Apple out here collecting @cisco.com trademarks like they're Pokemon. Duo? Really?

IGN@ign.com

After years of it being rumored, Apple has finally revealed a foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, at the company's "Surprise and Shine" September event. https://bit.ly/46aZx5J

When pull into JiffyLube and they're like "What brings you in today?" like i dunno, a sandwich and a ride on the ferris wheel? WHAT ELSE COULD I POSSIBLY BE THERE FOR

The Great American State Fair debacle justsaddens me. The concept is brilliant. Bring together all that actually makes America pretty ok. Food vendors showcasing local specalities from every state, rides and games, music of all kinds. It FEELS like it should be a blast. But everything he touches...

How do I tell my boss "Being the SBOM CVE guy is slowly killing my soul and is not what I joined this company to do, and that's why my productivity has dropped"?

Is there anyone ANYWHERE AT ALL who only wants to see things 10 items at a time? Why is this still a "feature" in modern apps? Who thinks to themselves "12 is a lot of lines, lets just focus on the first ten and then we can forget about the remaining two until later."

What's your thoughts about leaders "gently suggesting" that remote team members go camera-on for meetings? Does it drive engagement?

The only thing I miss about working in-person is the community. My old team used to play board games, go get lunch, and just sometimes hang out. It's not the work that took a dive when I went remote, it was my feeling of social belonging. That said, never wanna go back. #NoRTO

I absolutely hate meetings first thing in the morning. I feel like they throw off my whole day. Just drain any energy I have. I feel like I spend an hour recovering, but then that turns into two, then four, and most of the day is lost to executive disfunction after that.

My favorite thing on FB right now is all the people melting down about WA's new millionaire tax. I had NO IDEA there were so many millionaires in WA that they're coming out in so much force!

Just sat through a corporate personal development training called "Owning your Focus". Apparently the answer for managing my ADHD in the workplace, for excelling in my role, for getting the edge up in my life... is AI. Also, the AI tool they had us use for self-reflection overloaded and crashed.

As a veteran and scouting, I'm disgussed by the SecDef's announcement and Scouting America's kowtowing. Shame on them all. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are baked into the Scout Law, and any effort to remove them from scouting weakens the entire program. apnews.com/article/scou...

People keep saying I make amazing latkes, but I honestly don't know what makes them special. Potatoes in the food processor (grater blade), half an onion, an egg, some flour, sall, that's it. Squeze the juice out by hand, fry in veggie oil. Nothing fancy, nothing complicated. Just oil and potatoes.

I'm not quite sure what's happening, but Tiny Tim might be alive? Or is totally dead? Conflicting information here, and also, should I care one way or another?

The switch on the range hood broke, so I hard-wired a fresh one into where it plugs into the wall. I think I nailed it! #electrician #dndtah

Scrum is out - YOLO Planning is in! - Randomize your backlog! - Put all tickets to "In Progress" until you're ready to work! - Use One-Size-Fits-All tshirts for story point sizing! - Replace your Sprints with Marathons! - Life's short, eat the Retro first! #agile #kanban #scrum #yolo #hashtag

Actually, you know what, they were fine. I liked some of their stuff. Their "specialty", Brown Sugar Bourbon, was too sweet. Really good for cooking though. But they sold off that recipe. Their cocoa bomb is good as a mixer. I liked them because they were local(is) I guess.

Me, an interviewer, 5 minutes after the candidate was supposed to log on to the Zoom: "Ugh, why can't they be on time? This is important and we really need a good new hire!" Also me: "fivemoreminutes fivemoremintes I only have to wait for fivemoreminutes and I can go back to what I was doing!"

"if something happens really bad, maybe I'll just have to blame AI" - President Trump, while blaming AI for the video of stuff being thrown out a White House window

Ok, pretty sure Trump just made the point that hardening schools to help prevent school shooting won't work because "police can't find keys".

I just want to go on the record to say that IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT OK TO BURN US FLAGS!!!! Unless you've verified they're 100% cotton and contain no synthetics like nylon or polyester. Burning those emit toxic chemicals.

I want to write an AI-based bot that reads skeets to determine if the content is a joke, then reply to the skeet with a detailed, yet entirely inaccurate and unuanced explanation of the joke. Jokes are always more fun when they're explained! /s
