Some people gamble. I do cable management before first boot.

@seaarepea @BradChacos @AdamPMurray I had one. :)

@zerosecunclosed @Real_Shazam I should update our article - I got so busy last fall I haven't done so yet. It's now a 2:1 ratio, so if you convert 36 mo of Game Pass Core to Game Pass Ultimate, you get 18 months of Ultimate.

I wanted to understand the fuller picture of how the tariffs will affect the prices of tech gear. So I asked industry insiders.

tl;dr - It's complicated.

Tech & techy friends:

What are must-visit spots for weird/cool/unique PC hardware in Tokyo & Seoul? Visiting later this year and I wanna have a plan for attack :)

@Baldassano @pcworld @roboform Ya, I've taken over the beat fully and am ramping back up on it. Been heads-down on other security coverage the past year, but have more capacity to better balance the pillars of coverage now.

@TechDoneRight1 We want to!

@chex383pub For that method, definitely don't use favorite songs, shows, catchphrases that someone who even remotely knows you (or could profile you from social media) could guess.

Anyway, I hope this was helpful. Shooting from the hip so I tend to be wordier.

Not a perfectly random method, and not ideal for folks who might accidentally give away whatever randomness lurks in their heads.

@ELahti Thank you so much, Evan. Future editorial was such a tight-knit group. I know everyone feels the hole left.

[Alaina Yee @morphingball]

I know many of you will feel this loss as well. It hurts profoundly.

My good friend Gordon Mah Ung, legendary reporter and consumer advocate, passed away this past week. Please join us in remembering his contributions for consumer protection: https://t.co/PeZbHaphVl

[Alaina Yee @morphingball]

.@BradChacos is also taking remembrances at [email protected] - so even if you can't financially contribute, you can let Gordon's family know how he touched your life.

[Alaina Yee @morphingball]

Just got this info as well--

If you're so inclined: Gordon's wife and kids still have medical expenses related to his pancreatic cancer treatment to deal with. A GoFundMe campaign is set up, if you'd like to help: https://t.co/QVuG2DXuf1
