  • They don’t do that, but they do send you a push when the fridge door is left open. Which has literally saved my bacon many times.

    But that doesn’t need a screen. Why you’d want a screen on your fridge, I don’t understand. It’ll clearly be slow and obsolete long before the rest of the fridge is.

    It’s the same thing in car infotainment systems. They’re the first thing to feel dated, and they are increasingly difficult to replace. But at least they give a ton of value from the screen.








  • Dude I logged into my Facebook yesterday for the first time in a long time.

    First I found out an old friend from highschool of mine unalived, coming up on the first anniversary of the event. Not close…we were on the football team together one year, we hung out a bit for a few years after I graduated, but honestly I think I’ve seen him once in the past 20 years.

    But then on top of that, I see so many people writing words of praise and support for Kirk. People that I thought were friends, but honestly, I dont think I want to associate with them anymore.

    Lemme clear something…any death is a tragedy, there are better ways, etc etc.

    But, to use their words against them, he was asking for it.

    This guy is the Christo-Fascist version of Joseph Goebbels, and his death is being treated like MLK’s…

    Prominent conservative talking head and one of the big people behind MAGA, Turning Point, and a big proponent of all the associated propaganda. He would sit on Vance’s couch while they take turns sucking Thiel’s dick.

    I guess Nazis would’ve mourned Goebbels if he were assassinated

    Thiel, for those that don’t know, is basically the New World Order. Legit everything that conservative conspiracy theorists have been scared of for decades, and they are lapping it up.

    And I get this funny feeling that Kirk is going to become this generations Franz Ferdinand. Not the singer. Part of me even thinks this was intended to spark a civil war, and the internet rage machine is just working as designed. And probably even arranged by a dickhead like Thiel.

    I’m not saying he deserved to be assassinated. I’m saying that he doesn’t deserve mourning. He has committed his life and legacy to turning back decades, if not centuries, of societal progress. Fuck. Him.

    • admitted the issue immediately

    • reassured users as to actual scope of breach, probable risk

    • provided recommended actions for users who think they may be impacted.

    • explained best-practices (enough for a laymen’s audience) and how they limited scope and impact.

    • did not deflect blame

    My god…I’ve got to hand it to plex. This is the perfect incident response letter. Love 'em or hate 'em, this is a good example for other CISOs.





  • The alternative would probably be (much) higher interest rates until you get below 80% LTV at which point you’re “allowed” to refinance…but no bank will ever remind you of this in hopes you forget…or prime will skyrocket and you’ll be stuck in high interest for an unknown amount of time.

    I think you should put away the monkey paw before they get more inspiration.






  • See, the problem is, free news has to make revenue from somewhere.

    If they aren’t taking subscriptions, then they are probably showing ads, so their content is at the mercy of their sponsors.

    Even if they are taking subscriptions, they are probably showing ads. That makes it doubly bad.

    The alternative is secondary sources (i.e. social media), where theres already a bias by whoever is curating it.

    We are amidst an actual information war. Like, there are at least two totally separate realities existing on the US right now. A reliable source of news is important, and capitalism has destroyed all of the old outlets and left us skeptical of the new ones. Good job, everyone.
