At a video game show last year, I demoed my 1990s-office-themed video game After Work with floppy disk handouts instead of cards. They all said “Disk 2 of 6” on them and 100% of the Gen Xs that took one groaned and made a pained face as it triggered something deep inside.

Tech startup idea: instead of starting your car with your key, you get in, turn on the display panel, enter your password, get your phone out, open the authenticator app, enter your pin, enter the timed passcode, then open the start menu, then helpdesk, then "request engine start", then submit a tic

@hacks4pancakes.com if a tech conference was interested in having you possibly give a session/talk about a variety of dumpster fires, what's the best way way of them getting in contact? Should they just send a request to the press@ address, or is there a better one?

Oh dear, their dream submarine looks like it will never materialise.
They’d paid a whopping deposit to the construction company, who have changed hands - twice! - as have the project managers, mind you.
It’s a surprise nobody has gotten pregnant because there’s been an awful lot of fucking around

In what might be the ultimate ADHD move, my gf has found a clear laptop case that lets her slide stickers underneath it, so she never has to commit to sticking them. One of those isn't even a sticker, it's a vintage cigarette card.

big shout-out to @birmo.bsky.social for giving me a banger of a summer read in the Zero Day series. Also a big shout-out to Birmo for so accurately portraying my biggest professional nightmare in the first 200-ish pages of the first book that I have barely gotten any sleep for the last week.

Holiday encounters with family members can be stressful and sometimes dangerous. When you are approached by a family member do these three things:
1. Immediately start filming with your phone
2. Request their badge number
3. Ask them if you are being detained and if you are free to go
