If you've got Telerik Fiddler Classic installed, you should probably make sure that it doesn't install the January 2025 update, which is buggy.

"It’s not just that Trump won, it’s that he has returned more powerful than before. It’s that we are genuinely much worse off than we would have been if Trump were narrowly reelected in 2020."

I've thought about this a lot lately - would it have been better if Trump were just now leaving office?
Lots of great people served in the Biden administration and did good work.

But Biden and his family landed us in this mess with selfish decisions and deceptive behavior and I’m mad about it.

I want to vote for someone in 2028 who’ll say that.

The thing that REALLY worries me is the drop off in entry level hiring, using AI as a substitute for them. This will only work for 10-20 years after which the current "senior" devs will start retiring and there won't be new senior devs to replace them.

My friend calls this "the bourbon problem" 😂

DOGE in theory is potentially a good idea that *could* have good outcomes. But not if they do stupid shit like this...
Sources: people affiliated with DOGE have met with representatives of various public blockchains as they explore using a blockchain to track federal spending (Bloomberg)

Only thing that would make this trolling better is if they had the newspaper headline from The Game this past year too.
The CFB Hall of Fame has some great memories on display ahead of Monday’s #CFBPlayoff title game  😂

Why do we need Wikipedia? So that no one ever forgets that the company Rajat Khare co-founded, Appin, did extensive hacking-for-hire operations. Don't let this guy memory-hole his sleazy past.
*Someone* seems keen to delete Wikipedia's article on Appin, the cyber mercenary firm we wrote about last year.

FYI.
A reminder as it is now halftime, the PopTarts Bowl postgame sacrifice will be on ESPN3, not ABC, so get your apps ready

I really love that all we have to say is "13-10" to shut up and/or trigger Ohio State fans now. This was a gloriously successful football season.
Again, 13-10.

Man-in-the-middle attacks on Public WiFi networks haven't been a realistic threat in a decade. Almost all websites use encryption by default, and anything of value uses HSTS to prevent attackers from downgrading / disabling encryption. It's a non issue.
They are useful to prevent man in the middle attacks where someone uses a pineapple to spoof a public wifi signal.

This is the best shortcut ever. I use this hundreds of times a day.
Okay, be honest - how many browser tabs do you have open right now? 👀

If the answer is a lot (you know who you are 😛), did you know in chromium based browsers (like Edge & Chrome) pressing CTRL + SHIFT + A will bring up a searchable list of your tabs?

+ at the top it shows the ones playing media

I don’t normally get worked up about the naming threat actors thing.

But the Volt & Salt Typhoon is a disaster as it’s so hard for non-specialists to tell them apart:

- Salt is Snowden style espionage by China against US

- Volt is a direct 🇨🇳 military threat to degrade western infrastructure 1/2

I hear we're sharing these things. A lot less Spidey and Trolls music than last year now that I discovered the "exclude from my taste profile" option.
