Hey @MAS this is a boarding pass and air ticket dated 16/12/1985

I submitted a requisition form for 3 49-inch curved ultrawide monitors.

The total cost was $4K.

Procurement rejected the request within 10 minutes.

They sent a note saying standard protocol limits IT staff to 2 24-inch flat panels.

I immediately drafted a 6-page manifesto on the dangers of peripheral tunnel vision.

I emailed it to the entire C-suite.

I explained that monitoring a dynamic cyber-threat landscape on flat screens causes severe visual fragmentation.

I said when a hacker attempts a brute-force entry, the malicious code moves horizontally across the network topography.

I told them that a 24-inch monitor physically clips the ends of the payload, making it invisible to the naked eye.

I invented a term called "lateral data leakage."

I claimed that without the parabolic curvature of an ultrawide display, our localized firewalls were essentially blind on the flanks.

I included a heavily doctored heat map that showed our headquarters completely engulfed in red warning zones.

The CFO walked into my office 10 minutes later looking terrified.

He asked if we were currently experiencing lateral data leakage.

I squinted at my tiny, inadequate flat screens and sighed.

I told him I couldn't be sure because my field of vision was artificially constrained by legacy hardware limitations.

I said I felt like a fighter pilot trying to fly through a thunderstorm while looking through a paper towel tube.

He immediately bypassed procurement and authorized the purchase on the corporate card.

The monitors arrived yesterday.

I mounted them in a seamless 180-degree arc on my desk.

It looks like the command deck of a spaceship.

I'm not using them to monitor network topography.

I'm using them to play Microsoft Flight Simulator in ultra-panoramic 4K resolution.

I currently have the autopilot engaged somewhere over the Swiss Alps.

I keep a spreadsheet open on the far-left edge just in case someone walks in.

When people ask why the screens show a highly detailed 3D rendering of a mountain range, I tell them it's a topographical representation of our cloud storage density.

They always nod in awe and slowly back out of the room.

Never let corporate policy stand in the way of your immersive gaming experience.

While Malaysia wants to accelerate the deployment of EV chargers, there’s a need to streamline approvals and processes to deploy new charging locations. According to an industry player, it takes about 14 months to deploy a charger along Malaysian highways while in other countries, it takes 3-4 months.

In fact, there are EV chargers deployed much longer than that which have not being turned on.

What you’re seeing here is a Shell Recharge 180kW DC charger installed at Temerloh R&R KL Bound along LPT. This charger has been deployed over two years ago as indicated by a photo uploaded Plugshare in June 2024.

It is now July 2026 and the EV charger is still not turned on. We are wondering if the warranty for the charger is still valid.

The problem here isn’t technology or capability. It is clear long-term policies and mandate.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize.

No President in History has ended the same war so many times.

Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.

No President has ever done this before.

And he is nowhere near finished ending it.

It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Few weeks ago, I found something mislabeled in a second hand shop. Turned out to be a box full of slides from Vietnam war (1968-1970). I managed to scan around 300. Here its a small selection of somebody's memories I bought for 5,99 🧵

[Rhoda @Symply_rhoda1]

My parents ended their relationship almost 28 years ago, and my dad has built an entirely new life since then. But every now and then, he’ll still send my mom money out of the blue. Last Mother’s Day, he sent her $300. It wasn’t for a birthday, an emergency, or because anyone asked him to. He just did it. I had noticed it over the years, but this time I finally decided to ask him about it.

Phil Williams. My boss’ boss at Apple. Surfer dude, feet on his desk. We guys asked each other over lunch “What does Phil do all day?”

Then Phil left.

“Oh.”

I’m sorry, Phil.

[Hadi Azmi @amerhadiazmi]

Malaysian city planners would see this as a problem because the trees are getting in the way of elevated highways.

Ok so here’s how it works
Dads with daughters: Women’s restroom.
Moms with daughters: Women’s restroom.
Dads with sons: Men’s restrooms.
Mothers with sons: Women’s restroom.
Hope that helps.

This is one of my favourite little historical oddities ever.

Medtronic created a nuclear powered pacemaker in the 70s.

Powered by 0.146 grams of plutonium 238, it used the seebeck affect to turn a temperature gradient, driven by plutonium 238s consistent red hot glow, into electricity.

Nuclear powered hearts were a thing

[Hugh Laurie @hughlaurie]

Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.

One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??

The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.

Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!

@prieurdp This is a very elaborate way of admitting that you can’t reverse a car.

Cuando VALVe estaba al borde de la quiebra y Gabe Newell fue a pedir ayuda para lanzar Steam, el 99% de la industria le dijo que no, que perdía el tiempo. No fueron una o dos empresas. Fueron todas. Lo cuenta el propio GabeN en el documental del 20º aniversario de Half-Life 2.

Ahora esa misma industria llora porque quieren parte del pastel que su propia incompetencia y arrogancia les impidió ver.

Excepto VALVe, nadie pensó a largo plazo. Nadie se jugó la empresa y el patrimonio personal contra una industria sin visión. Nadie apostó por tratar a sus clientes como personas.

Por eso CEOs como @TimSweeneyEpic y compañía se la pasan despidiendo gente en masa mientras buscan nuevas formas de exprimir y abusar de los jugadores, en vez de construir una comunidad de verdad.

Steam no es un monopolio. Es la recompensa por hacer las cosas bien cuando nadie más tuvo cojones.

Unfortunately, that is true.

it’s funny because this is genuinely the best approach

Simply not thinking about stressful situations makes you less stressed

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

You may have noticed that the word for ‘night’ in many languages appears to be that language’s word for ‘eight’ with an ‘N' in front of it.

English: N + eight = Night
German: N + acht = Nacht
French: N + huit = Nuit
Spanish: N + ocho = Noche
Italian: N + otto = Notte
Portuguese: N + oito = Noite

Took your administration 8 weeks to roll out WFH for private sector, and badly at that.

Some will argue that WFH is not enough, and yes, I agree.

The fact that this administration struggled with WFH alone shows you how unserious you are.

Now baru nak sembang supply shocks?

[💀 Adinda Gasolina ❤️‍🔥 @TheVenusDarling]

So you're counting on unpaid labour. And you are not advocating to provide support these communities by empowering people to be able to have the means to take care of their elderly family members (4 day work week, liveable wage, WFH)

So by the power of magic?

[CakoiPunk @Benny_TehVerto]

You cant be serious bout transitioning to alternative energy while making it unaffordable to the public

P1 and P2 had decades of protection to be competitive and still need protection?

God forbids if normal citizen like us can afford quality stuff at a cheaper rate
