Bad news. The Taliban hacked my headphones and turned my grey matter into pudding and now I enjoy Love is Blind

If my enemies know I use bone conduction headphones can they hack the Bluetooth connection and liquefy my brain

In Hyperion, the in-story history refers to an event called “The Big Mistake” wherein an artificial black hole consumes the Earth

I’m not saying we should, but it presents a compelling solution for what to do with sports betting companies and scam call centers

Are you even toddlermaxing if your kid hasn’t listened to Owl make tea out of tears or Frog look for spring or Toad find his lost button

[tyler @leothrix]

I edited my early drafts of this… a lot because LWN is a place to report on technical topics rather than air out editorial opinions, and I think I managed to achieve the former

Still difficult to do! Especially with the outcome unresolved

[tyler @leothrix]

i.e., it’s probably more worthwhile if you block a Chinese ASN that’s hitting wp-admin for eternity than doing some weird hardening trick with an agent
