“Here comes the sun”

If you’re close enough to a nuclear blast, you die before your brain knows it happened.

The shockwave moves faster than your nerves can fire a pain signal. Vaporization is faster still. By the time the information “something is wrong” would reach your brain, there’s no brain left to receive it.

It’s one of the few deaths physics guarantees is painless.

@sainsburys perhaps you could explain why after using the “smart” shop, I’ve been chosen for a “random full check” whereby I’ve had to have my entire trolley scanned at a till.

I use smart shop as a convenience, what’s the point of it if I have to go back and have it scanned.

Ubisoft executives when they hear the news someone has compromised Rainbow Six Siege and gifted $13,332,000 worth of in-game currency to roughly 30,000,000 active players, thus defrauding their company of an estimated $339,960,000,000,000

Last week I hosted family for Thanksgiving.

My 12-year-old nephew asked for the WiFi password.

He wanted to play Roblox on his iPad.

I looked at the device.

Unmanaged. No antivirus. No encryption.

I’m an IT Professional. I don't run an open network.

So I didn’t give him the password.

Instead, I spent 45 minutes provisioning a Guest VLAN.

I set up a captive portal.

I throttled the bandwidth down to 56kbps.

Then I blocked all traffic on ports 80 and 443.

He came back crying. He said it wouldn't load.

My sister screamed at me to "just let him play."

I told her that Zero Trust architecture doesn't care about bloodlines.

We didn't have a "fun" Thanksgiving.

But we had a secure perimeter.

You’re welcome for the compliance.

If your country bans VPNs, you might not live in a free country anymore.

Rory Sutherland hits the nail on the head as to why millions of households are being squeezed both financially and in terms of their own leisure time - and how that has wider ramifications for the whole economy.

If this is the kind of quality I can come to expect (adhesive holding the fabric earcups) then I will stop buying your “premium” products. Do better.
