I managed to rupture my eye. My after surgery look included an eye shield lots of medical tape and blood stains down my face cheek and neck. And FaceID still identified me. Should I take it the technology is really clever or is this saying something about my normal look?

@DerekRiemer We need the porn industry to adopt this type of device to get to the necessary resolution. Only half joking.

@devops_rob Definitely support the suggestion to reseat everything. Also maybe run tests with half the memory removed in case of an ill stick. Then prepare chickens for sacrifice.

I feel the universe is a better place now that I know this exists.

@mehgcap Officially its euro regardless of amount. I’m in the UK so its not my native currency but I spend a lot of time in NL and usually its euro but some people will pluralise it when speaking.

Going to start the Elon Musk and Liz Truss school of management where you learn how to take and burn the money and prized possessions of those around you and then look surprised that they aren’t applauding.

@TheDanicaFine Perhaps coffee becomes horrible at a higher temperature than tea so a reheat is required more quickly? Says the non-tea drinking coffee addict who couldn’t possibly test this hypothesis himself!

@QuinnyPig And after doing so don’t share where your 8 Yubikeys are.

@jeffbarr And sadly with no reusable components on SLS this is the last trip for them all.

This has been the item on the top of my AWS wish list for literally years. And the people rejoiced. And the ones who didn’t rejoice got taken out to the woodshed for remedial security training.
