📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).
It’s also concerning. 1/

PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

Sad day. We cling to our tivos for a long time just because of the amazing user experience.
R.I.P the TiVo DVR (1999-2025)
The pioneer in digital video recording has officially ceased selling its DVR.
TiVo changed my life, and cloud DVRs will never match its precision and user-friendliness. It's the best piece of consumer electronics I've ever used.

Today marks the first day in the 55-year history of PBS and 54-year history of NPR that public media has broadcast to its audiences without federal funding. But even though lots of local outlets are at risk, PBS and NPR are still here, providing fair, accurate news coverage and will not be silenced.

1. Dr. Jane Goodall 1934 - 2025
In 1962, a very young woman named Jane Goodall stepped into the African forest.
What she would discover shattered our understanding of the place of human beings in the world.
She revealed that chimpanzees use tools, form bonds, and experience emotions.

I subscribe to all 3. They’ve earned my support.
Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work
the entire media ecosystem is just not built or ready for events like this and far right billionaires like larry ellison buying news orgs will only make this worse

I have a wall mounted TV in my office connected to an Apple TV that I sometimes use as an extended monitor, but used to have muted news running on in the background.
Now it's mostly live streaming various aquariums and zoo feeds. Today I picked the Monterey Bay aquarium live Otter feed (YouTube)

I didn't get COVID at DEF CON but... pretty sure I just caught it from my daughter. She was tricky- just had the sniffles and stomach stuff, not the usual symptoms. Tested her just for the heck of it. (Out of home tests for myself, wife is picking up).
