo, I was looking for my next pick.

Did Samsung not do user trials before rolling out this phone update? Maybe only with iPhone users... once they couldn't tell the difference between that and iOS, Samsung said "SHIP IT" Samsung, this sucks. It's a blatant clone of iOS and compete waste of space.

That's kind of ballsy from Hertz, to send me email for "member only deals"... but not send me an email about the data breach I'm in? If I weren't in security, I would not have known.

To my finance friends, is this something they would take seriously? It seems like an attractive idea for China with the current state of things www.reddit.com/r/WallStreet... #globaleconomy #economics #finance

Microsoft MVP Summit 2015, here I come! BOS ✈️ SEA

To my fellow homelab or networking friends, have you setup a Handshake domain? I just bought one (lan.c 😉), but now I'm a little worried about configuring it.

Going to the Microsoft MVP Summit next week? I hope to see you there www.telerik.com/blogs/progre...

I'm really liking that Visual Studio is showing the README of NuGet packages now. I'll redesign mine to better suit VS2022 users...

I must admit, using 'sudo' on Windows is pretty neat. I hate having to relaunch Terminal as admin just to do that one thing. If you don't know about this, check out learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window...

I realized something funny. I just got my first pair of glass in my life (I'll be 50 this summer 🤯)... while I was looking at the prescription I see: "oculus dexter" and "oculus sinister", which means right eye and left eye in Latin... did they predict the Dexter TV show thousands of years ago!
