meh. Old 2.4ghz devices and new wifi access points that can't be seen. Sad!

Google Calendar ought to have a UI to go straight to a video meeting instead of having to see the detail of the meeting and then click something.

That thing where a Mac OS upgrade overwrites your carefully written sshd config . . .

OH: There are words in it, and they mean something.

It seems to take a long time for speakers to realize that the mic really needs to be close to one's mouth. And some people never figure it out.

Books I read in 2022 and 2023 buff.ly/3tzguqP

Best article on OTC hearing aids I've read. undark.org/2023/12/27/otc-he…

In Chrome, that thing where you accidentally press Command Q when you meant Command W.

I just had the best customer service call ever -- with @usbank. No wait to get picked up, and the agent understood right away what I couldn't figure out, which was complicated, involving two accounts, earlier mistaken communications, etc.

OK, who's the wise guy who voted for Boehner for House Speaker? nytimes.com/interactive/2023…

Matthew Modine did a great job in Oppenheimer, but the movie did not communicate very well (to me at least) that he was playing Vannevar Bush [!!!]

The more I learn, the more incredible it is to me that anyone learns a 2nd language after the age of, oh, 40.

I'm laughing. I guess that's wrong. nytimes.com/2023/07/25/us/po…

It would be useful for events in Google Calendar to have a little screen icon in the upper right so that one could initiate the video meeting without having to open the event. (Or maybe a shift- or command-click, I'm not picky.)

I have always agreed with the HIPAA notion that many implementations must compensate gaps found in the (required) risk analysis. However, I think it is time to add an auth standard that is required, not merely "addressable." There must be a baseline. hhs.gov/hipaa/for-profession…

At least Twitter’s not rocket science.

Quite an experience leaving the laptop home and only using an iPad. For instance: No “select all” on the iPad GMail? Lame. Really lame. The solution is to use the web app, which is awkward.

This is special pleading. The same argument could be made about most organizations. nytimes.com/2023/04/29/opini…
