Your boss undermining your security culture is something we talk about all the time on @cisoseries.bsky.social but it’s another thing when it’s from the head of CISA…

So, based on the headline, I thought this just had bad viewing angles like any privacy screen protector. But the fact that you can specify apps to limit viewing angles, down to when you enter a password, is pretty cool www.sammobile.com/news/samsung...

It’s kind of crazy that Apple has 4 generations of chips in use across its product portfolio, and that as you move up the product ladder, the older chips you get.

Each additional hold costs an extra $1000. www.theverge.com/news/8681…

I forgot when I made this, but I will never make a better mashup of two of my favorite things #filmphotography

As far as headlines that get worse the more you read them go, this is pretty nice work www.wsj.com/world/china/...

There’s always the one friend with no chill

Part of me died when no one on the #AEWCollision crew knew that Polaroids were still around

I really have to warn you not to watch the new Superman with someone from Cleveland unless you want to hear about every location I… I mean they… recognize.

It’s amazing how quickly I’ve internalized that any search result from 2024 or later is probably slop. I need a search filter for pre-GenAI sites

“Retro inspired” would need to look like a Boss Dr. Sample. This is retrofuturism through the lens of an LLM told to make a Teenage Engineering product

Never too cold for bird breakfast

Who you got?

“Hear me out, what if entrances took 15 minutes each”

Great piece on what codeless looks like from Anil Dash. Interestingly, VoidLink malware seems to have been using this same methodology. Used an LLM to write out a dev roadmap, with a team of bots iterating on the code. Got a whole malware framework out in a week.

Saw Price at AIW twice this year. Dude can go, great debut match with FTR #AEWDynamite

I’m sure there’s a lot behind this report about CEOs not seeing returns on AI investment. But one thing I hear over and over again on the CISO Series, no one actually has their data ready to fully implement these tools. No one knows what they have, who has access, or who is supposed to have access.

Good morning

Meta lost an average of $488 per second on Reality Labs since 2020. Instead of the Metaverse, they could have just given away 157 million VR headsets.

It’s Penguin Awareness Day which seems like a great excuse to post the greatest ever Wikipedia edit.

I got off the waitlist to try out Rodeo and I realized I literally don’t remember what this app is supposed to do and it is not immediately obvious from the main UI of the app. Like local events of something? This is a sign that the waitlist was too long.

Tried a browser built by autonomous AI agents. On the one hand, the browser built on my Mac and ran. On the other hand, I only managed to get one page to render anything. It’s obviously still in development, and building a browser from scratch is no slight feat.

Birds don’t take the day off for cold (-11F out, kids off school) https://mranthropology.micro.blog/2026/01/20/birds-dont-take-the-day.html

Finally getting around to reading The 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte and Marx just drops “antediluvian colossi” in the first page.

Finally getting macOS reinstalled on this 2017 Goodwill iMac. Was running into errors in the recovery mode because Apple evidently didn’t renew HTTPS certificates for the server with OS images and I had to go into terminal to get it to go over HTTP. Very weird

My favorite “state of technology” moment is when my Apple TV shows a notification to watch the last 5 minutes of the Bears-Rams game while I’m watching the Bears-Rams game

Job Simulator 2 Canceled After Being Outsourced To AI hard-drive.net/job-simulato...

I bought a $70 goodwill iMac with Linux Mint installed which came with the charming username, Goodwill-iMac. Unfortunately they didn’t give me the root password so to recovery mode I go!

Good bird morning

Concha time

I don't have a problem with a ton of Casio watches being in Stranger Things 5, but I think there are ONLY Casio watches in Stranger Things 5. Someone should have had a Swatch dammit!

The "hanging on as an enterprise solution" (ie Google Glassification) is usually the soft offramp for these kind of failed efforts. Horizons was less practical than Google Glass www.theverge.com/tech/863209/...

I don’t know why but every “I switched to Linux post” has to feature a terminal with neofetch output. I don’t mind it, it always looks neat. It’s just weird.

I switched to Linux and all I got was a functional desktop OS

Also Apple, can this mean you can relaunch Apeture? PLEASE?? 9to5mac.com/2026/01/1…

10-years ago, I bought Final Cut Pro. It remains the best bargain in software. It’s been tied to my Apple account, updated with the latest features, and works great. Only a matter of time before subscriptions ate it on desktop. I fear we are here now with the Creator Studio bundle.

The killer feature for a voice assistant for me is if I'm listening to a song and I ask it to play the rest of the album and it can actually do that. Whatever voice assistant does that first is my voice assistant. Old man shouts at clouds, etc, etc.

The Catholic church requires an individual to perform two miracles to achieve sainthood. Pope only needs one more
