@elementhunter2 @NukitToBeSure The lights have USB-C sockets on them, so you can recharge them with any USB-C charger you have. The kit does not include a charger.

“This issue has been resolved. The password has been removed from emails and will not go out going forward.”

They also say that in their database, “all passwords are stored encrypted”. Not salted and hashed, encrypted.

This is security done wrong; avoid.

@mkarolian @beaconlightco They’re also keeping passwords in plaintext:

@NukitToBeSure I wish you all the best in the New Year, and may fortune smile on your ventures.

@NukitToBeSure @RealSexyCyborg @tritha7 @nailatrahman @FitTestMyPlanet @michael_hoerger Heh, there I go looking at obscure sources and missing mainstream ones. Thanks, and much appreciation for what you’re doing!

@RealSexyCyborg @tritha7 @nailatrahman @FitTestMyPlanet @michael_hoerger Re your recommendation to only use NaDCC for safety, the MSF page on NaDCC (https://t.co/vhEXs95dZh) has an example of a 1.6g tablet dissolving in a liter to yield 1000 ppm. That’s two orders of magnitude to dilute. Do you know of NaDCC tablets that make less concentration?

It's time to mandate clean air in all public indoor spaces.

Mandating clean drinking water seemed like a crazy idea only 150 years ago. People weren't too concerned about their sewers and their drinking water mixing, can you imagine? That's us today with air.

@mjtsai Gotcha. Thanks for the exposure.

If you have an Apple Card but not Apple Cash, the ability to apply your Daily Cash to your balance was _deliberately removed_ from the Wallet app, and you have to do it on the website or contact support. Super sketchy way for Apple to increase Apple Cash float revenue.

[Avi Drissman @[email protected] @avidrissman]

For those with an Apple Card but not Apple Cash, did the “apply Daily Cash to balance” button just disappear in the last two weeks in the Wallet app?

The rabbis were ambivalent about the Hasmoneans/Maccabees, but they weren't ambivalent about Hanukkah, and it didn't all-of-a-sudden become important due to American Christmas. Rather than denigrating our heritage and holidays, let's celebrate them all to the fullest! 8/8

IMPORTANT: @elonmusk's new policy preventing linking to competitors is in DIRECT VIOLATION of European Union rules.

Penalty can be a fine of up to 20% of Twitter's annual revenue

[akivamcohen.bsky.social @AkivaMCohen]

So here's the thing. You can only violate people's legal rights and your own word so far before they lawyer up and come after you.

I really do hope Musk changes his mind and does the right thing - the employees deserve that. But it'll be fun as hell if he doesn't.

So far today the new owner of Twitter has:

- Posted pictures of multiple guns on his nightstand

- Accused Apple of being anti-American

- Posted a doctored CNN article

- Posted a white supremacist logo

This guy is self destructing by the minute

COPS SHOWED UP AT THE SCENE AND HANDCUFFED THE GOOD GUY WHILE HE SCREAMED AND BEGGED TO KNOW IF HIS FAMILY WAS ALIVE.

ACAB.

@mikeroySoft @VMware OK, clarifying, there are two problems. One is that the link on https://t.co/BThbHgrEo8 forwards to the v12 page. The other is that trying to register for v13 yields a blank page, JS console errors and 500s from the server.

[Avi Drissman @[email protected] @avidrissman]

@VMware macOS 10.16? What?

[Avi Drissman @[email protected] @avidrissman]

@mikeroySoft @VMware 90% of the time when I click “register” on that page I get tons of errors in the JS console, and when the page does load correctly I’m still getting the v12 license. The link I first provided is on https://t.co/BThbHgrEo8 so that should be made to work.

[Avi Drissman @[email protected] @avidrissman]

@mikeroySoft @VMware BTW, the free personal license page at https://t.co/Qho6VutBIA is still vending v12 licenses and offering 12.2.4 downloads. Will v13 have the same personal license?
