@theapplehub Did I? Do I? One of the greatest designs. I miss the tech from 15 years ago. Can you imagine where it will be in 15 years from now?

@Kevin_Logan I know, some folks are having a hell of a time. Seems that Cursor uses a lot. Going to do some coding this week, so I will have an update next week.

@HandsomeHank_ Hank, what could the "other" be? Curious to see how it goes.

How @Apple how could the previous version of Siri, when I say "Siri, make the lights in Chucks room blue" it would make them blue. Now when I say it, it asks what room and then will turn the lights on, or off. I use @tweethue and have for nearly 17 years. How can I change the color of my lights with Siri now? #siri #apple #phillipshue

I seriously need time to slow down. I feel like the last 15 years has been a blur. Especially from 2018 to now. Enjoy every day because it gets faster as you get older.

A Grok reset is sounding really good right about now!

[30A Nerds @30anerds]

@CreeCoder Hell, I followed just out of the principle of this post. Fantastic!

[30A Nerds @30anerds]

@JustinPiet99444 @JR_TeslaX Yeah, this may be my perfect vehicle. With those folded down, I will have a lot of room. Thank you for the reply!

IT heads up: CISA says a critical BeyondTrust Remote Support flaw (CVE-2026-102764) is being actively exploited. Cloud customers are already patched. Self-hosted? Apply the BT26-05-RS patch now. Does your IT provider use a remote support tool? #CyberSecurity #PatchNow

Small business owners: cyber insurer Coalition says email takeover claims rose about 30%, mostly at micro businesses, as AI phishing kits get past MFA. Fix: call a known number before changing payment info. Who checks yours? #SmallBusiness #CyberSecurity

AI can clone a loved one's voice. Missouri police warn of fake accident or kidnapping calls that keep you on the line and push for money. Their tip: pick a family safe word, then hang up and call back. Does your family have one? #ScamAlert #AI

@randomlybrian @Tesla Okay that is fantastic to know! Thanks Brian!

[30A Nerds @30anerds]

Wait. There is Tesla insurance? Do I have yet ONE MORE REASON to get into a @tesla ?

[Matt @ninjamattic]

Why have I bought into the Muskonomy? This is why. At 9pm on a Friday night I got in my wife’s car to pick up her Target order. I made it one house down before the car started throwing flat tire warnings. I pulled over and sure enough. It was flat. I very slowly drove it right back into our driveway, hopped out, and filed a claim through the Tesla app with my Tesla insurance. Within minutes a tow truck was dispatched to pick the car up and take it to the nearest Tesla service center. Since they’re open Saturday’s, the car will be ready for pickup tomorrow with a repaired or new tire. On any other car this would be a nightmare. Trying to find a tire shop over Saturday and Sunday, make sure my tire is in stock, pay a towing company to come get it… it would consume the weekend. Not with my @tesla though. A few taps of the screen and all I have to do it pick it up at the end. Wow.

Florida heads up: Pasco Sheriff's Office says scammers are calling and texting as your bank's fraud team, telling you to move money by wire, crypto, bar codes or Western Union. Hang up and call your bank. Would your folks spot it? #ScamAlert #Florida #30A

[30A Nerds @30anerds]

@ProLogicaAI Exactly.

[30A Nerds @30anerds]

Florida heads up: scammers are spoofing Sarasota County Sheriff's numbers, posing as victim advocates. One resident sent $1,350 by Zelle for a fake deposit. Deputies never ask for payment by app, gift card or crypto. Would your family know to hang up? #ScamAlert #Florida #30A

@justcarlod @jiya_3063 I am not going to say I don't use any Microsoft products. The OP was about using Windows. I don't use Windows other than for my gaming PC.

[30A Nerds @30anerds]

@justcarlod @jiya_3063 My mix with customers is roughly 50/50 at this point. I can get exact numbers for you. My company doesn’t operate in the Microsoft ecosystem other than to repair it for our customers. Of course we can use it as we are Microsoft Certified. We just operate on Macs.

@danellisona I am game for all the help that I can get LOL.

I lost my Dad in March. He was 87. USAF Vet. Career Deputy Sheriff and an all around bad ass as well. He was 87 when he passed. This was him at 81, and my favorite photo of him I have. I got to be with him the day before he passed. It went downhill quickly. I am thankful that I had that one last conversation with him. I am thankful for the man I am because when he was right he taught me how to be right and when he was wrong, he taught me how to be right. Saying prayers for you. The A4 Skyhawk was a bad ass in its own right. The roll rate was insane on that thing. Just found you tonight, but looking forward to more of you content.

[30A Nerds @30anerds]

@brockpierson I do :) Hence this response. I think your observation is valid of some people. At the end of the day though it is up to me to post content that people want to interact with. That is the goal.
