I feel like Apple doesn’t get enough credit for this.
If M series chips never happened on Macbooks, we would have probably never had Windows arm laptops either allowing for AAA gaming in a thin laptop body
a staff engineer at my old company got laid off during “cost cutting.”
his entire farewell meeting was 12 minutes long.
week later:
payment service started randomly failing.
turns out he was manually fixing edge-case data corruption every night for 3 years.
nobody even knew.
the most dangerous systems are the ones surviving because of one invisible engineer.

🚨 BREAKING: Active supply chain attack across npm, PyPI, and Crates.io.
Socket detected TrapDoor, a crypto stealer campaign hitting 34 malicious packages and 384 versions and artifacts, with attackers repeatedly pushing new releases across ecosystems.
TrapDoor targets #crypto, #DeFi, AI, and security developers, stealing wallets, SSH keys, cloud credentials, GitHub tokens, browser data, env vars, and API keys.
Socket detected releases with a median detection time of 5 minutes, 27 seconds. The fastest detection occurred 58 seconds after publication.
A Japanese manga artist lost his entire Google account forever after he uploaded private files from an old comic he drew to Google Drive.
Google’s AI checked the files and flagged them as not allowed. He asked Google to review it again, but they rejected his appeal and banned the account immediately.
He can no longer access years of his private drawings and lost access to many websites and services that used his Google login.
The artist said this is very embarrassing and causes him a lot of trouble. He warned that it might not happen to people who always follow every rule, but others should be careful.
So Google is scanning files that people upload to its cloud storage even if they are supposed to be private. I wonder how long they have been doing this.
