@twelvesouth To follow up, I received a refund notification just now. Thanks for handling that!

[Russell Gordon (M: @[email protected]) @rgordon]

@twelvesouth I’d like to cancel an order. I’ve sent an email regarding this to your support desk. No reply as of yet, although I know it’s early in the day. Can you please let me know if this has been seen? Thank you in advance for your time.

[Russell Gordon (M: @[email protected]) @rgordon]

I’d pay at least double for a @Sportsnet subscription that never showed gambling or gaming ads during any given show, but especially during @BlueJays games.

@OpenAI Bye – I deleted my paid account today. I will not fund a war machine. #QuitGPT

This is particularly bothersome in the middle of the night, when the house is dark, and someone is trying to visit the bathroom. Moving past the thermostat, the display turns on, and blinds you. Thank-you in advance for any advice you can provide here. Running firmware 4.8.7.530.

[Russell Gordon (M: @[email protected]) @rgordon]

Looking for advice @ecobee. I have a Smart Thermostat Premium. The thermostat is mounted in a hallway that people walk through frequently. Every time someone walks past, the display lights up. Is there a way to turn this off? We only want the display to light up when it is tapped

I designed it to help students prepare for the UK's CyberFirst Girls competition, which is why it's free for all UK schools – no catches, no upgrades, no limits. Since then I've also opened it up free for schools overseas, with the US, Canada, and Australia proving popular.

Three months ago I launched @hacktivateio: a cybersecurity challenge site with 250+ "capture the flag" tests for students aged 11-21. Since then 20,000 solutions have been posted, and the pace doubles every week 🤯 Here's what one teacher says about it. https://t.co/MptR38OnYa

[Russell Gordon (M: @[email protected]) @rgordon]

@pmcash Yes. That’s on my list of things to do this weekend. 😄

[Russell Gordon (M: @[email protected]) @rgordon]

If you teach a technology or computer science course, stop what you are doing right now and ask @twostraws for a Hacktivate account so your students can learn about cybersecurity.

Hacktivate: School cybersecurity challenges

[Russell Gordon (M: @[email protected]) @rgordon]

@pmcash @twostraws Free anywhere in the world; support with any issues only in UK.

It’ll take a few days for an initial request for access to be processed. It’s all self-serve after that and easy to use.

[Russell Gordon (M: @[email protected]) @rgordon]

I'm watching the leaderboard for my students and it's quite obvious that many of my students are choosing to spend their Friday night on Hacktivate challenges. No more need be said!

[Russell Gordon (M: @[email protected]) @rgordon]

“Hacktivate fever" has swept through my classes at Lakefield College School this week, prompting all sorts of terrific conversations about programming, cryptography, logic, and how data is represented on a computer.

[Russell Gordon (M: @[email protected]) @rgordon]

What @BobHepburn said. Is it really too much to ask that the media ask politicians what their... policy is? That politicians be willing to talk about that? I won't vote for a politician or party that wants a blank cheque.

Yes. I did consult with my 14 yo daughter about vocabulary for the post above.

This hour with @strombo on  Music about "The Rebels" (RATM & Kate Bush) for the 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductions… I believe the kids today would say, is really "giving Alan Cross"… shades of the old History of New Music on CFNY 102.1… 10/10 A+ https://t.co/nVcQzBziT4

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good paper dictionary – English to Mandarin – that would be a good reference for students to use during a mathematics contest?

[Russell Gordon (M: @[email protected]) @rgordon]

@jdmstewart1 Yes. This sort of thing shouldn’t happen before the sacrificial turkey.

[Russell Gordon (M: @[email protected]) @rgordon]

There it is.
