Interesting argument for leaving your HDDs spinning
Found a concerning comment on HN from a Bluetooth firmware dev. Didn't expect things to be that bad.
It's also concerningly easy to find PoCs of Bluetooth exploits and use them on devices that no longer receive updates. I know because I tried one on my old Android, successfully.

My Tesla S400W air purifier is back in action, replacement filters are in stock again after months of waiting.
Now it's time to replace the leaky windows on my house, otherwise it'll freak out every time smoke drifts in from outside.

Was watching a Chubbyemu short about lead in protein powders and saw a comment pointing out a "2+ programming error" in human bodies.
Imagine being so advanced that we could patch this one.

EU Age Verification law kicking in on X, first temporarily restricted post showed up in my feed due to a background age check. I doubt I'll ever know which one it was.

Gotta love Windows Patch Tuesdays. Today I learned about the RegistrySizeLimit key which in my case caused 0x800705aa error when I tried to update.

So apparently there's been a scam running on GitHub where tons of users were tagged and they can't clear their notifications for weeks.
Wondering how the notification state is managed in GH if the counter still shows 2 unread when there are none.

Noticed that the CKEditor 5 Bookmarks plugin was marked as a premium plugin just weeks ago. It's been around for almost a year now.

Process Lasso doing its job well, still experimenting with it. Really a powerful tool for Windows users. It's better not to need it though.

Two years and two fixes later, the placeholder bug in recursive lists using ngx-drag-drop library still doesn't seem to be fixed. One can always patch-package locally, there's also a PR open since last year. I should take a closer look at this.
