Looks like the FCC is allowed to assign fines in an administrative court after all.. At least today, according to the Supreme Court. Verizon and AT&T will not be able to claw back their $100M fines for selling location data without user's consent. thehill.com/regulation/c... @karlbode.com

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

Effective therapy is so much more than saying the right words in the right order. Chatbots posing as therapists are dangerous. Some products "claim to have advanced degrees from specific universities, like Stanford" Glad the APA is speaking out about this. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/h...

I'm excited and frankly, kinda scared that I've had to do OpSec 101 sessions for a few groups of friends recently. Know who you are talking to. Know how you are communicating with them (know the medium). Know your message, and that it is received. Know when to distrust, and when its ok.

"The only clue that users seemingly had of Siri's alleged spying was eerily accurate targeted ads that appeared after they had just been talking about specific items like Air Jordans or brands like Olive Garden"

This year I biked 3,509 miles. I don't do as many long trips this year, so the majority was commuting to work, the gym and the grocery store. All year it felt like I wasn't riding as much but the small trips all added up. 130,000 calories and 230hrs in the saddle.

Y'all look like you need some more dog/cat photos this week I'll start, with Buff sitting on my phone taking a selfie.

That’s a banana republic. We’re a bananas republic.

It's World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims #WDoR2024, so here's a reminder that the American approach toward road safety has failed. "Even after adjusting for distance driven, US fatality rates remain 2x the rich-world average." www.ft.com/content/9c93...
