Teaching my kids about how PCs work with an old Dell. Really fun to take it apart - well they took it apart. Really makes me realise how custom the individual components are. I would never buy one of these with my own money :)

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... and they wonder why tourism to the US is collapsing... Who wants to go when you might end up staying there for a lot longer than you wanted to. It seems perverse to detain someone who is attempting to leave your country and then deport them

Hi. Former NSA hacker here: This portal will be used by US intelligence and law enforcement for intelligence collection and to deliver 0-days to targets of interest. You can take that to the bank. I'd bet my mortal soul on it.

ICO wins battle in fight to fine tech retailer £500k • The Register share.google/20lLXIFBASWT... this is a really interesting case and has significant impact to the whole industry. Personally I agree with this ruling - if companies are allowed to make these exclusions then the ICO becomes irrelevant

If anyone in the UK has a good suggestion as to what to replace my nest to smoke alarms with I am all ears.... At the moment I might just go for non-internet connected smoke alarms and just be done with it. Currently the only bit of nest technology that still works are cameras

Valentine's Day pothole... Spotted on my run this morning

Is there anything that Google cannot break? I just got notified that my smoke alarms expire in may. I've now discovered that Google has decided to stop making the smoke alarms. The replacement product that they suggest is not available in the UK. Thank you Google for killing nest

Prosecutors have confirmed for the first time that Peter Williams, who ran L3Harris' Trenchant unit (which makes hacking tools for the U.S. govermment and its allies), sold the company's exploits to a Russian broker that were capable of accessing "millions of computers and devices" around the world.

Interesting. If accurate, could very well lead to follow-up strikes on cartel targets inside Mexico. Or could be a convenient excuse for strikes on cartel targets inside Mexico.

After the Russian authorities restrict access to popular messaging app Telegram, one Russian MP calls the measure ’Defence of the information frontline…one of the components of the battle between Russia and Nato.’ The restrictions are widely reported in today’s Russian papers. #ReadingRussia

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

Someone raised an interesting question today.... Will there be revelations from the Italian premiers "Bunga Bunga" parties that a certain ex British prime minister apparently attended without his security?

If these vehicles aren't autonomous then one presumes that any traffic offenses would be the liability of the remote worker?

Taking care of one's digital security as a freelancer is not easy. And Runa is one of the best in the business of protecting journalists. You should take advantage of this opportunity.

finance.yahoo.com/news/tech-st... why do I get the impression that the 1st company to do a 2 week ai migration is going to end up in tears ? The auditors will probably be happy though - we need to retest *everything* you know all the things you didn't .....

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... online fraud does catch up with you it seems - at least in China. Whilst I don't agree with anybody being killed these people really were some of the worst. Doesn't bode well for the other ones that were arrested a few months ago

The savings from jobs cut in Ireland could recoup at least half of the $40m budget Amazon sunk into making its new movie ‘Melania’.

The newly discovered telnet vulnerability worries me. www.theregister.com/2026/01/22/r... you might think you don't have telnet.... Not currently running does not equal safe. If it can be turned on then suddenly you have a major problem. It ships with many devices and (?) all Linux distributions.
