I'm not sure what actually happens, but I mostly stopped buying paperbacks on Amazon a good while ago, and if I do, and I'm unhappy with the quality I'll return it.
Kids here in the UK get educated about online safety in school, schools have sessions for parents covering this stuff too. My own kids have had age appropriate internet access all their lives, its not been difficult to control it, we have had the tools and knowledge for years.
This stuff really isn't about child safety in my opinion.
I also have a PiKVM with the switch for network level access which works really well too.
One thing I certainly couldn't do was pay attention to nothing happening for an hour just incase something happened.
The rice cooker gives me a notification and requires nothing from me.
The microwave sounds an alarm that requires me to attend to it like an emergency.
I like this idea, I wouldn't buy one but I always want more vertical space on a laptop screen.

Was it worth it to put all his customers at risk like that?
He is honestly lucky, the "hackers" could have done much worse, it would have been much more profitable for them to go after his customers via his software than to demand money from him had they been financially motivated.
> Third, the hacker has been trying to inject XSS attacks into app
> Now he's hiring a developer to shore it up.
So this is an ongoing attack? He should probably also hire some incident response and get some security consultancy.
I get "time blind" when I'm fixated on something like work, programming, reading, research, etc. While it can be a good thing, it also means I forget to eat, don't take breaks, miss meetings, or just spend way too long doing one thing and end up wondering where the day went. Typical notifications don't seem to snap me out of it either.
The app creates a thin, always visible line at the bottom of my screen that shrinks inwards as time passes, at the end of the allotted time the screen will blur preventing me from doing whatever I was doing and snapping me out of my hyperfocus state. I can choose how long the timer runs for and how long the screen blurs for. Tonight I added a loop feature so I can use it like a pomodoro timer with enforced breaks.
It's a simple menu bar app for MacOS and could be better, but it does what I want it to do. I've been using it for the past week and found it really helpful.
I haven't used Swift before so it was a good learning experience too.
It's the same principle as a Time Timer (timetimer.com) which I used previously but I find my app works better as the screen blur actually prevents me from just continuing whatever I'm doing, and the bar is always in my line of sight.
This technique was discovered, makes me wonder how many undiscovered techniques are still in use.
I put a youtube video on the TV last week and all the adverts were deep fakes of famous people saying you can get rich with this one trick and a QR code to scan. One of the videos was a deep fake of the UK PM Keir Starmer saying thousands of people can claim an unknown benefit. How are these adverts not considered harmful?
I think some kind of KVM over IP solution would probably be what I need so I can put the workstation in another room.
If I got to a point where I couldn't use it without a Microsoft account I would just drop it entirely.
I would find it difficult to believe that these wouldn't have been reported by at least most of the postmasters, but I've never seen any mention of it.
I read normal books on the kindle, PDFs on the iPad.
It does though.

Makes you wonder why they are so popular if this is the average user experience right?
I expected they had some kind of API and deal with these companies.
She is an adult now and I couldn’t be any prouder of all she has achieved in life so far.
I also had two more kids in my 30s. It’s harder when you are older, but I’m financially better off so they can have things I couldn’t afford in my 20s. I do have more work responsibilities but it’s balanced by working from home so I get to be a big part of their lives, taking them to school, here when they get home, etc.
There are benefits either way, but I think if you are committed to being a decent parent, having them younger has more benefits in the long term. You get to be around for more of lives too.
It certainly should be part of routine checkups in my opinion, but I had never had more than blood pressure check and a weigh in from my doctor.
If you ever want to give it another go, try Hypafix. I tore my skin the first time and quickly learned to soak it and use soap to remove the GCM.
I was shocked but obviously glad I found out. I use them from time to time just to see how I’m doing and how different foods (and amounts of them) impact me.
I found I can control it through diet alone and exercising when there is a spike by using a GCM for the constant feedback.
They are very expensive here though (UK) and my doctor won’t prescribe me one because metformin is cheaper, so it’s not something I can use all the time.
I hate needles, this really isn’t like a needle though, it’s a small filament which sits just under your skin, you can’t feel it, I thought it hadn’t gone in until I saw the reading appear on my phone.
Some things I found out besides what foods and amounts give me big spikes are that I have a blood glucose spike in the morning just before I wake up, and that if I eat a small enough portion of white rice, ice cream, bread, whatever I can reduce the spike quickly by going for a walk. If I had a lot though, a walk isn’t going to help.
This book is the one I always recommended for someone getting started in security.
